e know that Albert Einstein made all his worldshaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.” 人們發(fā)現(xiàn),16歲以后,我們的腦細(xì)胞數(shù)量開始以每年幾百萬的速度減少。在某些類型的活動(dòng)中,人類的大腦在20歲早期處于巔峰狀態(tài),... 我們知道阿爾伯特愛因斯坦在20到25歲之間做出了所有震驚世界的發(fā)現(xiàn)。用余生來整理和安排這些發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)對愛因斯坦所的發(fā)現(xiàn)可知,他的偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在2025歲之間,更是印證了人類大腦在20年代初達(dá)到了巔峰,可推斷出,本段主要研究人類大腦巔峰期,故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段“But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他類型的活動(dòng)中(作家可能是其中一種),經(jīng)驗(yàn)比頭腦的敏捷更重要,人們通常會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)人在他一生的晚期才達(dá)到頂峰??赏茢喑鲇行┤嗽谕砟耆〉贸晒κ且?yàn)樗麄兊墓ぷ髦型枰芏嘟?jīng)驗(yàn)。故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom....

The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space. Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage. Various panies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into lowEarth orbit, already the most crowded area. The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a pany and researchers led by the U. K.39。s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbusowned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France39。s ArianeGroup. Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long. The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the ing months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week39。s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against over publicizing it. There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects. Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks. Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.(1)What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?
