Question

2．How many things can you see in the night sky？A lot!On a clear night you might see the Moon，some planets，and thousands of sparkling stars．
You can see even more with a telescope．You might see stars where before you only saw dark space．You might see that many stars look larger than others．You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue．With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky．And you can see those objects in more and more detail．
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see．We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world，on the clearest night of the year．
That's because they're invisible．They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes．
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die．After all，our Sun is a star．Year after year we see it up in the sky，burning brightly，giving us heat and light．The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak．But stars do burn out and die after billions of years．
As a star's gases burn，they give off light and heat．But when the gas runs out，the star stops burning and begins to die．
As the star cools，the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center．The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball．If the star was very small，the star ends up as a cold，dark ball called a black dwarf．If the star was very big，it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe．
Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble．That's how tightly this dead star，a black hole，is packed．What pulls the star in toward its center with such power？It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity．A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light．The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes．That's why you see nothing but blackness．
So the next time you stare up at the night sky，remember：there's more in the sky than meets the eye!Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space．

D．The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward．

Answer 1

分析 這篇文章主要向我們介紹了一些關(guān)于宇宙中星球的天文知識(shí)．利用天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡我們可以觀察到太空中更多的物體，更為詳細(xì)地了解星星．還有一些我們看不到的星星，它們靠氣體燃燒發(fā)光，當(dāng)氣體燃盡，它們便成為被叫做黑洞的神秘死星．

解答 66．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段的But when the gases run out，the star stops burning and begins to die．描述，可知當(dāng)氣體燃盡，星星便停止燃燒，我們就開(kāi)始看不到它們．故選D．
67．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段的But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see．可知，科學(xué)家相信天空中一定有我們從未看到的東西，所以沒(méi)有和黑洞一樣神秘的東西是錯(cuò)誤的，故選B．
68．A細(xì)節(jié)理解題．文章沒(méi)有提及白矮星與黑矮星的大小比較，故選A．
69．C推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段的that's because they're invisible．They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes．可知當(dāng)星星成為被叫做黑洞的神秘死星后就看不見(jiàn)了，故選C．
70．D細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light．The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes．That's why you see nothing but blackness．可知，黑洞是如此緊密，它的引力吸收一切甚至是光．從黑洞發(fā)出的光永遠(yuǎn)不能回到你的眼睛．這就是為什么你看到的只是黑暗．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是科教類(lèi)文章，淺顯易懂，各個(gè)小題都能在文中找到適當(dāng)依據(jù)．只要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，注意前后聯(lián)系，就能順利完成閱讀．文章所設(shè)試題主要考察細(xì)節(jié)查找，做題關(guān)鍵是找出原文的根據(jù)，認(rèn)真核查小題和原文的異同．
