According to the recent study,Quasar J0529-4351 has a huge "stomach".Like other quasars,it keeps taking in gas and dust in the space.In fact,it has the largest accretion disk (in the universe.It "eats"about as much as the sun's mass (every day,which makes it grow very fast. And we shouldn't be surprised at how bright it is,because the brightness has much to do with how much it "cats”.

Scientist have already learned that a black hole is formed when a star collapses (on itself. And it grows by taking in other objects,including other black holes.But they still don't know how super-massive black holes come into being.Scientists hope that studying quasars like this one will help them understand more about super-massive black holes.They also believe that there are probably more unusual quasars out there,waiting to be discovered 61.When did scientists identify Quasar J0529-4351? A.1n1957 B.In1980. C.In2023 D.In2024. 62.What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Quasar J0529-4351. B.The foreground star. C.The study. D.Nature Astronomy. 63.Which of the following is TRUE about Quasar J0529-4351? A.It is 12 billion light years from the sun B.It is 500 trillion times brighter than the sun. C.It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun. D.It is about 19 billion times larger than TON 618. 64.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A.When a star collapses B.How a black hole grows. C.Why scientists study quasars. D.What will be discovered next. 65.Which could be the best title for the text? A.A Newly Seen Quasar B.Secrets of the Universe 6 C.Super-massive Black Holes D.Brightest Quasar Ever Seen 第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使 短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分) Improving your memory doesn't have to be a difficult thing.66.
