20、Space is not black，but light green, a team of astronomers announced on January 10. They studied the light sent out by 200,000 galaxies. What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how star
21、s and galaxies form. Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a “blue period” when young blue stars filled space. Now the universe is in a “green period”. They believe it will finally enter a “red period” when the older, redder stars appear. “The reason for the colour changin
22、g is that the rate of stars forming is changing，” said Ivan Baldry, an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe. Research presented by NASA scientists shows that the highest point of starforming may have occurred earlier than previously(以前) believed. It was probably
23、very soon after the “Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)” that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.There is no way any human could actually see the green colour. “The only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving，” Baldry said. Baldry and his coworker
24、, Karl Glazebrook, have both joked about possible marketing(营销) opportunities for the new colour.Perhaps colouroftheuniverse Tshirts or coffee cups could become popular. But Baldry allowed，“I dont know if you can patent(专利) a colour, thats not our business. We havent actually been to a paint shop ye
25、t to see if they have a name for this.”1The astronomers discovered the colour of the universe _. Awhen they were researching on the age of the universe Bwhen they attempted to test theories about the forming of stars and galaxies Cto prove that the universe is continuously changing Dand showed that
26、the stars and galaxies may have formed earlier than previously believed解析：第二段第一句“The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.”说明了这一发现是在理论检测过程当中做出的。答案：B2According to the astronomers, _. Athe universe is changing its colour all the time Ball the heavenly bod
27、ies are green at present Cthe universe has changed its colour several times Dthe universe will finally turn red解析：第二段最后一句“They believe it will finally enter ared periodwhen the older，redder stars appear.”为该选项提供了依据。从第二段可看出宇宙的颜色由蓝到绿，最终将变而还未变红，所以C项中的已经变了几次不符合事实。而B项“all the heavenly bodies”远远大于文中stars这一
28、范围。A项中的all the time表示的频率过高。答案：D3We can infer that the most popular colour of Tshirts would be _. Ared Bblue Cgreen Dlight green解析：综合第一段中“What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise.”和最后一段第一句“Perhaps colouroftheuniverse Tshirts or coffee cups could beco
29、me popular.”可看出答案。答案：D4Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ANo human can see the real colour of the universe. BThe theory of “Big Bang” is widely received by scientists. CThe rate of stars forming is causing the change of the universes colour. DHumans can receive light from at least 200,000 galaxies.解析：D项来自于第一段倒数第二句；C项来自第三段第一句；B项来自第四段最后一句。A项与第六段有很大的差异。答案：A
