and shy Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team Football tennis Cricket anything with a round ball I was useless he says now with a laugh But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England s rural Devonshire It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend Gradually Saunders set his mind building up his body increasing his speed strength and endurance At age 18 he ran his first marathon The following year he met John Ridgway who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway s school of Adventure in Scotland where he learned about the older man s cold water exploits 成就 Intrigued Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions then decided that this would be his future Journeys to the Pole aren t the usual holidays for British country boys and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy John Ridgway was one of the few who didn t say You are completely crazy Saunders says In 2001 after becoming a skilled skier Saunders started his first long distance expedition toward the North Pole He suffered frostbite had a closer encounter 遭遇 with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit Saunders has

years ago He studied the observations of comets 彗星 which other scientists had made The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem He could not figure it out Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems However Halley had a friend named Newton who was a brilliant 有才华的 mathematician Newton thought he had already worked out that problem but he could not find the papers on which he had done it He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse 椭圆 Now Halley set to work He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists He made a surprising discovery The comets that had appeared in the years 1531 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart 相隔 This seemed very strange to Halley The different comets followed the same orbit The more Halley thought about it the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times The comet had gone away and had come back again It was an astonishing idea Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758 There were 53 years to go before Halley s prediction could be tested In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky Halley did not see it for he had died some years before Ever since then that comet has been called Halley s comet in his honor 51 Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of A some different comets appearing several times B the same comet appearing at different times C three different comets appearing three times D several comets appearing at the same time 10 52 Halley made his discovery A by doing experiments B

out the orbit of the comet B Halley figured out the orbit of the comet first C Newton gave Halley some help D Halley died before 1758 第 卷 第一节 阅读表达 共 5 小题 58 题 2 分 60 题 4 分 其他每小题 3 分 满分 15 分 Every few
