We dont know how strong it is, how it works or how fast its effects move. But this year we made progr
25、ess.October saw the most accurate measurement yet of Newtons gravitational constant(引力常数 ), G, a measure of the strength of the gravitational interaction between two objects. A Swiss team calculated Gs value by measuring how the gravitational pull of two huge tanks of mercury affected the weights of
26、 test masses.However, there are discrepancies between measurements of G made in different labs. This year a highly contentious(有争议的) explanation for this was proposed. A group of string theorists proposed that gravity is subtly affected by magnetic fields, and that G should be larger near Earths pol
27、es where the magnetic field is stronger. Sure enough, this fits with the measurements so far. So Gs varying values might just be the first proof of the hidden dimensions predicted by string theory.Equally tantalising is possible evidence for the existence of gravitational waves, the ripples in space
28、-time supposedly caused by abrupt, violent cosmic events. An Italian team reported that two massive aluminium bars, one at CERN(欧洲粒子物理研究所) near Geneva, the other in Italy, had once vibrated in unison(一致)perhaps as a result of a passing gravitational wave, they suggest.The claims will be closely scru
29、tinised by gravity researchers in Washington state. They got to turn on a very expensive toy this year. LIGO, one of the biggest scientific instruments ever built. Its twin sets of intersecting 4-kilometre-long laser beams should be very sensitive to any waves. But so far the $400-million machine ha
30、s not seen anything.At least one gravitational mystery has (hopefully) been wrapped up this year. when you move something, how long before its new position will affect its gravitational pull on surrounding objects? In other words, what is the speed of gravity? Newton thought the effect instantaneous
31、, but Einstein said it could travel no faster than the speed of light.Astronomers have finally devised a way to test which one of them was right, based on the way gravity bends radio waves from a distant quasar(类星体). They finished the experiment in September. We dont yet know the answer but our mone
32、y is on Einstein.31 Why is gravitation considered to be a slippery beast?（A）Because it gives people so much trouble.（B） Because it is much stronger than expected.（C） Because no progress has been made about it.（D）Because it remains largely unknown to people.32 What kind of metal did the Swiss team us

The answer used to be raging hormones plus a dearth of(短缺) life experienc
37、es. But three years ago this simple equation was blown apart by evidence from brain scans of strange goings-on behind the teenage forehead.Till then, scientists had thought the brains internal structure was fixed by the end of childhood. The new scans showed the brains frontal cortex(皮层) thickening
38、just before puberty(青春期), then slowly shrinking back to normal during the teenage years. Suddenly, the erratic huffiness(发怒) seemed to make sense: the teenage brain was a work in progress, a house in the process of being rewired.Now comes more evidence of neural turmoil. According to psychologists i
39、n California, the speed with which youngsters can read the emotional expressions on peoples faces dips suddenly at around the age of 11 or 12 and takes years to get back on track.The latest study, like the brain scan research before it, is a welcome and necessary part of building up a picture of a t
40、ypical teenage brain so that scientists can get a better handle on what might be happening in the mental illnesses that appear to be afflicting children and adolescents in ever greater numbers. But there are dangers.Scientists still have no idea how to interpret the subtle changes seen in adolescent
41、 brain scans. Yet in the wrong hands, these findings could be used to justify hothousing, impulse control training and other dubious attempts to get the most out of malleable teenage brain cells. The science could also spark a new wave of moralising based on a perceived need to protect teenagers evo
42、lving brain connections from evil or toxic influences.Incredibly, some scientists have already suggested in the press that the brain scan evidence somehow proves that it is biologically bad for teenagers to play video games or lie on the couch watching MTV. A hundred years, ago one well-known “exper
43、t“ urged teenage boys to drink six to eight glasses of hot water a day to flush impure thoughts from their bodies.

45、a house（C） teenage brain is working in progress like a house being rewired（D）teenager tend not to get erratic huffiness if the house ,is rewired39 From the passage we can learn that _.（A）the teenage brain is a kind of work in progress（B） the new brain scans support the conventional thought（C） the br
46、ains frontal cortex becomes bigger during the teenager years（D）at the age of 11 or 12 teenagers are unable to find out peoples true feelings40 The latest study is very helpful in that _.（A）it can take clearer pictures of teenagers brains（B） scientists will meet with fewer, dangers in their research
