Text A Black Holes
课文简介
本文主要介绍了黑洞的概念,黑洞是怎样产生的,以及有关黑洞的一些研究。
对于黑洞的研究才刚刚起步,因此黑洞对于我们来说还很神秘,需要我们的不断探索。
什么是黑洞? What is a black hole ?
宇宙中有一些点,它们的体积趋向于零而密度变得无穷大。由于具有强大的吸引力,物体只要进入离这些点一定距离内,就会被这强大的吸引力吸收掉,连光线也不例外。因此,没有任何信号能从这个范围内传出,这个范围的边界被称为“视界”(event horizon) .视界里面的情况人类无法看到,所以科学家称之为“黑洞”。
一颗燃烧尽了的恒星由于自身的重力而不断塌陷,最后就会形成黑洞。尽管关于黑洞的理论是正确的,但是科学家一直在寻找黑洞存在的证据。

课文详解
Black Hole
What is a black hole? Well, it's difficult to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate here.Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing ) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape - not even light.So we can't see a black hole.A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter.It is only space - or so we think.How can this happen?
第一部分
Para.1
1 since 引导的是原因状语从句,定语从句we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon 修饰先行词the terms “术语”
inadequate = not enough
2 句中 “ into which” 以及后面的 “ from which” 两个都是引导的定语从句,修饰先行词 a region of space “空间区域”。如果which 在定语从句中作介词的宾语,那么这个介词可以提到从句前,构成“介词+which”引导的定语从句。这里注意两个搭配 fall into ; escape from
3 A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter.It is only space - or so we think.
a strong gravitational pull 一个很强的引力 = gravity
yet = but 但是
so we think.是倒装句,“我们认为如此” ( we think so )
The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they collapse and sometimes a supernova occurs.From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime.Supernova were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.Some people think that the Star of Bethlehem could have been a supernova.The collapse of a star may produce a White Dwarf or a neutron star - a star, whose matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity.But if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun) this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results.Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and a stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole.Any matter near the black hole is sucked in.It is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole.Scientists have called the boundary area around the hole the “event horizon.” We know nothing about events which happen once objects pass this boundary.But in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole.
第二部分
Para .2
4 The theory…a supernova occurs.此句是复合句:that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point 是表语从句; when their density increases to a particular point 是时间状语。
注意to a particular point 是固定搭配表示“达到某一点”
此句讲了超新星supernova产生的步骤,注意有四个不及物动词vi.的用法
explode increase collapse occur
From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime.
which 引导定语从句,修饰light
6.Some people think that the Star of Bethlehem could have been a supernova.
有人认为圣诞星可能是一颗超新星。could have + 过去分词 表示对以前发生的行为或动作的推测。
I could have told you about it, but I don't remember it now.我可能给你说过这件事,但我现在记不得了。
7.The collapse of a star…a star, whose matter is…gravity.
whose 引导非限定性定语从句,修饰star . 注意 so… that 的用法
8.Imagine the earth…a black hole.
该句的主要结构是“imagine… , and you …”而“reduced … to marble ”和“having … pull”分别为过去分词和现在分词短语作定语,修饰the earth.
mass 质量
have some idea 略知一二
For example, if a man fell into a black hole, he would think that he reached the center of it very quickly. However an observer at the event horizon would think that the man never reached the center at all. Our space and time laws don't seem to apply to objects in the area of a black hole. Einstein's relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena. Einstein claimed that matter and energy are interchangeable, so that there is no “absolute” time and space. There are no constants at all, and measurements of time and space depend on the position of the observer. They are relative. We do not yet fully understand the implications of the relativity theory; but it is interesting that Einstein's theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their existence. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes. In August 1977, a satellite was launched to gather data about the 10 million black holes which are thought to be in the Milky Way. And astronomers are planning a new observatory to study the individual exploding stars believed to be black holes.
Para. 3
9.For example, …very quickly
本句是表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。主句谓语动词用would think , if引导的条件状语从句谓语动词用过去时fell .
10.Our space and time laws don't seem to apply to objects in the area of a black hole.
我们的时空法则似乎不适用于黑洞区内的物体。(介词短语作定语)
11.We do not yet…relativity theory; but it is…for their existence.
yet: still
此句中的it为形式主语,实际主语为that引导的主语从句
before引导时间状语从句
12.It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes.
此句是强调句,强调状语only recently. 强调结构为 It is + 被强调部分 + that …
13.a satellite was launched to gather data about the 10 million black holes which are thought to be in the Milky Way. (about引导的介词短语作定语修饰data)
which 引导定语从句修饰 holes
data 的单数为datum
14.Exploding 和believed to be black holes 均为分词作定语,修饰stars
The most convincing evidence of black holes comes from research into binary star systems. Binary stars, as their name suggests, are twin stars whose position in space affects each other. In some binary systems, astronomers have shown that there is an invisible companion star, a “partner” to the one which we can see in the sky. Matter from the one which we can see is being pulled towards the companion star. Could this invisible star, which exerts such a great force, be a black hole? Astronomers have evidence of a few other stars too, which might have black holes as companions.
Para.4
15.The most…affects each other.
as 的用法,引导非限定性定语从句。修饰Binary stars “双星系”
whose 引导定语从句修饰 twin stars
16.下面的几句话中的which 用作定语从句的引导词,可用于性定语从句,也可用于引导非性定语从句。that 则不可用于引导非性定语从句。
The story of black holes is just beginning. Speculations about them are endless. There might be a massive black hole at the center of our galaxy swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate. Mankind may one day meet this fate. On the other hand, scientists have suggested that very advanced technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind. These speculations sound like science fiction. But the theory of black holes in space is accepted by many serious scientists and astronomers. They show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.
第三部分
Para.5
17 There might be…a very rapid rate.
swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate是现在分词短语作定语,修饰hole
at the center of our galaxy 是状语
story 比较真实的故事
fiction 不太真实的故事同义词:novel
18 They show us…space and time.
此句中which 引导限定性定语从句修饰world
注意介词 in 和 from 的用法,它们各自的搭配为 in a way和 different…from
译为:他们给我们展示了一个跟我们自己的截然不同的世界。

First of all let us consider the earth (that is to say, the world) as a planet revolving round the sun.The earth is one of nine planets which move in orbit round the sun.These nine planets, together with the sun, make up what is called our solar systems.How this wonderful system started and what kept it working with such wonderful accuracy is largely a mystery but astronomers tell us that it is only one of millions of similar systems in space, and one of the smallest.
The stars which we see glittering in the sky on a dark and cloudless night are almost certainly the suns of other solar systems more of less like our own, but they are so far away in space that it is unlikely that we shall ever get to know very much about them.About our own solar system, however, we are learning more every day.
Before the American and Russian astronauts made their thrilling journeys into outer space it was difficult for us to realize what our earth looked like from hundreds of thousands of miles away, but the photographs which the astronauts were able to take show us the earth in space looking not very different from what the moon looks like when we look at it from the earth.The earth is, however, very different from the moon, which the American astronauts have found to be without life or vegetation, whereas our earth is very much alive in every respect.The moon, by the way, is called a satellite because it goes round our earth as well as round the sun.In our words, it goes round the sun with our earth.
The surface of our earth is covered by masses of land and larger areas of water.Let us consider the water areas first.The total water area is about three times as large as the land area.The very large separate areas of water are called “oceans” and the lesser areas are called “seas.”
In most of the oceans and seas some of the water is found to be flowing in a particular direction ―that is to say, from one part towards another part of the ocean or sea concerned.The water which is flowing in this manner is said to be moving as a “current.” There are many thousands of currents in the waters of the oceans and seas, but only certain of the stronger and better marked currents are specially named and of great importance.There currents are important because they affect the climate of the land areas close to where they flow and also because they carry large quantities of microscopic animal and vegetable life which forms a large part of the food for fishes.
The nature and characteristics of the surface of the land areas of the earth vary a great deal from area to area and from place to place.The surface of some areas consists largely of high mountains and deep valleys whilst, in other areas, most of the surface consists of plains.If one made a journey over the Continents one world find every kind of surface including mountain ranges, plains, plateaux, deserts, tropical forestlands and empty areas covered permanently by ice and snow.
When thinking and learning about the world we should not forget that our world is the home of a vary great many different people ― peoples with different coloured skins, living very different lives and having very different ideas about a great many important things such as religion, government, education and social behaviour.
The circumstances under which different people live make a great difference between the way in which they live and the way in which we live, and it ought to be our business to try to understand those different circumstances so that we can better understand people of other lands.Above all, we should avoid deciding what we think about people different from ourselves without first having learned a great deal about them and the kind of lives they have to live.It is true to say that the more we learn about other people , the better we understand their ideas and, as a rule, the better we like those people themselves.
