         A binary star is actually a pair of stars that are held together by the force of gravity.Although occasionally the individual stars that compose a binary star can be distinguised,they generally appear as one star.The gravitational pull between the individual stars of a binary star causes one to orbit around the other.From the orbital pattern of a binary,the mass,and the srength of the gravitational force of one star on another determines the orbital pattern of the binary.

        Secientist have discovered stars that seem to orbit around an empty space.It has been suggested that such a star and the empty space really composed a binary star.The empty space is known as a "black hole,"a star with such strong gravitational force that no light is able to get through.Although the existence of black holes has not been proven,the theory of their existence has been around for about two centuries ,since the French mathematician Pierre Simon de Laplace first proposed the concept at the end of the eighteenth century.Scientific interest in this theory has been intense in the last few decades.However,currently the theory is unproven.Black holes can only be potentially identified based on the interactions of objects around them,as happens when a potential black hole is part of a binary star;they,of course,cannot be seen because of the inability of any light to escape the star's powerful gravity.

b.tied

c.celebrated

d.differentiated

3.According to the passage,what happens as a result of the gravitational force between the stars?

a.One star circles the other.

b.The mass of the binary star increases.

c.A black hole is destroyed.

d.The gravitational force decreases.

4.The word"proportion"in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

a.Contrast

b.Ratio

c.Inversion

d.Force

5.A "black hole"in line 9 is

a.an empty space around which nothing orbits

b.a star with close to zero gravity

c.a star whose gravitational force blocks the passage of light

d.an empty space so far away that no light can reach it

6.Which of the following statements about black holes is NOT supported by the passage?

a.A black hole can have a star orbiting around it.

b.A binary star can be composed of a black hole and a visible star.

c.All empty space contains black holes.

d.The gravitational pull of a black hole is strong.

7.The word"get"in line 9 could best be replaced by

a.pass

b.sink

c.jump

d.see

8.Which of the following is implied in the passage about the theory of black holes?

a.No reputable scientists believe it.

b.It has only recently been hypothesized.

c.At least some scientists find it credible.

d.Scientists are hoping to see a black hole in order to prove the theory.

9.The word"intense'in line 12 is closest in meaning to

a.briliant

b.intermittent

c.bright

d.strong

10.This passage wpuld probably be assigned reading in a course on

a.botany

b.astrophysics

c.geology

d.astrology

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
