21、This year the world celebrates the International Year of Astronomy, marking the 400th anniversary of the first drawings of celestial (天上的) objects through a telescope. This first has long been owed to Galileo. But astronomers and historians in the UK are eager to promote a lesser-known figure, English polymath Thomas Harriot, who made the first drawing of the Moon through a telescope several months earlier, in July 1609. Harriot not only preceded Galileo but went on to make maps of the Moon's surface that would not be bettered for decades.

Harriot lived from 1560 to 1621. By 1609, Harriot had acquired his first telescope. He turned it towards the Moon on 26 July, becoming the first astronomer to draw an astronomical object through a telescope. By 1613 he had created two maps of the whole Moon. The earliest telescopes of the kind used by Harriot had a narrow field of view, meaning that only a small part of the Moon could be seen at any one time and making this work more impressive.

Despite his innovative work, Harriot remains relatively unknown. Unlike Galileo, he did not publish his drawings. Dr. Alan Chapman, Historian of the University of Oxford, explains that the reason may be his comfortable position as a “well-maintained philosopher and a great and wealthy nobleman” with a generous salary. Harriot had comfortable housing and a specially provided observing room on top of Sion House, all of which contrasted with Galileo's financial pressures.

Dr. Chapman believes that the time has come to give Harriot the credit he deserves. “Thomas Harriot is an unrecognised hero of science. His drawings mark the beginning of the age of modern astronomy.” Professor Andy Fabian, President of the Royal Astronomical Society, agrees. “As an astrophysicist of the 21st century, I can only look back and be amazed at the work of 17th century astronomers like Thomas Harriot. The world is right to celebrate Galileo in the International Year of Astronomy, but Harriot shouldn’t be forgotten!”

【1】What do we know about Harriot?

A．He died at the age of 51.

B．He created the first telescope in 1613.

C．He made the first drawing of the Moon in 1609.

D．He created two maps of the whole Earth in 1613.

【2】Why didn’t Harriot publish his drawings?

A．He lacked confidence.

B．He lived a wealthy life.

C．He enjoyed his poor life.

D．His drawings needed improving.

【3】What can be inferred from Andy Fabian’s words?

A．Harriot is a well-known hero of science.

B．Harriot is less important than Galileo.

C．It is significant to honor Galileo as well as Harriot.

D．It is necessary to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy.

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

A．An astronomer who is greater than Galileo

B．An astronomer who is intelligent and gifted

C．An astronomer who deserves a generous salary

D．An astronomer who deserves to be remembered

23、Point your cameras toward the sky as February’s full moon, nicknamed the snow moon, will make its appearance from midnight Tuesday to midnight Thursday, according to NASA.

The snow moon will be at its brightest on February 16 at 11:57 a.m. American East Time, but the best time to view it will be after sunset. As a bonus, the moon will be above the east-northeastern horizon on Wednesday evening, which will place it near Regulus, a bright star.

February’s full moon will be generally visible in areas around the world that do not have dense cloud coverage. It will be below the horizon at the South Pole, though, and therefore not viewable from that area.

A large storm system forecast for the central and eastern United States is expected to bring cloud cover, making moongazing difficult Wednesday night into Thursday morning, especially for anyone east of the Rockies, according to CNN Meteorologist Haley Brink.

The best places in the US to view the full moon will be portions of the Southwest and California, where clearer skies are expected.

There are 10 full moons left in 2022, with two of them qualifying as supermoons. Here is a list of the remaining moons for 2022, according to the Farmers’ Almanac:

• March 18:              Worm moon                                 • April 16:        Pink moon

• May 16:              Flower moon                                 • June 14:        Strawberry moon

• July 13:              Buck moon                                 • August 11:        Sturgeon moon

• September 10:        Harvest moon                                 • October 9:        Hunter’s moon

• November 8:        Beaver moon                                 • December 7: Cold moon

While these are the popularized names associated with the monthly full moons, the significance of each one may vary across Native American tribes.

【1】Where can people watch the snow moon most suitably this year?

A．At the South Pole.

B．In the east of Rockies.

C．In the Central United States.

D．In the Southwest of United States.

【2】Which day is available for appreciating the Harvest moon?

A．April 16.

B．September 10.

C．October 9.

D．December 7.

【3】Who are most interested in the passage?

A．Space amateurs.

B．Tourism lovers.

C．Fashion seekers.

D．Sports enthusiasts.

24、   The moon may hold water in more places and in larger amounts than scientists have suggested in the past. The finding is based on two studies published in Nature Astronomy — that examined new data from the U.S. space agency NASA.

Until about 10 years ago. scientists believed the moon was mostly dry. Then, a series of findings provided evidence that water ice was widespread in small amounts on parts of the moon. The ice was thought to be in areas permanently blocked from sunlight.

But in one of the new studies. NASA said it was able to validate the presence of water molecules (分子) on sunlit parts of the lunar surface. The space agency says the identification came from data collected by its SOFIA airborne observatory equipped with a powerful telescope. The research was led by Casey Honniball of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Scientists have suggested the source of the water may have been comets (彗星), asteroids (小行星), solar wind or interplanetary dust. The new research provides evidence that the water may be surviving on sunlit lunar surfaces because it is attached to minerals.

The second study centered on so-called "cold traps" on the moon. These are areas of the lunar surface that exist in a state of permanent darkness where temperatures are below about minus 160 degrees Celsius. Scientists say temperatures this cold can hold frozen water for billions of years.

Planetary scientist Paul Hayne of the University of Colorado Boulder led the research on cold traps. He said likely "tens of billions" of traps. Hayne's team says the new research suggests more than 40,000 square kilometres of the moon's surface may have the ability to trap water in the form office. That figure is 20 percent bigger than predicted in the past, Hayne said.

Jacob Bleacher is the chief exploration scientist for NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. He told reporters the agency believes it is very important to find out more about where the water comes from and how accessible it is.

【1】Which word can replace the underlined word "validate" in paragraph 3?

A．Deny.

B．Confirm.

C．Observe.

D．Control.

【2】What can we learn about cold traps?

A．There's much moving water there.

B．They exist for a relatively short time.

C．The temperature is extremely low there.

D．They are on the sunlit part of the lunar surface.

【3】What may the future research focus on?

A．How water is attached to minerals.

B．How much water is on the lunar surface.

C．How cold traps take shape.

D．How to make use of the water.

【4】What does the author intend to tell in the text?

A．Moon holds more water than expected.

B．Scientists found cold traps on the lunar surface.

C．Water is found to exist on the moon.

D．NASA's exploration of the moon is under way.
