doesnt accept ideas which are not _17_ on obvious facts，and therefore refuses to accept authority（权威）as the only _18_ for truth.he always _19_ ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.the rise of _20_ science may perhaps be considered to _21_ as 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 should learn science _25_ observing and experimenting on the things around us，and he himself _26_ many important discoveries.galileo，however，who lived more than 300 years later，was the greatest of several great men，_27_ lived in italy，france，germany or england，began by _28_ to show how many important _29_ could be discovered by observation.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 nature，and proving our _35_ and theories by experiments，that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.16ause btime cspeed

dability阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ascientists in the united states have developed a computer program that they say could provide an early warning of major earthquakes.the new system is designed to give warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes.that may not sound like very long.however，it could give people time to get under a table or take shelter someplace safe.the flow of electric power or gas could be cut off.air traffic controllers could warn away pilots.even socalled “smart buildings” could be designed to get ready.the system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments deployed across the los angeles area.southern california has more than 150 seismic（地震的）stations that measure movements within the ground.the information they collect is sent to a highspeed computer.an earthquake shakes the ground with two kinds of waver.the new system uses information from a lowenergy wave that moves quickly but causes little damage.experts call this the pwave.the slower but stronger swave is the main threat to life and property.japan has a system based on pwaves.there，the warnings are used to slow down highspeed bullet trains.other countries have warning systems that measure swaves.the new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts.areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning.distant places might have as long as forty seconds.the scientists are still testing their proposed system in the los angeles area.professor allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education.36which of the following is true about the new earthquake warning system?ait can give people enough time to run away from earthquakes.bit can give people seconds to take immediate measures.cit is developed in japan.dit is a system based on swaves.37which of the following can benefit from the new system most?aareas far away from the center of the earthquake.bareas directly above the center of the earthquake.cthe los angeles area.dhighspeed bullet trains.38from what professor allen notes in the last paragraph we can infer that _.aits very important for people to become educatedbits very important to warn people before an earthquake startscits very important for people to know about earthquakesdits very important for people to know about the new system39what do we learn from the passage?apeople could cut off electric power or gas immediately after the new system gives a warning.ba lowenergy wave may move slowly and cause little damage.cjapan has a warning system based on swaves to slow down bullet trains.dthe new system has been employed in warning of major earthquakes all over the united states.40whats the best title for the passage?aa new earthquake warning systembearthquakes caused by different kinds of wavescwarning systems in different countriesdthe principle of a new warning systembalbert einstein had a great effect on science and history，and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved.an american university president once said that einstein had made a new outlook，a new view of the universe.it may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity（识别）of time and space and so onbut even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.by 1914 young einstein had been worldfamous.he accepted the offer to become a professor at the prussian academy of science in berlin.he had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were broken by world war .einstein hated fighting and killing.the great suffering of war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.he lost interest in his research.only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.in the year following world war honors were increasingly put on him.he became head of the kaiser whihem institute of theoretical physics.but he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.he was well known for his humble（谦逊的）manner.he often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.in 1921 he won the nobel prize，and he was honored in germany until the rise of nazism（纳粹）when he was driven from germany because he was a jew.41the main idea of the first paragraph is _.athe difficulty of einsteins thought to othersbthe feeling of an american university president towards einsteincthe difference between science and historydthe change in human thought produced by einstein42it seems to the american university president that _.aeinstein achieved more than any other scientist in historybeverybody understands einsteins scientific ideascthe new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyonedour ideas about the universe are different today because of einstein43between 1914 and 1918 einstein _.areceived worldwide praisebhad no chances for studycalmost did nothing in his officedstill continued his scientific research44einstein did his greatest work _.awhen nazism rosebwhen he was youngcduring world war dafter he left europecin 1901 a german scientist named william roentgen received the first nobel prize in physics.he had discovered xrays.he made his discovery when he noticed that in certain experiments a special kind of light was made by the cathode rays（阴极射线）hitting a screen.the other scientists working with him had noticed this light but they did not think it was important.roentgen was the first person to ask himself questions about this special kind of light.when he examined it，he discovered a new kind of radiation called xrays.we often think that a creative idea suddenly comes into our heads from nowhere.this is not usually the caseit comes because we are ready to receive it.when someone asked issac newton how he had discovered the laws of gravity（引力），he replied，“i am certain that any mind working on a problem continuously will be prepared for the sudden answer.”albert einstein received the nobel prize in physics in 1921 and said that there are discoveries waiting to be made if people continue to look and study all the time.one of the problems facing creative people is that their ideas may be too new for the rest of the world.it often happens that people laugh at the work of artists and scientists.barbara mcclintock is a good example of someone who continued to think she was right although for 30 years other scientists thought that she was wrong.finally，her work proving that genes（基因）can make sudden changes in heredity（遗传）won her the nobel prize in 1983.many creative people looking for ideas or solutions find them in a visual（幻觉）form first.elias howe，the man who invented the sewing machine，had a big problem facing him.he could not understand how to connect the needle to the rest of the machine.needles had always had a pointed end.one night in a dream he was“attacked”by people with sharp spears（矛）in the morning he said，“there is the answer staring me in the face！”he made a hole in the sharp end of the needle and then connected it to the sewing machine.45we can infer from the passage that“creativity”means _.athe imagination to find a way of doing thingsbthe plan to make an important discoverycthe ability to make something differentdthe power to make something new46the writers purpose in writing this passage is _.ato tell some interesting storiesbto prove that people are creative in many wayscto praise some great scientistsdto explain why some people are clever47which of the following statements is best supported by the third paragraph?abelieve in your own ideas.bpay attention to your dreams.cask questions about everything around you.dcollect as much information as you can.48which of the following statements is false?ayou can be more creative if you read a lot.byou can improve your creativity by asking lots of questions.cyou can help your creativity by getting into the habit of thinking about ordinary things.ddoing a lot of preparation can help you be more creative.danthropologists are scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.items those men，women，and children left behind when they diedeverything from clothing to jewelry and toolstell anthropologists a lot.and sometimes even their words survive.experts believe that a discovery in mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in america.the people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before christopher columbus arrived in the new world.workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.they found the large piece of stone near the city of cascajal，mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the olmec.“there are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says dr.stephen houston，of brown university in the usa.“there is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a king，”he explains.houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discovery is exciting because“it makes clear that the olmec could read and write.it is like hearing voices from the past.”but experts dont know exactly what the writing says.finding other examples of olmec writing could help decipher the puzzle.“we could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly，”says houston.“there are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”49according to the passage，what items do scientists often use to learn more about the past?aclothing and jewelry.bbooks and stones.cknives and chairs.dpeople and animals.50what is important about the stone block mentioned in the passage?ait proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.bit allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.cit is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in america.dit shows the people of the area have a written language.51why are scientists interested in ancient languages?ait can allow them to better understand ancient societies.bso they can speak directly with ancient people.cit will help learn about the origins of modern languages.dthey can learn stories told during that time.emany parents dont love to read to their children.but there are so many professionals and phds doing the opposite thing.and they really promote reading to children，which is so good for children.i have found that this is true with my own children.i am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them，undivided time that they will remember for their entire life.reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.as the reader it is fun to watch their little faces as they are moved with the flow of the story.they are laughing one moment and on the next page the story has moved them to tears.as the story teller，i am just as moved as they are；i am caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.you can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.this is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children，reading books to them.my daughter was so into reading that if she couldnt line up some neighbors children she could be reading her books to，she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.well，she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math，and “ocean science” as she called it.she would read anything she could to them.and to my astonishment the neighbors parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children were doing so much better in school.52the writer mentions the idea of professionals and phds so as to _.aintroduce his own viewpointbshow the importance of his ideacplease readersdattract the attention of readers53the writer mentions his own daughter in this text for the purpose of _.ashowing the cleverness of his childrenbexplaining the advantages of reading to daughterctelling the importance of studying together with parentsdshowing his children were interested in reading54the writer thinks that _.ayou should place your children on your lap while reading to thembchildrens feelings change while you read books to themcit is easy to kill time while you are reading books to childrendreading to children is one of the most interesting experiences55according to the text，which of the following is not true about the writers daughter?ashe lined up some neighbors children and read to them.bshe lined up her stuffed animals and read to them.cshe would teach her teddy bears math and “ocean science”.dshe would read anything she could to her parents.附加题下面文章中有5处（第15题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（a、b、c、d、e和f）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。aslow down your lifebescape now and thencseparate your actionsdallow yourself to be weakerelieve pressure
