17、eading comprehension. (a)in 1752, three years after two scotsmen, alexander wilson and thomas melville, fastened thermometers to kites to record the temperature of clouds, benjamin franklin made his famous experiment with a kite, a string, and a key. franklin hoped to show that natures tremendous di

18、splay of electricity in lightning were the same thing as the feeble electric sparks scientists of the day were producing in their laboratories. he built a square kite to which he attached an iron wire. he flew the kite with a hemp string, and near the base of the string he tied a large brass key. th

19、e kite rose into a dark thundercloud, where the iron wire picked up electrical charges. franklin noticed that the strands of the string were beginning to stand up with electricity. as rain wet the string, it conducted more electricity. standing in the shelter of a shed, franklin cautiously reached o

20、ut his finger to touch the brass key. a series of sparks jumped from the key to his finger. he thus proved the lightning and electricity are the same. we now know that this experiment was a dangerous one, for franklin might have been killed by a bolt of lightning.41. the best title for this passage

21、is _.a. the discovery of electricityb. the kites and sciencec. franklins experiment with lightningd. franklin, the great scientist42. according to the passage, benjamin franklin _.a. recorded the temperature of cloudsb. was killed by a bolt of lightningc. proved that lightning can be controlled be m

23、om b. c. the material he used d. the sheds protection ( b )let children learn to judge their own work. a child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. he notices a thousand times a day the differences between the languages he uses

24、 and the language those around him use. bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. in the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare their own performances

25、with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. but in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. we do it all for him. we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or co

26、rrect it unless he was made to. soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. let him do it himself. let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.if it is a matt

27、er of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. let him correct his own papers. why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. lets end all this non

28、sense of grades, exams, and marks. let us throw them all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding, an dhow to know what they know or do not know. let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, wit

29、h our help as school teachers if they ask for it. the idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. anxious parents and teachers say, “but suppose they fail to learn something esse

36、rom being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. and although some airlines prohibit from using such equipment

37、during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to reinforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.the difficulties are predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers. experts know that portable devices emit radiation, which affects those wave

38、lengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. but, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.the fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that t

43、rplanes computers?a. because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.b. because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.c. because research scientists have not been to produce the same effects in labs.d. because experts lack adequate equipment

44、 to do such research.55.it can be inferred from the passage that the author _,a. is in favor of prohibiting passengers use of electronic devices completelyb. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferencec. hasnt formed his own opinion on this problemd. regards it as unreasonable to ex
