Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·河南四市高三质量检测)For many years,humans have looked up at the collection of stars and planets shining in the night sky that make up the Galaxy(银河系).However,the Galaxy is now being observed for the first time in a new way.They have produced an image of the Galaxy not based on light.Instead,the image is based on neutrinos(中微子).
Scientists discovered the highenergy neutrinos in ice deep below Antarctica's surface over a period of 10 years at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory,a research station at the South Pole.They then tracked their source back to locations in the Galaxy.It is the first time that these small pieces of matter have been observed arising from the Galaxy.This observation of the Galaxy is different from what can be seen with our own eyes,or even instruments that measure other electronic(电磁能的) sources.The image does not contain stars or planets or other things observable because of their light.Rather they are observable because of the neutrinos originating in the Galaxy.
“This observation is groundbreaking.It established the Galaxy as a neutrino source.Every future work will refer to this observation,” said Taboada,the spokesperson for the Ice Cube research.
Neutrinos are electrically neutral created in nuclear processes.They are not affected by even the strongest magnetic field and rarely interact with matter.As neutrinos travel through space,they pass nuclear through everything: matter like stars,planets,and even people,just as light goes without stopping through glass.Neutrinos are elementary units,meaning they are not made up of anything smaller.
Many parts of the universe are impossible to observe using light alone.The ability to use neutrinos in astronomy makes for a more complete examination.The direction from which neutrinos arrive points directly to their original source,so the researchers used machine learning to help determine which neutrinos originated in the Galaxy and which originated elsewhere.But how the neutrinos originated is up for debate.This is now the key question.
1.How were neutrinos found?
A.By observing the Galaxy.
B.By examining nuclear processes.
C.By studying ice at the South Pole.
D.By measuring electromagnetic sources.
2.Which of the following best describes the observation?
A.Pioneering. B.Changeable.
C.Predictable. D.Confusing.
3.What can we learn about neutrinos?
A.They can't be further divided.
B.It's clear how they originated now.
C.They will be disturbed by magnetic field.
D.The Galaxy is the final source of neutrinos.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Origin of Neutrinos
B.The Image of the Galaxy
C.A Secret Beneath the South Pole
D.A New Way to Look at the Galaxy
