Autumn caught on quickly, likely because it replaced the 61(origin) nameharvest”. As you might imagine, whencro
7、ps were collected from the fields, calling the season harvest might make people 62 (confuse) because harvest is also the name for the act 63(it).So autumn appeared instead of harvest”.

36、. The liquid circulated in its body is blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25 % nickel.In general, trees and heavy metals like nickel don,t really go well together.

37、ous levels of heavy metals from the soil and store them in its trunk, leaves and seedso .The evolution of Pycnandra acuminata is believed to have occurred over millions of years, but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage. The reason why such trees have fo
38、rmed the way of absorbing metals is also up for debate.The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf-chewing insects. And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to
39、 it. Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria, which protects the trees from various diseases. However, these theories are all just theories.One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acuminata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity. T
40、here,s also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining.

41、. Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger.

42、 collected.B It is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground.C. It sucks out a great deal of poisonous underground water.D.

43、 It stores most nickel in its roots.E. It protects itself through the concentration of nickel.F. It makes its surrounding plants suffer from diseases.30. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph?A. Pycnandra acuminata is in danger.B. Forests are to blame for the reduction of
44、 trees.C. Forests are decreasing as a result of human activity.D. Pycnandra acuminata is under the protection of people.31. In which section of a magazine is this text most likely to appear?A. Bacteria and disease.B. Health and life.C. Fashion and entertainment.D. Man and nature.DFancy your own sate
45、llite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project. Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cast student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and
46、a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 3 x 3 x 3cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer (3 x 3 x 9cm, 100g) model has also been designed, which includes storage space.Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propu
47、lsion (推 进)systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap (碎片), which makes it save energy, sold at a discount by manufacturers. With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it, says Thanga. Thats part of our major goalspacediscovery for everybody.The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $60,000-70, 000 per kilo, it would only cost $ 1, 000 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and $ 3, 000 to send it into
