“Palace, Muntain, Mn?” has been selected by NASA as the Astrnmical Picture f the Day fr December 25, 2023.
The pht was taken by Valeri, a yung phtgrapher f Turin, Italy. It was sht n the evening f December 15, 2023. While he knew abut NASA’s cmpetitin, he hadn’t cnsidered participating until receiving much encuragement frm his scial media fllwers. Sn after, he received the message, “Yur image has been chsen as the astrnmical pht f the day.” It was incredible!
In a pht like this, nthing is left t luck. The cncept came t him back in 2017. Walking n the hills nrth f Turin, he fund several spts perfect fr including bth the Basilica f Superga Palace and Muntain Mnvis.

Its varius phases (位相) and psitins reach an azimuth angle (方位角) f 230 degrees,” Valeri said. With this in mind, he researched the Mn’s phases, marked ptential dates n the calendar, and planned the exact mments when the mn culd jin the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Mn was in a waning phase. This meant that in the pht, nt nly was its crescent (新月) lit up, but s was the left part, its shadwed side. That part is lit by reflected light, als knwn as Da Vinci’s glw, named after him because he was the ne wh therized abut why the Mn’s shadwed side is brightened. During the early days f the waning Mn phases, the shadwed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects ff the Earth and hits the Mn’s shadwed side, giving it a greyish, silvery clr. This allwed the light t utline Mnvis n the left as well.
12. Why did Valeri send the pht t NASA?
A. He develped an interest in astrnmical advances.
B. He expected t encurage fllwers n scial media.
C. He received brad supprt frm enthusiastic fans.
D. He gt a message f invitatin frm NASA.
13. In Valeri’s pht, the three bjects ________.
A. shine light n each therB. stand in a straight line
C. fit each ther in sizeD. vary frm usual in clr
14. What did Valeri d t prepare fr the perfect pht?
A. Studying hw the Mn phase changes.
B Pay numerus visits t the spts fr gd luck
C. Analyzing when t adjust the camera angle.
D. Measuring the height f the bservatin pint.
15. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glw?
A. The utline f the crescent.B. The utline f Superga.
C. The dark side f the Mn.D. The shadwed side f the Earth.

【17题详解】
分析设空，位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“Research shws that peple wh are ptimistic and think psitively tend t experience less stress and cpe well when faced with life’s challenges. Peple wh are mre pessimistic may find it hard t believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even fund that thinking psitively can make yu live lnger.

【19题详解】
分析设空，是本段的小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据下文“Research has shwn that it can help t draw r write an utcme that’s psitive —fr example, an image f yu playing guitar, having passed yur next grade. Imagining this can mtivate yu t wrk t achieve it, such as practicing every day after schl.(研究表明，画或写一个积极的结果会有所帮助——例如，你弹吉他的画面，已经通过了下一次考试。想象一下可以激励你去实现它，比如每天放学后练习)”可知，本句主要讲述了，要学会积极的想象一些事情，也就是积极地思考，所以A项“Learn t think psitively.(学会积极思考)”符合文意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
