something made of gold,especially sinceChina is one of the worlds biggest buyers of gold jewellery.Its even inour smartphones-they contain parts made from this expensivematerial.But where does this beautiful metal actually come from?Theanswer:outer space.This August,Chinese scientists became the first in the world towitness gravitational waves(引力波)caused by the collision of neutron(中子)stars,reported Xinhua News Agency.The sight was witnessed at Chinas Kunlun Antarctic Station at theSouth Pole,and Insight,Chinas first X-ray astronomical satellite,alsocontributed to the discovery.Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before,thiswas the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided.Itsbelieved that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy,andeven to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.“The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in theuniverse,”JinZhiping,aresearcheratthePurpleMountainObservatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,told Xinhua.According to an article published by ,scientists havelong believed gold and other materials are created in this way,but itwasnt until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universehad confused the scientific community for quite a long time,”Hans-Thomas Janka,a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute forAstrophysics in Germany,said in a news release.“Now,we have thefirst observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并)as sources.”Indeed,therecentlyobservedcollisionisthoughttohaveproduced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more thanEarth,according to New ScientistDont expect to be showered in gold any time soon,however.Thecollision actually took place 130 million years ago,taking all that timefor the events light to reach Earth.But at least if you want to see a piece of space

CleanEnergy Regulator showed on Tuesday.Australias solar power prosperity could almost double capacityin a year,The data also revealed that the average system size has alsodoubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average pricescontinued to fall.A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of$5,930in Australia,according to the energy broker Solar .au.Itsrecords show that the price has roughly halved in many capital citiessince 2012.The regulators executive general manager,Mark Williamson,said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to take control ofelectricity bills.But more importantly,he said it was also good news forreducing carbon emissions,“We are seeing a wide cross section of Australianshouseholds,community centers,schools,and small businessesreceiving rewardsunder the small scale renewable energy scheme,”Williamson said,“Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to takecontrol of their electricity bills.”In 2017,there was a 41%increase in installing renewable energycapacity across all states and territories compared to 2016.Queenslandled the way with installed capacity at 295MW,with the AustralianCapital Territory taking

advanced than other countries.15.What is the biggest feature of the renewable energy according toMark Williams?A.Reducing pollution.B.Providing enough energy.C.Lowering electricity bills.D.Simplifying installed equipment.12.B 推理判断题。由第一段第一句 The future of Australias solar industryhas looked bright since 3.5m panels(嵌板)were installed on rooftopslast year,giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-firedpower station.可知,澳大利亚的太阳能产业前途光明。promising 有前途的,符合题意。risky 有风险的,unpredictable 无法预测的,in expectation 在预料之中,均不符合题意。故选 B。13.D 细节理解题。由文章第二段可知,澳大利亚的太阳能产业的发展是因为安装太阳能系统的价格持续下降。故选 D。14.B 词义猜测题。根据此短语的后一句 It looks like 2018 will be another bigyear for the solar industry.可知,2018 年对于太阳能产业来说又是一个好年头。所以,这个短语的意思是“日益强大”,这表明澳大利业的太阳能产业正在迅速发展。故选 B。15.A 细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“Our data shows consumers areembracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity billsto reduce pollution.”可知,我们的数据表明消费者乐意接受可再生能源来控制他们的电费,从而减少污染。所以 A 项正确。providing enoughenergy 提供足够的能源,lowering electricity bills 降低电费,simplifyinginstalled equipment 简化安装设备,均不符合题意。第二节第二节(共共 5 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1010 分分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Protecting your eyesight is one of the most important things
