To start with, you need questions. Then, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts. After that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the worlds problems with this type of analysisluckily for us.However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “the earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. They preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of others. In fact, when Galilei proved that the earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC).This also shows how people didnt want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves. And this is still often true today. People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei too made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong. Therefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all”.We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we dont know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions. So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that todays civilization is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)39. In Bacon and Galileos times, people would prefer to _.A. learn new things by observing the world around themselvesB. acquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestorsC. seek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientistsD. explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes40. In this passage Bacon and Galileo is mentioned as examples for _.A. their great achievements in scienceB. their ambition to doubt great ancestorsC. their revolutionary way of acquiring knowledgeD. their preference to believe in themselves rather than others41. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To help the readers learn more about great thinkers in history.B. To convince the readers of the importance of thinking and discovering.C. To persuade the readers to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom.D. To encourage the readers to go against the views of their day.42. Which of the following is the process the writer suggests to acquire knowledge?A. Asking questions searching the internet waiting for results finding answersB. Acquiring knowledge and understanding asking questions answering questionsC. Observing the world asking questions studying facts finding answers considering possibilitiesD. Asking questions observing the world studying facts considering possibilities testing and finding answersCAt 10 p.m., I met Holmes outside his house as arranged. With him were two men. The police officer, Peter Jones, I already knew. He had often helped us out in our little adventures. The other gentleman was Mr. Merryweather. He was the manager of the bank we had seen that morning in Short Street.When we got to the bank, Mr. Merryweather opened the door with a large key and we all crept silently down into the basement. The floor of the basement was covered in large square stones and the room was filled with wooden boxes.“Thats our French gold,” explained Mr. Merryweather. “We borrowed it some months ago from a French bank to use in a business deal. As it happens, we didnt need it after all, so it was never unpacked. It will be going back to France first thing on Monday morning.”“Please be quiet,” said Sherlock Holmes. “Hide behind the boxes and keep very still. We shouldnt have long to wait.”In fact, we waited silently in the dark for over an hour, although it seemed a lot longer to me. Then suddenly, a strange light appeared under the stone floor. One of the stones began to move, letting more light in from below. Within moments, the stone was pushed on top of the next one, leaving a light-filled hole in its place. A hand appeared out of the hole, then another hand. A few seconds later, Vincent Spaulding jumped out of the hole onto the basement floor. Then he turned and leaned over the hole.“OK, Archie, its all clear up here. Give me the hammer and the bags and then climb up yourself,” he said. At that moment, Holmes ran from behind his box and caught hold of Spaulding.“Quick, Archie, run!” yelled Spaulding. We heard the sound of feet running away.“He wont get far, Mr. Clay, for thats your real name, isnt it?” said Holmes. “The police are guarding the shop door at the other end of the tunnel you so cleverly dug. Theyll catch him as he comes out the other end.”Once both thieves had been arrested and taken off to the police station, Holmes and I went home to discuss the matter.“And so you see, Watson, Spaulding, or Clay as his real name is, needed to get Mr. Wilson out of his shop so he and his associate could dig their tunnel. The dirt on the knees of his trousers confirmed that they were digging. When I knocked my stick on the pavement and heard nothing unusual, I knew they werent digging under the front of the shop. So I concluded they were digging out the back. When I made enquiries at the bank and found out about the French gold, I knew I was right. And I guessed theyd take the gold on Saturday evening because the bank would be closed the next day and theyd have time to escape before the theft was noticed.”43. Holmes and Watson met Mr. Merryweather at the bank that morning to _.A. withdraw some cash for emergency useB. inquire if Spaulding had once used his real name at the bankC. confirm that the digging was linked with the bankD. see the French gold in the basement with their own eyes44. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. it was the first time that Clay had committed a theft crime.B. this was a well-planned theft though failed.C. the other thief was able to escape from the other end of the tunnel.D. the French gold would be going back to France since it took up too much room.45. “We shouldnt have long to wait” (in the 4th paragraph) showed that Holmes was .A. patient B. confident C. concerned D. calm46. Which is the correct order of the following events?a. The two thieves began to dig the tunnel.b. Holmes knocked his stick on the pavement.c. The two thieves were taken off to the police station.d. The bank borrowed the gold from a French bank.e. Watson met Holmes outside his house.A. e-a-b-d-cB. d-a-e-b-cC. c-e-b-d-aD. d-a-b-e-c五、任务型阅读。（共10小题，计10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文的结构和内容要点完成文章后的图表。注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。The effects of inflation or rapidly rising prices in one area may encourage a purchaser to borrow money to avoid higher costs in the future. People who are successful at saving will often want to make their money work even harder and increase their income through successful investments.Purchasing housing has been shown to be good investments. So many Chinese people purchased houses in the early 2000s because rapid price increases made them look like a good investment.Some people have managed to combine their hobbies and special interests with their investments.
