26、Scientists working in NASA say they have made a significant discovery that a huge star seems to have disappeared from the universe. The star is part of the Kinman Dwarf galaxy, pictures of which were taken in the past by a camera attached to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. But since the galaxy is so far away, researchers have not been able to clearly observe its stars. Astronomers had, however, identified important “signatures”, or signs, that the massive star existed. Now they are searching for answers to why it is no longer possible to see them.

A team of scientists from the European Southern Observatory reported it had been observing the star with its Very Large Telescope, VLT, for at least 10 years. The team said its observations repeatedly showed evidence that the Kinman Dwarf galaxy contained the massive star, which was estimated to be about 2.5 million times brighter than our sun. Researchers said the evidence suggested that the star was “in a late stage of its evolution”. They added that the star was a kind considered to be “unstable”. This means it could go through major changes in brightness or lose some of its mass.

Andrew Allan, the project’s leader, said the researchers wanted to learn more about how massive stars end their lives. The massive object observed in the Kinman Dwarf galaxy seemed like the perfect target. But when astronomers turned the VLT toward the distant galaxy in 2019, they could no longer find any signs of the massive star. “Instead, we were surprised that the star had disappeared,” Allan said in a statement.

The astronomers are now exploring two possibilities. The first is that the star might have become less bright and could be partly blocked by dust. The other possibility is that it collapsed into a black hole without producing a super powerful explosion.

The astronomers plan to keep observing the galaxy for signs of the missing star. They will likely need to wait a few years before confirming what happened to this particular star.

【1】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The stars.

B．The galaxies.

C．The signatures.

D．The astronomers.

【2】What do we know about the massive star?

A．It was once clearly observed.

B．It experienced a temporary change.

C．It could only be traced with the VLT.

D．It evidently existed in the distant galaxy.

【3】Which of the following might explain the disappearance of the massive star?

A．It exploded.

B．It lost some of its mass.

C．It evolved into a black hole.

D．It was damaged by dust and became less bright.

28、   Golden eagle populations in the UK are set to increase as some chicks are reintroduced to the north of England. Ten birds will be released (释放) from south of Edinburgh in summer 2018, with the hope of bringing the species back from disappearing in England. More eagles will be released in the summertime of the next five years.

The project received £ 1.3 million of lottery funding in March and has now been awarded a further £ 150,000 to employ workers to run the operation. Project manager Cat Barlow said: “This is a really exciting time as the project is now starting to happen and we will soon start to see its benefits. Work will start next summer, when we will collect a number of golden eagle chicks in the Highlands and bring them south to be reared and released from an already selected place.”

The birds will be released with satellite tracking tags that will allow the scientists to gather information about their behavior and find if they suddenly go offline.

Recently, golden eagles have died out in England as the last known individual is believed to have died. Due to the popularity of shooting birds of prey (食肉猛禽), those birds in the wild struggle to survive. Main causes of death are systematic poisoning, shooting and nest disturbance by gamekeepers.

It is hoped that the newly released birds will move further south in search of new living areas and food supplies. The project expects to see the number of wild birds in Scotland and England increase as the range of the animals develops. While the birds were gone in England, in the Highlands of Scotland the number of golden eagles rocketed with up to 500 breeding pairs, the chicks will be sourced from here. It is hoped that golden eagles may finally return to the north of England, and if all goes well, numbers should grow steadily.

【1】Why will some golden eagles be set free from south of Edinburgh?

A.To keep the balance of nature. B.To encourage more birds to live in the wild.

C.To bring back the number of other species. D.To prevent eagles from dying out.

【2】Which word can replace the underlined word “reared” in Paragraph 2?

A.Sold. B.Stored.

C.Raised. D.Exhibited.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 focus on?

A.Reasons for golden eagles’ dying out.

B.Why animal hunting should be forbidden.

C.Harmful effects of shooting birds.

D.The difficult situation golden eagles face.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the golden eagle project?

A.Ambiguous. B.Hopeful.

C.Sceptical. D.Cautious.

29、It was near the end of summer in my 16th year. I was riding in the back seat of a large van heading down an endless road. I was at the end of a two-week road trip with several other teenagers to visit a college in Iowa. Along the way I had spent several days in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and on the road, I felt tired, solitary, and homesick. It was the longest that I had ever been away from my family.

I glanced out of my window and suddenly my heart leapt. There, in the distance, I could see them: the beautiful mountains of my home. After days and days on the dry, brown plains I finally saw the green hills in which I had grown up again. As we got closer and closer to those green mountains I felt myself becoming happier and happier. My face lit up and my smile returned. Warmth filled my spirit. It felt so good to be going home. It was such a joy to be heading back to the place where I was raised. It was such a blessing to finally know that I was almost back where I belonged.

Looking back on that memory makes me wonder what it will be like when I finally return to my true home. Even for the longest life, this world is just a temporary residence. It is a place that we learn, love and grow in, but it isn’t really home. Our true home lies beyond this world and its love, joy and beauty cannot be described in words. It is where our family awaits us.

Until I reach that blessed place, though, I will do my best to enjoy each day of life’s journey here. I will do my best to use every moment to get a little closer to home. I will do my best to travel through life with a loving heart, a pleasant smile and a giving spirit.

【1】What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Getting Closer to Home

B．A Joyous Smile

C．An Unforgettable Journey

D．My Beautiful Hometown

【2】Which of the following CANNOT describe the author’s feelings in the first paragraph?

A．Worn out

B．Lonely

C．Missing his family

D．Pleased and happy

【3】Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A．The author went on the trip by bike.

B．The author spent days travelling abroad.

C．The author had been travelling on the plains.

D．The author had once been on a longer trip than this one.

【4】According to the passage, what the author most values is ___________.

A．how long he lives

B．his family

C．his hometown

D．how many places he visits

They shine. ” I don’t know how much light I have__________these years, but I do know that I won’t keep it__________under a basket. I will shine it. I will share it. I will use it to__________as much goodness, love, joy, and wisdom into this world as I possibly can.
