9、s Yao around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball prowess （杰出 的 才能）but also for being a symbol of international commerce.When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft （选拔），he was the first international player ever to b
10、e selected first. His assets on the court are clear enough一no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful （难对付的人） for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to mill

The black holes gravity pulls harder on the ne
22、arest part of the star, an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours, once it gets close enough.Scientists say this uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star. The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy
23、 the star from within. Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris （巴黎天 文台）in Meudon, France, carried out computer simulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate stars life, as it veered （改变方向） towards a supermassive black hole.When the star gets close enough, the
24、 uneven forces flatten it into14 a pancake （薄饼）shape. Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigger intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart. But other studies had suggested that the picture would be complic
25、ated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail, and found that even when their effects are included, the conditions favor a nuclear explosion. There will be an explosion of t
26、he starit will be completely destroyed, z， Brassart says. Although the explosion obliterates （使消失）the star, it saves some of the stars matter from being devoured （吞没）by the black hole. The explosion is powerful enough to hurl much of the stars matter out of the black hole s reach, he says.The devour
27、ing of stars by black holes may already have been observed, although at a much later stage. It is thought that several months after the event that rips the star apart, its matter starts swirling （旋 转）into the hole itself. It heats up as it does so, releasing ultraviolet light and X-rays.If stars dis
28、rupted near black holes really do explode, then they could in principle allow these events to be detected at a much earlier stage, says Jules Halpern of Columbia University in New York, US. It may make it possible to see the disruption of that star immediately if it gets hot enough, he says.第 36题、Wh
29、atwould take place if a star gets too close to a black hole?A.The star would veer away from the black hole.B. The black hole would reduce its own size considerably.C. The flattening process wou1d reduce the stars density.D.The black hole would rip the star apart.我的答案：参考答案：D答案解析：事实细节题。根据文章第一段第一句Scien

32、process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.可知，先前的研究认为引力导致 的扁平状会让天体内部密度、温度增加，从而引发核反应爆炸，而其他研究认为 天体在变扁平的过程中会受到冲击波的影响，不会有爆炸产生，故B正确。第38题、According to Paragraph 4, the new simulations favored .A.the creation of a new starB. the formation of a new black holeC. a nuclear explosionD.the enlargement o
33、f the star我的答案：参考答案：C答案解析：事实细节题。根据文章第四段第一句The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail, and found that even when their effects are included, the conditions favor a nuclear explosion. ” 可矢口, 新的模 拟实验详细地研究了冲击波的影响，实验发现即便将产生的影响包括在内，还是 很有可能产生核爆炸，所以新的模拟实验偏向于产生核爆炸这一可能性，故选C。第 39题、Wha

The black holes matter will heat up.C.The torn stars matter will swirl into the black hole.D. The black hole will devour ultraviolet light and X-rays. 我的答案： 参考答案：C 答

36、主要介绍了黑洞强大的引力会吸引靠近的天体，引发天体 内部核反应、爆炸，从而导致天体的自毁。题目中的serf-destruct和文章的 tear apart都是disruption（分解,毁坏）的近义词，故选B。Dont Rely on Indirect EvidenceConservationists may be miscalculating the numbers of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error occurs because of a f
37、law in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung （粪）the creatures leave behind.The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions, according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society （WCS） in New York
38、.Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees. We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect,/z says Payne, who electronically tracks elephants.Counting elephants from aeroplanes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Afri
39、ca. So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays. Because its extremely difficult to determine these rates, however, researchers tallying （统计）elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates es
40、tablished elsewhere.But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region depending on the climate and environment. Using the wrong values can lead the census astray （歧途），says Plumptre.He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the
41、forests of Banyany一一Mbo wildlife sanctuary （禁猎 区）in Southwest Cameroon. They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 per cent more slowly than dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon. If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they would probably find more
42、elephants than are actually around.This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from decay rates calculated locally, says Plumptre. However accurate your dung density estimate is, the decay rate can severely affect the result. Plumptre also says that the dung-pil
43、e census should be carried17 out over a region similar in size to an elephants natural range. The usual technique of monitoring only small, protected areas distorts numbers because elephants move in and out of these regions, he says. if the elephant population increases within the protected area, yo
44、u can not determine whether it is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached （偷猎）outside. Plumptre says that similar problems may also plague other animalcensus studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests, tracks or burrows （地洞）.第41题、Theword t
45、hreatened in Paragraph 1 meansA. endangeredB.frightenedC.killedD. angered我的答案：参考答案：A答案解析：词义猜测题。threatened的词根threat是“威胁，受到危险”的意思，所 以threatened意思就是“受到危险的，受到威胁的，与endangered（濒危的） 意思相近,故选A。frightened害怕的;killed被杀死的；angered激怒（anger 的过去式和过去分词）o第42题、Theway elephant numbers are estimated isA.technicalB.theore
46、ticalC.unhelpfulD. mistaken我的答案： 参考答案：D 答案解析：推理判断题。文章第五段提到 “Using the wrong values can lead the census astray（使用错误的数值会导致数量普查偏离正道）”，而且第一段和第二段中的“error” “mistake”等词都表明这种间接的研究证据是有误的，大象的数量不 能通过它们的粪便数量来估测。因为衰变率不同，会造成很大误差，故选D。题、第43Counting piles of elephant dung is not reliable because they differ inA. siz
47、eB. shapeC. track locationD.decay rate18我的答案：参考答案：D答案解析：事实细节题。根据文章倒数第四段第三句If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they wou 1 d probably find more elephants than are actually around. ”可知,如果研究衰变率,那么实际上 会发现有更多大象。在文章倒数第三段中，Plumptre说到“However accurate your dung density e
48、stimate is, the decay rate can severely affect the result （不论粪便密度估计的多么准确，衰变率也会严重影响其效果）”。由此可 知，研究者认为大象的数量不能通过它们的粪便数量来估测，因为衰变率不同， 会造成很大误差，故选D。第44题、According to Plumptre, a dung-pile census should be conducted in a.A. natural rangeB.small regionC.protected areaD. monitored place我的答案：参考答案：A答案解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句话中的“the dung-pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephants natural rangev可知，粪便数量的统计范围应该选取与大象数量种群相近的地 区。根据倒数第二段最后一句话If the ele
