（我不是狗主人）. 我读了一下这个考古，感觉第一段和JJ描述的类似，但是后面2段不像JJ里描述的考古的内容. 考古第一段讲supernova explosion 的过程，最终形成了a neutron star，但是，后面两段都没有提及energy这个词。 而JJ里面的只有2段，第二段是介绍 Supernova和宇宙能量传输 的关系。 参考一下1段里面的专业单词吧，如果考到了至少有所帮助。 generate：产生（能量）。 stellar：恒星。 interstellar ：恒星间的。 fuse: 熔合(通过熔化变得混合或合并). lump ：An irregularly shaped mass or piece。 -- by 会员 moneygmu (2011/4/14 13:11:06)
我不是狗主人, but I don’t think this one is the right jj within this month.
However, still give out the questions and answers.
About twice every century, one of the massive stars in our galaxy blows itself apart in a supernova explosion that sends massive quantities of radiation and matter into space and generates shock waves that sweep through the arms of the galaxy. The shock waves heat the interstellar gas, evaporate small clouds, and compress larger ones to the point at which they collapse under their own gravity to form new stars. The general picture that has been developed for the supernova explosion and its aftermath goes something like this. Throughout its evolution, a star is much like a leaky balloon. It keeps its equilibrium figure through a balance of internal pressure against the tendency to collapse under its own weight. The pressure is generated by nuclear reactions in the core of the star which must continually supply energy to balance the energy that leaks out in the form of radiation. Eventually the nuclear fuel is exhausted, and the pressure drops in the core. With nothing to hold it up, the matter in the center of the star collapses inward, creating higher and higher densities and temperatures, until the nuclei and electrons are fused into a super-dense lump of matter known as a neutron star.
As the overlying layers rain down on the surface of the neutron star, the temperature rises, until with a blinding flash of radiation, the collapse is reversed. A thermonuclear shock wave runs through the now expanding stellar envelope, fusing lighter elements into heavier ones and producing a brilliant visual outburst that can be as intense as the light of 10 billion suns. The shell of matter thrown off by the explosion plows through the surrounding gas, producing an expanding bubble of hot gas, with gas temperatures in the millions of degrees. This gas will emit most of its energy at X-ray wavelengths, so it is not surprising that X-ray observatories have provided some of the most useful insights into the nature of the supernova phenomenon. More than twenty supernova remnants have now been detected in X-ray studies.
Recent discoveries of meteorites with anomalous concentrations of certain isotopes indicate that a supernova might have precipitated the birth of our solar system more than four and a half billion years ago. Although the cloud that collapsed to form the Sun and the planets was composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, it also contained carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, elements essential for life as we know it. Elements heavier than helium are manufactured deep in the interior of stars and would, for the most part, remain there if it were not for the cataclysmic supernova explosions that blow giant stars apart. Additionally, supernovas produce clouds of high-energy particles called cosmic rays. These high-energy particles continually bombard the Earth and are responsible for many of the genetic mutations that are the driving force of the evolution of species.

(B) hundreds of times each century
(C) about once every fifty years
(D) about once every other century
(E) about once every four to five billion years
3. According to the passage all of the following are true of supernovas EXCEPT that they
(A) are extremely bright
(B) are an explosion of some sort

(E) Refutation
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the meteorites mentioned by the author at line 39

(B) give off large quantities of X-rays
(C) include material not created in the normal development of our solar system
(D) are larger than the meteors normally found in a solar system like ours
(E) contain pieces of a supernova that occurred several billion years ago

(B) life on Earth is endangered by its constant exposure to radiation forces that are released by a supernova
(C) recently discovered meteorites indicate that the Earth and other planets of our solar system survived the explosion of a supernova several billion years ago
(D) lighter elements are formed from heavier elements during a supernova as the heavier elements are torn apart
(E) the core of a neutron star is composed largely of heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen
7. According to the passage what is the first event in the sequence that leads to the occurrence of a supernova?
(A) An ordinary star begins to emit tremendous quantities of X-rays.
(B) A neutron star is enveloped by a superheated cloud of gas.
(C) An imbalance between light and heavy elements causes an ordinary star to collapse.
(D) A cloud of interstellar gas rich in carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, collapses to form a neutron star.
(E) An ordinary star exhausts its supply of nuclear fuel and begins to collapse.
8. According to the passage a neutron star is
(A) a gaseous cloud containing heavy elements
(B) an intermediate stage between an ordinary star and a supernova
(C) the residue that is left by a supernova
(D) the core of an ordinary star that houses the thermonuclear reactions
(E) one of billions of meteors that are scattered across the galaxy by a supernova
9. The author is primarily concerned with
(A) speculating about the origins of our solar system
(B) presenting evidence proving the existence of supernovas
(C) discussing the nuclear reaction that occurs in the core of a star
(D) describing the sequence of scientific events
(E) disproving a theory about the causes of supernovas
*For Q1 look line 5 in my opinion D)Q2 line 1 think it is C)Q 3 E)Q4 think it is analogy cause compares the star with a balloonQ5 line 1 of third paragraph think it is B)6-A)7-E) first paragraph8-B) a stage between a star and a supernova9 gues it is C) but more sure about D)
*My answers are: AEECEABBD
*I got:1. A 2. C 3. E 4. D 5. E 6. A 7. E 8. B 9. D
*I got ACEABAEBC
*B - This is probably A
D - It's every 200 years so every other century
E - This can't be anything but E. They're made by implosion then explosion of stars not anything else
A - the author compares it to a balloon
E - B may be true but it can't be inferred ie "must be true" only E works bc of the heavier elements found in the meteors
E - A doesn't seem to be implied to me. You can see a supernova w/ ur
naked eye bc it's brighter than 100 billion suns or something. that's easier than using xray telescopes. E works bc b4 the core elements are shot out they have to be imploded on inside the neutron according to the text
E - E is the first step. after it implodes on itself it explodes on the universe or something
B - we all got B for 8 so I need not explain
D - C is the trap door answer. The author discusses it but it is the primary concern of the author. D is the primary concern.
These are my guesses since I can't google the OA at work
*My answer (16 mins) D C E C E D E B D
*my answers A C D C A A D D DOA and OE plz?
