Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New FriendsCFilm Puts Justifiable Defense in SpotlightThe film, Article 20, directed by Zhang Yim

27、ou, draws its name from Article 20 of the Criminal Law, which focuses on the sometimes controversial legal concept of justifiable defense. Drawing inspiration from real-life cases of justifiable defense, the film gained widespread attention and struck a chord with the public during the Spring Festiv

28、al holiday. The movie calls for a detailed interpretation of legal terms and urges against compromising on unlawful conduct. According to the Criminal Law, when a person, faced with an unlawful attack, takes action to protect his or her own rights or interests or those of others, and the attacker is

29、 thereby harmed, the defender will be considered to have acted in justifiable defense and will not bear criminal responsibility. For some time, justifiable defense has been regarded as a “dormant clause （沉寂条款）， due to the influence of misconceptions, such as “whoever is injured or killed is right. B

30、ut the true meaning of the law should be to increase the responsibility for wrongdoers, rather than burdening good people. Recent cases have shown that, for ordinary citizens, justifiable defense is no longer a pipe dream. A high-profile case in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, in 2018 served as a wake-up

31、 call and caught the attention of authorities regarding such cases. In that case, a traffic argument led to a motorist who took a knife with him confronting another man. The motorist was killed, and police and judges determined that the defenders actions constituted justifiable defense. Since then,

32、the justifiable defense clause has been applied in several places across the nation. The concern over justifiable defense reflects the publics demand for fairness, justice, security and rule of law. Luo Xiang, a renowned professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law, sai

33、d in a recent comment about the film Article 20 that the public and judges should avoid taking a “godlike perspective.

34、der, Luo said. 28. Why did the film Article 20 attract the audiences attention?A. It was released during the Spring Festival holiday. B. It is named after one article in the Criminal Law. C.

37、acker. DResearchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is eating its host galaxy to death. The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope （JWST） to detect the black hole, which

38、dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature. This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes f

39、orm and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be born big or they can eat matter at a rate thats five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to

40、 fuel its growth. According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to

41、its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected. The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume to

42、o much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black holes source of food. Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST

43、makes this the most exciting time in his career. Its a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileos telescope to a modern telescope overnight, he said. The universe has been quite generous in what its showing us, and this is just the beginning. 32. What does the underlined word devours me

44、an in Paragraph 3?A. Changes. B. Swallows. C. Observes. D. Forms. 33. According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed?A. Because the host galaxy is too small. B. Because the black hole is killing itself. C. Because the wind ceases star formation. D. Because black holes produce too much g

45、as. 34. What is Maiolinos attitude to the new discovery about the black hole?A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous. 35. What can we learn from this passage?A. The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size. B. Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight. C. The n

46、ew discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward. D. The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the wind. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Failed New Years Resolution: Three Tips to Get on TrackJanuary is officially over, and many people are
