(200年前“马力”这个词首次使用。) James Watt had made the first widely used steam（蒸气）engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring（测量）power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.6.The passagesays that Watt made the first widely used steam engine.A.TB.F答案：A7.Watt made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.A.TB.F答案：A8.Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight.A.TB.F答案：B9.One horsepower would equal the weight a horse could lift.A.TB.F答案：B10.The title of the passageis How the Term Horsepower Came into Being.A.TB.F答案：AWhat makes a person a scientist? (是什么使一个人成为科学家？) 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. 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 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 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 his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and 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 his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? _A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? _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 keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、词汇与语法16.When Laura finally arrived she apologized _ so late.A.for to comeB.that she was comingC.for comingD.to come 答案：C17.Samuel Clemens, _ as Mark Twain, was one of the most famous American writers.A.to knowB.to be knownC.knownD.knowing 答案：C18.She is not only my classmate _ also my good friend.A.orB.butC.andD.too 答案：B19.Tom is so talkative.

He died three years ago. Now, the company belongs to Susan. Susan, however, did not have any jobs before becoming head of the company. She just finished the college. The employees became even more concerned during Susans first months on the job. Mr. Cleveland had been a _21_ leader. But Susan permitted many employees to make their own _22_. One employee said, Old Mr. Cleveland always told us what to do. He kept people on a short leash. But the company did well. What does a short leash mean？A leash is a kind of rope. We use a leash to walk our pet dogs. The leash keeps the dog from _23_ away or getting into trouble. Keeping a person on a short leash means keeping him or her under close control. The person cant make many decisions for himself or herself. Ms. Cleveland does not keep her workers on a short leash. _24_, she encourages them to get better ways to do business. For example, her secretary proposed an idea. She said the company should offer a sum of money as a prize to the best student in the high school near the factory. The winner could use the prize money to study at a university. Mr. Cleveland appreciated the idea. After the prize was announced, people who lived in the area of the factory began to buy _25_ of the companys candy. Local newspapers wrote about the competition. Business improved.

He had found a friend.So goes the legend（传说） of the horn. First known in the ninth century, the horn was used by herdsmen to call cattle, for its deep tones echoed across the mountainsides. Even today, on a quiet summer evening, its music can be heard floating among the peaks.6.The passage tells us his lonely job about the shepherd boy.A.TB.F答案：A7.The boy choose to drink the glass offered by the last old man because the boy was thirsty.A.TB.F答案：B8.After the shepherd boy found the horn, he discovered it was like a new-found friend.A.TB.F答案：A9.Today the horn is heard in the Swiss Alps when it rains.A.TB.F答案：B10.The Legend of the Horn would be the best title for the passage.A.TB.F答案：AIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. （在美国通常不会在清晨给人家打电话。） If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.What is the main idea of this passage? _A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案：B12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.答案：B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案：B14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? _A.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.答案：D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _A.its a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he neednt make some explanation.答案：B三、词汇与语法16.“Can you speak French?” “Yes, but _.” A.not manyB.only littleC.not muchD.only a few答案：C17.Every means _ been tried to solve the difficult problem.A.haveB.hasC.isD.are答案：B18.- Do you want to wait?- Five days _ too long for me to wait.A.wasB.wereC.isD.are答案：C19.Twenty people were _ wounded in the air crash.A.quicklyB.wronglyC.bitterlyD.seriously答案：D20.We came finally _ the conclusion that she has been telling lies all the time.A.ofB.intoC.toD.at答案：C四、完型填空 Dick was a sailor on a big ship.（迪克是一艘大船上的海员。） It went to Japan and Australia, _21_ Dick was often on the ship for several months at a time.

Before you ride your bicycle on the roads, you must register it and get a number for it. This number will be on a plate on your bicycle. Also, the traffic authorities will want to check the bicycle to make sure that it is in good condition. Young children may not ride bi
