答案與題解:
1. C 短文的第一和第二段提供了答案。第一段第一句說,特大質量的黑洞能夠撕裂靠近它們的恒星;第二段的第二句說,由于它們之間力量的懸殊,恒星內部會發生核爆炸。第五段提及黑洞吞噬恒星的問題。C的內容文章中沒有找到,所以應該選擇C.
2. A 該段告訴我們,兩種研究的焦點在于是否會引起核爆炸。所以,A是正確選擇。
3. D 第四段告訴我們,模擬實驗發現,整個的條件會引起核爆炸,這將徹底毀滅恒星,但恒星的一些物質會被強力的爆炸拋出黑洞。所以,A、B、C三個選擇的內容都是正確的說法,而D不是。
4. C 第五段中its matter starts swirling into the hole itself,這里的its matter指的是the star‘smatter,即被爆炸拋出黑洞的恒星物質。所以應選C.
5. B 根據全篇語境,disruption在這里的意思是第一段提到的tearing apart.
