What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is“No”. It is not a tool 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 is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover 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 into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist's 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 change file scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.

This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein's ideas are 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.

【1】“...knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”The author says this to show________.

A.the importance of information

B.the difference between carpenters and ordinary people

C.the difference between scientists and ordinary people

D.the importance of thinking

【2】A sound 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 times

B.leaves no room for improvement

C.does not allow any change even under different conditions

D.can be used for many purposes

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Scientists are different from the ordinary people.

B.The theory of relativity.

C.Exactness is the secret of science.

D.Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.

【答案】【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【解析】【1】推断题。作者的意思是说明科学家与普通人的差异。

【2】理解题。根据第二段第二句“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.”可知科学的理论应该是在任何情形下都适用的。

【3】主旨题。根据上下文可知成为科学家的关键是知识的精确和应用工具的方式。

Recently, our class has held a heated discussion about how evening classes should be cancelled. Some of us in favor of the idea that evening classes should be cancelled.

【题目】Excused from recycling(回收利用)because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾滑道)? You_won't_be_for_long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.

In Shantzis' HiRise Recycling System, a chute leads to pieshaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.

The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials(as well as for un-recyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floor's chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.

Sorting(分类)recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted! Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more costeffective.

【1】The purpose in writing this text is________.

A.to encourage people to recycle their rubbish

B.to introduce a recycling system for high rises

C.to describe the use of computer technology in recycling

D.to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises

A.you'll soon be living in a cleaner building

B.rubbish chutes will become out of date before long

C.you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish

D.it won't be long before you'll have to recycle rubbish

【3】Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to________.

A.lock the other floors' chute doors

B.check if the container is full

C.press the correct button

D.break up the rubbish

【4】The biggest advantage of this new system is that________.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

(2012年沈阳模拟) They're so young! What sets apart (区别) the new TV adaptation (改编) of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions is the youthfulness of the players.

The producers made a great effort to bring in young actors. Most of them were born in the late 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, a team of 20somethings was given responsibility for adapting the novel for TV screens.

It is unusual for a director to pick a group of young people with little scriptwriting (写剧本) experience to take on such a big task. Most would expect the job to be given to more seasoned (经验丰富的) writers.

“I understand why director Li Shaohong has taken this unusual approach,” writes movie critic Raymond Zhou in China Daily. “She wants the drama to resonate (共鸣) with today's young people.”

Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor, Li also wanted to go back to the original. The popular 1986 adaptation left out many important parts of the novel that were considered superstitious (迷信的) back then. For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions, to make sure young audiences will get a real sense of the novel.

However, since people know the 1986 adaptation so well, they compare the old and new shows. The costumes, makeup and scenery in new drama are controversial (被争论的). Nie Lina, 16, of Yantai No.1 High School in Shandong Province, believes it is a bad idea for actors to have such strange hairstyles. The actors remind me of Peking Opera performers, not people living in Qing Dynasty time. Li Youran, 16, of Nanjing Foreign Language School, complains the music is strange and some scenes are scary. She also believes the actors are not playing in the spirit of the characters.

But Zhou defends (捍卫) the remake as an attempt at faithful adaptation. The value of the adaptation of a novel should be judged (评价) by how faithful it is to the novel—it shouldn't be judged against another adaptation. However, Zhou also argues that a director has the right to make his or her own work of art:an artist has the right to interpret (阐释) a classic based on his or her own understanding...You may not like it, but you cannot deny (否认) him or her that right.

【1】Which of the following statements is the difference between the new adaptation and the old one?

A.The actors are very famous.

B.The actors are very young.

C.The director is very famous.

D.The producers are very young.

【2】According to Zhou,a movie critic,the director Li Shaohong picked young players because ________.

A.she wanted today's young people love the new drama

B.she wanted to train young actors

C.she liked to attempt a new unusual approach

D.she thought the new drama is fit for young players to act

【3】Besides the youthfulness,the director wants to make the new adaptation ________.

A.superstitious

B.sensible

C.faithful

D.unexpected

【4】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean,according to the passage?

A.young

B.old

C.famous

D.experienced

【5】According to the audiences,which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Mostspan> audiences are satisfied with the new drama.

B.Lina believes the music in the drama is strange.

C.Zhou thinks it is right to be faithful.

D.Li Youran thinks it is wrong for players to have strange hairstyles.
