27、 Came into Existence How the first stars formed from this dust and gas has been a burning question for years，but a state-of-the-art computer simulation now offers the most detailed picture yet of how these first stars in the universe came into existence，researchers say. The composition of the early

28、universe was quite different from that of today，and the physics that governed the early universe were also somewhat simpler.Dr.Naoki Yoshida and colleagues in Japan and the U.S.incorporated these conditions of the early universe，sometimes referred to as the "cosmic dark ages，"to simulate t

29、he formation of an astronomical object that would eventually shine its light into this darkness. The result is a detailed description of the formation of a protostar-the early stage of a massive primordial star of our universe，and the researchers'computer simulation，which has been called a "

30、;cosmic Rosetta Stone."sets the bar for further investigation into the star formation process.The question of how the first stars evolved is so important because their formations and eventual explo-sions provided the seeds for subsequent stars to come into being. According to their simulation，g

31、ravity acted on minute density variations in matter，gases，and the mysterious"dark matter''of the universe after the Big Bang in order to form this early stage of a star-a protostar with a mass of just one percent of our sun.The simulation reveals how pre-stellar gases would have actuall

32、y evolved under the simpler physics of the early universe to form this protostar. Dr.Yoshida's simulation also shows that the protostar would likely evolve into a massive star capableof synthesizing heavy elements，not just in later generations of stars，but soon after the Big Bang. "This gen

33、eal picture of star formation，and the ability to compare how stellar objects form in different time periods and regions of the universe，will eventually allow investigation into the originsof life and planets，"said Lars Hernquist，a Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University and a coauthor of t

34、his latest report."The abundance of elements in the universe has increased as stars haveaccumulated，"he says，"and the formation and destruction of stars continues to spread these ele. ments further across the universe.So when you think about it.a11 of the elements in our bodies origin

35、ally formed from nuclear reactions in the centers of stars，long ago." Their simulation of the birth of a protostar in the early universe signifies a key step toward theambitious goal of piecing together the formation of an entire primordial star and of predicting the massand properties of these

36、 first stars of the universe.More powerful computers，more physical data，andan even larger range will be needed for further calculations and simulations，but these researchers hope to eventually extend this simulation to the point of nuclear reaction in.itiation-when a stellar ob. ject becomes a true

37、star. "Dr.Yoshida has taken the study of primordial star formation to a new level with this simulation，but it still gets us only to the halfway point towards our final goal.It is like laying the foundation of a skyscraper，"said Volker Bromm，Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the Universit

38、y of Tex. as，Austin and the author of a companion article."We must continue our studies in this area to un-derstand how the initially tiny protostar grows，layer by layer，to eventually form a massive star.Buthere，the physics become much more complicated and even more computational resources are

39、needed." 31.According to the first two paragraphs，the early universe_. A.was governed by simpler physics B.got fewer stars shinning in it C.started over 13 billion years ago D.was composed in a way similar to that of today 32.What can the state-of-the.art computer simulation tell us about？ A.Ho

44、ce.At that height （10，499 feet，or 3，200 meters），the ice is usually permanent，but 1991 had been an especially warm year.The mountain ice had melted more than iust usual and so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward.The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition except a wound on the he

45、ad.remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark （樹皮）and a holder for arrows. Who was the man？How and when had he died？Everybody had a different answer to th

46、ese questions.Some people thought that it was from this century，perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I，since several soldiers had already been found in this area.A Swiss woman who believed it might be her father，who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had ne

47、ver been found.The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older，maybe even a thousand years old. With modem dating techniques，the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5，300 years old.Born in about 3300 B.C.，he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At firs

48、t scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence，however，tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder.It left only a tiny hole in his skin，but it caused internal damage and bleeding.He

49、 almost certainly died from this wound，and not from the wound oil the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of battle.It may have been part oi a large war，or he may have beenfightiing bandits.He may even have been a bandit himself. By studying his clothes and tools，scientists

50、 have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died，but he has given usimportant clues to the history of those distant times. 36.The body of the iceman was found in the mountains mainly because_. A.he was lying on the ice B.t

51、wo Germans were climbing mountains C.the melted ice made him visible D.he was just on a mountain pass 37.What can be inferred from paragraph 2？ A.The iceman was killed while working. B.The iceman could have died from the wound in the head. C.The iceman lived a poor life. D.The iceman was struck dead

52、 from behind. 38.All the following are assumptions once made about iceman EXCEPT_. A.he was a soldier in World War I B.he came from Italy C.he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father D.He was born about a thousand years ago 39.The scientists made the deduction that the iceman_. A.was hit in the sho

53、ulder by an arrowhead B.was probably in some kind of a battle C.had got a wound on the back of his head D.has a tiny hole in his skin causing his death. 40.The word"bandits"in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by_. A.robbers B.soldiers C hunters D.shooters 第三篇 Scientists Make Sweet Discov

55、red that cocoa acts like aspirin and that eating a bar of chocolate has also been shown to release endorphins in the body：these chemicals help to reduce pain and stress and make you feel happy. The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans，in about1500 BC，and the

56、 Mayas were drinking unsweetened coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe. In 1544，a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift.Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal.The Spanish were the first to add sugarto their cocoa

57、drink. By the middle of the century，solid chocolate was becoming familiar.In 1765，James Baker and John Hanan opened the first chocolate mill in the United States，introducing chocolate to the average citizen.In 1896，in Switzerland，Daniel Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate-making process and produced the first milk chocolate. Since then，chocolate has grown enormously in p
