Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “No”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw is important to a carpenter(木匠). You will probably agree too, that knowing how to investigate (调查), how to gather information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further. He must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be made certain by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist sees and notices in an act of proving must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正确性)of his mathematics was later tested through investigations. Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.53. By saying the underlined sentence in the passage, the author showsus _.A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs54. A reasonable scientific theory should be one that _.A. Works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other timesB. leaves no room for improvementC. does not allow any change even under different conditionsD. can be used for many purposesBIt would be impossible for most people to publish 400 books even in dozens of lifetimes. But Isaac Asimov has produced that great output during his 41- year book career and shows no signs of slowing down.Many of Asimovs science and science fiction works deal with space travel - such as his classic(名著) Foundation Trilogy - yet, Asimov himself is a serious homebody. He would be perfectly happy never leaving his Manhattan apartment, where he lives with his wife, psychiatrist author Janet Jeppson. “ I travel in my writing to the far ends of the universe,” he says, “so I dont have to travel in real life.” And that includes going into space. Even if invited, he wouldnt want to go.But he enthusiastically(狂热地)supports the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors. Asimov a workaholic(工作狂)who says he wants to end his days “ face down on my typewriter” spends eight hours a day, seven days a week at the keyboard. The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov began writing science fiction at age 11. His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a Ph D in chemistry.Known mainly as a science fiction writer, Asimov is also an essayist, journalist, biographer and humorist. Over the years, he has won dozens of awards, including the title Grandmaster of Science Fiction.55.

Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airlines computer service by June 16 will get an award. Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $99, good anywhere in the US or Canada, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement to $70 from either $60 or $50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.59.

But not many know about another talking device (equipment) he invented just four years later, in 1880. He called the device the photophone.“Photophone” comes form the Greek words for “light” and “sound”. The photophone did not use electricity to carry sound over wires between two people. Thats what a telephone does. Instead, the photophone used a beam of sunlight traveling through the air. With his invention, Bell could actually transmit (传递) human speech on a beam of light. To do so, he spoke close to a thin mirror that was reflecting sunlight. The vibrations (振动) of his voice caused the mirror to vibrate, and the vibrating mirror caused the light to vibrate. The vibrating light hit a light-sensitive cell in a receiver placed some distance away. The cell changed the light patterns into electrical signals. Earphones changed the signals back into sounds.Bell believed that his idea of talking on a beam of light would prove to be important. He often called the photophone his greatest invention. Even though the photophone depended on a source of energy that was not constantthe sunBell wasnt a bit discouraged. He felt sure that people would one day talk using beams of light.Two much more recent developments made Bells dream come true. In 1960, a scientist built the laser. A laser produces a highly concentrated beam of light. Shortly afterward, other scientists developed a new kind of optical fiber. The optical fiber is a glass thread. The new fiber could carry light beams long distancesas far as several miles.63. According to Bells own opinion, _is his greatest invention.photophone B. optical fiber C. telephone D. laser64. What does “That” refer to in the underlined sentence?A. transmitting human speech on a beam of lightB. using electricity to carry sound over wires between two peopleC. using a beam of sunlight traveling through the airD. light and sound65. Which statement is TRUE about Bells invention of photophone?A. Earphones are used to change light into sounds.B. The photophone is based on the invention of the telephone.C. The photophone depends on a constant source of energy.D. The laser and the optical fiber are helpful for Bells invention.66. This passage is mainly about _.A. how to use light to carry sound B. what the telephone isC. what the photophone is D. how to use electricity to carry soundE Boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern style in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey the traditional idea that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.69. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _. A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted C. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys D. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit 70. Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage?A. The difference b
