A black hole in the univers

7、e is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere (球體 ). Astronomers(天文學(xué)家 ) think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite(無(wú)限的 )density( 稠密 ), This single point is called a singularity(奇點(diǎn) ). If the singularitytheory iscorrect, it means th

8、at when a massive star collapses, all the material in itdisappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely densepoint. Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.Although black holes do exist, they are difficul

9、t to observe. These are the reasons.·No light or anything *es out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope.·In astronomical terms, black holes are truly.For example, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon( 視界 ) only 18 miles ac

10、ross.·The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillion (萬(wàn)億 ) miles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes ex

15、s each way between the Arctic and Baja, California. The grey whales spend the long summer days in their Arctic feeding grounds in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia. Unlike a fish,the whale is warm-blooded and must therefore maintain a relatively high internal body temperature. In the cold Arc

16、tic waters the grey whale is protected by an outer layer of blubber which averages six inches in thickness. Other whales such as the Greenland Night whale have been found with a two-foot thick layer of blubber covering their bodies.2. During these summer months, in the Arctic the grey whales fatten

17、themselves byconsumingenormousquantitiesofsmallshrimp-likeanimalscalledamphipods.Recent observations of a young grey whale, Gigi , held in captivity at Sea World in San Diego during 1971 and 1972, suggest that the grey whale feeds by sweeping its enormous head over the bottom. The amphipods on which

18、 it feeds are either stirred off the bottom or leap off the bottom to escape.These animals and the surrounding water are sucked intothe whale's mouth. As the water is expelled from the mouth, it passes through coarse baleen fibres. The small animals are trapped and swallowed.3. In October as the

19、 days get shorter and ice begins to form over the Arctic feeding grounds, the California grey whale begins its long journey south to the warm waters of Baja, California. During this three-month long trip the whales travelling in groups stay close to the shore of North America, swimming both day and

20、night and averaging abut 100 miles per day.4During the trip south the grey whales that are sexually mature, at least three years old, and not pregnant already, form mating groups. These groups *posed of three whales, two males and afemale. Thedominantmale couples withthe female whilethe second male

21、iskept busy positioning the two whales on their sides facing each other and keeping them together during the sex act. This is no small job, since each whale can be fifty feet long and weigh forty tons.5. During December and January the grey whales arrive at the warm lagoons along the coastof Baja, C

22、alifornia. The whales swim miles inland along narrow shallow channels. These channels are the breeding grounds of the California grey whale. The calf has been gestating in the pregnantfemale for the last thirteen months, that is, since her last journey south. The expectant cow is aided in the birth

23、of the calf by another female that acts as a midwife. At birth the calf sinks toward the sea floor. Being a mammal the whale must breathe at the surface. The midwife guides the baby whale to the surface for its first gulp of air. The calf then finds its mother's nipples and rich whalemilkis forc

24、ed into its mouth. Duringthe next two months the calf willgrow twentyfeet anddouble its weight.6. In March the whales begin their long journey north to the Arctic.The newly-pregnant females leave first,followingby the males and immature females. The last to leave the warm waters of Baja are the fema

25、les and their calves. The whales arrive at their Arctic feeding ground in June. Many scientists believe that during this entire eightmonth long, 14,000 mile journey,the California grey whale does not feed at all!27. Paragraph 3 28. Paragraph 4 29. Paragraph 5 30. Paragraph 6 A.

28、心引力 ). This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it.But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be *e if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all.Take the throwing of a hall as an example. The harder the ba

29、ll is thrown, the faster and higherit will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and *e down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known asescape speed. Of course, we cannot throwa ball hard enough because the s

30、peed required to*pletely from the Earth's gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour.Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft( 宇宙飛船 ),no furtherpowerisneeded. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will "coast"(滑行 ) the rest of the way b

31、e cause the Earth's gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance(阻力 ) in space to slow it down. This "coasting" is known as "free fall".That does not mean the rocket is fallingdown towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid

32、of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill.Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time.35. What is the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth?A. To travel as fast as it can.B. To *e the Ear

33、th gravity.C. To get away from the air resistance.D. To have strong power in its operation.36. How fast will a rocket go to *pletely from the Earth's gravity?A. Seventy miles per second.B. Seven thousand miles per hour.C. Twenty-five thousand miles per second.D. Twenty-five thousand miles per ho

34、ur.37. As there is always the Earth's gravitational( 地心引力的 )pull, people.A. accept it without questioning itB. never notice its presenceC. hardly think about how to use itD. often try to escape from it38. When a bicycle "coasts" downhill, it.A. runs along the hillsideB. does not need a

35、ny further powerC. runs freely to all directionsD. does not meet with air resistance39. Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time?A. Few *plete their flight operations.B. The Earth's gravity cannot be *e.C. No future power is needed after the escape speed is reached

36、.D. "Free fall" takes the place of the Earth's gravity pull.第二篇Across the English ChannelTo swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as only as you're not hel

37、dup at the airport), but it's an expensive wayto travel. You can travel by hovercraft ifyou don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you dreams of being able to drive toFrance in his own car. "Not possible",you say. Well wait aminute. Peo

38、ple are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.This time, the GreaterLondon Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a t

39、unnel would provide a rail link only.Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need forlinks withEurope as a result of joiningthe EEC (歐共體 )? Well,perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London&#

40、39;s disuseddockland( 船塢地 ). A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使 重新具有活力 )the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. Witha linkover the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were

41、 still warm!40. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B. The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.C. It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.D. A tunnel or bridge would only re

42、ach as far as the coast.41. A tunnel would be.A. less expensive to be built than a bridgeB. more expensive to be built than a bridgeC. less expensive to be built than a railD. more expensive to be built than a rail42. If they built a Channel tunnel, you would.A. neither take a train nor go by carB.

43、either take a train or go by carC. only take a trainD. only take a bus43. It can be concluded that many of London's dockyards are.A. not usedB. fully usedC. seriously blockedD. opened again44. Channel link would.A. allow us to by fish and chips in FranceB. make the journey from Europe to England

44、 dangerous but easier and fasterC. decrease more trade for London's dockyardsD. make London more prosperous again第三篇Problems of the ElderlyGerontologists ( 老年人問(wèn)題學(xué)者 ) study how old people are treated within a society and how the elderlydeal with the inevitableproblems of aging, particularlythose

45、involvinghealth and income.Healthproblems includenormallosses inhearing, eyesight, and memory,and the increased possibility of chronic( 慢性的 )diseases. These losses are gradual and proceed at different rates for each individual. In general, the health of old people today is better than that of earlie

46、rgeneration-a condition that is likely to improve still further as more people receive better medical care throught their lives.Because most old people are no longer in the labor force, a steady source ofincome isnecessary. Systems of pensions and benefits are characteristic of industrial societies.

47、 One example is Social Security in the U. S. , which is now increased automatically as the cost of living rises,thus reducing somewhat the effect of inflation.Although the income of retired people is about half that of working people, most manage to remain financially independent.Income needs and he

48、alth are what people consider most when they decide whether to re-tire or not. Putting an end to the limit on the retirement age is not expected to cause many workers to stay on the job if they can afford to retire. The need to relieve strains on the Social Security System, however, has led to legis

49、lation that gradually raises the age at which people can get full benefits.This might force them to work longer in the future.Elderlypeople themselves often display high spirits,satisfaction with life,and feelings of self-worth. The important factors are health and income. The task of modern societi

50、es is to ensure that the aged have their basic needs met and that they can continue to function in *munity.45. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT a problem of aging? AGradual loss of hearing.BGradual loss of courage.CGradual loss of sight.D Gradual loss of memory.46. Soi

51、cal Security in the U.S. is increased. A before inflation occursB automatically as the living cost risesC automatically as the living cost drops D at the request of retired people47. The expression "if they can afford to retire" in paragraph 4 probably means.A. "if they are willing to

52、 retire"B. "if they can well support themselves after retirement" C "if they are forced to retire"D "if they are permitted not to retire48. The most important factors that one has to consider in making the decision to retire are. A health and incomeB social benefitsC fe

53、elings of self-worthD inflation and the cost of living49. According to the iast paragraph, which of the following is NOT true of elderly people? A They often show high spirits.B They often display satisfaction with life.C They feel sad and lonely.D They often display feelings of self-worth.第 5 部分：補(bǔ)全

54、短文Conservation or Wasted Effort?The black robin ( 旅鶇 ) is one of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten.(46).Energeti

55、c steps are being taken to preserve the black robin.(47)The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a "reserve", for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that LittleMangere should then be restocked (重新準(zhǔn)備 ) withthe robin's food. Thousands of t

56、he required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand.Is all this concern a waste of human effort?(48)Are we losing our sense ofwhat is reasonable and what is unreasonable?In the earth's long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of-success and die

57、d out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time.(49)This is nature's proven method of operation.The rule of selection-"thesurvival of the fittest"-isthe one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creature
