Decades later, in 1968, experts cnducted an examinatin f King Tut’s mummy using simple X-ray technlgy. Three imprtant discveries led t varius theries abut his death.

They fund Tut’s father and mther, wh had similar DNA, were actually brther and sister. The DNA they passed n t Tut may have made it easy fr him t catch a disease. Did an infectin that started in his brken leg cause his death? N ne knws fr sure. But Hawass and his team hpe they will smeday have an answer t this age-ld mystery.

What wuld happen t yu if yu fell int a black hle? Sme physicists believe yu wuld burn up the mment yu entered ne. Einstein’s general thery f relativity predicts that yu wuld pass thrugh, unaware that yu were lst t the rest f the universe.
Black hles have a bttm, but yu wuldn’t live t see it. Gravity, as yu fell, wuld grw strnger. The pull n yur feet, if yu were falling feet first, wuld be s much greater than the pull n yur head that yu wuld be stretched until yu were trn apart. But pieces f yu wuld reach the bttm. Frm there, sme physicists believe that thse pieces that nce were yu culd end up in anther universe.
Hwever, nbdy has ever seen r will see a black hle. A black hle is invisible, a blank spt in space, but scientists are able t knw its existence by the effect it has n things arund it. Fr example, if an bject cmes clse t a black hle, it shuld be pssible t see the pwerful gravity f the black hle trying t pull the bject in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning t d: t bserve ne while it eats a very large bject.
The black hle at the center f the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas clud tward itself fast. As the gas clud begins t enter the black hle, telescpes will be able t take a picture f a black hle in actin. This will be the best prf s far that black hles certainly exist.
A black hle is an eater. The nearer bjects get t it, the htter they becme. Black hles als spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amunts f matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies thrugh space, away frm the hle at unbelievable speed. It can travel millins f light-years straight thrugh a galaxy. The material then cls, cmes tgether, and eventually frms new stars arund the galaxy, thus the birth f new universes.
12. Accrding t paragraph 2, what is the cnsequence f falling int a black hle?
A. Being reduced t pieces.B. Being stretched int a single piece.
C. Being burned in anther universe.D. Being pulled t the bttm instantly.
13. Why des the authr use the example in paragraph 3?
A. T prve that n ne can see a black hle.
B. T shw that black hles can in fact be detected.
C. T bserve while a black hle eats a huge bject.
D. T see the pwerful gravity a black hle pssesses.
14. What’s the meaning f the underlined wrd in the last paragraph?
A. Set up.B. Take in.C. Thrw ff.D. Call fr.
15. What’s the main idea f this passage?
A. What a black hle is and its varius aspects.
B. Why a black hle is invisible and its final discvery.
C. Hw a black hle is frmed and its unknwn mysteries.
D. When a black hle bears a universe and its amazing rigin.

What wuld happen t yu if yu fell int a black hle? Sme physicists believe yu wuld burn up the mment yu entered ne. Einstein’s general thery f relativity predicts that yu wuld pass thrugh, unaware that yu were lst t the rest f the universe.
Black hles have a bttm, but yu wuldn’t live t see it. Gravity, as yu fell, wuld grw strnger. The pull n yur feet, if yu were falling feet first, wuld be s much greater than the pull n yur head that yu wuld be stretched until yu were trn apart. But pieces f yu wuld reach the bttm. Frm there, sme physicists believe that thse pieces that nce were yu culd end up in anther universe.
Hwever, nbdy has ever seen r will see a black hle. A black hle is invisible, a blank spt in space, but scientists are able t knw its existence by the effect it has n things arund it. Fr example, if an bject cmes clse t a black hle, it shuld be pssible t see the pwerful gravity f the black hle trying t pull the bject in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning t d: t bserve ne while it eats a very large bject.
The black hle at the center f the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas clud tward itself fast. As the gas clud begins t enter the black hle, telescpes will be able t take a picture f a black hle in actin. This will be the best prf s far that black hles certainly exist.
A black hle is an eater. The nearer bjects get t it, the htter they becme. Black hles als spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amunts f matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies thrugh space, away frm the hle at unbelievable speed. It can travel millins f light-years straight thrugh a galaxy. The material then cls, cmes tgether, and eventually frms new stars arund the galaxy, thus the birth f new universes.
12. Accrding t paragraph 2, what is the cnsequence f falling int a black hle?
A. Being reduced t pieces.B. Being stretched int a single piece.
C. Being burned in anther universe.D. Being pulled t the bttm instantly.
13. Why des the authr use the example in paragraph 3?
A. T prve that n ne can see a black hle.
B. T shw that black hles can in fact be detected.
C. T bserve while a black hle eats a huge bject.
D. T see the pwerful gravity a black hle pssesses.
14. What’s the meaning f the underlined wrd in the last paragraph?
A. Set up.B. Take in.C. Thrw ff.D. Call fr.
15. What’s the main idea f this passage?
A. What a black hle is and its varius aspects.
B. Why a black hle is invisible and its final discvery.
C. Hw a black hle is frmed and its unknwn mysteries.
D. When a black hle bears a universe and its amazing rigin.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Gravity, as yu fell, wuld grw strnger. The pull n yur feet, if yu were falling feet first, wuld be s much greater than the pull n yur head that yu wuld be stretched until yu were trn apart. But pieces f yu wuld reach the bttm. Frm there, sme physicists believe that thse pieces that nce were yu culd end up in anther universe. (当你下落时，重力会变得更强。如果你的脚是先着地的，那么你脚上的拉力会比你头上的拉力大得多，你会被拉伸，直到被撕裂。但你的一部分会沉入海底。一些物理学家认为，从那里开始，那些曾经属于你的碎片可能会在另一个宇宙中终结。)”可知，掉入黑洞的后果是被撕裂成碎片。重力将会拉伸你的身体，直到你被撕裂为止。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Hwever, nbdy has ever seen r will see a black hle. A black hle is invisible, a blank spt in space, but scientists are able t knw its existence by the effect it has n things arund it. Fr example, if an bject cmes clse t a black hle, it shuld be pssible t see the pwerful gravity f the black hle trying t pull the bject in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning t d: t bserve ne while it eats a very large bject.( 然而，没有人见过黑洞，也不会有人看到黑洞。黑洞是看不见的，是太空中的一个空白点，但科学家们能够通过它对周围事物的影响来知道它的存在。例如，如果一个物体靠近黑洞，就有可能看到黑洞的强大引力试图把这个物体拉进去。事实上，这正是科学家们正在计划做的事情：在它吞噬一个非常大的物体时观察它。)”可知，作者在第三段中使用这个例子是为了展示黑洞实际上是可以被探测到的。虽然黑洞本身是看不见的，但科学家可以通过它对周围物体的影响来确认其存在。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“A black hle is an eater. The nearer bjects get t it, the htter they becme. Black hles als spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amunts f matter at extremely high temperatures.(黑洞是一个吞食者。物体离它越近，温度就越高。黑洞也会旋转，极端的热量和旋转会在极高的温度下分解并expel大量物质。)”可知，黑洞吞食一切，黑洞的极端热度和旋转使其分解并排出大量物质，因此推断“expel”的意思是“排出”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Black hles have a bttm, but yu wuldn’t live t see it. (黑洞有一个底部，但你不会活着看到它。)”，第四段的“The black hle at the center f the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas clud tward itself fast.( 位于银河系中心的黑洞是和平的，但目前正在快速地将气体云拉向自己。)”以及第五段的“A black hle is an eater.( 黑洞是一个吞食者。)”可知，文章讨论了黑洞的性质、它如何被发现以及它的影响等方面的信息，因此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是关于黑洞是什么以及它的各个方面。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了关于大白鲨攻击人类的误解。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，通常被称为“食人鲨”的大白鲨被认为是猎杀人类的动物。空处需填非谓语动词作状语，great whites和refer为逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词形式。故填referred。
【37题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：如果斯皮尔伯格用另一种方式拍摄《大白鲨》，人们可能会对大白鲨产生好感。if条件句表示对过去事实的虚拟，谓语动词使用had dne。故填had made。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：事实上，一个人被闪电杀死的几率比被大白鲨杀死的几率还要大。根据“greater”可知，此处将“一个人被闪电杀死的几率”和“被大白鲨杀死的几率”进行对比，需用介词than。故填than。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：造成大白鲨攻击的最常见原因之一是大白鲨视力不佳。ne f后面接可数名词复数形式。故填causes。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查省略句。句意：攻击海豹时，大白鲨会游到水面上，用巨大的力量撕咬。when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，完整的从句是“When they are attacking seals”，省略了they are。故填attacking。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大白鲨“攻击”是因为它们实际上是好奇的动物，想要调查事物。want t d sth.为固定搭配，意为“想要做某事”。故填t investigate。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：专家们认为，大白鲨可能不仅仅用它们的咬来捕食，还用它们来收集信息。nt just…but als…为固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
