26、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 stars.

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 are invisible (看不见的). 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 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 gases run out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

As the star cools, the outer parts of the star pull in toward the center. The star is squashed (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball. If the star was very big, it keeps being squashed inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.

Imagine if the Earth collapsed until it was the size of a tiny marble (玻璃球). That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It is the same force that pulls you down when you jump — the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity absorbs 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 look up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than what meets the eye! Scattered (散落) in the silent darkness are black holes — the great mystery of space.

【1】What might happen after a star dies?

A．The star might become a black hole.

B．The Earth might be hit by the star.

C．The sky might become much darker.

D．The gravity might totally disappear.

【2】What causes a star to die?

A．Its gases run out.

B．It hits other stars.

C．It gets too hot.

D．Its light fades away.

【3】What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Folded.

B．Crashed.

C．Orbited.

D．Marched.

【4】Why are people unable to see light from a black hole?

A．Most black holes are too far away.

B．We don’t have a powerful enough telescope.

C．Black holes can travel as fast as light.

D．Light can not escape a black hole’s gravity.

27、Do you want to create more successful writings? Perhaps you can benefit from the following suggestions on excellent writing.

You need time. A lot of smart people lie to themselves like, “I finish my task best at the last minute.” In fact, it’s not true. 【1】 Sure, you are smart, but you still need to have some pressure. For example, if you are working on an important topic, why do you think that you can write well at midnight just before the conference? Writing can be a miracle if you are given enough time.

Writing requires practice. 【2】 Would you do nothing before running a marathon? No, you would practice running gradually to make your body stronger. In order to become a writer, you need to write.

Write at the best time. I happen to be a morning person, so I write early in the day. Then I spend the rest of my day teaching or having meetings. 【3】

【4】 Or, at least, they are not correct to some extent. Nearly all of the best scholars are changed by their experiences in doing research and writing about it. They learn by doing, and sometimes what they learn is that they were wrong.

Revise your writing again and again. Have other people look at it. You need to overcome a fear of refusal. 【5】 The difference between a successful scholar and a failed one is about who is better at writing and revising.

A．Not all of your thoughts are influential.

B．No one works better with time running out.

C．You get better and faster through exercise.

D．Exchange papers with peers or an instructor.

E．Your first thoughts are often wrong.

F．Make sure you save your most productive time for writing.

G．Nobody’s first drafts (草稿) are good.

28、Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．Stories for children are easy to remember.

B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.

C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

D．People remember well what they learned in childhood.

【2】The author explains the law of overlearning by _______.

A．presenting research findings

B．setting down general rules

C．using examples

D．making a comparison

【3】According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.

A．a result of overlearning

B．a special case of cramming

C．a skill to deal with math problems

D．a basic step towards advanced studies

【4】What is the author’s opinion on cramming?

A．It leads to failure in college exams.

B．It’s helpful only in a limited way.

C．It’s possible to result in poor memory.

D．It increases students’ learning interest.

29、
