Star Quality

A new anti-cheating system for counting the judges&39; scores in ice skating is flawed, according to leading sports specialists. Ice skating&39;s governing body announced the new rules last week after concerns that a judge at the Winter Olympics may have been unfairly influenced.<br>

Initially the judges in the pairs figure-skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair, even though they had a fall during their routine. But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for failing to reveal that she had been put under pressure to vote for the Russians. The International Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up (亚军 ).<br>

The ISU, skating&39;s governing body, now says it intends to change the rules. In the future 14 judges will judge each event, but only 7 of their scores- selected at random--will count.<br>

The ISU won&39;t finally approve the new system until it meets in June but already UK Sport, the British Government&39;s sports body, has expressed reservations. "I remain to be convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone concerned with ethical sport is looking for," says Jerry Bingham, UK Sport&39;s head of ethics (伦理) .<br>

A random system can still be manipulated, says Mark Dixon, a specialist on sports statistics from the Royal Statistical Society in London. "The score of one or two judges who have been nobbled (受到贿赂) may still be in the seven selected."<br>

Many other sports that have judges, including diving, gymnastics, and synchronized swimming,have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores. If a judge was under pressure to favour a particular team, they would tend to give it very high scores and mark down the opposition team, so their scores wouldn&39;t count. It works for diving, says Jeff Cook, a member of the international government body&39;s technical committee. "If you remove those at the top and bottom you&39;re left with those in the middle, so you&39;re getting a reasonable average."<br>

Since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, diving has tightened up in its system still further. Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions. Neither panel knows the scores given by the other. "We have done this to head off any suggestion of bias," says Cook.<br>

Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options. "This should involve examining the way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating (裁定) on matter of style. and presentation," he says.<

请根据短文内容,回答题。

Black Holes

Most scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate. A black hole in the universe is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere (球体). Astronomers(天文学家) think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite (无限的 ) density (稠密 ) . This single point is called a singularity (奇点). If the singularity theory is correct, it means that when a massive star collapses, all the material in it disappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely dense point.<br>

Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.<br>

Although black holes do exist, they are difficult to observe. These are the reasons.<br>

No light or anything else comes out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope.<br>

In astronomical terms, black holes are truly. For example, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon (视界) only 18 miles across.<br>

The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillion (万亿) miles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.<br>

In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist. There are still answers to be found, however, so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.<
