move to san francisco, 18 thousands of people were looking for gold. 19 his way to california, strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. he had only one thing 20(leave)-some canvas(帆布). in california, strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners. he said they could make tents from the canvas. but they werent 21(interest) in canvas for tents. strauss didnt know 22 to do with the canvas. before long strauss found the miners needed new pants. there were holes in their pants 23 the cloth wasnt strong. he decided to make the canvas 24 pants. they called them “levis”. later, strauss stopped using canvas and used a different cloth. it was a heavy cotton cloth-the same kind people wear today. levi strauss died in 1902. he never married and left money to his nephews. he left the world much more-the jeans 25 so many people wear. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 三、 阅读理解athe world is not coming to an end on december 21, 2012, the us space agency insisted monday in a rare campaign to remove widespread rumors fueled by the internet and a new hollywood movie.the latest big screen offering from sony picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths(虚构的故事) backed by the mayan calendar. it is claimed that the end of time will come as a planet x-or nibiru-heads towards or collides with the earth.some websites accuse nasa of hiding the truth on the planets existence, but the us space agency denounced(公然抨击) such stories as an “internet hoax(恶作剧)”. “there is no factual basis for these claims,” nasa said in a question and answer posting on its website. “if such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. obviously, it does not exist. credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted. “after all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years,” added nasa.there is another planet, eris, floating in space. but the small planet similar to pluto(冥王星) will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the earth, according to nasa.initial theories set the disaster for may 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide(同时发生) with the end of a cycle of the ancient mayan calendar.nasa insisted the mayan calendar in fact does not end on december 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward. and even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”(微不足道的), nasa said.“and while comets and asteroids(小行星) have always hit the earth, big hits are very rare,” nasa noted. the last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago, resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“we have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs,” the space agency said.()26. played a key role in the spread of the rumors. a. a new bookb. the internet and a new hollywood moviec. nasad. an indian calendar()27. the film 2012 is . a. about the end of the worldb. based on the scientific predictionc. well accepted in the science fieldd. about a romantic love story()28. we can infer that . a. people didnt take the rumor seriouslyb. planet x-or nibiru does existc. astronomers have been tracking planet x for over ten yearsd. the rumor caused a panic among some people()29. nasa thinks that eris . a. might cause a threat to the earthb. doesnt cause any threat to the earthc. is too far away to be visibled. is similar to our planet, where life might exist()30. which of the following is the best title?a. new hollywood movie 2012b. december 21, 2012, not the end of the worldc. end of the ancient mayan calendard. how rumors came into beingbmicrowaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. and despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to charles r. buffler of the microwave research center in marlborough, new hampshire. low-power microwaves only penetrate(贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.to test this idea, buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2,459 mhz magnetron(磁控管). he found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter(mw./sq. cm.); a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw./sq. cm. by comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw./sq. cm. and a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1,000 mw./sq. cm.in houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says buffler. when you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector(运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. in the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table.(you could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)while it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.()31. which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?a. a new heating system.b. a new microwave oven.c. a popular technique.d. the magnetron.()32. according to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?a. it directly heats people in a room.b. it heats walls and furniture in a room.c. it is safe.d. it saves energy.()33. the test conducted by buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about . a. 20 mw./sq. cm.b. 40 mw./sq. cm.c. 60 mw./sq. cm.d. 85 mw./sq. cm.()34. according to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the ro
