参考答案:

1． C dark matter和dark energy都是forces，其他三个选项意思都搭不上。第二段讨论同一话题时用了the major forces，更说明选forces的正确性。

2． A know little(／something／much)about是固定搭配，被动态就是little is known about.

3． C 本题要填account for(占……份额)，因为后面接的是0．4 percent。wait f_or(等待)， long for(渴望)和look for(寻找)与0．4 percent都搭不上。

4． B 从意义上判断，本题用的词组应该是for some time。英语很少使用for some schedule， for some duration这种搭配。习惯上说for some period oftime。不说for some period。

5．D play a role in是固定搭配。display(陈列)，delay(延误)，relay(接力传送)意思搭配不上。

6．D 谓语动词用的是过去式appeared，只有说not long ago才对。before只胄黪饰发生在过去动作之前的另一个动作。试比较：
He saw her three days ago．、
(错旬：He saw herthreedays before．)
He said he had seen her three days before．
(错旬：He saidhe had seen her three days ago．)

7． A 前面出现Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)，只有填入beginning上下文的意思才连贯。
8． C 从意义上判断，本题填的应该是important，fundamental，necessary之类的形容词。

9． B 若能理解下文的You can think of ordinary matter as a froth of an ocean of dark matter，就知道选little或few是不对。matter是不可数名词，不能用many修饰。选most在用法上、意思上都是正确的。

10．B 本段第一句是Dark matter dominated the formation of structure in the early universe．中间几句属扩展部分。最后一句为结论句，内容与第一句相呼应，所以选formation

11．A “Without…，would”是虚拟语气的常用句型。

12．C 本段第二旬说Itcannotbe seen ordetected…据此判断，第一句中应该填unknown。
13．D 本段第三句说从暗物质对天体产生的效应能推断暗物质的存在。据此，本题要填directly。

14．A 最高级adj．+复数n．+of a11”是固定搭配。据此，本题要填all。

15．B 本题要求填入引导主语从句的连词that。其他三个选项，意思与上下文都接不上。
