ARCTIC PASSION

Cruising over the pack-ice with our heavy snowmobiles, my guide, Arne, and I looked out across the dazzling expanse of snow. We had come to the tiny, remote island of Svalbard, northeast of Greenland, to photograph polar bears, but now we were exhausted with searching. The day had been particularly frustrating, as every bear we'd slowly approached had run away from us. Fed up and hungry, we decided to abandon our search for the afternoon and stop for a snack beside one of the many tall, blue icebergs.

As always, a good meal was followed by an intense desire to sleep, and we decided to give in to it, even though the temperature was down to -30°C. Sleeping at the same time would be unwise with our furry friends around, so we decided to take it in turns. As Arne slept, I scanned the snow with my binoculars, looking for anything moving. An hour passed, I was just about to wake my companion, when I noticed a dot on the horizon. I wiped the lens, but it was still there. I began to make out the typical mayonnaise colour and the striding walk - it was a polar bear, and it was coming our way.

I awoke Arne instantly and he confirmed that it was a bear and it was indeed heading in our direction. For the next thirty minutes, the bear continued on its direct course towards us, which was strange because the wind was blowing our scent straight towards him, so he must have been aware of our presence.

When he was a couple of hundred metres away, I decided to lie down in the snow so as to get a better photograph. 'You realise you look just like seal like that, don't you?' warned Arne, for once sounding a bit worried. Seals are what polar bears like to have for dinner. Onwards the bear came, and by now I could hear the crunching sound of his feet on the ice. It struck me that this was a big bear, travelling at some speed. I turned to speak to Arne, and saw him pulling a gun from his bag. Polar bears are incredibly unpredictable animals, and to be in their environment without protection is foolish. But Arne had strict instructions from me only to use the gun to frighten the bear away, and then only if necessary.

By now the animal was only 25 metres away and the atmosphere had changed. Arne sat up on the snowmobile calmly awaiting the bear's next move, while I struggled to change the film in my camera with my cold, shaking hands. Then, just as I was thinking that there was no escape, as I tensed myself for the inevitable attack, the bear veered off to one side and then went straight past us. 'Look!' whispered Arne. 'Behind us!' I turned and saw a second creamy head with two black eyes peering around the corner of an iceberg a few hundred metres behind us. A female bear. Our friend's goal had clearly been in his sight the whole time, and we were the only thing between him and his beloved.

BLACK HOLES

When stars larger than our sun die, they go out with a bang. These stars die in a supernova, a huge explosion which is more powerful than any other event in the universe. If the sun (over one million km wide) exploded in a supernova, the incredible power of the explosion would crush the sun to a size of only 3 km! At this point, something very important would happen. As objects get closer, the power of gravity increases. In a supernova, the atoms of a star get pushed so closely together, and their gravity becomes so strong that nothing can escape them, not even light. At this point, the star has become a black hole.

A black hole is an object with incredibly strong gravity. It basically acts like a giant drain in space, sucking up anything that happens to be near it. Scientists suspected the existence of black holes for a long time. But since not even light can escape them, they are basically invisible, and their existence is very hard to prove. Scientists have proven their existence in two ways. Sometimes, scientists will find a star that has a very strange movement. It will appear to be orbiting another object, but that object can’t be seen. In this case, scientists can guess that the invisible object is a black hole. [A]

The other way in which scientists can prove the existence of black holes is a bit more complicated. As matter gets sucked into a black hole, it starts to spin in a circle, just as water does when it goes down the drain in your bathroom. As the matter gets closer and closer to the black hole, it spins faster and faster, and begins to heat up as a result. Thus when scientists find spinning circles of extremely hot matter, they can again guess that a black hole is at the center of this. [B]

While black holes suck in and destroy anything that gets too close to them, they play a very important role in the universe. Scientists believe that giant black holes are at the centre of every galaxy in the universe. [C] Each galaxy is held together by the intense gravity of the giant black hole at its centre. Without these black holes, galaxies would not form, and life as we know it would not exist. [D]

61. Based on the information in paragraph 1, the term supernova can best be explained as: _______ .

A. a star that is several times larger than our sun.

B. an object whose gravity is incredibly strong

C. the act of crushing a star to a very small size

D. a huge explosion at the end of a star's life

62. According to paragraph 1, in order to form a black hole, the atoms in a star must ___________ .

A. spin in a circular motion B. be packed extremely close together

C. reach extremely high temperatures D. be unable to put out light

63. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. In a supernova, gravity can become so strong that not even light can escape.

B. Supernovas happen when the atoms of a star get pushed so closely together that not even light can escape.

C. In a star, atoms can get pushed so closely together by gravity that not even light can escape the star.

D. During a supernova, atoms are tightly packed together, intensifying their gravity to the point where not even light can escape.

64. The word "suspected" in the passage is closest in meaning to ___________ .

A. feared B. discovered C. investigated D. guessed

65. The word "them" in the passage refers to ___________ .

66. According to the passage, some stars can help scientists infer the existence of black holes because ___________ .

A. they appear to be orbiting an unseen object B. they emit no light

C. they explode in supernovas D. they have extremely strong gravity

67. The author mentions the "drain in your bathroom" in order to ___________ .

A. show that black holes suck up much of the water in the universe.

B. compare the speeds of objects entering a black hole

C. illustrate the motion of matter entering a black hole

D. suggest that there are many similarities between drains and black holes

68. According to the passage, all of the following happen to matter entering a black hole EXCEPT ___________ .

A. It is heated to high temperatures. B. It moves at a high speed

C. It emits all of its light D. It moves in a circular motion.

69. Look at the four squares [ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. Choose the best square to add the sentence to the passage.

These super massive black holes are hugely important.

A. [B] B. [A] C. [C] D. [D]

70. Which of the sentences below DOESN'T express the important idea in the passage.

A. Black holes are formed in the death of stars that are several times larger than our sun.

B. Black holes absorb everything that comes near them and will eventually destroy the universe.

C. Black holes are essential parts of the universe, and central to the formation of galaxies.

D. While the existence of black holes cannot be proven directly, they can be found by observing other objects near them.
