far back as the 22 of roger bacon, the wonderful philosopher of oxford, who lived 23 the years 1214 and 1292. he was probably the first in the middle 24 to suggest that we must learn science 25

by 28 to show how many important 29 could be discovered by observation. galileo lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642). before galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 30 towards the earth than small ones, 31 aristotle said so. but galileo, going to the 32 of the leaning tower of pisa, let fall two 33 stones and proved aristotle was wrong. it was galileos 34 of going direct to

could not speak a word of the language. on my second day i got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. the first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then i decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. after walking about for some time, i decided i had better ask the way. the trouble was that the only word i knew of the language was the name of the street in which i lived, and even that i pronounced badly. i stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. he handed me a paper. i shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. i had to give him some money and went on my way. the next person i asked was a policeman. he listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. there was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. i nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.about an hour passed and i noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green

the favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant at fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes to get it over the counter, and carry it to their tables themselves. people also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their homes. at some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without leaving their cars. there are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the united states, most of the restaurants sell hamburgers or other popular foods among americans, in addition, there are many fast food restaurants that serve chinese food, italian food, chicken, seafood and ice-cream. the idea of a fast food restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food can be found in one. fast food restaurants are popular because they show the american way of life, first, they are not formal restaurants. people wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. second, they are fast. people who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their food or waiting while someone else prepares it. in fast food restaurants the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it.

expensive restaurants very often.41. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. chinese food is also served in some fast food restaurants. b. people can have almost every kind of

restaurantscmany years ago, scientists discovered that amino acids, a foundational building block of life forms on earth, also exist in space. one of the primary sources of this knowledge lies in numerous tests run on meteorites(陨星) that have landed on earth. small traces of amino acids have been found, again and again, from a countless number of meteorites. an american scientist and researcher, sandra pizzarello, has recently discovered that the amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in outer space. this discovery offers proof that extraterrestrial(来自地球外的) life could, quite realistically, resemble life on earth. many years ago, pizzarello and a colleague conducted research on amino acids extracted(提取) from a meteorite that landed in australia in 1969. as they analyzed the material, they discovered a greater number of acids indicating a tendency towards “left-handedness” over “right-handedness”.further evidence to support these findings came from the analysis of pristine meteorites found in antarctica. the frozen conditions of antarctica ensure that meteorites are preserved and remain unaffected by the earth. these buried meteorites are usually discovered due to constant motion of the ice, which eventually brings the objects back to the surface.according to pizzarello, this discovery is important because it shows that a key molecular (分子的)trait(特征) that defines life here on earth appears to have had the same effect on the cosmic lineage(世系) of life in outer space. in other words, the fictional images of aliens from movies and popular television shows such as star trek might be more realistic than we used to think.is there life on other planets? do aliens resemble human beings? maybe one day, with continued scientific research and advancement in space travel and research, we will find out.46. what are amino acids?a. a building material. b. a chemical. c. a life form. d. a building block of life forms.47. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. our knowledge of amino acids from outer space has been gained from the tests on meteorites that landed on earth.b. the meteorites found in antarctica had reamained in good condition largely because no one lives there.c. the producers of movies about aliens must have done research on amino acids from meteorites.d. the author doesnt believe that aliens might exist in outer space. 48. what has sandra pizzarello discovered recently?a. extraterrestrial life must resemble life on earth.b. the amino acids found on earth share the same simple structure as amino acids found in outer space.c. a lot of acids indicate a tendency towards “right-handedness” over “left-handedness”.d. a key molecular trait has the same effect on the cosmic lineage of life in outer space. 49. what has made the discovery of the buried meteorites in antarctica possible?a. continued scientific research.b. advancement in space travel and research.c. the constant motion of the ice eventually brings the objects back to the surface.d. the discovery of amino acids. 50. what is probably the best title for the passage?a. amino acids offer proof of alien life in outer spaceb. there is life in other planetsc. extraterrestrial life resembles life on earthd. small traces of amino acids have been found don my planet, nobody needs to die. it was only ten years ago that scientists here on xeron developed technology to bring the dead back to life. that does sound strange, doesnt it? but of course these dead “people” are not made of flesh and blood but celluloid(假象牙) and computer chips. the scientists found that because our population was declining people were becoming longly in their small settlements. so they set to work to solve the problem. after twenty years of dedication they succeeded. they discovered that “people” could be copied from old home movies. the “person” is combined with computer records about him or her to create a virtual “relative”. the family can chat and live with him or her. once a family takes up the offer of a constant companion, their upkeep is very cheap. he or she does not need food or clothes, is never ill and does not need haircuts or new shoes.this project has been such a success that the scientists are now working on ways to bring back “people” who died long ago so that they can take on new roles. in 2030 they hope to be able to reproduce some of the great people of the 20th century: perhaps even karl marx, albert einstein, or chairman mao.so if you are lonely, find an old home movies and choose the relative you would like to bring back to life. then call xeron 7257 and one of our representatives will call you back. prices are very reasonable. call today or write for our brochure for full details at xeron people regeneration ltd, bonjon 5675, xeron. please mark your envelope brochure or quick reply! 51. how are these dead “people” different from us?a. they are made of flesh and blood. b. they are made of celluloid and computer chips.c. they are made of flesh and celluloid.d. they are made of blood and computer chips. 52. what is not true about the copied “people” ?a. their upkeep is very expensive.b. they dont need food or clothes.c. they are never sick.d. they dont need haircuts or new shoes. 53. what is the reason for scientists to bring great minds back to life?a. so that they can take on now roles.b. because scientists want to show off their talents.c. because people need them.d. so that they can make the same contributions to society. 54. when you
