专八模拟试题（改错篇10） What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer the question,as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon __1__are adequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2 _a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3 __escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4 __exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is onlyspace—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5__ The theory is that some stars explode when their density increasesto a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of __6_whose __its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking maybe so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7__size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8_mass _gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9pull __And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10_what _　 答案：1 将as 改为since或者because。在表示原因的连接词中，只有as引导的原因状语从句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。2 将adequate 改为inadequate，或者在are后加not。从逻辑上分析，因为我们拥有的科学术语“不充足”，所以才无法回答这个问题，所以用否定形式。3 在which 前加into。这是一个定语从句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物质可以掉进去的地方”，所以定语从句应该为“into which matter has fallen”。4 将but 改为 so。 上文已提到“连光都无法从黑洞中逃出”，所以我们根本无法看到黑洞。这里应该是因果关系，而不是转折关系。5 将thus改为so。这句话的意思是“那只是空间—或者我们认为它只是空间”。so做 think 的宾语，thus 只能做连词，不能做宾语。6 将which 改为whose。这个定语从句的意思是“它是一颗星，其密度非常大，由于自身的引力，它在不断地收缩”。matter 属于star，所以关系代词应该用whose。7 去掉in。result为不及物动词，意为“形成了”，而“result in sth。”意为“导致某结果”。8 将masses 改为mass。mass 可指“大量的物质”，而“the masses”特指“劳动群众”，用在此处不妥。9 将ideas 改为idea。“idea”在表达“印象”时，为不可数名词，不可以用复数。10 将no改为any。分析便知，任何在黑洞附近的东西都会被吸进去。 专八模拟试题（改错篇9） Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__appearance
