21、Like a phoenix (凤凰), some stars may burst to life covered in “ash,” rising from the remains of stars that had previously passed on.

Two fireballs covered in carbon and oxygen, ashy byproducts of helium fusion (氦聚变), belong to a new class of stars, researchers report in the March Monthly Notices. Though these burning objects are not the first stars found covered in carbon and oxygen, they are the first discovered to have helium-burning cores.

“That merger (并合) tells you the star must have evolved differently,” says study author Nicole Reindl.

The stars may have formed from the merger of two white dwarfs (白矮星), the remaining hearts of stars that exhausted their fuel, Reindl further explains. One of the two was rich in helium, while the other contained lots of carbon and oxygen. These two white dwarfs had already been orbiting one another, but gradually drew together. Eventually the helium-rich white dwarf “ate” its partner, leaving carbon and oxygen all over its surface, just as a messy child might get food all over their face.

Such a merger would have produced a star covered in carbon and oxygen to burn nuclear fusion in its core again, says Tiara Battich, a German astrophysicist.

To test this idea, Battich copied the evolution, death and eventual merger of two stars on his computer and simulated (模拟) the process. He found that putting together a carbon-and-oxygen-rich white dwarf and a more massive helium one could explain the compositions of the two stars observed by Reindl and her colleagues.

“But this should happen very rarely,” Battich says. In most cases the opposite should occur, because carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones. For the rarer case to occur, two stars slightly more massive than the sun must have formed at just the right distance and the right time.

The origins story Battich proposes demands a very specific and unusual set of circumstances, says Simon Blouin, a Canadian astrophysicist. “But in the end, it makes sense.”

【1】What’s the newest discovery of the merger of two stars?

A．It produces a mass of helium ash.

B．It possesses a helium-burning core.

C．It is covered in carbon and oxygen.

D．It makes an oxygen atmosphere for life.

【2】How did Battich prove his assumption of the merger?

A．By co-working with Rcindl’s team.

B．By making astronomic observations.

C．By building models on his computer.

D．By testing the two stars’ compositions.

A．the carbon-oxygen white dwarf “ate” the helium one

B．the helium white dwarf “ate” the carbon-oxygen one

C．helium white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones

D．carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

B．The burning of stars brings them to life.

C．Stars inspire scientists to reflect on the universe.

D．Star mergers can unfold in more than one way.

22、   Walter Osipoff was an experienced parachutist（伞兵）.He had already made more than 20 jumps by May 15 , 1941. That morning, Osipoff trained his soldiers to practice jumps. Three boxes, containing weapons, were also to be parachuted overboard as part of the exercise.

Most of the soldiers had already jumped when Osipoff, standing a few inches from the plane's door, started to push out the last box. Somehow his parachute was suddenly opened. Instead of flowing free, Osipoff’s parachute now wrapped itself around the plane's tail wheel. He was now hanging below the tail of the plane. The soldiers struggled to pull Osipoff to safety, but they could not reach him. The plane was starting to run low on fuel, but an emergency landing with Osipoff dragging behind would certainly kill him. And pilots had no radio contact with the ground. To attract attention below, they eased the transport plane down to 300 feet and started circling the airport.

Meanwhile, Bill Lowrey and John McCants saw the trouble at the same time. As the plane circled once again, Lowrey yelled to McCants, “We must save him!” Lowrey's plane took off quickly. Within minutes, they made five approaches, but the air proved too bumpy（颠簸）to try for a rescue. Lowrey flew back once again and edged the plane closer. McCants, standing upright in the back, reached for Osipoff. He grabbed him at the waist and pulled Osipoff into the plane. Lowrey then nosed his plane inch by inch closer to the transport and used his propeller（螺旋桨）to cut the parachute lines. After hanging for 33 minutes between life and death, Osipoff was finally free.

Three weeks later, Lowrey and McCants were awarded for accomplishing “one of the most brilliant and daring rescues in history". Osipoff spent the next six months in hospital. The following January, he went back to parachute jumping.

【1】What happened to Walter Osipoff on May 15,1941 ?

A.He was trapped in a skydiving incident.

B.He threw weapon containers by mistake.

C.His soldiers refused to practice parachuting.

D.His parachute failed because of his carelessness.

【2】Why did the transport plane circle the airport?

A.To inform the ground crew to refuel for it.

B.To warn other planes to keep away from it.

C.To show the dangerous situation to the ground.

D.To tell the ground to receive weapon containers.

【3】How did Lowrey and McCants perform the rescue?

A.They pushed Osipoff back into the plane.

B.They boarded the transport plane to help.

C.They flew under Osipoff* s plane to free him.

D.They guided the transport plane to land safely.

【4】What did people think of Lowrey and McCants' behavior?

A.Fearless. B.Subjective. C.Confidential. D.Tentative.

23、With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen (氢气) production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity.

Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and oxygen molecules (分子). The process doesn’t produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way.

The separated hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels. Hydrogen also can be used as a transportation fuel, which could one day transform the highly polluting shipping and aviation sectors.

Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.

“If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it’s in two countries, Spain and Portugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. “Hydrogen is the new oil.”

Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete.

Globally, Lepercq said, “Electricity, power, is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace them now.”

【1】Why are some experts cautious about green hydrogen production in Spain?

A．It needs large amounts of sun and wind.

B．It has an effect on heavy industries.

C．It causes conflicts among countries.

D．It uses lots of zero-carbon electricity.

【2】What is the advantage of green hydrogen production in Spain?

A．Ideal geographical conditions.

B．The support from government.

C．Hydrogen production technology.

D．Well-developed public transports.

【3】What can be inferred about green hydrogen in Spain according to Lepercq?

A．It is highly priced.

B．It is easy to store.

C．It is competitive.

D．It is highly-polluting.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Spain Manages to Use Zero-carbon Electricity

B．Spain Struggles to Lead EU in Green Hydrogen

C．Spain Takes the Lead in Preventing Air Pollution

D．Spain Replaces Fossil Fuel with Green Hydrogen

24、   Ed Jackson："I want to be the first quadriplegic（四肢瘫痪者）to climb Everest，"

Former Wasps player was told he would never walk again after an accident in 2017.

"It was a lovely day like this and we had a barbecue." Ed Jackson says as he remembers the accident which broke his neck，ended his rugby career and left him paralyzed（瘫痪）with a medical prediction that he would never walk again. "I walked to the edge of a feature pool with a waterfall at one end. I couldn't tell which was the deep end so I dived in，fell straight to the bottom，and hit the top of my head. When I tried to stand up I couldn't. Luckily my dad was in the pool. He's a retired doctor and he knew it was a spinal cord（脊柱）issue."

Jackson survived surgery but was told that his paralysis was almost certainly permanent. "After five days of trying to move my toes with nothing happening，I thought there's a good chance they're right."

"Every night on my own，I imagined what it would be like for my wife to look after me for the rest of my life. If this was going to continue all my life，I would never have forgiven myself." In the dark，his mind was at war with itself. "That fear of the unknown is terrifying. Every day I would stare at my toe and try to move it."

On day six his toe twitched（抽动）！The next few months became a series of his exciting moments. Jackson kept chasing those wins.

Once Jackson could walk he decided to climb Snowdon to coincide with the first anniversary of the accident. On 1 April 2018，with a heavy brace on his leg，Jackson reached the summit of Snowdon.

Climbing is exhausting and dangerous for a quadriplegic but，with his face lit by sunshine，Jackson uncovers a previously secret dream. "I want to be the first quadriplegic to climb Everest. I would love that to be where the story of my recovery ends. And then I just want to go on laughing and living.
