49、ght squared. This is the famous equation of Albert Einstein. It 41 to the category of the theory of relativity, and it equates energy with mass. All things are&
50、#160;made up of atoms. When 42 of an atom travels at almost the speed of light, and we put more energy into it to 43 the speed, it begins to increase&
51、#160;in mass. The energy that makes it travel fast cannot make it travel beyond the speed of lightnothing 44 light can travel that fastso the energy goes into t
52、he thing itself and increases its mass. Energy 45 into mass.Why is the theory called the theory of relativity? A thing that is relative depends upon something else
53、160;to identify it or to define it. In relativity theory we identify or define mass, time, and length 46 to the speed of light.When something is at rest, it
54、0;looks ordinary in length. However, when it travels at almost the speed of light, it becomes 47 . Time also changes. However, the change in time is 48 to

61、ice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET 1 with a pencil.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:Rich or poor, we all have pro

63、elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life ?The following suggestions may help.It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her&
64、#160;dead-end job and unreasonable boss. Sound familiar? One day I told her, “Look at it this way. You are getting paid for the annoyance as well as the work.
65、160;It comes with the pay.”This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. “Take every day as a bonus.” When we learn to treasure every moment of w
66、hat we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective.Its all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving prob
67、lems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound the frustration.If you tell yourself there isnt a pr
68、oblem, there wont be one. Its all in the mind.Stop thinking about your own problemhelp others instead. A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she

70、#160;She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in and give up when we

72、#160;death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel.Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his so
73、n, “If only I had more mathematics!” What a great persistent spirit!One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy. She said th
74、is on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassins bulletBoddy Kennedy: “And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards
75、60;to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.”Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? Ive learned that care as you might, love as you
76、160;might, some people just dont care back.And its not the end of the world. After all, its not the event that makes a person, is it? Its what we do a

84、llowing passage:Most of all, America is inescapable. It is the worlds 900-pound gorilla: basically amiable and well-meaning, crushing through the underbrush, dominating the landscape,
85、160;altering the scenery, impossible either to shoo away or ignore. Its fads, fashions, folk-ways and fast food sweep around the globe; its brandishing of missiles scares
86、;even its allies. It is a standard for the worlds successes and a scapegoat for the worlds failures.There has always been ambivalence about the United States. Throughout&
87、#160;the countrys meteoric history, people have admired its energy, riches and opportunityand envied and resented its power and success. Since World War II, however, that ambi
88、valence has become even more pronounced, and today the world sees America as a curious paradox: a country whose military, diplomatic and economic prestige has been waning
89、 in a period when its cultural influence has never been stronger. The jarring discordance in feelings about American politics and culture takes some odd and comic fo
90、rms: on Nicaraguas state-run television network, for instance, American programs like “Barnaby Jones” are interspersed with “commercials” demonstrating how to throw grenades in the
91、;event of Yankee invasion.The key distinction is simply between the American peoplewho are seen as warm, friendly and ingenuousand the U.S. government. That was underlined in&
92、#160;a poll conducted for Newsweek International in six countries around the world. In the countries surveyedFrance, Japan, Great Britain, West Germany, Brazil and Mexicomost respo
93、ndents expressed approval for the American people, but a plurality said they disapproved of U.S. government policy. Moreover, the poll found people inclined to think that
94、;a strong American military presence increases the chances for war instead of safeguarding peace. That finding represents a significant change from the early postwar years: a&
95、#160;similar survey taken by the U.S. Information Agency in the early fifties showed broad approval for the role of American troops. American influence in the world is
96、60;seen as actually increasinga perception that may be due largely to the strong impact America has on movies, television and music around the world.Some images of Americ
97、a remain constant. The United States is still regarded as a country of great affluence that rewards initiative and industriousness, a place where educational background and
98、60;social class are not barriers to success. The Italian slang for striking it rich or lucky is “ha trovato lamerica”“he found America”; the Chinese have no word for
99、 America other than mei guothe beautiful country. “My students see America as a land of social mobility and self-made men,” says Prof. David Adams, head of the
100、American Studies Department at Britains University of Keele. “Ronald Reagan is the norm, not the exception.”55. According to the passage, America should not be neglected becau
101、se _.A. American people are very kind and friendlyB. America influences the world in many aspectsC. Americas military force is dominating the worldD. America is the stand
102、ard for the worlds success56. The word “ambivalence” (Para. 2 ) most probably means _.A. the American paradox B. anger and jealousyC. mixed feelings of love and hatr
103、ed D. admiration and displeasure57. Which of the following is NOT true of the poll conducted for Newsweek International?A. It shows that most respondents made a distincti
104、on between the American people and the U.S. government.B. It shows that many people disapprove of a strong American military presence.C. It shows that most respondents regard the American people as warm, friendly and frank.D. It shows that Reagan is reg
