blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25%nickel.In general,trees and heavy metals like nickel dont really go well together.But Pycnandra acuminata make them live together.And thats what makes Pycnandra公众号：卷洞洞acuminata so special.It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals fromthe soil and store them in its trunk,leaves and seeds.The evolution of Pycnandra acuminata is believed to have occurred overmillions of years,but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle ofnickel intake and storage.The reason why such trees have formed the way ofabsorbing metals is also up for debate.The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects suchtrees from leaf-chewing insects.And studies have shown that nickel accumulatedby these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a hightolerance to it.Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria,which protects the trees from various diseases.However,these theories are alljust theories.One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acuminata to cleanthe soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity.Theres also clearpotential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils thatwill bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining.People can collectminerals contained in such soils from the blue-green trees.Unfortunately,Pycnandra acuminata is recently in a bad situation.Humanactivity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger.Consequently,probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind haveremained as a result of the reduction of our forests.28.What do we know about Pycnandra acuminata?A.It has a blue-green color due to metals collected.B.It tends to grow in the soil with much poisonous liquid.C.It sucks out a great deal of poisonous underground water.D.It is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground.29.What do the theories in paragraph 4 say about Pycnandra acuminata?A.It indeed protects many insects.B.It stores most nickel in its roots.C.It makes its surrounding plants suffer from diseases.D.It protects itself through the concentration of nickel.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 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?公众号：卷洞洞A.Bacteria and disease.B.Man and nature.C.Fashion and

low-cast student-designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access tospace for scientists and hobbyists alike.Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developingthe SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years.The small 333cm cube weighs inat just 35g and a longer(339cm,100g)model has also been designed,whichincludes storage space.Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication,data collection andpropulsion(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 panelsare cut from scrap(碎片),which makes it save energy,sold at a discount bymanufacturers.“With a spacecraft of this size,any university can do it,”saysThanga.“Thats part of our major goalspace discovery for everybody.”The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually costbetween US$60,000-70,000 per kilo,it would only cost$1,000 to send a SunCubeFemtoSat to the International Space Station,and$3,000 to send it into low earthorbit.Leaving the earths gravity would cost an estimated$27,000.The FemtoSat would be packed with a“jack in the box”style system thatmatches standard CubeSat sizes(around 10 cubic cm),simplifying the process ofgetting the tiny satellite into orbit.NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space overthe last few years,with another 50 awaiting launch.Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists andstudents,and even hope the device could be bought on the website likeAmazononeday.Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device,includinghands-on testing experiences for students,and artificial gravity experiments.Inaddition,groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job oflarger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.32.What is the major goal of the SunCube FemtoSat project?A.To act on teaching in outer space.B.To provide access to spacecraft design.C.To help average individuals explore space.D.To help carry out a classroom experiment.33.What is special about SunCube FemtoSats?公众号：卷洞洞A.They are energy-efficient.B.They are of the same size.C.They are mainly designed for lab use.D.They are mainly used to collect information.34.What does Thanga expect of SunCube FemtoSats?A.Theyll be provided for free.B.Theyll be available online one day.C.Theyll match the size of CubeSats.D.Theyll be sent into space with CubeSats.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.FemtoSats Will Rule SpaceB.Your Own Satellite Is ComingC.Going into Space Has Been AffordableD.You Can Design Your Own
