[解析]
(1)C.细节理解题。文章第一、二、三段提到,当一个星体的大部分能量耗尽,它就开始走向衰落死亡,首先是爆炸,由于爆炸,外层物质被抛散到太空中,并且发出非常耀眼的光线,然后它会慢慢向中心塌陷变小。因此,当一个星体死亡时,它会发生爆炸并变得更小。故选C.
(2)D.细节理解题。从第四段The more the star shrinks,the stronger the gravity inside it becomes.Soon the star is very tiny,and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong.In fact,the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star!可以看出由于引力的加大,形体不断收缩,变得很小,引力大到难以置信,光都被拉入到星体内部,因此A、B、C都是黑洞形成的因素之一,根据The star becomes black when there is no light.(当没有光的时候星星变成黑色。)一句可知D选项错误。故选D.
(3)A.推理判断题。从文章第一段的A black hole is created when a large star burns out.Like our sun,stars are unbelievably hot furnaces that burn their own matter as fuel.When most of the fuel is used up,the star begins to die.当一颗大恒星燃烧殆尽时,就会产生一个黑洞。就像我们的太阳一样,恒星是令人难以置信的热熔炉,它们把自己的物质当作燃料燃烧。当大部分燃料用完时,恒星开始死亡。可知,星体燃烧的大部分能量之后,就开始死亡,并首先产生爆炸,故选A.
(4)B.标题判断题。文章的首句和全文都可以看出,文章主要内容是黑洞是如何形成的。选项B.How Do Black Holes Come into Being?(黑洞是怎样形成的?)为最佳标题。故选B.
