12、into each other and forming a much bigger one, a century after Albert Einstein predicted that such an event would send ripples (波纹) through spacetime. Scientists “heard” the wave with the help of laser beams (激光束) sent through two pipes which form an angle of 90 between each other and are nearly 2,0
13、00 miles apart in the US. That equipment let them glimpse the nature of black holes. Together they made up the Laser Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory (LICO)Gravitational waves were first observed in September 2015 and the second detection occurred three months later. The third detection,
14、 which the astronomers called GW170104, was made on January 4,2017. The astronomers believed their latest finding “provides clues about the directions in which the black holes are spinning”. “Black holes are beautifully simple. You just need two numbers to describe them completely: mass, how much th
15、ey bend spacetime, and a spin, how much spacetime moves about them，” said Dr Christopher Berry of the University of Birmingham, one of the researchers in the project. “But it takes lots of hard work to measure these from our data. We now have wonderful mass measurements, and are starting to uncover
16、details about the spins of these black holes, which could give evidence for how they formed.” The researchers said their discovery added further evidence to support Einsteins general theory of relativity and confirmed the existence of previously unknown black holes. More than 1,000 scientists from t
17、he LIGO Scientific Collaboration were involved in the project along with an additional 280 researchers from the Europeanbased Virgo Collaboration. Scientists hope gravitational waves will offer a completely different view of the universe, allowing them to study events that might be hidden from tradi
18、tional telescopes. “We have further confirmation of the existence of stellar (恒星的)mass black holes that are larger than 20 solar masses. We didnt know they existed before LIGO detected them，” MIT researcher David Shoemaker said.1Who pioneered gravitational waves?ADavid Shoemaker. BChristopher Berry.
19、CScientists from LIGO. DAlbert Einstein.答案：D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a century after Albert Einstein predicted that such an event would send ripples (波纹) through spacetime”可知，科学家们的这一发现发生在爱因斯坦预测此事件的一个世纪后，因此爱因斯坦是引力波的先行者。2How did scientists discover gravitational waves?ABy using laser beams.BBy joining vertical p
20、ipes.CBy using traditional telescopes.DBy following the orbit of black holes.答案：A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Scientists heard the wave with the help of laser beams (激光束) sent through two pipes which form an angle of 90 between each other and are nearly 2,000 miles apart in the US.”可知，科学家们是通过使用激光束来探测到引力波的。3What c
21、an we learn from the last three paragraphs?AMore than 2,000 scientists took part in the event.BScientists have already discovered spins of black holes.CGravitational waves contributed to black holes research.DThere is no way to find out how black holes are formed.答案：C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The astronomers be
22、lieved their latest finding provides clues about the directions in which the black holes are spinning”和第四段中的“We . are starting to uncover details about the spins of these black holes, which could give evidence for how they formed.”可知，科学家们第三次发现引力波给黑洞的旋转方向提供了线索，黑洞的旋转细节可能为它们的形成方式提供证据。即引力波有助于黑洞的研究。故选C。4
23、What do the scientists think of the application of gravitational waves?AIts controversial. BIts promising.CIts limited. DIts demanding.答案：B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Scientists hope gravitational waves will offer a completely different view of the universe, allowing them to study events that might be hidden fro
24、m traditional telescopes.”可知，科学家们希望引力波会提供一个完全不同的宇宙观，使得他们能研究使用传统望远镜可能发现不了的事情，即他们认为引力波的运用很有前景。故选B项。B(2019中央民族大学附中月考)Since English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is st
25、ill the subject of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the
26、 US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Romer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment
27、 close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest fourfooted animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah B
28、yrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Romers theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the mag
29、azine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures
30、 stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”， explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food . the fish that had large limbs had an adv
31、antage because they could flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of l
32、andbased tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer，” she said. 5Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?AHannah Byrne. BCharles Darwin.CAlfred Romer. DSteven Balbus.答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Recently, an idea that occurred to the US pale
33、ontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.”和第四段第一句“Romer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.”可知，是Alfred Romer最先提出了鱼类可能因为潮汐潭而发育出四肢的理论，故选C项。6Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A
34、There were larger oceans. BEarth was under greater pressure.CThe moon gave off more energy. DEarth was closer to the moon.答案：D细节理解题。根据第七段中的“. tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.”可知，过去的潮汐比现在强。这是因为地球这颗行星以前距离月球比现在近了10%，故D
35、项正确。7The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 probably means “_”Atrapped BsettledCabandoned Dfound答案：A词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides.”可知，Romer认为海洋生物因为潮汐作用被迫进入潮汐潭，并结合画线词所在句可知，海洋动物是被迫进入潮汐潭，因而被困于潮汐潭最为适合题意，故选A项。8What is the focus of the article?ATh
36、e arguments over a scientific theory.BSome new evidence to support a previous theory.CThe proposal of a new scientific theory.DA new discovery that questions a previous theory.答案：B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，英国生物学家达尔文的物种起源极大地提高了科学家对自然历史的认识。但仍有不少是没有根据的猜测。其中关于海洋动物如何有了四肢，从而得以迁徙到陆地上生活的由美国古生物学家Alfred Romer提出的猜测再次成为热门话题。许多科学家对此进行实验并提供了许多新的证据来进行证实。同时结合第五段第二句可知，C项(一些新的证据来支持先前的理论。)是本文阐述的重点，故选B项。
