17、, Twinkle Little Star is a lovely song for children, but it has two misunderstandings(误解). First, stars arent little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system(太阳系). Second, they dont twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the lig
18、ht from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age. viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter(过滤器)because the air is thick compared to the emptiness of space. What is more, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving
19、; too. The air also makes .stars appear dimmer(暗淡的)than they would be if we could see them from space. If you stop and look at the sky carefully on a dark and moonless night, its easy to find color differences among stars. The color of a star is a signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars
20、 are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible(可见的)stars. Many red stars are so dim that people cant see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars different in brightness is that
21、hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others. Some stars appear brighter to humans simply because theyre closer. Astronomers rank(排列)the brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by giving them a name known as magnitude(
22、光度)-the smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a number that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other.

25、im at night? C 4 It was one oclock in the morning when I at last succeeded in creating life. As I looked at the lifeless human being, I saw one eye slowly open. Then he began to breathe and move his arms. At first, I thought he would be a fine-looking man. He had yellow skin, black hair and very whi
26、te teeth. Unluckily, his eyes were watery, and his lips were thin and colorless. I soon realized that there was nothing beautiful about him. I ran out of the room, disgusted(恶心) by the creature I had created. I tried to sleep, but for hours I could not. Then, when I did get to sleep, I had bad dream
27、s. When I awoke the next morning, I did not want to return to my laboratory and the monster I had created. I went for a long walk until I came to an inn. There, to my pleasure and surprise, I found my friend, Henry Clerical. “Tell me about my family,“ I asked him. “And Elizabeth, How is she?“ “They
28、are all well, Frankenstein,“ he said. “But you do not look well; my friend. Your eyes look as if you have not slept for many weeks.“ I knew this was true. “I have been so busy,“ I explained, “that I have been working without rest.“ Henry walked back with me to my department. I did not want him to, b
29、ut I could not stop him. I was afraid that the creature i had left there might be alive and walking about. When we reached my apartment, I asked Henry to wait outside for a few minutes. I did not explain why. I slowly opened the door and entered the room. To my surprise, it was empty. The creature h
30、ad gone. I was so overcome by the feeling that I fainted. I was ill for many months. During my illness, Henry was my only nurse. He heard me talking in my sleep about a monster.

33、t generation-their young trees? Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist(生态学家)at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex(复杂 的)than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin(达尔 文)thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team hav
34、e made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition(营养)such as nitrogen(氮)and carbon “depending on who needs it“. Nitrogen(氮)and carbon are shared through miles of underground f
35、ungi(真菌)networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep 5 them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元)in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all. Simard talks ab
36、out “Mother trees“. These are usually the largest, oldest plants that on which all other trees depend. These “Mother trees“ are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these tr
37、ees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “Mother trees“ without paying attention to these highly complex “tree societies“ of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save t
38、he whole forest. “We didnt take any notice of it,“ Simard says sadly. “Mother trees“ move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection effo
