Passage 14
Three man traveling on a train began a conversation about the world’s greatest wonders. “In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids” are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“ I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said,” But I don’t think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They are taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in world?” The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that’s a simple thing.”
“Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it says hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it’s winter or summer?”
三个人在谈论世界上的伟大的奇观。 其中一个人认为修建于几千年前的金字塔是最让人叹服的世界奇迹。其理由是：当时只有很简单的原始工具，并没有我们现代化的设备和技艺

精湛的工程师。第二个人则认为电子计算机比金字塔更为奇妙。因为在它们的控制下人类已
经登上月球并安全返回， 并且计算机的运算速度实在惊人。第三个人的观点非常独特，他认为暖水瓶是最让人不可思议的发明。其他两个岁他的话感到十分诧异。问其原因时， 那个人说：冬天，把热水倒进去，他就能保温；夏天把冷饮倒进去，它就能保持冰凉。它怎么知道是夏天还是冬天？”

Passage 1(美国及美国人的由来)
The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country , it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.
When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern of North America were mostly from England. It is for the reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.
美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。它北邻加拿大，南接墨西哥。虽然美国是一个大国，但它不是世界上最大的。在2000年，它的人口超过2.22亿。
19 / 6
这片土地刚从英国独立出来，第一次成为一个国家的时候，只有十三个州， 每个州在美
国国旗上由一颗星米代表。这些州都是在东部。当这个国家不断向西扩大，就增加了新的州， 同时它们也出现在国旗上。很长一段时间，美国有48个州， 可是到1959年，国旗上有多了2颗星， 分别代表阿拉斯加和夏威夷。
印第安人是如今叫做美国的这块土地上的最初的居民。现在在各国各地仍然居住着许多这些原始居民的后裔。有时人们说印第安人才是“真正的美国人”。不过，扣扣一零七八二五二四四九 大部分美国人是来自世界各地。那些最早大批来到北美东海岸建立家园的人大部分来自英格兰，也是由于这个原因，美国的国语为英语，而它的文化习俗也与英国的更为相像。

A． thirteen;1959 B. fifty;1959 C. fifty, this land first became a nation D.fifty;1964 4. Why is English the language of America? 为什么美国的国语是英语？
A．Because English is the native language of the Indians. 因为土著人的语言是英语。 B. Because most Americans come from all over the world. C. Because Canada is America’s nearest neighbor.
D. Because most of the people who first settled in America were from England. 5. The best title for the passage is “ ”. 这篇文章最好的标题是美国。 A. the States of America B. The language of America
C. The United States of America D. The Culture and Customs of America KEY: BABAA
Passage 2 （科学家）
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
是什么使一个普通人成为科学家？他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗？答案是否定
的。不是因为科学家使用的工具，而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查，发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而，科学家比这更进一步，他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案，并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点。
20 / 6
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。
他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功。如果条件不同，科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的扣扣一零七八二五二四四九。这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计算，再进行调查研究的测试。
11. What makes a scientist according to the passage? 根据这篇文章的观点科学家是如何来的？ A. The tools he uses. 的方法
C. His way of learning. D. The various tools he uses. 12. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show _______. “然而，科学家比这更进一步??”作者这么说是为了说明什么？ A. the importance of information B. the importance of thinking C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people科学家与普通人的区别 D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs
13. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.一项伟大的科学理论应该是怎么样的？ A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times 不仅只在一种条件下一次可行，而是要在同样的条件下一直可行。 B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions C. can be used for many purposes D. leave no room for improvement
14. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.作者引用爱因斯坦的例子是为了证明什么？
A. that measurements are 答案s to success in science B. that accuracy of mathematics
C. that the investigations are important in science调查研究在科学领域十分重要。 D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations 15. What is the main idea of the passage? 这篇文章的中心意思是什么？ A. The theory of relativity. B. Exactness is the core of science.
C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.
D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the 答案s to the making of a scientist. 确切性和使用工具的方法是成为科学家的重要因素。 KEY：BCACD

B. The way he uses his tools. 他使用工具
Passage 3 （书商）
One day a bookseller (书商) let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to see the doctor，” said his wife. “No”, he said, “I’ll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I’ll ask him about my foot. If you I go to see him, I’ll have to pay him.”
On the next day the doctor came into the shop for some books. When the bookseller was gettinghim ready, he told the doctor about his bagd foot. The doctor look at it.
“You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put somthing on it,” said the deoctor.
He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. “Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night，”he said.
“ Thank you,” said the bookseller. “And now, sir, here are your books.” “How much？”said the doctor. “Two pounds.”
“Good,”said the doctor. “I shall not have to pay you nothing.” “Why？”asked the bookseller.
“I told you about your foot. I want two pounds for that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. But when I go to their houses, I want two pounds. And i came here, didn’t I？”
一天一位书商被一大箱书砸到了脚。他妻子说：“去看医生吧。”他说“不，我要等医生下次到店里来，然后他帮我看脚。如果到他那里看，我就给付给他诊金了。”
第二天医生到书店里来买书。书商把书找齐，然后把脚伤告诉了医生。医生给他看脚。 医生说：“你每晚要用热水泡脚，然后上药。他拿出一张纸写下药方，说：“买这种药，然后每晚睡前涂在脚上。”
书商说：“谢谢。那么，先生，这是您的书。” 医生问：“多少钱？” “2英镑。”
“太好了，”医生说：“我就不用付您钱了。” “为什么？”书商问道。
“我给你看了脚，收你两英镑。像那样的小伤，如果到我那里看我只收一英镑。但是要我出诊，就收两英镑。而我到你这里来给你看病了，不是吗？”
