B Albert Einstein has a great effect on science and history. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlooka new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on，but 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 quiet life were broken by World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the 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 years following World War I，honours 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) manners. 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 honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.19The 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 Einstein20From the second paragraph，we know Albert Einstein_.Aenjoyed world popularity Bbecame head of a schoolCwas popular with his students Denjoyed studying wars21Which of the following statements about Einstein is TRUE?AHe achieved more than other scientists in history.BOur ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.CHe kept working until peace came in 1918.DHis research practically stopped during World War I.22In the years following World War I，_.AEinsteins theory was soon accepted even by ordinary peopleBmore and more honours went to EinsteinCEinstein almost had no chances for his researchDEinstein was not honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism CLondoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of booksespecially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy proper books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being the biggest bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲学), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(业余爱好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.23. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. Londoners like borrowing books from librariesB. Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapers C. Londoners like reading books in librariesD. Londoners dont like buying proper books.24. Charing Cross Road which is well-known for _ lies in the _ of London.A. bookstores, East Central district B. publishing houses, downtown C. Bookshops, center D. libraries, countryside25. The underlined word “solely” in the second paragraph means_.A. wholly B. partly C. hardly D. seldom26. The third paragraph mainly tells us _in London.A. where to buy the dear new books B. where to buy the cheap new booksC. where to buy the cheap second-hand books D. where to buy the dear second-hand booksD Donnas fourth grade classroom looked like many others I had seen in the past. Yet something seemed different that day I entered it for the first time.Donna was a school teacher only two years away from retirement. In addition she was a volunteer participant in a project I had organized. The training focused on language arts ideas that would make students feel good about themselves and take charge of themselves. Donnas job was to attend training classes and carry out the ideas being presented. My job was to make classroom visits and ensure the ideas to be carried out. I took a seat in the back of the room and watched. All the students were working on a task, filling a piece of paper with thoughts. “I cant kick the soccer.” “I cant get Debbie to like me.” Everyone was writing sentences, describing things they couldnt do. Thinking why students and teacher were focusing on the negative instead of writing the more positive “I Can” statements, I returned to my seat and continued my observations.“Finish the one youre on and dont start a new one,” said Donna. Students were then instructed to put the papers into an empty box in the front. When all of the students paper was collected, she put the lid on the box and headed down the playground.Donna asked the students out to the corner of the playground. There they began to dig. They were going to bury their “I Cants”. The box of “I Cants” was placed in a position at the bottom of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt.Now, years later, whenever I hear the phrase, like the students, I remember that “I Cant” is dead.27. Why did the author go to Donnas classroom?A. To learn how to teach students to see positive things.B. To teach students how to feel good about themselves.C. To check the progress of his project on language arts.D. To serve as a volunteer to train students to be active. 28. How did the author feel about the students writing “I Cants” at first?A. Angry.B. Curious.C. Nervous.D. Discouraged.29. The underlined word “one” in the fourth paragraph refers to “ ”.A. the sentence B. the paper C. the taskD. the letter30. We can infer from the text that Donna .A. had a special way to encourage studentsB. enjoyed attending voluntary activitiesC. was ready to help those who were in troubleD. held an optimistic attitude towards life第二节 阅读填空(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Surprising ways to beat stressWe all have times when we feel like were under too much pressure. Many things strike us beyond our control. With an annoying mix of late trains, missed appointments and work deadlines, many of us are living in a constant state of stress.
