2、een light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatts（兆瓦）of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016. But some major challenges will have to be overcome if the technology is to be used widely.A start-up company called Solaren is design

3、ing the satellites, which it says will use radio waves to beam energy down to a receiving station on Earth.The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in geosynchronous（與地球同步的）orbit. Earth-based solar cells, by contrast, can only collect sunlight

21、illion years ago, and that soon after that event, matter began to form as small dust grains and gases. How the first stars formed from this dust and gas has been a burning question for years, but a state-of-the-art computer simulation now offers the most detailed picture yet of how these first stars

22、 in the universe came into existence.The composition of the early universe was quite different from that of today, and the physics that governed the early universe were also somewhat simpler. Dr. Naoki Yoshida and colleagues in Japan and the U. S. incorporated these conditions of the early universe,

23、 sometimes referred to as the “cosmic dark ages,” to simulate the formation of an astronomical object that would eventually shine its light into this darkness.The result is a detailed description of the formation of a protostar（原恒星） the early stage of a massive primordial（原始的）star of our universe an

24、d the researchers computer simulation sets the bar for further investigation into the star formation process. The question of how the first stars evolved is so important because their formations and eventual explosions provided the seeds for subsequent stars to come into being.According to their sim

25、ulation, gravity acted on minute density variations in matter, gases, and the mysterious “dark matter” of the universe after the Big Bang in order to form this early stage of a star a protostar with a mass of just one percent of our sun. The simulation reveals how pre-stellar（前恒星）gases would have ac

26、tually evolved under the simpler physics of the early universe to form this protostar. Dr. Yoshidas simulation also shows that the protostar would likely evolve into a massive star capable of synthesizing（合成）heavy elements, not just in later generations of stars, but soon after the Big Bang.Their si

27、mulation of the birth of a protostar in the early universe signifies a key step toward the ambitious goal of piecing together the formation of an entire primordial star and of predicting the mass and properties of these first stars of the universe. More powerful computers, more physical data, and an

28、 even larger range will be needed for further calculations and simulations, but these researchers hope to eventually extend this simulation to the point of nuclear reaction initiation when a stellar（星球的）object becomes a true star.宇宙中最初的星辰是如何產(chǎn)生的?研究人員認(rèn)為，我們的宇宙始于大約13億年前的宇宙大爆炸，而且在這之后，很快就開始形成小的塵埃顆粒和氣體。最初的

29、星辰是如何由塵埃和氣體組成的，多年來(lái)這一問(wèn)題一直困擾著人們。然而現(xiàn)在一種最先進(jìn)的電腦模擬系統(tǒng)可以提供宇宙中最初的星辰是如何產(chǎn)生的最詳細(xì)的圖片。 宇宙最初的構(gòu)成與今天有所不同，且宇宙早期的主要物理現(xiàn)象也比較簡(jiǎn)單。Naoki Yoshida博士同他在日本和美國(guó)的同事一起整合了宇宙早期的各種情況，這一時(shí)期有時(shí)也被稱為宇宙的黑暗時(shí)代，并模擬了最終在夜空中閃耀的天體的形成過(guò)程。 這一研究的結(jié)果是對(duì)原恒星（即宇宙中巨大的原始星辰的早期階段）的形成進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)描述，以及研究人員的電腦模擬系統(tǒng)為進(jìn)一步研究星體的形成過(guò)程奠定了基礎(chǔ)。宇宙中最初的星辰是如何形成的這一問(wèn)題非常重要，因?yàn)樗鼈兊男纬杉白罱K的爆炸為隨后星體

High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually perman

32、ent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.

33、 The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark（樹皮）and a holder for arrows.Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some peop

34、le thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I. since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might lie her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The sci

35、entists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousand years old.With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B.C, he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thoug

36、ht he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost cer

37、tainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.By studying his clothes and tools, scientists hav

38、e already learned a great deal from the Iceman a- bout the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.冰人1991年9月的一天，兩個(gè)德國(guó)人正在攀登位于奧地利和意大利之間的山脈，爬到一個(gè)山口，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具躺在冰上的尸體。在那個(gè)高度(10，499英尺或3，200米)，冰通常是常年不化的，但1991年是

39、特別溫暖的一年。山上的冰比往年融化得多，因此尸體才顯露出來(lái)。他面部朝下。除了頭上有傷之外，骨架狀況良好。骨頭上仍然保留著皮膚和殘余的衣物。手上握著一把斧頭的木柄，雙腳穿著簡(jiǎn)單的由皮革和布料做的靴子。旁邊還有一雙樹皮制成的手套和一個(gè)箭托。他是誰(shuí)?他是怎么死的?他是什么時(shí)候死的? 對(duì)這些問(wèn)題，每個(gè)人都有不同的回答。有人認(rèn)為他是本世紀(jì)一戰(zhàn)時(shí)期陣亡的士兵，因?yàn)檫@一區(qū)域已發(fā)現(xiàn)了好幾具士兵的尸體。一位瑞士婦女認(rèn)為那人是她父親，他二十多年前死于山中而且尸體從未被找到過(guò)。蜂擁而至查看這具尸體的科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為這一尸體的年代可能更久遠(yuǎn)，甚至有一千多年了。科學(xué)家們運(yùn)用最新的年代確定技術(shù)很快獲悉這一冰人已有大約5300

Chocolate has also been shown to release endorphins（內(nèi)啡肽）in the body: these chemicals help to reduce pain and stress and make you feel happy.But who first discovered this wo

43、nderful way of keeping healthy? The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in about 1500 B.C. and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened cocoa hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe. The word chocolate comes from the Nahuatl word xocolali, whic

44、h means “bitter water”.In 1544, a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal. The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their Cocoa drink. In the 17th century, chocolate was becoming fashionable with t

45、he middle-classes, not only as a drink but also as a medicine. By the middle of the century, solid chocolate was becoming familiar. In 1753, a Swedish scientist renamed cocoa theobroma or “food for the gods”. In 1765, James Baker and John Hanan opened the first chocolate mill in the United States, i

46、ntroducing chocolate to the average citizen. In 1876, in Switzerland, Daniel Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate. Making process and produced the first milk chocolate.Since then, chocolate has grown enormously in popularity. One of the biggest chocolate-eating nations is Britain where

47、 the average man, woman, and child eats nine kilos of chocolate a year! In fact, chocolate is the number one comfort food and there are more “chocoholics” in Britain than anywhere else in the world. Researchers warn that although chocolate is good for you, it should be eaten in small quantities and

48、with no added milk.科學(xué)家的甜蜜發(fā)現(xiàn)巧克力迷們的好消息：據(jù)加州大學(xué)的研究者稱深受全世界成千上萬(wàn)人喜愛的巧克力對(duì)健康很有好處，因?yàn)榍煽肆χ泻幸环N叫作類黃酮的物質(zhì)，它能維護(hù)心臟健康并促進(jìn)血液循環(huán)。研究者們還發(fā)現(xiàn)可可就像阿司匹林一樣，而且偶爾吃一塊巧克力有利于健康飲食。巧克力會(huì)在體內(nèi)釋放內(nèi)啡肽，這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)可以有效緩解疼痛和壓力，讓你感到愉快。但是，是誰(shuí)第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)了這種保持健康的美妙方式？大約公元前1500年，居住在墨西哥和中美洲的奧爾梅克人首次開始種植可可豆；而且在可可風(fēng)靡歐洲之前，瑪雅人已經(jīng)飲用無(wú)糖可可好幾百年了。Chocolate這個(gè)詞來(lái)自納瓦特爾語(yǔ)xocolali，意思是

49、“苦水”。1544年，一個(gè)瑪雅貴族代表團(tuán)覲見西班牙國(guó)王菲利普時(shí)送給他一罐可可作為禮物。很快，可可便在西班牙和葡萄牙流行起來(lái)，西班牙人最早在他們的可可飲料里加糖。在17世紀(jì)，巧克力不僅作為一種飲料、還作為一種藥流行于中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。到了世紀(jì)中葉，固體可可開始為人們所熟知。1753年，一位瑞典科學(xué)家將可可改名為obroma或“神明之糧”。1765年，James Baker和John Hanan在美國(guó)開辦了第一個(gè)巧克力作坊，將巧克力介紹給了普通人。1896年，瑞士的Daniel Peter想出了在巧克力制作過(guò)程中加入牛奶的點(diǎn)子，并生產(chǎn)出了第一塊牛奶巧克力。 從此，巧克力越來(lái)越受人們歡迎。巧克力的最大消費(fèi)國(guó)

50、之一是英國(guó)。那里的普通人，不論男女還是孩子每年都要吃9公斤的巧克力。實(shí)際上，巧克力是頂級(jí)的撫慰食品，并且英國(guó)是全世界巧克力迷最多的國(guó)家。研究者們警告，雖然巧克力對(duì)我們有好處，但應(yīng)該少量食用而且不應(yīng)另加牛奶。第5部分：補(bǔ)全短文I Know Just How You FeelDo you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings ca

51、n be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emotions into six types anger

52、, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. _ (46) Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwins small group. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worl

53、dwide. _ (47) The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism（孤獨(dú)癥）, who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors an

54、d teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an “emotion”. _ (48) Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced to 412, from “afraid” to “wanting”.Once the

55、se emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds. _ (49) The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but

56、 we instantly recognize one when we see it on someones face. “It was really clear when the actors had got it right,” says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD“Although they were given some direction,” says Ms Collis, “the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. _ (50) For example,

57、when someone feels contempt, you cant say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called “actio

58、n units”. These can be combined into more than 10,000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.我知道你是如何想的你感到悲傷嗎?還是幸福?或者憤怒?也許你認(rèn)為自己表現(xiàn)這些感情的方式是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的。好，再想想。根據(jù)一個(gè)“閱讀思維”儀器即可以展示各種可能的人類情感的DVD，就算是最私密的感情也可以被歸類。它展示了412種感覺的不同方式：是第一部人類內(nèi)心的可視詞典。對(duì)情感進(jìn)

59、行歸類的嘗試始于19世紀(jì)中葉，那時(shí)達(dá)爾文將情緒分為6種類型-憤怒、恐懼、悲傷、厭惡、驚喜和愉悅。他說(shuō)這些感覺的表情是普遍的，是能夠被任何人、任何文化所認(rèn)知的。所有其它的感覺都源于達(dá)爾文確定的這幾種類型。更為復(fù)雜的情感表達(dá)或許是后天習(xí)得的，因此它在不同的文化中具有自己的特色。但是更多的面部表情被認(rèn)為是世界人們所共享的。我們?cè)囍γ枋龈鞣N情緒，但是為此制定一個(gè)清晰的規(guī)則幾乎是不可能的。“閱讀思維”DVD是對(duì)這些表情的系統(tǒng)的視覺收錄。這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃的構(gòu)想來(lái)自于劍橋大學(xué)的一位教授，旨在幫助患孤獨(dú)癥的人，他們?cè)陂喿x和情感表達(dá)方面都有困難。但是很快這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃顯示出更廣泛的用途。比如，演員和教師需要了解各種各樣

60、的表情。這位教授同他的研究團(tuán)隊(duì)首先給“情緒”下了定義。他們將其定義為：情緒是一種發(fā)生在“我覺得”或“他看起來(lái)”或“她聽起來(lái)”之后的思想狀態(tài)。利用這個(gè)定義，他們對(duì)1512種情緒進(jìn)行了界定和討論。最終列表上的情緒減少到412種，從“害怕”到“渴望”。 一旦這些情緒被定義和歸類，DVD就成為了最清楚最有效的展現(xiàn)情緒的方式。在“閱讀思維”里，每個(gè)表情都由6個(gè)不同的演員在三秒內(nèi)表演出來(lái)。任何其他表現(xiàn)這412種表情的方式，例如說(shuō)話，都遠(yuǎn)不如這樣有效。原因很簡(jiǎn)單：我們很難用語(yǔ)言來(lái)形容情緒，但是當(dāng)它們出現(xiàn)在一個(gè)人的臉上時(shí)我們會(huì)立刻辨認(rèn)出來(lái)?！爱?dāng)演員們表演準(zhǔn)確時(shí)表情就特別明顯”，這部DVD的導(dǎo)演Cathy Co
