Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in helispheric(日球层的) physics fr the past half century, passed away peacefully at his hme in Chicag n Mar. 15. He was 94.
Hailed(誉为) as a visinary in the field f heliphysics, Parker revlutinized ur understanding f the sun and its effects n Earth and ther bdies within the slar system. NASA even stated that “the field f heliphysics exists in large part because f Dr. Eugene Parker. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist t witness the launch f a spacecraft that was named in his hnr.
Parker is best knwn fr his grundbreaking thery n the existence f a phenmenn called “slar wind”, a cntinuus stream f charged particles(粒子) that flw ff the sun. It can becme vilent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his thery was initially met with skepticism and ridicule by the scientific cmmunity. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an abslute vacuum(真空), and was thus cmpletely empty f any matter. But, there were n errrs in his study r his calculatins, and the thery was later prven t be crrect in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft missin t Venus revealed the cnstant presence f a supersnic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led t the advice Parker ften gave yung researchers: “If yu d smething new r innvative, expect truble. But think critically abut it because if yu’re wrng, yu want t be the first ne t knw that.” Parker never c-authred a paper with his students, thus urging them t be independent.
Parker was humble, straightfrward, and wise. His sn Eric said, “My sister Jyce and I didn’t get a real feel fr what a ‘big dg’ ur dad was in the field.” They gt an even better sense when a mnth after Parker’s death, they traveled t Lund, Sweden, t accept n his behalf the Crafrd Prize in Astrnmy.
What can we learn frm the secnd paragraph?
A spacecraft was named in memry f Parker.
The sun has less effects n Earth than expected.
Parker deserved credit fr his great cntributins.
NASA prvided new insights int the lunar effect.
Why did peple view Parker’s thery f “slar wind” skeptically at first?
It went against the ppular pinin at that time.
Sme mistakes were fund in his calculatins.
The presence f a supersnic wind was prven by NASA.
Matter was believed t exist in the space between planets.
26. What did Parker suggest yung researchers d?
A. seek clse cperatin B. learn by trial and errr
C. avid high expectatins D. cmpete against thers
27. What wrds can be used t describe Parker accrding t the passage?
A. straightfrward and generus B. respnsible and accessible
C. intelligent yet mean D. distinguished yet mdest
C
Accrding t bdy language expert Rbert Phipps, the way peple sleep at night actually determines a lt abut the type f persnality they have. Phipps has identified fur sleeping psitins that affect persnality.
Phipps fund that wrriers, thse wh stress the mst, tend t sleep in the fetal psitin. He fund that this is the mst cmmn bedtime psitin, with nearly 58 percent f peple sleeping n their side with knees up and head dwn. The mre we curl up, the mre cmfrt we are seeking, accrding t Phipps.
The secnd mst cmmn psitin is the lg. Sleeping with a straight bdy, with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbrnness, and these peple (the 28 percent wh sleep this way) ften wake up stiffer than when they went t sleep.
“The lnger yu sleep like this, the mre rigid yur thinking is and yu can becme inflexible, which means yu make things harder fr yurself, ” accrding t Phipps.
Yearner(向往型) sleepers are next n the list. Abut 25 percent f peple sleep in this style—n their side with arms stretched ut in frnt, lking as if they are either chasing a dream r perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their wn wrst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These peple ften wake up refreshed and eager t face the challenges f the day ahead.
Perhaps the mst peculiar f sleep styles is the freefaller psitin. This sleep style makes up 17 percent f the ppulatin. They sleep face dwn with arms stretched ut. These peple, accrding t Phipps, feel like they have little cntrl ver their life. Nt nly is this the strangest f sleep styles, but als the least cmfrtable, and peple may wake up feeling tired and have n energy.
In cnclusin, Phipps has nly ne mre thing t add, “A gd night’s sleep sets yu up fr the fllwing day and ur sleeping psitins can determine hw we feel when we wake.”
What is the main idea f the passage?
A Gd Night's Sleep Sets Yu Up fr the Fllwing Day
Yur Persnality Depends a Lt n Hw Yu Sleep at Night
Hw Yu Sleep at Night Affects What Yu D the Next Day
Which Sleeping Psitin Helps Yu Sleep Cmfrtably
Which f the fllwing pictures is the fetal psitin?
The underlined wrd “rigid” is clsest in meaning t “________”.
A. stubbrn B. flexible C. cmfrtable D. strange
31. Which sleeping psitin indicates that the sleeper tends t seek perfectin?
A. The fetal psitin. B. The lg psitin.
C. The freefaller psitin. D. The yearner psitin.

Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives t cw milk, including sy, nut, and ccnut milk. These prducts are ppular with cnsumers wh cannt drink cws’ milk fr health reasns, as well as with thse cncerned abut animal welfare and envirnmental sustainability. While the dairy-free ptins wrk well with cereal r in cffee, they fail miserably when it cmes t making milk-based prducts like cheese r ygurt. Hwever, these shrtcmings may sn be a thing f the past, thanks t a new cmpany in Califrnia, which has figured ut hw t create animal-free milk in a labratry!
Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya funded the cmpany in 2014 after becming increasingly annyed with the lack f cws’ milk-free alternatives, particularly fr cheese. Fr Gandhi, wh stpped cnsuming animal prducts five years earlier due t envirnmental and animal welfare cncerns, the mtivatin t create a better alternative stemmed frm his lve f cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred int taking actin after being frced t eat sme “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese n his sandwich.
The tw MIT bimedical engineering scientists decided t jin frces t create a mre realistic alternative t dairy-based prducts. In their university lab, the pair spent nine mnths first islating cw DNA then inserting it int yeast (酵母). This genetic mdificatin enabled the yeast t prduce the necessary milk prteins. The final step f the prcess invlved mixing the prteins with sme plant nutrients and fats.
The dairy-free milk nt nly tastes like the real thing but is als healthier, has a lnger shelf life and, mst imprtant f all, is Earth friendly. Accrding t the cmpany’s website, when cmpared t cnventinal milk prductin, their prcess uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhuse gas emissins and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best f all, since it cntains real milk prteins, the prduct behaves like the cw-prduced versin, which means vegetarian cnsumers will n lnger have t deal with sggy cheese n their sandwiches and pizzas.
The cmpany plans t bring their creatin t market later this year and their first prduct will mst likely be cheese since there are already numerus gd cws’ milk alternatives available t cnsumers.
32. The underlined wrd "thse" in paragraph 1 refers t_______.
A. alternatives B. prducts C. peple D. reasns
33. The cmpany’s funders were mtivated t make the new prduct because f_______.
A. their deep cncern fr the envirnment
B. the pr taste f dairy-free cheese presently available
C. the ver-cnsumptin f the dairy-based prducts
D. their wrry that farm animals were prly treated
34. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. The dairy-free prducts cannt be stred fr a lng time.
B. The new prducts will taste better than dairy-based nes.
C. Cw farming causes cnsiderable envirnmental damage.
D. The dairy-free milk will be mre expensive than cw’s milk.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves Planet
C. Fresher Milk, Better Future D. Making Milk withut Cws
