As my child looked up at me waiting to know 10 she could take her time, I knew I had a(n) 11. I could sit there 12 about the number of times when I rushed my child through life or I could celebrate the fact that today Im trying to do things 13. I chose to live in today.“You dont have to rush. Just take your time,” I said in a(n) 14 way. Her whole face instantly brightened and her shoulders 15. And so we sat side by side talking about things that interested us.When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. “I 16 the last bite for you, Mama,” my daughter said 17.

Astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color.Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, reported their finding in January. They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society. They said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. They did it for fun.However, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. They said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. They now say the light from our universe is closer to white. It is more like a milky or creamy white color.Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe the universe from far away. The scientists found the average color by combining light from about two-hundred-thousand-star systems. Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.The scientists gave a number value to the colors of the different star systems. Then they added the numbers together and found the average measurement. The scientists used this average to identify the color of the universe. They said it was a very pretty light green. Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding.Other scientists and color engineers attempted to reproduce the result. Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.When the mistake was corrected, the results changed. The new color of the universe is much less colorful. It is very close to white.1.What is the color of the universe?A.Close to white.B.Black.C.Blue.

It is more like a milky or creamy white color.及最后一段中的It is very close to white可知,宇宙的颜色是接近白色的。2.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientists.可推知答案为D。3.C细节理解题。根据最后两段我们可知,是Mark Fairchild发现了原来电脑软件程序中有错误,将错误改正后,最终确定了宇宙的颜色是接近白色的。4.A主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本篇主要陈述的是科学家对宇宙颜色的研究。.阅读填空(七选五)(2017福建师大附中高三上学期期中)Being Left-handed in a Right-handed WorldThe world is designed for right-handed people,but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left?1. The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery.Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families;its assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it.2. In fact,identical twins,who share the same genes,can sometimes prefer to use different hands.There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with,but many experts believe that its kind of random.Historically,the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures.3. In some areas,the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand.In many religions,the right hand of God is the favored hand.For example,Jesus sits at Gods right side.Gods left hand,however,is the hand of judgement.Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved.In some parts of Scotland,it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey.4. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary.In some Asian countries,eating with the left hand is considered impolite.5. People come to realize that left-handedness is natural.People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed,including Benjamin Franklin,Leonardo Da Vinci,and Charlie Chaplin.Some researchers find out tha
