Black Holes

Most scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate.A black hole in the universe is not a solid object,like a planet,but it is shaped like a sphere (球體).Astronomers(天文學家)think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite(無限的)density(稠密).This single point is called a singularity (奇點).If the singularity theory is correct,it means that when a massive star collapses,all the material in it disappears into the singularity.The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all,but an infinitely dense point.Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.

Although black holes do exist,they are difficult to observe.These are the reasons.

● No light or anything else comes 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 across.

● The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth.One light year is about 6 trillion(萬億)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 exist.There are still answers to be found,however,so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.

16.Black holes are part of space.

A.RightB.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

17.Black holes exist but are difficult to observe.

20.The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.

21.The nearest black holes are hundreds of light years away from us.

Memory Test

1“I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,”promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his hand down on the table.“When I’ve finished in two hours’ time,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now.”The entire room sat still.

2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔術師).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and then he  reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (騙術).“I have always  been interested in tricks involving  memory-being able to reel off (一口氣 說出) the order of cards in a pack,that sort of thing,”he  explains.

3Robinson was already  lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable.“It wasn’t difficult area to move inot,as the stuff’s all there in books.”So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.

4“You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,”says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant.“I wish I’d  been told this earlier,”commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct“mental journeys”.

5Essentially,you visualize (想象) a walk down a street,or a trip round a room,and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.

6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic.“The pupils benefited enormously from lan’s presentation,”says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking.“l(fā)deally we should run a regular class in  memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”

第4部分：閱讀理解（第31~45題，每題3分，共45分）

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個最佳選項。

第一篇Renewable Energy Sources

Today petroleum(石油)provides around 40% of the world’s energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles.Coal is still used,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our energy needs,but it is the least efficient,unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel(礦物燃料).Natural gas reserves could fill some of the gap from oil,but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either.Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years.Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution.“Renewable”refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced.

Hydroelectric(水力發(fā)電的)power is now the most common form of renewable energy,supplying around 20% of world electricity.China’s Three Gorges Dam is the largest ever.At five times the size of the US’s Hoover Dam,its 26 turbines(渦輪機)will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations.It will satisfy 3% of China’s entire electricity demand.

In 2003,the first commercial power station to use tidal(潮汐的)currents in the open sea opened in Norway.It is designed like windmill(風車),but others take the form of turbines.

As prices fall,wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation-quadrupling(翻兩番)worldwide between 1999 and 2005.Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity.Though it will be more expensive,there is more than enough wind to provide the world’s entire energy needs.Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms.They can often end up at spots of natural beauty,and are often unpopular with residents.And turbines are not totally harmless-they can interfere with radar,alter climate and kill sea birds.Scotland is building Europe’s largest wind farm,which will power 200,000 homes.The UK’s goal is to generate one-fifth of power from renewable sources,mainly wind,by 2020.But this may cause problems,because wind is unreliable.

31.According to the passage,which of the following is the most polluting energy resource?

A.Petroleum.B.Coal.

C.Natural gasD.Water.
