Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?C. Tom was too young to make friends. Passage 79What makes

11、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 makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.

12、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 t

13、o fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists 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

14、 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 o

15、f relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteins 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 hi

16、s investigations. (263 words)16. What makes a scientist according to the passage? _.B.The way he uses his tools.17. “The scientist, however, goes one step further”. The author says this to show _.C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people18. A sound scientific theory should be one that

17、 _.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times19. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _.C.that the investigations are important in science20. What is the main idea of the passage? _. D. Exactness and ways of usi

18、ng tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. Passage 80A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made manthe man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or

19、industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude towar

20、d manual (体力) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortable but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and

21、 college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the n

22、earby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer

23、 he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. (291 words)21. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man22. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _.B. she takes prid

24、e in what she can do herself23. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”.D. serve customers in a restaurant24. The authors attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is _. A. positive 25. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? _.B. American Attitude toward

25、 Manual Labor.Passage 81 By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of other they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nations consciousnes

26、s and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us-an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because Ame

27、rica is at peace our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science. Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who

28、 manage to transcend celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? Thats hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married

29、 a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death -such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess D

30、iana. (258 words)16. The passage mainly deals with _. C. heroes and icons 17. Heroes and heroines are usually _. D. all of the above 18. Which of the following statements is wrong?_D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.19. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _.C. just

31、before her death 20. What is more likely to set an icons status?_ B. Tragic and early deathPassage 82 Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such unc
