2021年公共英语五级考试阅读模拟练习(7) 　　1. What do both theories assume to be true? 　　[ A ] That new material is continually being formed. 　　[ B ] That，in time，the universe will contract 　　[ C ] That the universe is expanding at present. 　　[ D ] That “a big bang” started the expansion. 　　2. According to Lemaitre, the separate galaxies formed _______。 　　[ A ] during a pause in the expansion of the universe 　　[ B ] at the time of the primeval explosion 　　[ C ] and will continue to form for ever 　　[ D ] when all the matter in the universe was all concentrated in one small mass 　　3. What is the basic difference between the two classes of theories? 　　[ A ] It concerns the place and time of the formation of matter. 　　[ B ] It is whether the universe will continue to expand or not. 　　[ C ] It is the current state of the universe. 　　[ D ] The variations on evolutionary theories cause the difference. 　　4. According to Hoyle and his friends at Cambridge, _______。 　　[ A ] the explosion occurred much earlier than Lemaitre suggested 　　[ B ] it is hard to see how matter could be formed in this way 　　[ C ] the expansion of the universe is not a real one 　　[ D ] new material is continually being created 　　5.
