【正文】 hey could potentially take a census of blackhole mergers, spot the collisions of ultradense neutron stars(中子星), probe the inner dynamics of exploding stars and discover theoretical “cosmic strings” left over from the big bang. These waves will be particularly useful for studying black holes (the existence of which was first implied by Einstein’s theory) and other dark objects, because they’ll give scientists a bright beacon to search for even when objects don’t emit actual light. Mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could get a lot easier. Since they pass through matter without interacting with it, gravitational waves would e to Earth carrying undistorted information about their origin. They could also improve methods for estimating the distances to other galaxies. It will also start a new era of astronomy in which gravitational waves are tools for studying the most mysterious and exotic objects in the universe. 33. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the experiment of gravitational waves? A. It is a success and was approved of by all. B. It is well designed though time and money consuming. C. It proves that black holes do give out gravitational waves. D. It proves one of the key predictions of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity right. 34. Why is gravitational waves important? A. Because scientists have relied on light, visible and otherwise, to observe the cosmos. B. Because they have been used to discover facts about the inner dynamics of exploding stars. C. Because they could make it possible to probe objects in total darkness even when they don’t give out light. D. Because mapping the abundance of black holes and frequency of their mergers could be impossible without them. 35. The underlined word “undistorted” in paragraph 6 probably mean _______ A. Unrelated. B. Unfamiliar. C. Unchanged. D. Unreal. 第二節(jié) (共5小題。每小題2分，滿分30分) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 14. Who is probably the oldest? A. The man. B. The woman. C.
