He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. 1.

The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America. Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, nut it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous. Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them. They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes(窗玻璃)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass. 1. The bird-eating spider can be described as ___D__ . A. a very hairy spider B. a very frightening spider C. the largest of spiders D. All of the above 2. This spider lives where the climate is ____D__ . A. wet and hot B. cool and dry C. hot and dry D. cool and wet 3. The article says that the bird-eating spider is a kind of ___D__ . a) large crab b) tarantula c) black widow spider d) All of the above 4. Compared with the bite of a black widow spider, the bite of a tarantula is __B___. a) more dangerous 8 b) less dangerous c) just as dangerous d) None of the above 5. Bird-eating spiders hunt ___B__ . a) during the day b) at night c) at dawn d) Both A and B Passage 3 Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer: ―I put out fires‖ or ―I fix sick people‖ or ―I teach primary school‖. As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley. With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable --- and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we‘re up to --- is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as ―What is the nature of Reality?‖ We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person. So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand. 1. According to the passage, in a way physicists are ____A____. A) unlucky B) comfortable C) strange D) intelligent 2. Judging from the context, the word ―guru‖ in the first paragraph most probably means a person ____C___. A) who does not like to answer big questions. B) who gives wrong answers to big questions. C) who acts as a teacher and answers big questions. D) who is eager to supply answers to big questions. 3. Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists? C A) Physicists do not like their job. B) Physicists don‘t have to tell people what they are doing. C) Physicists are coming up with new answers to old questions. D) Physicists live in two different worlds. 9 4. Which of the following statements is true? D A) Theoretical physicists contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley. B) Theoretical physicists only have to answer the basic questions about the world. C) Theoretical physicists have disappointed the expectations of many people. D) Theoretical physicists have found it hard to make friends with ordinary people. 5. Which of the following is true about the job of physicists? C A) A person with average intelligence can not do it. B) It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. C) Both A & B. D) It is getting more and more difficult. Passage 4 thIn the 18 century young ladies in Italy were taught reading, writing, music and arithmetic. But their knowledge of history and geography was very poor. Once the French ambassador in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late. ―Yousee,‖saidtheminister, ―therehasbeenalittle accidentattheKing‘spalace.‖ The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happenedattheKing‘spalace. ―Oh, nothing important,‖answered the Minister. ―Theambassador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to hishoteltobringthem.‖ ―IsBrazil sofarfromRome?‖askedthe young lady, who knew very little geography. ―ItisintheNewWorld,‖saidtheMinister. ―IntheNewWorld?‖repeated the lady in great astonishment. ―YesintheNewWorld,‖answered the Minister in a sarcastic tone, ―whichwasdiscovered by Christopher Columbus.‖ When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could: ―Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.‖ 1. The Italian foreign minister came to the hall very late because--------B------.

Her announcement showed she was -----C---. A. ignorant B. clever C. thoughtless D. knowledgeable Passage 5 Theworld‘spopulation continues to grow. There are now about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in a further 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such a growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people? A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in world‘sbirthratehastakenplaceduring the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations. Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth. 11 China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970. Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year 2000. Several nations in Europe have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people. 1. Theworld‘spopulation could reach-----B---.

He couldn‘tfindanything wrong with her, however, so he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests directly to Mrs. Black‘sdoctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble. Mrs. Black carefully wrote all the thins down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a meeting. When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her.

Passage 7 Dear Doctor, My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work. My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, ―Myclever little wife can run that companyshe‘sworkingfor.‖ But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, butwedon‘tdothesethings because he is very unhappy. We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end. I love my husbandverymuch,andIdon‘twanthimtofeelinferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be good wife and a working woman, butIdon‘tknowhow. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career? 1. The letter was most probably written ------B-----. A. in 1975 B. around 1980 C. four years ago D. 1965 2. What do you think shows her husband was supportive? -----D---. 14 A. He took up all the work she used to do. B. He made all the decision for her. C. He gave her encouragement. D. All of the above. 3. Her husband-----C----- when she first found her present job. A. was very critical of her B. felt disappointed C. was proud of her. D. was happy but critical 4.

Job and marriage Passage 8 Poverty exits because our society is an unequal one, and there are overwhelming (势不可挡)political pressures to keep in that way. Since power is concentrated in the hands of the rich, 15 public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor. Poverty is actually functional from the point of view of the nonpoor. Poverty ensures that ―dirty‖workgetsdone. If there were no poor people to scrub floors and empty bedpans, these jobs would have to be rewarded with high incomes. Poverty creates jobs for many of the nonpoor, such as police officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores while their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for inferior goods, such as day-old bread and run-down automobiles. Poverty legitimizes middle-class values. To the middle class, the poor are supposed to lack the virtues of thrift, honesty, and a taste for hard work. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. For example, the poor bear the brunt (首当其冲) of unemployment caused by automation, and it is their homes, not those of the wealthy, that are demolished when a route has to be found for a new highway. There is no deliberate, conscious―conspiracy‖(阴谋) of the wealthy to keep the poor in poverty.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today — the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800's the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960's most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of. 1. ____C____ inventions had had as much effect as the wheel before the 19th century. A. Quite a number of B. Some , C.

The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive. In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it. To clear the land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes. They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced food for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests. The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people 18 built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing. Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the fine structures in the cities. They lived in small huts with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature. Measuring time was important to the Maya, so they developed a system for measuring it accurately. Farmers needed to know when to plant and harvest their crops. Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They wrote numbers as dots (...) and bars (-). A dot was one and a bar was five. The Mayan priests studied the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time. Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from an infectious disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Experts are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya. They are still one of our greatest mysteries. 1) The Maya lived in Mexico___D___ A) only after the Spanish arrived B) at the same time as the Spanish. C) only for a few years.
