Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

19、Read each passage carefully and decide on the best answer. Then write the answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe is somewhat more than 75 percent hydrogen and helium.Astronomers hav

20、e measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars (类星体). Helium nuclei have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall

21、 on the earth (cosmic “rays” are not really a form of radiation, they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesnt seem to make very much difference where the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more o

22、f it; in others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have bee

23、n produced in this manner can be calculated, and it turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent hel

24、ium at a time near the beginning.However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the one minute point that heli

25、um could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled sufficiently that neutrons (中子) and protons (质子) could stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formation of helium went on for only a relatively short time. By the time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had e

26、ffectively ceased.41. What does the passage mainly explain?A. How stars produce energy.B. The difference between helium and hydrogen.C. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.D. Why hydrogen is abundant.42. According to the passage, helium is_.A. the second most abundant element in the u

27、niverseB. difficult to detectC. the oldest element in the universeD. the most prevalent element in quasars43. Why does the author mention “cosmic rays” in Paragraph 2?A. As part of a list of things containing helium.B. As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.C. To explain how the universe b

28、egan.D. To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.44. The creation of helium within stars_.A. cannot be measuredB. produces energyC. produces hydrogen as a by productD. causes helium to be much more abundant in old stars than in young stars45. Most of the helium in the universe was formed

29、_.A. in interstellar spaceB. in a very short timeC. during the first minute of the universes existenceD. before most of the hydrogenPassage TwoNow custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investi

30、gation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a

31、 rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest.No man ever looks at the world with pristine (未受外界影响的) eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophica
