When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate.

Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word, I cried and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll.

The death of a star is not a quiet event. 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 star is made of bees tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! The star bees 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 squeezed 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 universe, 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(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. So far the time being, the black hole must remain a mystery, but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. 32. When the star begins to die, _.A. there is no fuel left in itB. its outer layer goes into space first C. a huge explosion will happenD. it doesnt give off light any longer 33. What can help to produce a black hole?A. The light cant go out of the star.B. The star bees smaller and smaller.C. The gravity inside the star is very strong.D. All the above.34. Which description of the black hole is correct definitely?A. It will appear at another place at a different time.B. It can pull in everything we know of in the world.C. It continues being smaller and smaller all the time.D. It goes into another universe and bees a white hole.35. Whats the best title for this passage?A. What Are Black Holes? B. Travel Through A Black Hole C. How Do Black Holes e Into Being? D. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Like human beings, dogs may also catch a cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs.
