17、 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 light from each star provide
18、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; too. The air also makes
19、.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 are blue, and the next ho
20、ttest 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 hotter stars produce more
21、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(光度)-the smaller the magnit
22、ude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a number that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With a magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky. ( )24. From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that .
23、A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter B.

25、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 white teeth. Unluckily, his eye
26、s 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 dreams. When I awoke the next mor
27、ning, 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 are all well, Frankenstein,“
28、 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, but I could not stop him. I w
29、as 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 had gone. I was so overcome b
30、y 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. At first, he thought I was just having a bad dream, but then he realized that something very bad happened in my life. At last, I began to get better.

A. broke down B. cheered C.1ost senses D. went wrong D Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation-their young tre
33、es? 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 have made a new discovery and s
34、howed 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 fungi(真菌)networks. This makes
35、 sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep 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 about “Mother trees“. These are
36、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 trees pass on the wealth to the
37、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 the whole forest. “We didnt tak
38、e 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 efforts for the future. ( )30. The
39、 underlined sentence “the opposite is true“ in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees . A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees ( )31.“Mother trees“ are very important because they . A. look the largest in size in the forest B. pa
40、ss on nutrition to young trees C. bring more wealth to humans D. know more about the “tree societies“ ( )32. We can learn from the passage that . A. trees arent as complex as we think B. Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard C. if “Mother trees“ are cut down, they wont make difference to you

Well, you can do something about it. Some psychologists(心理学家) believe that 10% of your happ
42、iness is due to life conditions and 40% is the result of your own choices.
