Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the two sisters talk to each other on the phone.26Both the adopted girls shared a first name _.Abecause they both came from ChinaBbecause of their physical similaritiesCbecause their US parents suspected they were twinsDfor no good reason27Why did the girls mothers meet on the Internet?ATo compare photographs of the two girls.BTo find the girls biological kin.CTo test their suspicions.DTo know how to adopt children.28Experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because _.ADNA tests are still not accurate enoughBthe two girls were born in two different familiesCthe DNA of a biological parent is still missingDone girl was born a week later than the other29What Ramirez said in Paragraph 4 suggests that she _.Adidnt believe what had happenedBwas surprised at what had happenedCdidnt want to accept the factDwas pleased with what they had done30What would be the best title for the passage?AAdopted Sisters Are ReunitedBAdopted Sisters Live Happily in the USCSuspicion Turned into RealityDThe Stories of Two FamiliesBThe earth，moon，sun and all visible stars in the sky make up less than one percent of the universe.Almost all the rest is dark matter and dark energy，unknown forces that puzzle astronomers.Observations in recent years have changed the basic understanding of how the universe evolved and have indicated how little is known about the major forces and substances that shaped our world.Astronomers now know that luminous(发光的) matterstars，planets and hot gas.accounts for only about 0.4 percent of the universe.Nonluminous components，such as black holes and intergalactic(星系间的) gas，make up 3.6 percent.The rest is dark matter，about 23 percent，and dark energy，about 73 percent.Dark matter，sometimes called “cold dark matter”，has been known for some time.Only recently have researchers come to understand the key role it played in the formation of stars，planets and even people.“We owe our very existence to dark matter，” said physicist Paul Steinhardt.“Dark matter dominated the structure formation in the early universe，” Steinhardt said.“For the first few billion years dark matter contained most of the mass of the universe.You can think of ordinary matter as a froth(泡沫状物) of an ocean of dark matter.The dark matter dumps and the ordinary matter falls into it.That led to the formation of the stars and galaxies(星系)Without dark matter，there would be virtually no structure in the universe.”The nature of dark matter is unknown.It cannot be seen or detected directly.Astronomers know it is there because of its effects on celestial(天上的) objects that can be seen and measured.But the most dominating force of all in the universe is called dark energy, a recently proven power that astronomers say is causing the galaxies in the universe to separate at a faster and faster speed.31We know from the text that _.Aall visible stars are very important in the universeBthe basic understanding of the universe evolution was totally wrongCdark matter is also known as dark energyDdark energy makes up about three quarters of the universe32The text tells us “dark matter” _.Aplays an important part in forming stars，planets and humansBhas been fully understood by researchersCremains an unimportant force to the universe like dark energyDhas nothing to do with the formation of the universe today33“The major forces and substances that shaped our world” (in Para.2) refers to _.Aluminous matter Bnonluminous matterCdark matter Dordinary matter34According to Paul Steinhardt，our existence today _.Adepends mainly on dark matterBhas something to do with ordinary matterCresults from the formation of celestial objectsDevolves from the mass of the universe35Which of the following is the best title for the passage?ADark Matter or Dark EnergyBThe Formation of the UniverseCDark Forces Dominate the UniverseDUnknown Forces Puzzle AstronomersCChina is having such a huge influence on the United States that many Americans are struggling to learn the Chinese language in a bid to keep competitive. “Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years，” said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society. Chinas quick rise to nearsuperpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the Americans interest to learn the language, experts say. From kindergartens to high schools, studies by the Asia Society show, there is a “rapid rise” in interest among pupils to study the Chinese language. “The Chinese rich cultural traditions and blossoming economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared，” said Michael Levine, Asia Societys executive director of education. A survey found that 2,400 high schools an unbelievably high number would be interested in offering the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006. China, the worlds most populous nation, is important to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer(消费者) and investor. Its political influence is also rising across the world. It has replaced the United States as the worlds largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the United States, in the next two to three decades. Even though the US State Department has described the Chinese language “critical” to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is terribly not enough，” an Asia Society study says. The Society has set an aim of having at least five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015. “Millions of Chinese are learning English, but only 24,000 Americans are learning Chinese，” said
