21、 Despite living in it, we hardly know exactly how big the Milky Way is. But new research has provided us with an answer. Using a large survey of stars instead of just models (as previous researchers did), astronomers have now determined the disk of our galaxy to be 200,000 light years across twice as large as was believed a decade ago.
Astronomers know the Milky Way to be a spiral (螺旋状的) galaxy with a flat central disk composed of spiraling arms and a thin outer cloud of stars called the halo ( 光 晕 ). Most of the stars are found in the disk, which rapidly thins out at the edges. The size of the galaxy is measured from the point at which the number of stars in the disk significantly drops, so finding disk stars is key to determining the Milky Way’s size.
Coincidentally, disk stars tend to be much younger than the halo stars. Since stars gradually build up elements over generations, the disk stars’ composition can be different from that of the halo stars, allowing astronomers to figure out which stars belong to which population.
With a process known as spectroscopy ( 光 谱 学 ), researchers studied the chemical composition of over 4,600 stars from two surveys, and mapped out which stars are part of the disk and which belong to the halo. The results clearly show disk stars much farther from the center of the galaxy than before.
The researchers still believe the density of stars in the disk gets lower in an exponential ( 指数的) manner— just farther away from each other than previously thought. Although the galaxy has been supersized, it is still smaller than its neighbor Andromeda, which measures over 220,000 light years across. While our galaxy is looking larger, it ’ s not putting on much weight. Because the outer reaches are much less dense than the center of the galaxy, the additional area is only thinly populated with stars. These few extra stars are only a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the galaxy, so overall the mass of the Milky Way remains largely unchanged.
【1】What has new research found about the Milky Way?
A.It's hard to know its size.
B.It can be measured by using models.
C.It has grown much larger than before.
D.It’s much larger than previously thought.
【2】Where is the size of the Milky Way measured?
A.At the end of the halo.
B.At the edge of the disk.
C.At the start of the disk stars.
D.At the point of the spiraling arms.
【3】How can researchers distinguish disk from halo stars?
A.By studying their chemical composition.
B.By measuring their distance to the sun.
C.By measuring their weight.
D.By comparing their size.
【4】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A.the speed of the stars’ moving
B.the weight of the stars in total
C.the number of stars in an area
D.the size of the Milky Way
【5】What can we infer about the stars in the Milky Way?
A.They are unevenly distributed.
B.They are heavier than previously predicted.
C.They make the Milky Way larger than others.
D.They mainly stay in the outer ranges of the disk.
22、There’s much more to Sydney than just Bondi Beach and the Opera House. This shortlist of things to do and see in Sydney should point you in the right direction.
1. Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhoods
Many of the big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the harbor, in the city center. Here, you can get on ferries (渡轮) to faraway islands or go on a walking tour of the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Museum of Contemporary Art and Museum of Sydney all nearby.
2. Catch a show
The first place that jumps to mind is the Sydney Opera House. But it’s not the only place in Sydney putting on a show. The 1920s State Theatre, in the central business district, is known to host international ballets, concerts and world-class orchestras. Travelers will find live music and comedy shows every night at Enmore Theatre; The Metro in the CBD; and the Factory Theatre in Marrickville. In Surry Hills, the Belvoir Street Theatre puts on award-winning shows year after year.
3. Go to the zoo
Taronga Zoo Sydney is an extremely popular zoo in Australia, which hosts more than 4,000 animals, including giraffes, kangaroos, koalas, chimps and more. Adults and children alike will find that there is plenty to see and do at this zoo. Traveling to the zoo is usually quite convenient for tourists, due to its popularity, and there are multiple options for out of town guests. Parking is available on the Sydney zoo grounds, for about 500 cars. City buses also make trips to the zoo throughout the day, and leave from the Wynyard bus station frequently. The Sky Safari cable car also operates daily between the zoo wharf and the top zoo entrance.

24、American gymnast Simone Biles flies through the air as though she was made for it. She has won more World Championship gold medals than any other female gymnast in history. She is also the first woman gymnast to win three consecutive World all-around titles.
Biles trains 35 hours a week. During training she often comes up with new moves, some of which she uses in competitions. A complicated flip she introduced in the 2013 World Championships is one of four skills that are named after her.
For audiences, seeing Biles effortlessly perform makes it easy to forget how difficult gymnastics is. Athletes are under an intense amount of pressure, and a small mistake can result in serious injury. At the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Biles experienced something gymnasts call “the twisties”, which is when a gymnast loses track of where their body is in the air. Instead of putting herself and her team at risk, Biles withdrew from the competition.
Biles rose to athletic glory from humble beginnings. She spent some time in foster care before she and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted as very young children by their grandfather Ron and his wife Nellie. Biles was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 6 on a school field trip to a gym. She saw some gymnasts practicing, began mimicking their moves and asserted herself by insisting that her parents send her for gymnastics lessons. A coach at the gym also recognized her talent and sent a letter home asking her parents to send her for lessons.
Throughout her career, Biles has kept her passion for the sport, which is evident in the huge smile she often wears while competing. But she also wants people to know the importance of putting mental health first and not ignoring how stress can be harmful to it.
In Biles’ 2016 memoir, titled Courage to Soar, the book tells in her words “how my faith and my family made my wildest dreams come true. And how embracing a dream can give you courage to soar.” Biles’ courage, especially her willingness to assert herself in the face of intense public pressure, continues to be an inspiration for everyone.

A．To introduce American gymnast Simone Biles.
B．To analyze the potential risks in gymnastic competitions.
C．To describe the significance of dreams for gymnasts.
D．To stress Simone Biles’ efforts in her success.
【2】What kind of person do you think Biles is?
A．Persistent and stubborn.
B．Courageous and determined.
C．Warm-hearted and quick-minded.
D．Considerate and curious.
【3】Where is the passage possibly taken from?
A．A book review.
