Id read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells (魔法)nine being that curious age at which you re old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of mysterious fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique, and I devoted the next months to practice.Initially, the magic wasnt any good. At first it wasnt even magic ; it was just a trick - a bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mom god a carpet sample from the store and placed it under the mirror to eliminate the sound of the coin falling again and again.I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practiceslowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion (幻觉) in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle. I knew that I had got what I wanted.One day I made the performance on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing by the backstop in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. They yelled, laughed, scrambled away. Everyone went crazy. This was great.24. What did the author enter the adult section of the library to do?A. Kill his time.B. Find a book of magic.C. Read The Lord of the Rings.D. Learn knowledge of literature.25. What does the underlined word eliminate in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Remove. B. Enlarge. C. Deliver. D. Track.26. What contributed to the authors success?A. His mothers help.B. The secret of quick moves.C. The inspiration from his father.D. His hard practice over and over.27. How would the author feel about the outcome of his performance on the playground?A. Its disappointing. B. It unexpected.C. Its humorous. D. It wonderful.CEvery year in May, art galleries and museums often prepare shows to honor the life and works of the artist they call Leonardo, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time- Among his most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.Recently, researchers have been studying what they think is da Vincis earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images, not one. One drawing was on the back of the piece, which is dated on August 5, 1473.The drawing on the front, made when Leonardo was 21 years old, shows a river valley and a cas-tie outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back , perhaps because it was rubbed off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this mirror-writing. Leonardo often wrote this way in his notebooks. On the back, the handwriting goes from left to right, and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writings, including from this drawing, one can see his right-handed calligraphy is educated and well done. Experts compared the two handwriting samples and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using both his left hand and his right hand.The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art catalogue. It will be part of an exhibit at Italys Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers give us a new way of looking at Leonardo s drawing technique and his abilities in writing.28. Which of the following is studied by researchers?A. The Mona Lisa. B. The Last S. C. Mirror-writing. D. Landscape 8P.29. What can we know about Leonardo from the text?A. He can only write with his left hand.B. He can only write with his right hand.C. He can write well with either of his hands.D. He was born with an undeveloped left hand.30. How can Leonardo write in his notebooks?A. His handwriting goes from right to left.B. His handwriting goes from left to right.C. His handwriting goes from bottom to top.D. His handwriting goes from top to bottom.31. Whats Eike Schmidt s attitude towards researchers?A. Vague. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.DDont let the name fool you : a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small areathink of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instru-ments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einsteins Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.Scientists cant directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others.32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?A. Its area is small.B. It is empty space.C. Its density is great.D. It contains much light.33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.34. How do scientists research black holes?A. By studying matter nearby them.B. By observing them with telescopes.C. By collecting some light from them.D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Birth of a Black HoleB. The First Picture of a Black HoleC. Some Unknown Secrets of Black HolesD.
