21、   During the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, a blue point of light shines overhead. The brilliant point on the sky, which looks like a bright star, is actually two stars in close orbit — accompanied by the closest known black hole to Earth.

The newly discovered black hole is about 1,011 light-years from our solar system in the star system HR 6819. Published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics, the object is locked in an orbit with two visible stars. It is estimated about four times the mass of the sun and about 2,500 light-years closer than the next black hole. “It seems like it’s been hiding in plain sight,” says astronomer Kareem El-Badry, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in binary star (双子星) systems but wasn’t involved with the study. “HR 6819 is such a bright star (system) that people have been studying it since the 80s, but it seems like it’s had some surprises.”

“If you find one that is very close to you, and you assume you’re not special, then they must be out there everywhere,” says lead study author Thomas Rivinius, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. Researchers have long estimated that the Milky Way is home to hundreds of millions of black holes, objects whose gravitational fields (引力场) are so strong, not even light can escape. But finding these dark objects has proven extremely difficult. Dozens of black holes in the galaxy have been spotted “feeding” on nearby clouds of gas — a process that sends out x-rays as the material moves around the edges of the black hole. But the majority of black holes in our galaxy cannot be seen, so the only way to find them is by observing their gravitational effects on surrounding objects.

In follow-up work, researchers led by study co-author Petr Hadrava aim to study the light given off by HR 6819 and understand the precise identity of the two close stars.

【1】What do we know about the newly discovered black hole?

A.It moves with two other stars.

B.It came into being in the 1980s.

C.It weighs much more than earth.

D.It can be seen easily during the winter.

【2】What can we infer from Thomas Rivinius’s words in paragraph 3?

A.Most black holes are common.

B.More black holes can be found.

C.Black holes are difficult to learn.

D.Black holes exist in star systems.

【3】What will scientists probably do next?

A.Learn more about the two close stars.

B.Analyze the light around the black hole.

C.Observe the influence of black holes on stars.

D.Study the black holes in the system of HR 6819.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.A New Star System in Universe

B.Two Special Stars in the Same Orbit

C.The Closest Black Hole to the Earth

D.The Biggest Black Hole in the Milky Way

22、Plants: we eat them, juice them-and now it seems we can mine them too!

After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo, the botany professor Alan Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining (harvesting minerals from plants) as a better, partial substitute for traditional mining.

Phytomining, also known as agromining, means collecting metals from live plants. However, this can only be done with a group of plants known as "hyperaccumulators". There are around 700 identified types worldwide, and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they naturally attract and absorb minerals through their roots-metals poisonous to other plants-and then store huge, pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies. The metals can then be extracted from the plants' sap(汁;液), oil, or sometimes even live tissue.

Baker and his colleagues see a lot of potential in phytomining. Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals, but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining.

One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area. Phytomining can extract metal waste, plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations. Aside from this, if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining, then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines, which pollute the nearby waters. Also, since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure, there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore(矿石).

Phytomining has its drawbacks. Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today, compared to traditional mining. Besides, plants can be wiped out by diseases or unexpected weather conditions.

However, there are many reasons to consider phytomining. After all, we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesn't mean sacrificing Mother Earth.

【1】What makes hyperaccumulators different from other plants?

A．The sap poisonous to other plants.

B．The ability to take in and store minerals.

C．The oil extracted from live plant tissue.

D．The concentrations of minerals in their bodies.

【2】What is the advantage of phytomining?

A．It can stop deforestation.

B．It may reduce the desertedmines.

C．It uses clean energy to purify the ore.

D．It can't be destroyed by diseases.

【3】What is the author's attitude toward phytomining?

A．Pessimistic.

B．Indifferent.

C．Optimistic.

D．Skeptical.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Metals From Plants.

B．The Future of Phytomining.

C．What Are Hyperaccumulators?

D．Benefits of Phytomining.

24、Positive Body Image Isn’t Enough

Body image as a construct focuses on our relationship with what our bodies look like. Most research in the field that’s been conducted with adolescent girls has focused on negative body image and its association with things like body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. 【1】 The Dove Self-Esteem Project is a leader in this evolution. Its website states that “our mission is to ensure that the next generation grows up enjoying a positive relationship with the way they look - helping young people raise their self-respect and realize their full potential.”

To fulfill this goal, we need to find ways to promote positive embodiment — that is, healthy ways of subjectively experiencing one’s body in the world that go above and beyond the way we look to the outside world.

1. Promote mindful self-care. In today’s “selfie” culture, where it seems like everything is about appearance, how do we help teens focus on the subjective, lived-in experiences in their bodies? One way is to promote mindful self-care — defined by Cook-Cottone (2015) as behaviors that cultivate an active appreciation for, and engagement with, the body. So, things that promote mind-body connection, like mindfulness, art, and the physical care of the body. 【2】

2. 【3】 Girls learn from a very young age that their bodies are valued for what they look like. Thus, it’s important to promote body functionality, which encompasses “everything the body is capable of doing — rather than how it looks” (Alleva, Veldhuis, & Martijn, 2016, p. 10). For example, focusing on how strong a girl’s legs are and how they help her run and play soccer, rather than how “cute” she looks in her uniform.

3. Look at the social context. Positive embodiment doesn’t develop on its own. Teens are under pressure from all directions, including peers, social media, and parents. 【4】 And we can challenge society as a whole to promote places and spaces where girls can develop positive embodiment in a well-rounded way.

A．In promoting these activities, we can encourage teens to focus on how they feel from within when engaged in these pursuits — rather than what they looked like while doing them.

B．As such, we can model ways of engaging in activities that promote positive embodiment and encourage girls to surround themselves with peers who do the same.

C．Although body image plays a role in having positive embodiment, the two don’t always go hand-in-hand.

D．In recent years, however, there has been a movement toward focusing on positive body image.

E．Be confident of body image.

F．Focus on body functionality.
