考题共用题干第一篇How the First Stars in the Universe Came into ExistenceResearchers believe that our universe began with the Big Bang（宇宙大爆炸）about 13 billion years ago,and that soon after that event,matter began to form as small dust grains and gases.How the first stars formed from this dust and gas has been a burning question for years,but a state-of-the-art computer simula- tion now offers the most detailed picture yet of how these first stars in the universe came into existence.The composition of the early universe was quite different from that of today,and the physics that governed the early universe were also somewhat simpler. Dr. Naoki Yoshida and colleagues in Japan and the U.S.incorporated these conditions of the early universe,sometimes referred to as the"cosmic dark ages",to simulate the formation of an astronomical object that would eventually shine its light into this darkness.The result is a detailed description of the formation of a protostar（原恒星）一the early stage of a mas- sive primordial（原始的）star of our universe , and the researchers ' computer simulation , which has been called a"cosmic Rosetta Stone"sets the bar for further investigation into the star formation process.The ques- tion of how the first stars evolved is so important because their formations and eventual explosions providedthe seeds for subsequent stars to come into being.According to their simulation,gravity acted on minute density variations in matter,gases,and the myste- riou;"dark matter"of the universe after the Big Bang in order to form this early stage of a star一a protostarwith a mass of just one percent of our sun. The simulation reveals how pre-stellar（前恒星的）gases would have actually evolved under the simpler physics of the early universe to form this protostar.Dr. Yoshida's simulation also shows that the protostar would likely evolve into a massive star capable ofsynthesizing（合成）heavy elements,not just in later generations of stars,but soon after the Big Bang."This general picture of star formation,and the ability to compare how stellar objects form in different time periods and regions of the universe,will eventually allow investigation into the origins of life and planets,"said Lars Herriquist,a professor of Astronomy at Harvard University and a co-author of this latest report."The abundance of elements in the universe has increased as stars have accumulated,"he says,"and the formation and destruction of stars continues to spread these elements further across the universe.So all ofthe elements in our bOdies originally formed from nuclear reactions in the centers of stars,long ago."Their simulation of the birth of a protostar in the early universe signifies a key step toward the ambitiousgoal of piecing together the formation of an entire primordial star and of predicting the mass and properties of these first stars of the universe.More powerful computers,more physical data,and an even larger range will be needed for further calculations and simulations,but these researchers hope to eventually extend this simu- lation to the point of nuclear reaction initiation一when a stellar object becomes a true star."Dr. Yoshida has taken the study of primordial star formation to a new level with this simulation,but it still gets us only to the halfway point towards our final goal.It is like laying the foundation of a skyscraper," said Volker Bromm,assistant professor of Astronomy at the University of Texas, Austin and the author of a companion article."We must continue our studies in this area to understand how the initially tiny protostar grows,layer by layer,to eventually form a massive star. But here,the physics become much more complicated and even more computational resources are needed."According to Paragraph 4,which of the following is NOT true about a protostar?A:It developed into a massive star during the Big Bang.B:It evolved from pre-stellar gases.C:It was able to integrate heavy elements when evolving into a massive star.D:It had a mass of one percent of the sun.

考题问答题Passage 2　　They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light years from earth. (1) But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago. That was just about the moment that the universe was born. What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected; the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite—Cobe—had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang (the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy).　　(2) The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang, first put forward in the 1920s, to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos. According the theory, the universe burst into being as a submicroscopic, unimaginable dense knot of pure energy that flew outward in all directions, emitting radiation as it went, condensing into particles and then into atoms of gas. Over billions of years, the gas was compressed by gravity into galaxies, stars, plants and eventually, even humans.　　Cobe is designed to see just the biggest structures, but astronomers would like to see much smaller hot spots as well, the seeds of local objects like clusters and superclusters of galaxies. They shouldn’t have long to wait. (3) Astrophysicists working with ground based detectors at the South Pole and balloon borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may report their findings soon.　　(4) If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory. Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion fold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity. (5) Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.

考题问答题Practice 2　　Until early in this century, the isolationist tendency prevailed in American foreign policy. Then two factors projected America into world affairs: its rapidly expanding power, and the gradual collapse of the international system centered on Europe, the watershed presidencies marked this progression: Theodore Roosevelt’s and Woodrow Wilson’s. These men held the reins of government when world affairs were drawing a reluctant nation into their vortex. Both recognized that America had a crucial role to play in world affairs though they justified its emergence from isolation with opposite philosophies.　　Roosevelt was a sophisticated analyst of the balance of power. He insisted on an international role for America because its national interest demanded it, and because a global balance of power was inconceivable to him without American participation. For Wilson, the justification of America’s international role was messianic: America had an obligation, not to the balance of power, but to spread its principles throughout the world. During the Wilson’s Administration, America emerged as a key player in world affairs, proclaiming principles which, while reflecting the truisms of American though, nevertheless marked a revolutionary departure for Old World diplomats. These principles held that peace depends on the spread of democracy, that states should be judged by the same ethical criteria as individuals, and that the national interest consists of adhering to a universal system of law.

考题问答题You can’t know your planet unless you know something about science and technology. School science courses, I remember, concentrated on the unimportant parts of science, leaving the major insights almost untouched. The great discoveries in modern science are also great discoveries of the human spirit. For example, Copernicus showed that --far from being the center of the universe, about which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars revolved in clockwise homage--the Earth is just one of many small worlds. This is a deflation of our pretensions, to be sure, but it is also the opening up to our view of a vast and awesome universe. Every high school graduate should have some idea of the insights of Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Freud, and Einstein. (Einstein’s special theory of relativity, far from being obscure and exceptionally difficult, can be understood in its basics with no more than first-year algebra, and the notion of a rowboat in a river going upstream and downstream.)
