The Mystery of Dark Matter (暗物质)
Astronomers have long known that the visible matter in the universe cannot account for all of the gravitational forces that are holding galaxies together. There simply isn't enough mass in stars, gas, and dust to explain why galaxies aren't flying apart. The solution to this problem is to postulate (假定) the existence of dark matter, a hypothetical (假定的) substance that can't be seen but whose presence can be inferred from its gravitational effects.
作业2 主题拓展作业
13
There are several candidate particles (粒子) that might make up dark matter. One of the most popular is the WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle). WIMPs are predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, and they would interact with normal matter only via the weak force and gravity.
A number of experiments have been carried out in an attempt to detect WIMPs, but so far none have succeeded. However, new experiments are being developed that will be much more sensitive to the presence of WIMPs.
作业2 主题拓展作业
14
Although the evidence for dark matter is very strong, there is still much that we don't know about it. For example, we don't know what dark matter is made of, how much of it there is, or whether it interacts with itself in any way other than through gravity.
Despite these uncertainties, the concept of dark matter is very useful for explaining the properties (性质) of the universe on a large scale. In fact, it has become an essential part of our understanding of how the universe evolved.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是暗物质以及对于暗物质的研究。

(2024·重庆市主城四区高一下期末)Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a teenager named Maya. Maya had a dream—to become an astronaut and explore the space. However, many doubted her dream, considering them unrealistic for someone from their common background.

31
At school, Maya had to put up with classmates who made fun of her because they thought her dreams were too big and impossible. They laughed at her for spending hours studying astronomy instead of engaging in more “realistic” activities. She faced doubts not only from her classmates but also from some members of her own family. They questioned her choices, pushing her to choose a more traditional job that would provide a good income and a better future.

32
Maya, not discouraged by the doubts, worked hard in her studies. She ate books on astronomy, attended science camps, and found help from teachers. Maya's love for space grew stronger with each passing day, fueling her determination to overcome any difficulties in her path.
As Maya approached her final year of high school, an opportunity arose—a wellknown scholarship that offered a chance to study astrophysics at a famous university. Maya knew that this could be her ticket to achieving her dreams.

The scholarship selection process was strict, testing the related knowledge, skills, and talent. Maya poured countless hours into preparation, broadening her mind and improving her skills. When the day of the scholarship interview arrived, Maya faced a group of respected professors and experts in the field. Nervously, she answered their questions and shared her love for space exploration. Although the interview was challenging, Maya refused to let selfdoubt consume her. Weeks turned into months as Maya awaited the scholarship results. Doubts and anxieties plagued (困扰) her mind, but she reminded herself of the importance of being strong.

Finally, the day of the scholarship announcement arrived. Maya's heart raced as the names were called out, but hers was not among them. The disappointment was evident, and for a moment, the weight of her dreams seemed to press down on her. However, Maya quickly reminded herself of all the challenges she had already overcome. She had faced doubts from classmates and family, yet she had persevered, pouring her heart into her studies and passion for astronomy. This setback was just another hurdle, not the end of her journey.

With firm determination, Maya looked for other paths. She decided to apply to other universities known for their strong astrophysics programs. Maya also reached out to mentors and professionals in the field, seeking advice and guidance. Her determination was unwavering, and she began to explore grants, fellowships, and parttime positions that could help fund her education. Each rejection only fueled her resolve to succeed, and she continued to pursue her passion with renewed vigor.
