　　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 (球体).Astronomers(天文学家)think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite(无限的)density(稠密).This single point is called a singularity (奇点).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(视界)only 18 miles across.
　　● The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth.One light year is about 6 trillion(万亿)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.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　17.Black holes exist but are difficult to observe.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　18.The center of a black hole is empty.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　19.The attraction of two large stars leads to gravity.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　20.The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　21.The nearest black holes are hundreds of light years away from us.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　22.The Hubble Space Telescope helps scientists to understand the nature of the universe.
　　A.Right 　　B.Wrong 　　C.Not mentioned

　　Unlocking the Human Genome(基因组)
　　1A project to unlock secrets-what scientist could resist that challenge?This is what many scientists are doing as they work on the Human Genome Project.The aim of the project is to decode(破译)all of the some 100,000 genes in the human body.Scientists are using DNA fingerprinting techniques to do the decoding.
　　2DNA is the substance found in the chromosomes(染色体)of a cell.A chromosome is a chain of genes.Each gene carries a piece of genetic information.At any one moment in a cell,thousands of genes are turned on and off to produce proteins(蛋白质).The challenge for scientists is to find out what role each gene plays in protein production.At some point this decoding will be complete.Then scientists will have a map of an ideal genome,or a picture of the total genetic nature of a human being.The ideal genome is called a consensus(交感)genome.Everything works well in a consensus genome.
　　3But no one in the world has a consensus genome.Everyone’s genome is different from the ideal.These differences are referred to as genetic mutations(突变).Genetic mutations in a person’s genome mean that the person has a greater than average chance of suffering from health problems.Some problems are not life-threatening.These would include things like colorblindness,or mild headaches.Other problems are serious,such as heart disease,or cancer.
　　4It will take years to identify the role of each of the 100,000 genes,The short-term goal of the project is to find the physical and mental health problems a person is likely to encounter during his or her lifetime.The long-term goal is to have each person live a longer,healthier life.
　　23.paragraph 1 ________.
　　24.paragraph 2 ________.
　　25.paragraph 3 ________.
　　26.paragraph 4 ________.
　　A.How does DNA work?
　　B.What is the Human Genome Project about?

　　D.What are the goals of the Human Genome Project?
　　E.What is the role of each gene?
　　F.What are the consequences of genetic mutations?

　　27.The Human Genome Project is trying to map all that make us human.
　　28.Decoding the human genome is a challenge to___.
　　29.Genetic mutations in a person’s genome may affect___.
　　30.Scientists are trying hard to discover ___of each of the genes in our body.
　　A.that person’s health
　　B.a scientific answer

　　第4部分：阅读理解(第31~45题，每题3分，共45分)
　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。

　　第一篇Motoring Technology
　　1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year,plus a further 50 million injuries.To reduce car crash rate,much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.
　　Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants.They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.
　　Some safety developments aim to improve your vision.Radar can spot obstacles in fog,while other technology“sees through”big vehicles blocking your view.
　　And improvements to seat belts,pedal(脚踏)controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer.The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,less surprisingly,size and shape.
　　But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(创新).Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash,automatically calling for help.
　　Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road.Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools.Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyons’s personal chauffeur(司机),but their latest efforts suggest that won’t be soon.

　　31.To reduce car crash rate,many scientists are working hard to
　　A.design fully automatic cars.
　　B.develop faster electric vehicles.
　　C.analyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year.
　　D.improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.

　　32.According to the second paragraph,most road accidents happen due to
　　A.heavy traffic.
　　B.human mistakes.
　　C.engine failure.
　　D.bad weather.

　　33.Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage?
　　A.Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision.
　　B.Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.
　　C.Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles.
　　D.Improvements in seat belts,pedal controls and tyres.

　　34.Satellite tracking and remote communication systems cna be used to
　　A.reduce oil consumption.
　　B.remove the obstacles on the road.
　　C.call for help when one’s car crashes.
　　D.help drivers get out of a traffic jam.

　　35.Which of the following state
