CheshireB. PerthC. France D. LondonBHow many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. But scientists believe that we wont see some things in the sky with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. The sun certainly doesnt seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing (挤压) inward until its packed together tighter than anything in the universe. Imagine if the earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jumpthe force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everythingeven light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness. So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: theres more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered (分散) in the silent darkness are black holesthe great mystery of space.55. According to the passage, what causes a star to die? A. As its gases run out, it cools down. B. It collides with other stars. C. It can only live for about a million years. D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.56. The underlined word in the passage means “_”. A. ordinaryB. brightC. strangeD. common57. What happens after a star dies?A. It becomes invisible.B. It falls to the earth. C. It burns up all of its gases.D. It becomes brighter and easier to see. 58. Why cant you see light when you look at a black hole? A. Because most black holes are so far away. B. Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward. C. Because as the stars gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light. D. Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.CEveryone was born with his own built-in burglar alarm (防盗警报器). Its called the sense of sight and sound. Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.We dont see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.We dont notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.(Werent they supposed to be on holiday?)The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars, the vandals (恣意破坏者), and the car thieves.Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. Itll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.A stranger in someones garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out.Thats the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.Its early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.59. The underlined word refers to “_”.A. criminals B. the police C. neighbors D. strangers60. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to _.A. turn on the alarm system in our homeB. try to stop criminals from escapingC. look out for people behaving suspiciously D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs61. The purpose of the passage is to _ in their neighborhood.A. ask people to join the police forceB. advise people how to protect their homesC. warn people about the increasing risk of crimeD. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime62. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. You can HelpB. Its Only Due to YouC. Contact the PoliceD. Who to Blame五、任务型阅读。（共10小题，计10分）Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clotheskhaki pants and a sports shirtto the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “And I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss & Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employees morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”Wear Casual Clothes(1) _ of dressingBefore 1990: (2) _ clothes.In the early 1990s: (3) _ Friday.Reasons/PurposesReason one: (4) _ new employees.Another (5) _: People seem to be happier and more (6) _.Those who are (7) _ casual dressesPercentage: Eight-five percent.Beliefs: Improve employees (8) _.
