Dark Forces Dominate Universe
The earth, moon, sun and all visible stars in the sky make up less than one percent of the universe. Almost all the rest is dark matter and dark energy, unknown forces that(51)astronomers.
Observations in recent years have changed the basic(52)of how the universe evolved and have indicated how little is known about the major forces and substances that(53)our world.
Astronomers now know that luminous (发光的) matter -- stars, planets and hot gas -- accounts(54)only about 0.4 percent of the universe. Non-luminous components, such as black holes and intergalactic (星系间的) gas,(55)up 3.6 percent. The rest is either dark matter, about 23 percent, or dark energy, about 73 percent.
Dark matter, sometimes(56)'cold dark matter,' has been known for some time. Only recently have researchers come to understand the key role it(57)in the formation of stars, planets and even people.
'We(58)our very existence to dark matter,' said physicist Paul Steinhardt and a co-author of a review on dark matter which(59)not long ago in the journal Science.
'Dark matter dominated the structure(68)in the early universe,' Steinhardt said. 'For the first few billion years dark matter contained most of the mass of the universe. You can think of ordinary matter(61)a froth (泡沫) of an ocean of dark matter. The dark matter clumps (结成块) and the ordinary matter falls into it. That(62)to the formation of the stars and galaxies (星系).'
Without dark matter, 'there would be virtually no structures in the universe.'
The nature of dark matter is(63). It cannot be seen or detected directly. Astronomers know it is there because of its(64)on celestial (天体的) objects that can be seen and measured.
But the most dominating force of all in the universe is called dark energy, a recently(65)power that astronomers say is causing the galaxies in the universe to separate at a faster and faster speed.

单项选择题
Is the News Believable? Unless you have gone through the experience yourself, or watched a loved one's struggle, you really have no idea just how desperate cancer can make you. You pray, you rage, you bargain with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope, no matter how remote, of a second chance at life. For a few excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the whole world was a cancer patient and that all humankind had been granted a reprieve (痛苦减轻). Triggered by a front-page medical news story in the usually reserved New York Times, all anybody was talking about — on the radio, on television, on the Internet, in phone calls to friends and relatives — was the report that a combination of two new drugs could, as the Times put it, 'cure cancer in two years.' In a matter of hours patients had jammed their doctors' phone lines begging for a chance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer scientists raced to the phones to make sure everyone knew about their research too, generating a new round of headlines. The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen (他莫昔芬) — and offering it to patients getting the placebo (安慰剂) — because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine (子宫的) cancer). Two weeks later came the New York Times' report that two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever. It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There are no miracle cancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufacturer can offer is some very interesting molecules, and the only cancers they have cured so far have been in mice. BY the middle of last week, even the TV talk-show hosts who talked most about the news had learned what every scientist already knew: that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans. 'The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse,' Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer Institute, told the Los Angeles Times. 'We have cured mice of cancer for decades — and it simply didn't work in people.'According to the passage, a person suffering from cancer willA.give up any hope.B.pray for the health of his loved ones.C.go out of his way to help others.D.seize every chance of survival.
