B “Eureka!” is Greek for “I have found it!” It is something we say when we have figured out a solution to a complex problem. Someone cries “Eureka” to express excitement when that person makes a discovery. When you finally find the answer to something you have been working on for a long time, nobody would blame for yelling “eureka!” from the rooftops. The story behind “Eureka,” however, is somewhat of a guess. Some say it goes all the way back to the time of ancient Greece and an inventor named Archimedes. The king gave Archimedes a difficult problem to solve. The king wanted to know if goldsmiths had used pure gold to make his crown. This problem troubled Archimedes. How could he learn if the crown was pure gold? One day, he stepped into the water of a bathtub. He saw that the water flowed over the top of the tub. The water that overflowed was displaced by his body. When Archimedes climbed in and out of the bath, he carefully studied the displaced water. He noticed that the more his body sank into the water, the more water was displaced. This meant that the displaced water measured his volume exactly. Suddenly, Archimedes realized how he could test the gold in the king's crown. He knew that gold is heavier than silver. So, he reasoned that a crown mixed with silver would have to be bulkier than one made only of gold if both weighed the same. Therefore, it would displace more water than a crown of pure gold. Archimedes became so excited by this discovery that he jumped out of the bath and ran naked through the city streets, shouting: “Eureka! Eureka!” meaning, “I have found it! I have found it!” Nowadays,the phrase “eureka moments” is used to describe the times we are experiencing a breakthrough discovery. Albert Einstein arriving at his theory of relativity and Isaak Newton getting hit on the head with an apple are both examples of eureka moments. 24. What is the right order of the following events? a. Archimedes noticed that the more his body sank into the water, the more water was displaced. b. Archimedes saw that the water flowed over the top of the tub when he was having a bath. c. The goldsmiths made the king a gold crown. d. Archimedes found a crown mixed with silver would displace more water than a crown of pure gold. e. The king gave a difficult problem to Archimedes. A. e-c-d-a-b B. c-e-a-d-b C. e-c-b-d-a D. c-e-b-a-d 25. The underlined word bulkier can be best replaced by________. A. smaller B. heavier C. larger D. purer 26. The author listed the examples of Albert Einstein and Isaak Newton to_________. A. prove how eureka is common-used among scientists B. explain eureka moments are the times of having great discoveries C. describe that breakthrough discoveries result from eureka moments D. admit that people like to cry “Eureka” to express excitement 27. What is the best title of this passage? A. Eureka! A Word of Discovery B. How Archimedes Created Eureka C. The Problem of the King D. Eureka Moments C For those concerned about wrinkly (有皱纹的) old skin, it might be a magical solution: a “second skin” that can be used to make aged tissue look more youthful. The wearable film developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has shown promise in a series of small tests where it was applied to wrinkles, under-eye bags and parts of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent(透明的) layer sticks firmly to the skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its creators claim. Tests in the lab found that the polymer film (高分子膜), which is only 70 thousandths of a millimeter thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bagging, and helped retain moisture in parts of dry skin. The layer is designed to be applied in the morning and peeled off at night, which could stand the strains of exercise without falling off or causing irritation(刺激), even when exposed to rain. “It’s something you can wear for a whole day or longer depending on the physical forces of the area where it is worn,” said Daniel Anderson, who helped develop the product at MIT. “You can’t tell you’re wearing it.” “You can rub it from the corner and peel it off. But it doesn’t do that under normal operation. We don’t want something that falls off,” he added. While ordinary cosmetics can mask imperfections on the skin, the new coating changes the skin by giving it the elasticity (弹性)of young skin. It was developed with help from two MIT companies. The layer is made by applying two creams to the skin, one after the other. The first cream is a siloxane polymer (硅氧烷聚合物) which sticks to the shape of the skin. The second cream contains a platinum catalyst (铂催化剂) that makes the siloxane into a thin, stretchy sheet. Tiny particles in the second cream spread the light and give the layer a youthful appearance, according to a study in Nature Materials. 28. The underlined word “strains” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___________. A. injuries B. pains C. stresses D. tiredness 29. “The second skin” __________ . A. is a solution to all the skin problems B. is something you can always wear C. is produced by Massachusetts Institute of Technology D. is a new coating helping skin return to its young state 30. What type of writing is the passage? A. A science report B. An ad for a cosmetic C. An introduction of a book D. An exhibition guide 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the “second skin”? A. doubtful B. disapproving C. uncaring D. favorable D They say: “You are what you read.” And there may be some truth in this. A report by the US’ Open Syllabus(课程) Project found that the most read books among US college students in the past year were the likes of The Republic by ancient Greek philosopher Plato and The Clash of Civilizations (《文明的冲突》) by US political scientist Samuel Huntington. And according to reports released by Chinese college libraries, the most popular books among Chinese students are novels like Journey Under the Midnight Sun by Japanese writer Keigo Higashino and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (《天龙八部》) by Chinese author Louis Cha. This is considered by many to be one of the reasons why Chinese students are sometimes not as good at critical thinking or observing global perspectives as US students – they read too many bestseller novels. “By reading texts in history/social studies, science, and other disciplines (学科), students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields that will also give them the background to be better readers in all areas,” Robert Pondiscio, vice president of the Core Knowledge Foundation in the US told The Washington Post. According to China Youth Daily, there are usually five stages when it comes to reading, with popular novels at the bottom. More advanced readers normally go on to read classic fictional literature, history and philosophy, or books with critical ideas. The fifth stage involves students making their own reading lists based on the ideological (意识形态的) systems they have built throughout the years. We spend hours, days or even weeks on a book, so it’s only natural that we want to learn something useful in return for our efforts. Many see reading as an investment (投资) in themselves. But this practical view of literature and the thought that history and philosophy books are superior to novels is not agreed by everyone. After all, what they offer are two different kinds of satisfaction. While the former provides knowledge, the latter brings emotional experiences. “Fiction and poetry are medicines,” UK writer Jeanette Winterson once wrote. “What they heal is the rupture (裂痕) reality makes on the imagination.” 32. Why Chinese students are sometimes lacking in critical thinking or observing global perspectives? A. Because they read too many philosophy books. B. Because they read too many bestseller novels. C. Because they read too many books with critical ideas. D. Because they have to do too much homework all day. 33. The underlined part in Paragraph 7 probably means? A. better than. B. worse than. C. harder than. D. easier than. 34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. History and philosophy books are superior to fictions and poetry. B. Chinese Students should read more history and philosophy books. C. Fictions and poetry can provide students with knowledge. D. Jeanette Winterson thought fiction and poetry are also useful. 35. What is the best title of this passage? A. Reading habits are different. B. American readers are superior. C. Critical thinking weighs a lot. D. Books bring benefits. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to avoid gossiping While gossip isn't always a bad thing, it can be incredibly harmful not only for you, but also others may be affected. ________36________, as well as not engaging with gossip with other people.
