I was getting tired of reading such absurd stuff and I determined to see what this meant. Copper was more
8、 or less familiar to me, for copper cents were then in use. I had seen a bottle marked “nitric acid” on a table. I did not know its peculiarities(特性), but the spirit of adventure was upon me. Having nitric acid and copper, I had only to learn what the words “acts upon” meant. Then the statement, “ni
9、tric acid acts upon copper”, would be something more than mere words.In the interest of knowledge I was even willing to sacrifice one of the few copper cents in my possession. I put one of them on the table, opened the bottle marked “nitric acid”, poured some liquid on the copper, and prepared to ma
10、ke an observation. But what was this wonderful thing which I beheld? The cent was already changed, and it was no small change either. A green blue liquid foamed(起泡沫)and gave off smoke over the cent and over the table. The air in the neighborhood of the performance became dark red. A great colored cl
11、oud arose. This was disagreeable and suffocatinghow should I stop this? I tried to get rid of the mess by picking it up and throwing it out of the window, which I had meanwhile opened. I learned another factnitric acid not only acts upon copper but it acts upon fingers. The pain led to another unexp
12、ected experiment. I drew my fingers across my trousers and another fact was discovered. Nitric acid acts upon trousers. Taking everything into consideration, that was the most impressive and probably the costliest experiment I have ever performed. It resulted in a desire on my part to learn more abo

15、 beings to blame for climate change? These questions have burst into newspapers, TV programmes, films and popular books. The discussion on this subject has been heated, but what are scientists actually saying? At Readers Digest, we decided to find out.Has the planet ever been this warm before?Yes, i
16、t has, and even warmer. Greenland was forested between 450 000 and 800 000 years ago, so temperatures were, considerably warmer then. There have also been other times of relatively high temperatures.So why does the concern exist?Its all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. In the past
17、, temperatures moved up or down gradually. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1 000 years. Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or R
18、ussia. However, many species may not adapt to these conditions, and the ones that are able to may cause a problem. Mosquitoes have been moving northwards to higher places. The West Nile virus, first seen in North America nine years ago, infected about 4000 people in the US in 2006. The mountain pine
19、 beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13 million hectares of Canadas forests, worth an estimated $ 6.4 billion.What is causing the warming?The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that human activity is very likely responsible, by incre
20、asing the concentrations of greenhouse gases and thus the greenhouse effect. More than 25 scientific societies including those in the G8 nations, have endorsed the conclusion. Some scientists, however, still disagree, arguing that the human contribution is nothing.28. When the planet is heating up,
21、which of the following can most likely benefit from it?A. Forests. B. Animals.C. Agriculture. D. Industry.29. We can infer from the passage that in the past _.A. temperatures remained the same for a long timeB. more and more animals died of the cold weatherC. crops couldnt grow in cold countries lik

Refused.31. In which part of a magazine can we most probably find the text?A. Advertisement. B. Stories.C. To
23、days news. D. Scientific reports.DCosmologists(宇宙学)cant agree on how fast the universe is expanding because the two methods they use lo find out give different results. Now a third method involving gravitational waves could help break the deadlock.Gravitational waves are the waves in space-lime whos
24、e existence was confirmed in 2015 by the Laser Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory(LIGO). They are produced when massive objects like black holes or neutron(中子)stars smash together.To calculate the Huhble constant(常数), which quantifies the expansion rate of the universe , astronomers usuall
25、y look at distant. objects and find out two things: how far away they are and their redshift , which is the degree to which the objects light has stretched as it passed through expanding space on its way toward us.The Huhble constant is usually calculated either by looking at certain supernovae(超新星)
26、or at the cosmic microwave background , often called the big bangs afterglow. But these methods result in different members.It is possible that ibis difference is caused by errors, but some astronomers believe that ii is evidence of unknown physics. The events that make gravitational waves dont alwa
27、ys produce light. Even if they do, it can be hard to spot. But in 2017, LIGO researchers showed that if they could catch some light from the source of a gravitational wave, they could measure the redshift. The gravitational wave itself gives the distance, so the Hubble constant could be calculated.
28、Now the I LIGO team has extended its work to black hole connections, which dontgive off light. The group instead used galaxy catalogues to identify the most likely place that the gravitational waves come from. Then they used tile galaxys redshift in their calculations.The new method is important bec
29、ause it is independent of the other two but it cant yet provide a definitive answer. The 10 detections made so far are too few to provide a precise estimate of the constant. Perhaps this is the way science has to go: long and hard. 32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The definition of gravitatio
30、nal waves.B. The definition of black holes or neutron stars.C. Things that gravitational waves produce.D. The time when gravitational waves was confirmed.33. How did scientists use to know the Hubble constant?A. By gravitational waves in spacetime.B. By supernovae or the big hangs afterglow.C. By th
31、e brightness of lights through objects.D. By the galaxy catalogues listed in the book.34. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. The events occasionally produce light. B. The LIGO team hasnt known black hole connections. C. The LIGO team used Galaxy catalogues for estimates. D. Some astronomers unkno
32、wn physics caused the errors. 35. What can we know about the third method involving gravitational waves?A. It is an evident connection of the former two. B. It hasnt been tried by the LIGO team now. C. It is hardly practical to the calculation so far. D. It is proved worse than the two methods used
