Extremely energetic light from space is an unexplained wonder.Scientists don’t know where that light comes from,exactly.And now astronomers have spotted this light,called gamma(伽马) rays,at higher energies than ever before.

You can’t see gamma rays with your eyes.They are much more energetic than the light that we can see.So,you need a fancy detector to spot them.The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is an experiment in China.It searches for extremely high energy gamma rays.

Scientists have spotted 12 gamma-ray hot spots.These are parts of the sky from which the gamma rays are sent out.Those hot spots show that our galaxy—the Milky Way,has powerful particle accelerators(加速器).But those particle accelerators aren’t made by humans.Instead,they come from violent events in the universe.They might be exploding stars,for example.Such violent events make electric and magnetic fields,which can speed up protons(质子) and electrons.Those fast particles can then produce gamma rays with a lot of energy.That can happen when protons interact with other matter in space,for example.

Scientists aren’t sure what could produce gamma rays with the extreme energies observed.But the new observations point to two possibilities.One hot spot was associated with the Crab Nebula.That’s the remains of an exploded star.Another possible source was the Cygnus Cocoon.That’s a region where massive stars are forming.The stars send out intense winds in the process.

LHAASO is located on Haizi Mountain in China’s Sichuan Province.It is not yet fully operational.It’s due to be completed later this year.Then,it could find even more gamma rays.

8.What can we learn about gamma rays?

A.They are invisible.

B.They are often ignored.

C.They contain little energy.

D.They are used to explore universe.

9.Why are some examples used in paragraph 3?

A.To make the explanation lively.

B.To help understand the Milky Way.

C.To illustrate the universe is expanding.

D.To show how gamma rays might be produced.

10.Which word can describe the astronomical observation mentioned in this text?

A.Disappointing.　　　B.Exciting.

C.Accurate. D.Unconfirmed.

11.What is a suitable title of this text?

A.Gamma Rays Come from Multiple Sources

B.The Universe Is Exploding with Great Energy

C.Light from Space Has Recorded-Breaking Energy

D.Gamma Rays Can Only Be Seen by Astronauts

The COVID crisis has led many scientists to take up arms (or at least keyboards) to defend their companies and to be sure,science needs defenders these days.But in their passion to fight back against vaccine(疫苗) rejection and other forms of science denial(否定),some scientists say things that just aren’t true.

One popular move is to insist that science is right and that once we discover the truth about the world,we are done.Anyone who denies such truths (they suggest) is stupid or ignorant.Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had decided,only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered.Some familiar examples are Earth as the center of the universe,the absolute nature of time and space,the stability of continents,and the cause of infectious diseases.

Science is a process of learning and discovery,and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is actually wrong.Science can also be understood as an institution (or better,a set of institutions) that promotes this work.To say that science is “true” or “permanent” is like saying that “marriage is permanent”.At best,it’s a bit off-key.Marriage today is adapted to a world that is very different from what it was in the 16th or 18th century,so are most of our “laws” of nature.They are at best,true for now or true until proven otherwise.

In my view,the biggest mistake scientists make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn’t get it is dumb(愚蠢的).Yet science is not simple,and neither is the natural world where the greatest challenge of science communication lies.

Scientific theories are not perfect copies of reality,but we have good reasons to believe that they capture(捕获) significant elements of it.And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality,it sooner or later comes back to bite us.

12.What can we learn from paragraphs 1 and 2?

A.What scientists said is absolutely trustworthy.

B.Scientific findings call for further consideration.

C.It’s unwise to deny some truths scientists have found.

D.Social common sense contributes to discovering a scientific theory.

13.Why does the author compare science to marriage?

A.Neither science nor marriage is reliable.

B.Both science and marriage are true and permanent.

C.Neither science nor marriage remains the same all the time.

D.Both science and marriage can help us tell right from wrong.

14.What can we know about scientific findings?

A.They are always permanent.

B.They can be proven by experiments.

C.We should be ready for their changes.

D.Different scientific methods reach more scientific findings.

15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Are Scientists Dependable?

B.Is Science Actually “Right”?

C.Does Truth Really Function?

D.What’s the Scientific Method?

Why do visitors go to museums?I often ask this question to those who have ever come to a museum.　16　 As an artist and part of the educational staff at the Walker Art Center,I hope to dig into visitors’ need so that we could tailor museum experiences to create more successful visitor experiences.Here is my observation of each motivational identity and characterization of different types of visitors. 

Professionals

This category includes teachers,educators,museum professionals,artists,and people in related fields.　17　 For example,a photographer may attend with the goal in mind to take pictures or to learn about photography through exhibits.An art educator may be interested in the art to broaden the knowledge of his own field or to plan a lesson. 

Explorers

　18　 If you ask them if they like art they will say “yes”;but if you ask them if they come for something in particular,they will probably say “no”.They do not have concrete learning goals but they like to know new things.They may or may not know how to use the museum. 

Experience Seekers

An experience seeker is a person who is checking off a list of landmarks to visit,whether personal or as a tourist.　19　 They simply want to do “what you’re supposed to see in that city or area”.This type of visitors may need to see the museum’s highlights to feel satisfied. 

Facilitators

Facilitators come because of someone else.They are perhaps bringing a friend or a group of people—possibly the children or students—because they think the visit would benefit others,not out of a personal need.　20　 

A.They want to see what is typical of that place.

B.Their goals may range by their particular roles.

C.There are different reasons for visitors’ coming here.

D.You may wonder why I’m interested in this question.

E.Others will naturally pay a visit to museums regularly.

F.Their personal need is to make a good experience for others.

G.They come because attending museums satisfies their curiosity.
