阅读理解（分两部分，共40分）【一】阅读下面的文章，从每题后面的四个选项中选出正确的一项。每题2分，共30分。ain 1905, as part of his special theory of relativity, albert einstein published the point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. this was expressed by equation e = me 2(energy = mass times the speed of light squared). but bombs were not what einstein had in mind when he published this equation.in 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would “refused to do war service, direct or indirect” his position would change in 1933, as the result of adolf hitlers coming into power in germany.einsteins greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to president franklin roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that germany might be working on an atomic bomb. among those concerned were physicists leo szilard and eugene wigner. but szilard and wigner had no influence with those in power. so in july 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: albert einstein. after talking with einstein, in august 1939 szilard wrote a letter to president roosevelt with einsteins signature on it, which was delivered to roosevelt in october 1939.germany has invaded poland the previous month; the time was ripe for action. that october research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. in april 1940 an einstein letter, ghost-written by szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for “greater speed”.as the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. he wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.the atomic bombings of japan occurred three months after germany gave in.in november 1954, five months before his death, einstein summarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: “i made one great mistake in my life when i signed a letter to president roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification- the danger that the germans would make them”.21. what can we learn about szilard and wigner?a. they were not as influential as einstein.b. they were responsible for the invention of nuclear weaponsc. they had cheated their friend albert einstein.d. they had an intention to destroy the world.22. we can conclude that einstein _.a. was important in the development of atomic bombb. was not involved in the invention of atomic bombc. directly participated in the invention of the atomic bombd. helped with the invention of atomic bomb23. the best title for the passage would be _.a. a story of albert einstein b. albert einstein and the atomic bombc. it was unfair for einstein d. how the atomic bomb was inventedb have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on wechat without looking at what was going on around them. as the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers（低头族）.recently, a cartoon created by students from china central academy of fine arts put this group of people under the spotlight. in the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. a doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. a chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” guangming daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.but thats not all. being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. at reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, qilu evening news reported.it can also cost you your life. there have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.24. for what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in paragragh2?a. to inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.b. to advertise the cartoon made by students.c. to indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.d. to warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.25. which of the following is not a risk a phubber may have?a. his social skills could be affected.b. his neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.c. he will cause the destruction of the world.d. he might get separated from his friends and family.26. which of the following may be the authors attitude towards phubbing?a. supportive. b. opposed. c. optimistic. d. objective.27. what may the passage talk about next?a. advice on how to use a cell phone.b. people addicted to phubbing.c. measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.d. consequences of phubbing.c new yorkers and visitors to the big apple will get to ring in the lunar new year, also known as chinese new year in the u.s., in style with a fireworks display on the hudson river set to music written by academy award-winning composer tan dun.the display is part of the second annual “happy chinese new year: fantastic art china” festival held in new york on february 5-10, 2016. the china central academy of fine arts (cafa), the u.s.-china cultural institute and the cultural associate of the committee of 100 announced this years events on november 18 at a press conference at the lincoln center.the “fantastic art china” festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across new yorks top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks, including the lincoln center, empire state building and jacob k. javits convention center.this years theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said professor yu ding from cafa, who is also president of fantastic art china and in charge of the festivals design. lunar new year, which celebrates the “year of the monkey” in 2016, is an opportunity to bring chinas modern art to mainstream america, and the festival serves as an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between china and new york city, yu said.unesco goodwill ambassador tan duns music is a new edition that will be featured at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the javits center, events at the lincoln center and the fireworks display on the hudson, which will take place on the evening of february 6. five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by cafa that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.“we chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the lunar new year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,” said tan dun at the press conference, “and it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display.”in addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the empire state building will illuminate new york city during the holiday.chinese new year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in new york. children from the national dance institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional chinese dances at the lincoln center and the javits center. and, in celebration of the “year of the monkey” events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in china.28. the theme of this years celebration is centered on _.a. diversity of chinese traditional festivalsb. relationship between sound and image of naturec. endangered species and environment protectiond. cultural exchange between china and america29. the coming “year of the monkey” is to be celebrated in new york by _.a. sailing on the hudson river along with a new-year speechb. holding a special concert at the empire state buildingc. setting off fireworks and holding a special lighting showd. taking a week off and organizing chinese dance contests30. what does the underlined word “illuminate” (in para. 7) most probably mean?a. lighten. b. surround. c. decorate. d. broaden.31. this passage is written mainly in order to _.a. compare some traditional festivals in china and americab. attract visitors to america for the coming new-year celebrationc. strengthen the cultural co-operation between china and americad. report celebration activities for the “year of the monkey” in new yorkd while dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.now thanks to some researchers at the university of veterinary medicine in vienna,austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.for their study,biologist corson miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy.half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face,while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.interestingly,the dogs were not provided with the entire face.some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves.thats because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.after some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions,the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face.the researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.they also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn.they guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly.however,once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded,the trepidation seemed to disappear.in fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer game that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.the researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctl. since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.32. how did the scientists conduct the experiment?a. by mixing the selected dogs together.b. by leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.c. by showing digital pictures of womens happy or angry faces.d. by rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.33. which of the following statements is true about the dogs in the study?a. the dogs were not all provided with the entire face.b. the dogs couldnt read strangers facial emotions.c. according to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.d. the dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.34. the underlined word trepidation in paragraph 5 probably means .a. curiosity b. horror c. excitement d. doubt35. how might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?a. they would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.b. they found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.c. they could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.d. they found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.【二】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。get a thorough understanding of oneselfin all ones life time
