Does he have ways ---or tools --- of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is no. It is not the tools that the scientist uses but how he use these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw 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 question and that his answer can be confirmed( 证实 ) by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. 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(说明) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations( 调查 ) are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy(精确 ) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein ’ s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 56. According to the passage, ______ makes him a scientist. A. the tools a scientist uses B. a scientist ’ s way of thinking C. the way a scientist uses his tools D. the various tools a scientist uses 57. Knowing how to investigate and how to discover information shows ________. A. the importance of science B. the importance of thinking C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people D. the importance of learning maths well 58. From the passage we know that a sound scientific theory should be one that _________. A. can be proved through experiments B. leaves no room for improvement C. cannot be changed under any conditions D. not only works under one set of conditions at one time but also works under the same conditions at other times 59. The passage mainly tells us __________. A. the importance of scientific research 精品文档 你我共享 知识改变命运 B. scientists are hard working C. what is a scientist and what is an ordinary person D. that exactness and way of using tools are the key to making of a scientist B Beijing: Beijing is to spend up to US$20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st century one for the 2008 Olympics. The government managed to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008. Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the city ’ s homes, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas. The money also will be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green areas. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing ’ s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present. Olympic officials realize the city has a long way to go to match the environmental standards of such cities as Paris, Toronto, Istanbul and Osaka. City officials have already announced that around 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic jam and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijing ’ s first light railway, a 40.5 kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2005. Beijing, besides, plans to build an 82.25-kilometer-long subway to add to the existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened. Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green area along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas. 60. The government will pipe natural gas to the city ’ s homes in order to ________. A. solve the problem of being short of fuel B. bring down the cost of daily life C. reduce the pollution of our capital D. keep up with the development of modern society 61..

A. lengthening the existing 53-kilometer subway is among the 50 large projects B. a 40.5-kilometer line will be added to Beijing ’ s fist light railway C. the length of the subway will be up to 135.25 kilometers in 2005 D. a 70-meter-wide green area will supply us with enough water 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The environment of London is better than Toronto B. In the first paragraph “ a 21st century one ” refers to a modern and advanced capital 精品文档 你我共享 知识改变命运 C. Beijing is badly polluted mainly by coal burning D. Liquefied gas is more expensive than petrol C While it is expected that students come to university with the ability to take a good set of notes, this is not always the case. High school may not have demanded it, so good listening and note-taking skills may need to be developed. TRY Being a positive, active listener. HOW? Sit down front and do not read or talk. Pay particular attention during the second 20 minutes (when you tend to lose it ) and to the last minutes when a summary might be given or conclusions drawn. TRY Being a positive, active learner. HOW? Come to class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and attending the lecture and by pre-reading the text ( this latter is especially helpful if you find yourself having difficulty keeping up with the material). TRY Getting exact notes, with special attention to the main ideas. WHY? There may be overhead project; if so, get that material down. In addition, look for points of emphasis— from the prof ’ s verbal language, body language, or careful reading of his notes. If you still feel you ’ re missing the main points, try showing your notes to a classmate or to the prof. TRY Leaving lots of space between ideas. WHY? Because you want lots of room to continue to add notes in your own words; this will help you learn the material on a deeper level by integrating( 结合 ) it with what you already know. Also, the extra space will make it easier for you to find material when you are studying. TRY Going over new notes 10 minutes for each class within 24 hours WHY? Because your lose 50-80% of the material if you don ’t. TRY Setting your notes up so you can study effectively from them. WHY? Leave wide left margins( 页边的空白 ); here you will write questions from which to study your notes. Leave the back of the page blank, so you can fold the page, cover the notes, and answer the questions when studying. 64. During a listening lesson _______. A. the students might lose interest after 20 minutes B. most students might be absent minded C. students prefer to talk to each other 精品文档 你我共享 知识改变命运 D. students don ’ t have to pay attention to the last part of the lesson 65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Pre-reading what you read might help you understand the material better B. Taking notes in class can help you master the main idea better C.

How to Be an Active Learner D The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sport car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time. Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station ’ s competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered a peculiar “ experiment ” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England, Greg, and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on a radio. They took a lie detector ( 测谎仪 ) test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges include an astrologer(占星家 ) who declared that they were suited. The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine ’ s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell ’ s parents are reported to be less than delighted. Organizations, including the marriage guidance Service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “ We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love. ” The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a year ’ s free use of a wonderful apartment in the center of Birmingham, and a car. But will it last? 精品文档 你我共享 知识改变命运 68.

A well-matched couple E In July 1944 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet(彗星 ). When the fragment landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused a panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth ’ s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushed towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won’ t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperature around the world falls to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. 精品文档 你我共享 知识改变命运 Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn ’ t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? 72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according the author ’ s description of the disaster in 2094? A. The whole world becomes extremely cold B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed C. The whole mankind becomes extinct D. The visit of the comet results in wars 73. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? A. Because they could only live in the warm climate B.

In writing the passage, the author intends to ________. A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future B. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed C. tell the historical development of the earth D. warn of a possible disaster in the future 75. It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _________. A.

Text 10 11.Which would you rather be, a mathematician or an author? Perhaps you will never be faced with this kind of choice. Lewis Carroll was both a mathematician and an author. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University. But he is better known as the author of the most famous children’s books that have ever been written: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass . The author ’s real name was Charles Lutwidge Dogson, but he preferred to use the penname “Lewis Carroll ” when he wrote Alice and this is the name we remember him by, Alive in Wonderland was published in 1865, when its author was 33 years old.
