     "Give me your tired, your poor,
     Your huddled  masses yearning to breathe free…
     Send these, the homeless,…to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
     The Stature of Liberty, with those immigrant-welcoming words by writer Emma Lazarus engraved (刻)
upon it, turns 125 Friday and begins carrying the torch for technology.
     Lady Liberty, whose real given name is "Liberty Enlightening the World," will get we bcameras placed
around her torch, showing live vistas (遠(yuǎn)景) of the New York City skyline and New York Harbor, her
torchand the view looking down. "You don't have to be afraid of her crown, face and historic Fort Wood all from your computer or smartphone," said David Luchsinger. Jane Ahern, the spokeswoman, says
visitors can even see themselves at the statue's base via webcamera, or tell mom and dad back home to
look for them.
     Go to nps.gov/stli to join in the birthday celebration Freday when the five webcameras are due to be
switched on. Also on schedule:125 immigrants are due to be sworn in, Broadway stars will be present
and actress Sigourney Weaver has been tapped to read the Lazarus poem. The public can try to attend
the festivities by taking a ferry. You can also take an e-tour of Lady Liberty online.
     The statue, a gift to the US from the people of France, has become an international symbol fo
democracy and freedom. After 9.11, it was closed for security reasons. The pedestal (基座) reopened
in 2004, and the statue began readmitting visitors in 2009.
     The birthday ceremony is also a temporary farewell. The statue is due to close Saturday for uop to a
year so that new stairways and elevators can be istalled among other improvements. However, Liberty
Island will remain open. Ahern says 86% of visitors to the island never step inside the Statue of Liberty.
1. Via webcamera, vistors to the Statue can probably see the following EXCEPT          .
A. Lady Liberty
B. Fort Wood
C. Themselves
D. Their parents at home
2. The third paragraph mainly tells us about  _____ .
A. Lady Liberty's birthday celebration
B. Broadways stars' performances
C. an open ceremony for webcameras
D. an activety only for visitors online
3. The underlined word "tapped" can be replaced by ____ .
A. striken
B. selected
C. touched
D. monitored
4. What will happen immediately after the celebration?
A. Lady Liberty will close for up to a year.
B. The Statue of Liberty will remain open.
C. Some improvements will be done to the Statue.
D. Most visitors to the island will step into the Statue.

　　TWO teams of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments have found evidence(證據(jù))of a type of black hole that has never been seen before.

　　Roeland Van Der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said last week his group has confirmed(證實) the existence of a midsized black hole in a cluster (group) of stars called M15, about 32,000 light years away.

　　Yan Der Marel said the black hole has about 4,000 times the mass of the sun, which makes it the smallest galactic(銀河的)black hole ever found.

　　Another group, led by Michael Rich of the University of California, Los Angeles, looked into a cluster of stars called GI and found a black hole that has about. 20,000 times the mass of the sun. It is some 2.2 million light years away.

　　Using the motion of stars within the clusters, the astronomers could determine the mass of the star groups and of the black holes. They found that the ratio(rate) of the mass of black holes to the mass of globular (球狀的) clusters (smaller than a galaxy ) was precisely (精確地) the same as the ratio between supermassive (超質(zhì)地的) black holes and galaxies. This suggests a neat, uniform(一致的) universal truth that applies the same mass ratio to black holes of all sizes everywhere, explains Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas, a member of the G1 team.

　　The new discovery may help astronomers answer a basic question: Which came first. galaxies or black holes? Both theories have been proposed and finding intermediatesized(中等規(guī)模的) black holes may help answer that question.

1．The astronomers from ________ American institutes and universities discovered the black holes.

[　　]

A．two
B．three
C．four
D．five

2．Where do the black holes exist?

[　　]

A．In a cluster of stars called M15.

B．In a clusters of stars called G1

C．In clusters of stars of the galaxy.

D．Between the sun and the earth.

3．Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．The scientists determined the mass of the black holes using the motion of stars within the clusters.

B．Midsized black holes can give evidence for the answer to“Which came first, galaxies or black holes”.

C．The ratio of the mass of black holes of all sizes is the same.

D．The ratio of the mass between supermassive black holes and galaxies is larger than that between black holes to the mass of globular clusters.

4．Which is the most proper title of the article?

[　　]

A．Search for the origin of black holes

B．More black holes are discovered

C．Which came first, galaxies or black holes?

D．Search for more black holes

European champion Evgenia Radanova followed her 0.065 seconds behind.
     Another Chinese, Wang Chunju, the world champion in the shortest distance came in third, two-hundredths
of second further behind.
     Yang,25,whose name is tagged with the letter A to distinguish her from her younger teammate and
namesake, Yang Yang ( S),is the overall World Cup winner in this season, with the top points in the 1,000m
and 1,500m.
     In the 1,500m, the younger Yang,24, who won two silver medals in Nagano four years ago, crashed out
while chasing hard after two South Korean teenagers, Ko Gi-Hyun and Choi Eun-Kyung, who eventually
finished first and second. Yang Yang( A) ended up fourth.
