time i saw him was 12 years ago. twelve years has passed, and i still remember eating pomegranates (石榴) while his thin hands combed through my hair. to this day, i still remember stories my grandfather used to tell me. as a child living in korea, my grandfather was my closest friend, the man i spent every day with and depended on for back rides. we were inseparable from the moment we awoke until i fell asleep in his arms. i ate the food he prepared, and he was my pillow and storyteller. little did we know that a day would come when his first granddaughter would leave. my father was to be stationed in the united states and time would blur (使变模糊) our images of each other. on the summer of my sixteenth birthday, i would see my grandfather again. on the plane, thoughts of him ran through my mind during all 14 hours of the flight. would he look the same? would he be healthy? did he still have the pictures i drew for him? most importantly, would he remember me? i was short then and always smiling. he dressed me. twelve years later and i was taller, had a different figure. i picked out my own outfits and had my own sense of style. i was scared he wouldnt recognize i was his granddaughter. i landed in the airport and rode with my aunt and cousin to my grandfathers house, where we found him pacing back and forth, awaiting my arrival. he looked the same, and as soon as i stepped out of the car and faced him, i began to cry. he ran toward me.“tina!” my grandfather kept yelling. we met each other with open arms and he whispered, “ive been waiting for my granddaughter to come home. i missed you, my little tina. welcome home.” our eyes filled with tears as we walked up the stairs, arm in arm, telling each other all the events we had missed in each others life. he

contains the name of the brilliant physicist albert einstein. his theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. einsteins work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of einsteins work. in 1902 einstein became an examiner in the swiss patent office at bern. in 1905, at 26, he published four of his five major research papers. the first one provided a theory explaining brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension (悬浮液). the second paper laid the foundation for the photon (光子), theory of light. in it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called photons. a third paper contained the “special theory of relativity” which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe. the fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. here einstein presented his famous formula, e=mc2, known as the energy mass equivalence (等价). in 1916, einstein published his general theory of relativity in which he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve (曲线) in the space-time continuum (连续体), created by the presence of mass. einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the rising of one nation above all others. he opposed war and violence and supported zionism, the movement to establish a jewish homeland in palestine. when the nazis came to power in 1933, they criticized his ideas. he then moved to the united states. in 1939 einstein learned that two german chemists had split the uranium atom. einstein wrote to president franklin d. roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to germany developing an atomic bomb. he suggested the united states begin its own atomic bomb research. 28.einstein left for the united states . a. because of political reasonsb. because he loved the united statesc. because of his sickness of germanyd. because he was employed by the united states29.television is mentioned in the text as . a. einsteins discoveryb. a great invention of einsteinc. the purpose of einsteins workd. a successful use of einsteins work30.according to the text, einstein disagreed on . a. nationalismb. the defeat of the nazisc. atomic bomb research in the united statesd. the establishment of a jewish homeland in palestine31.according to the text, einstein is known as the following except a . a. physicistb. politicianc. peace loverd. thinker dthe earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat, sleep, work and entertain. to do all this, we use the earths resources. because some of us have more buying power, they end up using more resources than they usually need. at the same time, we also create a great deal of waste and pollution. so we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste. then two things happen: first, large numbers of the worlds population get much less resources than they need to live; second, the earth is damaged.the amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints. they show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not. because a few people eat up most of the earths resources, the majority have to bear the consequenceslike pollution. this is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.some years ago, a famous expert, called william rees, developed this idea of the ecological footprints. today, this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜). it allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape. once the earth goes out of shape, there is no hope for human beings.countries like the united states and canada have big ecological footprints. rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce. india has a footprint of 0.4. this means that the energy and materials consumed by an indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce. but if we look more carefully, we will find that even within india, the footprints of the city indian are much larger than the rural indian.32.which of the following is the best title for this text?a. footprints on the earthb. how to protect the earthc. footprints of wild animalsd. how to reduce pollution on the earth33.our footprints on the earth refer to . a. the cities we buildb. the cultures we create c. the marks we leave on roads behind us d. the resources we use and the waste we produce34.according to the text, rich people . a. should give more money to the poor b. are using too many resources c. are helping the poor to live better lives d. should live in rural areas with the poor 35.we learn from the text that rees . a. put forward the idea of the ecological footprints b. thought highly of the united states and canada c. thought india was an extremely poor country d. thought rich people made great contributions to society第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 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。youre in your 20s, but the 20s are just like any other life stage; they pass by and before you knew it, they are gone. dont let them pass by and leave you with regrets. 36 1.staying in an unhealthy relationshipyour 20s will play an important role in shaping who you are. 37 if the relationship is not making both of you into a better person, then maybe you should take a step back and ask yourself
