Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces (熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event.
12、 First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the sta
13、r is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is
14、 so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squ
15、eezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our univers
16、e, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time many years in the past or
17、future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed. So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that
18、 in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly wastea sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!1. When the star begins to die _.A.

23、 no magic powers for looking down below the earths surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie under the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.This newest method of sear
24、ching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.At Watson Bar Creek, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. E
25、ach bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.Study of the roots, branches and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amount of gold in the
26、roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds.
