He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. Whats more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the United States. In 1934, Einstein, who loved peace-afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb（原子弹）-tried hard to persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium(铀) research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.Although he wasnt connected with any accepted religion（宗教）, Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order. He once said, “God may know everything, but he is not hateful（可恨的）.”36. From the passage we know that .A. no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this centuryB. Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his timeC. Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of AmericaD. Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons37. If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan, he would .A. have continued his scientific research B. have won another Nobel Prize for physicsC. not have advised starting uranium research in the U. S. A.D. not have moved to the U. S. A.38. Einstein in 1933.A. visited England and the U. S. A. B. lost everythingC. became a man without a country D. both A and C39. Einstein believed that everything in the universe .A. was kept in order by its own law B. had nothing to do with each otherC. happened in an irregular way D. was made by the personal GodBThere is a bar （酒吧）in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It is Mr. Websters. Few people went to the bar last year, but things are quite different now. There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. Then a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked around the bar, and then said to Mr. Webster, “Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put a picture of a black horse instead. ” “But the name of the bar is The White Horse. ”Mr. Webster said. “Yes, but do it. ”the man said. Then he went out of the bar Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, “I want a picture of a black horse. ” The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door opened, a man came in and said, “Theres a mistake on the door of your bar, and the picture is different from the name. ”The man looked, sat down and drank something. Then another man came in and said the same, and then another and another. A lot of people came in and said, “The picture on your door is wrong. ”and they all stopped and drank in Mr. Websters bar. 40.The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of the white horse because he knew _. A. a picture of a black horse showed good luck B. the picture of the white horse wasnt good for the bar C. people would understand the picture different from the name D. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the name 41. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger _. A. though he wasnt ready to do it like that at first B. though he didnt like the black horse C. because he knew he was an artist D. because he also wanted to change the picture 42. More and more people came to the bar because _. A. it had changed its name B. the black horse was better than the white one C. the bar had a black horse D. they wanted to show the mistake 43. From the story we have learnt that _. A. if your business is not good, youd better change the name or the picture B. if you are in trouble, you should take others ideas C. when you have difficulty, dont give up D. when a good name is given, it can cause successC“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.”You may think, “Hes so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize（扩大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or“surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall （瀑布） they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool. ” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility （可信性）. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can . And I think they are also very cool . 44. We know that the word “cool” has had _ A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 45.

In the passage, the writer suggests（暗示） that the word “cool”_ A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seemsDThe world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3of the fresh water （淡水）which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage becomes a big problem. How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil （使达到沸点）sea water with high heat until vapor （蒸汽）rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for example, digging deep wells, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being polluted. Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water for the least money is the best. 48. Where does the fresh water people need come from? A. Sea water. B. Rivers and lakes. C. Underground. D. Both B and C. 49.

EA man once had a dream about the Black Forest in Germany. In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground. He ran off as fast as he could, but they followed him. He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left. Which road should he take? He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right, and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel. He was received there kindly and given a room, and he was saved from the two men. That was the dream.Twenty years later he was really in the Black Forest and, as happened in the dream long ago, two men ran out and tried to throw him down.
