When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer:“I put out fires” or “ I fix sick people” or “ I teach primary school”. As a theoretical（理论的）physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon（硅谷）. With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable-and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what were up to-is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as“What is the nature of Reality（现实）？” We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person. So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.1. According to the passage, in a way physicists are_.A. intelligent B.comfortable C. strange D.unlucky2. Judging from the context, the word “guru” in the first paragraph most probably means a person_.A. who acts as a teacher and answers big questionsB. who gives wrong answers to big questionsC. who does not like to answer big questionsD. who is eager to supply answers to big questions3. Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists？A. Physicists do not like their jobB. Physicists live in two different worldsC. Physicists are coming up with new answers to old questionsD. Physicists dont have to tell people what they are doing4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Theoretical physicists only have to answer the basic questions about the worldB. Theoretical physicists contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley.C. Theoretical physicists have disappointed the expectations of many peopleD. Theoretical physicists have found it hard to make friends with ordinary people5. Which of the following is true about the job of physicists?A. It is getting more and more difficult.B. It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary peopleC. A person with average intelligence can not do it D, Both A and B4. In her international bestselling Talk to the Hand, author Lynne Truss argues that common courtesies such as saying“Excuse me” are practically extinct. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her.Is it really true? We decided to find out by experiments. In dozens of American cities, our reporters performed two experiments: “door tests”(would anyone hold one open for them?)；And “document drops”(who would help them retrieve a pile of “accidentally” dropped papers?) Along the way, the reporters encountered all types: men and women of different races, ages, professions, and income levels. While 90 percent of the people passed the door test, only 55 percent passed the document drop. Are people less likely to help others when doing so takes extra effort or time？Not always, the reporters found. Take the pregnant woman who thought nothing of bending down to help us with our papers. Or the woman named Liz who balanced two coffees, her keys and her wallet on a takeout tray with one hand, while picking up papers off the wet pavement with the other. Her reason for helping? “I was there,” she said. Overall, men were the most willing to help, especially when it came to document drops. In those, men offered aid 63 percent of the time, compared to 47 percent among women. Of course, men werent entirely democratic about whom theyd help. All of them held the door for the female reporter, and were more than twice as likely to help her pick up fallen papers than they were to help our male reporter.By far, the most common reason people cited for being willing to go out of their way to help others was their upbringing. “Its the way I was raised,” said one young woman who held a door open despite struggling with her umbrella on a rainy day in Brooklyn.We realize this isnt a rigorous scientific study, but we believe it is a reasonable real-world test of good manners around the globe. And its comforting to know that in a place where millions of people push one another each day to get ahead, theyre able to do it with a smile. Hey, if they can make nice here, they can make nice anywhere.1. Which of the following is the best word to describe the experiments?A. Scientific B. Biased C. Revolutionary D. Realistic2.

The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese king and English princess.Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them in 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him- Jewish astronomers(天文学家)，Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew how to use the crude(粗糙的) compass(罗盘) of the day and could improve it.Henrys goal was to design and equip vessals(船) that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel, which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo(货物).The world owes credit to Prince Henry for the development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator. 1. Henry the Navigator was a member of the royal family of_.A. England B. Spain C. Italy D. Portugal2. Prince Henry started his school for the purpose of _.A. helping marinersB. improving ship design and sailing methodsC. studying astronomy and mathematicsD. improving his own skill as a sailor3. The teachers in Prince Henrys school seem to have been_.A. members of the royal familyB. astronomers, sailors and map makersC. shipbuildersD. All of the above4. Prince Henrys goal was to design vessels that could_.A. make long deep-sea voyagesB. travel faster than those in use at that timeC. explore the coastline of PortugalD. carry larger crews and more cargo than existing ones5. Compared with his caravel, Henrys carrack was_.A. longer and slimmer B. able to carry more sailsC. able to carry more cargo D. shorter4.Many people are frightened by spiders（蜘蛛）. They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spiders, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America. Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous（有毒的）spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous. Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hurt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them. They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes (窗玻
