Estimates ranged from 10 to 20 billion year
10、s old, a frustratingly large spread. But that was before the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, named after the astronomer whose discovery 70 years ago began the quest to learn the universes age.Edwin Hubble found that the galaxies (星系) within the universe are speeding away from each other at a r
11、ate proportional to their distance. That expansion rate-the Hubble constant (常数)-is the key to calculating the age and size of the universe. But pinning down the constant requires precise measurements of the distances to far-flung galaxies.In May, a team led by Wendy Freeman of the Carnegie Institut
12、ion, of Washington, D. C., announced the result of eight years of Hubble measurements: The universe is expanding at a rate of 21 kilometers per million light-years. That translates to an age of approximately 12 billion years for the universe. similar to the value for the oldest stare.“After all thes
13、e years,“ says Freeman. “we are finally entering an era of precision cosmology (宇宙论). Now we can more reliably address the broader picture of the universes origin, evolution, and destiny.“Is the new number the last word? Not quite. In June, astronomers using a large array of radio telescopes reporte
14、d a measurement to a distant galaxy that would make the universe 15 percent younger than Hubbles results.（分数：5.00）(1).What is the age of the universe according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Approximately 10 billion years old.B.20 billion years old.C.Approximately 12 billion years old.D.Not quite accurat

18、erses sizeC.we still cant know the exact age of the universeD.we can more reliably solve the broader picture of the universes origin, evolution, and destiny六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Surprisingly, there is a relationship between sea salt and the making of rain drops. Most of the water droplets that m
19、ake up clouds are formed around small, solid particles. In order to fall as rain, the cloud droplets have to increase in size. Clouds from which rain does not fall have droplets that are fairly uniform in size. Clouds that produce rain have some droplets that are much larger than others.The producti
20、on of rain depends on the presence of the large droplets that grow in size by coalescence (a fusing together). There is evidence to support the theory that a particle of sea salt serves as the nucleus (核，核心) or center, around which the larger droplets form. Most of the sea salt probably enters the a
21、tmosphere from, bubbles that form on the surface of the sea. When the bubbles break, a tiny, even microscopic, droplet of salt water is cast into the air. Once in the atmosphere, the microscopic piece of salt collects water vapor from the air. The water vapor then condenses on the particle of salt.
22、The moisture absorbed by the salt particles, dissolves the salt, thus leaving only a slightly salty cloud droplet.Cloud droplet, formed from condensation of salt particles of dust particles. The reason is that salt particles are usually larger than dust particles. Their larger size is instrumental (
23、有作用的)in making the single rain droplet grow by coalescence with smaller droplets. Since low level clouds dont rise high enough to produce ice crystals as a source of condensation, it most likely is the salt particles that cause them to become rain clouds.（分数：5.00）(1).Rain clouds are characterized pr
24、imarily by _.（分数：1.00）A.dust particlesB.droplets that are uniform in sizeC.droplets that are large and smallD.bubbles(2).The passage implies that, in order for rain to fall, its necessary for water vapor to _.（分数：1.00）A.turn to ice crystalsB.collect on solid particles and condenseC.condense on salt
25、particlesD.rise above the lower level of clouds(3).Coalescence, as it is described in the Second paragraph of the passage, is a process in which droplets of water _.（分数：1.00）A.evaporateB.CondenseC.fuse togetherD.dissolve(4).The word “microscopic“ (Paragraph 2) could be replaced by which of the follo

27、ainst teen drug abuse? Despite years of antidrug campaigns, drug use among American teens is increasing dramatically. Consider the statistics. The PRIDE (Parents Resource for Drag Education)survey of more than 140,000 Students shows that drug use among 11-to 14-year olds is on the rise, with 11.4 pe
28、rcent of junior-high students reporting monthly use of marijuana(大麻)， cocaine, or other illicit drugs. In a study issued last year by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, researches found that drugs are more readily available and used by youth at a youn
29、ger age than ever before.The findings have sounded a national alarm and ongoing debate about how to counter the disturbing trend. Last year, President Clinton called the dramatic increase in drug use among Americas youth “the ultimate threat to the future of our country.“Ironically, todays teenagers
30、 are exposed to more drug education than any previous generation - the federal government has required public schools to teach drug prevention since 1987. The fact that drug use is still on the rise has caused policymakers, school officials, and parents to examine current drug prevention efforts.Whi
31、le many parents call for more governmental and school intervention to tackle the drug problem, the PRIDE survey revealed that parental involvement plays a key role in teenage use. According to the survey, only 31 percent of parents are warning their children often about the dangers of drugs, but tha
32、t these parental warnings can have a dramatic effect. Students who are given a clear set of rules reported 57 percent less drug use.（分数：5.00）(1).What is the meaning of “tackle“ in the Paragraph 4?（分数：1.00）A.Connect.B.Deal with.C.Find out.D.Relieve.(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true ac
