答案与题解:
1. C 短文的第一和第二段提供了答案。第一段第一句说,特大质量的黑洞能够撕裂靠近它们的恒星;第二段的第二句说,由于它们之间力量的悬殊,恒星内部会发生核爆炸。第五段提及黑洞吞噬恒星的问题。C的内容文章中没有找到,所以应该选择C.
2. A 该段告诉我们,两种研究的焦点在于是否会引起核爆炸。所以,A是正确选择。
3. D 第四段告诉我们,模拟实验发现,整个的条件会引起核爆炸,这将彻底毁灭恒星,但恒星的一些物质会被强力的爆炸抛出黑洞。所以,A、B、C三个选择的内容都是正确的说法,而D不是。
4. C 第五段中its matter starts swirling into the hole itself,这里的its matter指的是the star‘smatter,即被爆炸抛出黑洞的恒星物质。所以应选C.
5. B 根据全篇语境,disruption在这里的意思是第一段提到的tearing apart.
