Einstein was probably the most famous scientist of the twentieth century He changed scientific thinking in the modern world He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived What s 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 1939 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 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 wasn t 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 51 From the passage we know that A no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century B Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his time C Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of America D Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for

was growing on a plate They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people Dr Fleming found that a mould 霉菌 had floated in through the window landing on the plate It had killed some of the germs it had touched This certainly looks promising Fleming said We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs He named the strange mould penicillin It proved to be a killer of many germs Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected 注射 with penicillin The twenty five untreated mice died but twenty four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out Hardly anybody took any notice of it In 1938 Dr Howard Florey an Australian working in London read Dr Fleming s report and was very interested He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings When World War II broke out it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin 55 Dr Alexander Fleming A had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill people B had been studying some of the germs on a plate which

department of science at the University of Lille and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries Lille was a major center for wine and beer making and some of the local wine makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh At that time it was believed that food and drinks go bad due to a purely chemical process 变化过程 But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms 微生物 caused food and drinks to go bad In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts 酵母 that caused the fermentation 发酵 process Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous It was named pasteurization in his honour and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows milk The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle fed babies dying from infant diarrhea 婴儿腹泻 and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products This simple process has saved thousands possibly millions of lives worldwide 59 Pasteur became in 1854 A the chairperson of the science department at the University of Lille B the director of a

produts B did not bring much profit to the wine makers in Lille C has done a lot of good to children in the world D has greatly reduced the number of wars in the world 6 D On the first day of class Mr Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature 生物 called cattytiger a kind of cat like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age He passed round a skull 头骨 as he talked and we all felt interested and took notes while listening Later we had a test about that When he returned my paper I was very very surprised There was a very large cross through each of my answers And so it was with everyone else s in our class What had happened Everyone was wondering and couldn t wait to get the answer Very simple Mr Whiteson explained He had made up all that story about the cattytiger There had never been such an animal So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers Needless to say we got very angry What kind of teacher was this We should have guessed it out Mr Whiteson said After all at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull in fact a cat s hadn t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age Clearly he was telling a lie But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head We should learn something from this Teachers and textbooks are not always correct 63 We failed in the test

C we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong D we shouldn t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies E The flag the most common symbol 象征 of a nation in the modern world is also 7 one of the most ancient With a clear symbolic meaning the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings ships and other vehicles related to a country The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive 原始的 artifact It is rather the product of thousands of years development Historians believe that it had two major ancestors of which the earlier served to show wind direction Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers People s food supplies were similarly vulnerable Even after they had learned how to plant grains they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems 图腾 before carrying them into battle They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves These flags developed very slowly into modern flags The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked The king of China around 1000 B C was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India then across Arab lands and finally to Europe where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag 67 The best title for the passage would be A Development of the National Flag B Power of the National Flag C Types of Flags D Uses of Flags 8 68 The underlined word vulnerable in Paragraph 3 means A impossible to make sure of B likely to be protected C easy to damage D difficult to find 69 The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because A they could tell wind direction B they could bring good luck to fighters C they were handed down by the ancestors D they were believed to stand for natural forces 70 What will the author most probably talk about next A The role of China in the spread of the national flag B The second ancestor of the national flag C The use of modern flags in Europe D The importance of modern flags 完成句子 每小题 2 分 共 20 分 71
