die,collapse,and explode.Researchers had previously believed that the size limit was no more than 20 times the mass of our sun because as these stars die,they lose most of their mass through explosions that expel matter and gas swept away by stellar winds.This theory has now been toppled by LB-1,the newly-discovered black hole.Located about 15，000 light years away,it has a mass 70 times greater than our sun,according to a press release from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The findings were published by Chinese researchers in the journal Nature on Wednesday.“Black holes of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy,according to most of the current models of stellar evolution，”said Liu Jifeng,head of the team that made the discovery.“LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible.Now theorists will have to take up the challenge of explaining its formation.”Scientists are now scratching their heads at how LB-1 got so huge.The Chinese team has proposed a number of theories.LB-1s sheer size suggests that it“was not formed from the collapse of only one star”，the study saidinstead,it could potentially be two smaller black holes orbiting each other.Another possibility is that it formed from a“fallback supernova”.This is when a supernovathe last stage of an exploding starejects material during the explosion,which then falls back into the supernova,creating a black hole.This fallback formation is theoretically possible,but scientists have never been able to prove or observe it.If this is how LB-1 formed,then 1 0we may have“direct evidence for this process”for the first time,the study said.There are several types of black holes,and stellar black holes like LB-1 are on the smaller side,according to NASA.Supermassive black holes are much biggerthey can be billions of times the mass of our sun.Scientists believe supermassive black holes may be connected to the formation of galaxies,as they often exist at the center of the massive star systemsbut it is still not clear exactly how,or which form first.()58.Why does the writer write the article?A.To report the great achievement Chinese scientists have made in black hole theory.B.To inform the readers of the basic knowledge about the black hole.C.To share with the readers the new development of the black hole discovery.D.To demonstrate the significance of discovering new black holes for science.()59.Which of the following about LB-1 is true to the passage?A.It is the biggest black hole ever discovered.B.It lost only a small part of its mass through explosion.C.It couldnt have been formed from the collapse of one star.D.Its discovery may lead to some breakthrough in the“fallback formation theory”()60.Which of the following is right according to the passage?A.If the sun in our galaxy dies some of its mass will be taken away by stellar winds.B.A massive supernova will be formed and then exploded if the sun in our galaxy dies.C.“The Milky Way”was formed after a supermassive black hole collapsed and exploded.1 1D.If“the Milky Way”dies,a supermassive black hole will be formed after its death.CBuck did not know that there was trouble ahead.Trouble for every dog with strong muscles and warm long hair,from Seattle to southern California.Some men had found a yellow metal in the Arctic darkness,and thousands of other men were rushing there.These men wanted dogs that were heavy,with strong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in California which was owned by Judge Miller.He was neither a house dog nor a kennel(狗窝)dog.The whole of Judge Millers land was his.Buck was king king over all the crawling,flying things of Judge Millers lands,humans included.His father,Elmo,had been the Judges inseparable companion.And when he died,Buck took his fathers place.He was not so large he weighed only sixty kilogramsfor his mother,Shep,had been a Scottish sheepdog.He had had a good life and he was proud of himself,for he had not become a house dog.Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles,and swimming had made him healthy.This was Buck in the autumn of 1897,when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north.But Buck did not read the newspapers.And he did n
