哦,我想明白了,以前学过天体物理学,把这个问题想复杂了^_^ 其实只要通过句法分析就能得出答案。 第一段:After evidence was obtained in the 1920's that the universe is expanding, it became reasonable to ask: will the universe continue to expand indefinitely, or is there enough mass in it for the mutual attraction of its constituents to bring the expansion to a halt? It can be calculated that the critical density of matter needed to brake the expansion and "close" the universe is equivalent to three hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. But the density of the observable universe-luminous matter in the form of galaxies-comes to only a fraction of this. If the expansion of the universe is to stop, there must be enough invisible matter in the universe to exceed the luminous matter in density by a factor of roughly 70. 115题:It can be inferred from information presented in the passage that if the density of the universe were equivalent ro significantly less than three hydrogen atoms per cubic meter, which of the following would be ture as a consequence? (A) Luminosity would be a true indicator of mass. (B) Different regions in spiral galaxies would rotate at the same velocity. (C) The universe would continue to expand indefinitely. (D) The density of the invisible matter in the universe would have to be more than 70 times the density of the luminous matter. (E) More of the invisible matter in spiral galaxies would have to be located in their nuclei than in their outer regions. 答案选(C) 我的理解:红句说宇宙停止膨胀的密度是3个氢原子每立方米;蓝句说能观察到的光物质的密度只是这一个值的一小部分;绿句说如果宇宙现在停止膨胀,那么宇宙中暗物质的密度就要比光物质的密度大70倍(exceed...by a factor of... 的意思不知把握对不对?),也就是说,暗物质和光物质的总密度要等于3个氢原子每立方米。如果事实上宇宙中暗物质的质量并没有设想的那么大,那么暗物质和光物质的总密度就会小于3个氢原子每立方米,也即是115题问的那种情况。然后不要再往下想物理学的东西了,再看一遍绿句的因果关系:如果宇宙要停止膨胀,那么就要有足够多的暗物质。取非,如果没有那么多暗物质,宇宙就会继续膨胀。 从这一题能体会到,做阅读题的时候千万不要把出题人想得太高深,他们往往不是通过具体知识,而是通过文章的句法结构来出题的。 |
