Recently, his efforts were reward
9、ed when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Observatory Greenwichs annual astrophotography contest. His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on
10、the right, both pictured larger in size than normal. “All families are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system,” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wangs picture. “A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of
11、 astronomical photography.”It hasnt been easy taking pictures of outer space. For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when theyre opposite the sun in Earths sky to get the brightest images. Whats more, he still needed to wait for clear weather to see better. For e
12、xample, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with the naked eye, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed. At sunset, he shot 10, 000 frames of video and selecte

Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldnt go downstairs to fetch a coat, even in the middle of winter. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the

17、DDreams in Heart, Teenager Succeeds in Top ContestTake the wheel of an electric vehicle and prepare to be amazed. The latest technology is there, with tablet-like screens instead of old-fashioned switches. Add falling price which makes owning and running many electric vehicles (short for EV)as cheap
18、 as fossil-fuel alternatives, and the open road signals. Above all, the instant acceleration of battery power makes driving easy and exciting.EV should be recharged roughly every 250 miles. When you do find a public charging point, it is sometimes inaccessible, which causes “range anxiety”. It is on
19、e of the main reasons drivers give for not buying an EV. Who might install them? Drivers will need a mix of fast long distance chargers installed near motorways and slower “top-up” chargers available in the car parks of shopping centers, restaurants and so on. Dedicated charging firms and carmakers
20、are investing in infrastructure. Oil companies are putting chargers in petrol stations and buying charging companies. Yet the charging business suffers from big problems. One is how to adjust between the planning authorities and grid firms. Another is the cost. To start with, profits may be difficul
21、t to attain because the networks will not at first be heavily used. A related risk is that the coverage will have gaps. And then there is the question of competing networks. Drivers should be able to switch from one to the other without having to sign up to them all. What to do? Government is experi
22、menting. As well as funding EV sales, many are throwing cash at public chargers. Americas law sets aside $7.5 billion to create 500,000 public stations by 2030. Britain plans to require new building to install chargers. Yet the problem of coverage and convenience will remain.8What is the biggest hig
23、hlight of an EV?AFalling price.BReplacing switches.CRunning self-drive.DInstant acceleration of battery power.9What does the underlined words range anxiety in paragraph 2 refer to?AThe reason for drivers not buying an EV.BThe issue of who might install charging points.CThe doubt of whether drivers c

25、nd the grid.11What is the authors attitude towards the governments plan?ARecognized.BNeutral.CPrejudiced.DUnconcerned.We have a family tradition where each year, on New Years Eve, we sit down and go through old albums. This year, when we were doing this annual routine, I noticed my grandmother looke
26、d shorter now than in pictures from when she was younger. Our height decreases with age. The height that most of us boosts during our teens and twenties suddenly decides to leave us behind as we get increasingly older. So we see our parents and grandparents “shrinking”. This loss in height is observ
27、ed in both males and females and across continents. Aging is universal; so too is our gradual reduction in height. People typically begin losing their height around the age of 30 years. Every ten years after this age, humans lose almost one centimeter, which roughly translates to about one half of a
28、n inch. This decrease in height also accelerates with age. Men and women lose height differently. Women lose more inches compared to males of the same age. Also, interestingly enough, the rate of height loss depends on their initial height, with the taller ones losing more height. The length of leg
29、bones and the spine determine the height of a person. These normally attain their maximum length by the end of adolescence, after which ones height does not increase. During our “adult phase”, the length of the leg bones remains pretty much the same, but the spinal bones tend to play a key role in t
30、he reduction of height. Besides, the ligaments of the foot start degenerating with age. This arches our foot down. Thus, our height may reduce slightly. In addition, the body loses its lean mass muscle with age due to, in part, loss of muscle tissues. This condition is age-related loss of muscle. Th
31、e muscle fibers shrink and are replaced at a slower rate. This muscle loss makes us look shorter.Nothing can really push the stop button, but it can lose some speed through appropriate diet, regular exercise, and general avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.12Why does the author mention his f
32、amily tradition?ATo indicate the value of family.BTo analyze a complicated issue.CTo introduce the topic of the text.DTo share his interesting experiences.13Who probably loses height the most?AA tall 70-year-old man.BA short 50-year-old woman.CA tall eighty-year-old woman.DA mid-height eighty-year-o
33、ld man.14What changes will mainly determine the height decrease?ASpinal bones.BMuscle tissues.CLeg bones.DFoot ligaments.15What can be known about the height reduction?AIt can be stopped.BIt can affect health.CIt can change lifestyle.DIt can be slowed down.二、七选五Have you ever had the pleasure of popp
