21、   Star scientists have taken the first ever picture of a black hole, which is from a far away galaxy (银河系). It is 40 billion km across-three million times the size of the Earth-and has been described by scientists as "a monster".

The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes (望远镜) across the world.

Details have come out today in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Prof Heino Falcke, says "It is one of the heaviest black holes that we think there is. It is a real monster."

The picture shows a quite bright "ring of fire", as Prof Falcke describes it. The bright halo is caused by superheated gas fling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy-which is why it can be seen so far away from Earth.

The dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black holes, which is an object that has such a large gravitational (万有引力的) pull, not even light can escape.

【1】The black hole is ________ times the size of the Earth.

24、   British people are well known for the amount（量）of tea that they drink. Each person in the UK drinks about 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections（阶层）of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time British ships were exploring（探索）the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available（可购得的）to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon found that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving it a special taste.

In the 1800s, tea was still a thing enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. People drink tea with a snack around 4 p.m. so that they don’t feel hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea went down as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops where you could buy and drink tea, started to appear（出现）across the country. At the start of the 20th century, people of all sections began to drink tea.

【1】When did black tea arrive in Britain?

A．In the 1600s.

B．In the early 1700s.

C．In the late 1800s.

D．At the start of the 20th century.

【2】Why did tea become cheaper later?

A．Because fewer people drank it.

B．Because more tea arrived in Britain.

C．Because it was no longer a drink just for rich people.

D．Because tearooms appeared.

【3】What’s the right order of the following events?

a. Tea is drunk by people of all sections.

b. People drank tea with milk and sugar.

c. British ships brought tea to Britain.

d. People bought and drank tea in tearooms.

A．a-c-b-d

25、   One night in November, Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in 【1】 theatre. Becoming a  【2】  (violin) is not a small achievement for him.

But this time, something 【5】 (go) wrong. One of the strings(弦) on 【6】 (he) violin broke. We thought t【7】 he would have to stop the concert. 【8】 he didn't.
