He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. What’s more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.‎ In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the United States. In 1934, Einstein, who loved peace — afraid of a world in which only Hitler would have an atomic bomb (原子弹) — tried hard to persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium (铀) research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.‎ Although he wasn’t connected with any accepted religion (宗教), Einstein felt that trusting in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order. He once said, "God may know everything, but he is not hateful."‎ ‎21. From the passage we know that___________ .‎ A. no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century B. Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his time C. Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States D. Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons ‎22. If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan, he would___________ .　　‎ A. have continued his scientific research B. have won another Nobel Prize for Physics C. not have advised starting uranium research in the U.S.A.‎ D. not have moved to the U.S.A.‎ ‎23. Einstein believed that everything in the universe___________.‎ A. was kept in order by its own law B. had nothing to do with each other C. happened in an irregular way D. was made by the personal God B Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English ruler tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south is an independent country.‎ ‎　　In the 1840s, the main crop was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage(短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.‎ ‎　　For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people will work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.‎ ‎　　The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Creeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung ‎ without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.‎ ‎24. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?‎ A. How the Irish fought against the English.‎ B. How Ireland gained independence.‎ C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.‎ D. How two “Irelands” came into being.‎ ‎25. We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.‎ A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decrease in population B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments ‎26. The last paragraph is mainly about_________.‎ A. the Irish character B. Irish culture C. Irish musical instruments D. a famous Irish writer ‎27. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Life in Ireland B. A Very Difficult History C. Ireland, past and present D. The independence of Ireland ‎ C At this special rate,you'll save 20% off the cover price with our Continuous Renewal（续订）Guarantee!You'll also get FREE access for 6 months to the Reader's Digest Digital Edition for Pad or Kindle Fire,with your paid subscription.‎ Subscribe to Reader's Digest today and Read up!‎ Continuous Renewal:‎ Your subscription will be automatically renewed at significant savings off the cover price,unless you tell us to stop.You authorize us to charge your credit card for your renewal subscription before your current subscription ends at the low renewal rate then in effect.If your credit card can't be charged for any reason we will bill you directly instead.This service will continue each year until you tell us to stop.Cancel at any time ‎ at www.rd.com/cutomer-care and get the money back on all unmailed issues.‎ Offer is good in U.S.only.‎ One-year cover price is $45.Each one-year subscription includes 12 issues.Please allow 4~6 weeks for delivery of your first issue.Free access to the iPad edition is available one time only for 6 months with paid subscription;the following print subscriptions will not qualify subscriber for free access to the iPad editions.‎ For customer service,please click here.‎ ‎28.With Continuous Renewal Guarantee,you can______.‎ A.mail the books to any place of the world B.save 40% off for subscription the next time C.get free access for half a year to the Reader’s Digest Digital Edition D.read all the books of the Reader’s Digest Digital Edition ‎29.How much will you save with Continuous Renewal Guarantee in two years?‎ A.$45.

Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering that question.‎ Using powerful telescopes, a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet, called Proxima b. It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system.‎ Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth.‎ ‎ More importantly, they’ve determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earth’s. This means it could have liquid water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life.‎ Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4.2 light years from Earth—that is about 25 trillion miles away.‎ Despite the long distance, astronomers hope to get a much better look at our new-found neighbor one day. But they’ll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.‎ ‎32. Earth is to the sun what _____.‎ A. Proxima b is to Proxima Centauri B. Proxima Centauri is to Proxima b C. Proxima b is to the solar system D. the solar system is to Proxima b ‎33. The writer introduces the new planet mainly by _____.‎ A. listing figures B. making the comparisons C. following the space order D. giving examples ‎34. Planets like Proxima b are referred to as “ Goldilocks planets” because of _____.‎ A. their temperature B. the presence of water ‎ C. the life on them D. their size ‎35. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.‎ A. astronomers have a long way to go to explore the new planet B. existing telescopes are still far from advanced ‎ C. the long distance will prevent astronomers from exploring the new planet D. astronomers have got the whole picture of the new planet 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。（答案涂在答题卡71-75）‎ Reasons Why Physical Education is Important in School Are you looking for information about the importance of physical education in schools and why it should be emphasized?
