Part III Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) 仔細(xì)閱讀 填空題 回答 47～ 51 題 The earliest known galaxies in the universe ,which formed during the universe’ s “ dark age” nearly 13 billion years ago, have been spied by two teams of astronomers. The discoveries, reported separately in this week’ s issue of the journal Nature , suggest that galaxies were forming just 700 million years after the birth of universe. Theory holds that the universe formed million years ago when an extremely dense concentration of mass rapidly expanded in an event known as the big bang. The universe has been expanding ever since. So astronomers are able to age galaxies by puting how much the wavelength of their light has stretched – or red shifted – as the expansion takes the galaxies father from Earth. The redder the light is, the older and more distant the galaxy is. The detection of such ancient galaxies adds intrigue(神秘色彩 ) to theories of how the first galaxies formed, according to astronomers. Were there many large ,young galaxies rare and small way back then, as a prevailing theory suggests, and later clumped together to from larger galaxies such as the Milky Way? “ We believe that we need both these processes to explain what we see.” Masanori Iye, a professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, said in an . The galaxy , called IOK1, formed about 750 million years after the big bang – 60 million years closer to the event than the previous record holder. Given the number of galaxies found during a later epoch about 810 million years ago, the researchers had expected to find. as many as six galaxies like the parative rarity (稀有 ) of objects like HOK1 means that the universe must have changed significantly over the 60 million years that separate the two epochs, the team suggests. Iye and colleagues believe that they are witnessing the last phase of a process known as reionization （再次電離） . According to Iye , about 380,000 years after the fiery hot big bang , the universe cooled so much that protons and electrons rebined to from neutral hydrogen. This is known as the beginning of the dark age of the universe, because neutral hydrogen absorb the light from stars. As more galaxies started to from about 300 million years later, the hot stars heated the intergalactic (銀河間的 ) medium and gradually reionized the neutral hydrogen back to protons and electrons. The ionized hydrogen then became more transparent, allowing the galaxies’ light to pass through. Iye said the new result support the idea that neutral hydrogen was still abundant 750 million years after the big bang, blocking even older galaxies from view.” We are starting to see the last phase of cosmic reionization , or the dawn of the cosmic dark age.” He said. Iye added that the discovery also supports the “ hierarchical” theory of galaxy formation, which suggests that big, bright galaxies formed as smaller galaxies collided and merged.” The epoch we have probed is yet in this critical stage,” he said . 第 47 題 According to the discoveries of the astronomers , when did galaxies from? 【參考解析】 文章精要 現(xiàn)知最早的星系形成于距今 130 億年前的“黑暗時代” ，根據(jù)發(fā)現(xiàn)可知，這些星系是宇宙形成七千萬年后 形成的。 Just 700 million years after the birth of the universe. 根據(jù)題干中得關(guān)鍵詞 discoveries 和 form 定位到文章第二段可知，發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，星系形成于宇宙誕生七千萬年以后，再結(jié)合上一段可知，這些發(fā)現(xiàn)是天文學(xué)家得出的。 第 50 題 The parative rarity of IOK1 means that significant changes must have occurredin the universe over the 60 million years that _______ 【參考解析】 separate two epochs 根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞 parative rarity 和 60 million years 定位到倒數(shù)第六段可知，諸如 IOK1 之類物體相對的稀有性表明，在分割兩個時代的六千萬年間，宇宙一定有了重要的改變。 第 52 題 According to the passage, the “ hierarchical “ theory of galaxy formation suggests that big, bright galaxies formed as ________ 【參考解析】 smaller galaxies collided and merged 根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞 ” hierarchical” theory 定位到最后一段，可得答案 仔細(xì)閱讀 選擇題 回答 52～ 56 題 Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said – the words. Words do provide us with some information , but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don’ t always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don’ t mean anything except “ I’ m letting off some steam, I don’ t really want you to pay close attention to what I’ m saying. Just pay attention to what I’ m feeling.” Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner.” This step has to be fixed before I’ ll buy.” The owner says,” It’ s been like that for years.” Actually , the step hasn’ t been like that for years, but the unspoken message:” I don’ t want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can’ t you？“ The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred , the related conditions or situation , and how it was said. When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the oth
