第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每题2分,满分50分)
第一节:阅读下列材料,从每题所给旳四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.
Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones.
Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.
Another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many stellar mass black holes in Earth's galaxy. Earth's galaxy is called the Milky Way.
The largest black holes are called “supermassive”(超大质量黑洞). These black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.
Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.
A black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole.
When a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. This kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. Scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.
41.The gravity of a black hole may become so strong that light cannot get out when________.
A.the star is going to die
ﻩB.special tools are used on it
C.other stars come close to it
D.it is seen from the space telescopes
42.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?
A.A black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy.
ﻩB.The gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center.
ﻩC.Scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes.
ﻩD.Some small black holes came into being as early as the universe.
43.Which can be inferred from the passage?
ﻩA.Every galaxy must have a black hole.
ﻩB.A galaxy is the center of the universe.
C.A galaxy consists of a large group of stars and planets.
D.Earth's galaxy is called the Milky Way.
44.What does the last sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?
ﻩA.Neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole.
B.There is only one supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
ﻩC.The supermassive black hole had existed before the Milky Way was formed.
ﻩD.There is a reason why the large black holes are called “supermassive”.
45.The last two paragraphs mainly focus on the question of________.
ﻩA.what a black hole is
B.how black holes form
ﻩC.how big black holes are
ﻩD.how scientists know about black holes
B
As for old people,some of the applications are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them.They don't have simple models of how they should work,what to do when something doesn't work or where to go for help.We make it as easy as possible to be used for people who are not familiar with the technology.
I think there is huge potential(潜力) and we are designing it.The ability to connect to friends,who remember the same movies and news and music,is really important,especially as people get old.They end up in retirement homes and they aren't always close to their friends.Allowing the network to help them connect with friends and family is a really powerful thing.
My mother is an enthusiastic user of the Internet,although it took me years to get her to use e-mail.She was born with normal hearing,but lost it when she was 3.She was totally deaf for many years,until age 53,when she got ear aids.They work really well.That is a big change for her.But before then,her friends couldn't call her on the phone,so they insisted (坚持) she use e-mail to communicate with them.
Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology.It's just there,and they use it.There's been a very interesting change in communications styles between old people and young people.There are some kids who are now in their teens and aren't willing to make phone calls.And they think of e-mail as old-fashioned and slow.
The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don' t know what to say.When they call they often stop for a while.They don't know what to say,and there's this silence.On the other hand,texting is considered proper,and it's okay if you don't answer.You might have been distracted (心烦意乱旳).It's not considered rude.But it is considered strange if you're in this kind of voice conversation and simply stop talking.
46.What is the trouble that old people meet when surfing the Internet?
A.They don't know how to use some applications.
ﻩB.They have to buy electronic productions at a high price.
ﻩC.There is no professional teacher to teach them how to use the Internet.
D.They have no friends to communicate with online.
47.We can infer from the passage that the author is a ________.
ﻩA.company manager
B.program designer
ﻩC.college professor
D.mobile phone designer
48.What do the young people think of the Internet according to the passage?
A.Interesting. B.Amazing.
C.Common. D.Boring.
49.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Teens face challenges when taking phone calls with the old.
ﻩB.The author's mother is still using e-mail to communicate with others after getting ear aids.
C.Most people consider e-mail as the most old-fashioned tool to communicate with others.
ﻩD.Teens like to send texts to communicate with others in order to avoid embarrassment.
C
Life is to be enjoyed.There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better.When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:
YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep.Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!
YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your__skin__glows more and wrinkle less.You look younger and more attractive.In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly.Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier.This is why smokers look years older than they really are.
YOUR GENES change.In May, a study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.
YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer.Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live.As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.
Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives.The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them.The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed.On the con
