Located 2,400 meters below Jinping Mountain, their research site is the world's deepest underground laboratory.After reaching the foot of the mountain, it is a 10-minute drive before arriving at the lab.There are six layers of material outside the lab, including natural rock, 50-centimeter-thickconcrete and other materials to keep nearly everything out.However, there is still something that cannot be kept out - the dark matter. According to NASA Science,only five percent of the universe is currently known. Dark energy fills68percent of the universe, and dark matter makes up about 27 percent. Human eyes can't see either of the elements; and no one has detected them yet.Scientists are confident that dark matter exists. According to NationalGeographic,standard physics would suppose that stars orbiting at the edge of a galaxy travel slower than those near the center. However, what we see is that stars turn at nearly the same speed -no matter where they are. Scientists thus believe that stars are driven by the gravitational effect caused by dark matter.With the first dark matter search results from the lab published in 2021, Chinese researchers have successfully narrowed down the range when detecting these “ghosts”. A question remains - why do scientists need such a pure “environment”?Professor Elisabetta, a physicist, told the Science X Network website that dark matter research has to happen deep underground to "cut out the cosmic'（宇宙的）noise and radiation（辐射）”,fdr instance,cosmic rays（射线）which can be absorbed by rocks.If a lab is buried deep enough underground, the impact of cosmic rays may be reduced to zero.17. What's the conclusion about the underground laboratory according to paragraph 1?A. It is built up for researching rocks.B. It is under a mountain in Wenchuan.C. It has ten layers of material outside.D. It is the world's deepest underground lab.13. Which words can best describe dark matter?A. Tiny and beneficial.B. Plentiful and dangerous.C. Invisible and mysterious.D. Unstable and undetectable.14. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?A. How scientists study dark matter.B , Where scientists can find dark matter.C. Why scientists believe dark matter exists.D. What role dark matter plays in the universe.15 . Whafs the reason for building the lab underground?A. To study the gravitational effect.B. To reduce the impact of cosmic rays.C. To better make fantastic dark matter.D.
