8、ngoing learning” during the pandemic(大流行）of NCP, have you thought of the inventors that supply us the convenience on the computers? Here, lets know a respectable person who left us a few months ago.Larry Tesler: computer scientist ,an icon of early computing, died at the age of 74 in this spring. Mr

9、 Tesler started working in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s, at a time when computers were inaccessible to the vast majority of people.It was thanks to his innovations ,which included the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” commands that the personal computer became simple to learn and use. Xerox, where Mr T

10、esler spent part of his career, paid tribute to him. “The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more, was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler,” the company tweeted. “Your workday is easier thanks to his revolutionary ideas.”Mr Tesler was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1945, and studied

11、 at Stanford University in California. After graduating, he specialised in user interface(界面) design, that is, making computer systems more user-friendly. He worked for a number of major tech firms during his long career. He started at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), before Steve Jobs invite

12、d him for Apple, where he spent 17 years and rose to chief scientist. After leaving Apple he set up an education firm, and worked for brief periods at Amazon and Yahoo.In 2012, he told the BBC of Silicon Valley: “Theres almost a custom - after youve made some money, you dont just retire, you spend y

13、our time funding other companies.”“Theres a very strong element of excitement, of being able to share what youve learned with the next generation.” he added.4.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.Mr Tesler innovated the computer.B.Mr Tesler invented the “cut”, “copy” an

But

16、do you think that a color has weight? I think youll say no. But Im afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe it, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with white pie

17、ce of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in mans mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.The scientist

18、told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery scientists say that people accept

19、the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have

20、been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, youll feel you have been there for only an hour. And if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.8.What can we know from the experiment?A.The

21、 two boxes have the same weight.B.Colors can change the weight of an object.C.The red paper is heavier than the white paper.D.Colors have different weights in peoples mind.9.What can we infer from Paragraphs?A.The meal of colors is changeable.B.People can sense the light from colors.C.People can sme

23、e will change with different colors.11.The passage is probably a（n）_.A.short novel B.news reportC.science report D.advertisementII.七选五Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments. Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology （心理学）. Before beginning

24、a study, however, any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method.12. Form a hypothesis （假设）. It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study.13.Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment. P

25、lan out a study. Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time, materials, and testing area prepared beforehand. This step also helps the scientist to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research. The ideal situation is

26、 to always perform experimental research.14.Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data. Collect data.15.If the data collected is not recorded and organized, the entire efforts of the study may be wasted. The best way to do this may be

27、 to record the proceedings so that no details are lost. Analyze the data. Once all the data has been collected and organized, it must be analyzed. Using previous research or scientific information about the problem, the psychologist must apply the new data gathered. Publish the information learned.

28、The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study.16.Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.A.It is based on scientific facts, not just opinions.B.Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.C.Before psych

29、ologists start the experiment, they must plan out the steps.D.This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.E.The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.F.To fully understand the study, each part of the experiment must be recorded.G.Someti

30、mes, however, this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.III.完形填空Though people have discussed the relationship between science and nature for many years, there is no consensual(统一的) explanation. While some view science as a powerful tool in 17 natures source of power, others vi

31、ew it as a danger. One example is Barry Commoners article, Unraveling(解开) the DNA Myth, which explains the recent developments in DNA technology and expresses 18 . Another example is Nathaniel Hawthornes short story, The Birthmark. It is a tale about a famous scientist, Aylmer, who seems to be unrav

32、eling natures deepest secrets one by one. Despite all of his 19 and vast understanding of science, Aylmer is unable to direct that knowledge into 20 free from natures grasp. He was unable to rid his wife of her birthmark and, in the end, killed her.Despite the different presentations of the concepts, though time separated the two men, both pieces express a similar view on the relationship between science and nature. Both pieces suggest that nature is 21 and holds
