The word horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made theworld’s first widely used steam engine. 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. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air 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.The selection says that Watt made the first(A)engine(B)steam engine(C)widely usedsteam engine(D)useful enginewatt wanted to find a way to(A)measure the workhis engine could do(B) tell people how powerful his enginewas(C) lift a 3300-pound weight(D) both A andBHe made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of(A)a man(B)ten horses(C)his engine(D)a horseOne horsepower would equal the(A) work a horse could do(B) weight a horse could(C) work a horse could do in ten(D) weight of one horsein a minutelift minutesThe best title for this selection is(A)Watt’sEngine(B) The Origin of the Term Horsepower(C)Units ofMeasurement(D)ItHappened 200 Years Ago难度:中 分值:2. Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairyones. 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. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but 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 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 anther unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.The bird-eating spider can be described as(A) a very hairy spider(B) a veryfrightening spider(C)the largest of spiders(D) All of the aboveThis spider lives where the climate is(A)wet andhot(B)cool and dry(C)hot and dry(D)cool and wetThe article says that the bird-eating spider is a kind oflarge crabtarantulablack widowall of the above(A) (B) (C) spider (D)Compared with the bite of a black widow spider, the bite of a tarantula is(A)more dangerous(B)less dangerous(C)just as dangerous(D) none of the abovebird-eating spiders hunt(A)during theday(B)at night(C)at dawn(D)both A and B难度:中 分值:3. Warm water freezes more quickly than cold. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost fourhundred years ago. But few people believed him – till 1970. In that year Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr. Kell filled an open pail with cold water. He exposed both to the same low temperature. The warm water froze first.The lack (缺少) of covers on the pails was the secret. Some of the warm water changed to vapor. (水蒸气) It evaporated (蒸发) into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water – even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.Sir Francis Bacon was(A)an Americanexperimenter(B) aCanadian scientist(C) an English scholar(D) anAustralianwriterDr. Kell’s pails were both(A) filled with water(B)leftuncovered(C) exposed to the sametemperature(D) all of theaboveThe second paragraph tells whyDr. Kell wasthe warmDr. Kellwater freezes in(A) studyingwater(B) waterfroze first(C) usedpails in his work(D) undergroundpipesNo water vapor would have escaped into the air if the pails had been(A) warmed (B) covered (C)shaken (D) filledThe cold water froze more slowly because(A) salt was added to it(B) its pail was smaller(C) there was more of it left(D) the air near itwas moving难度:中 分值:4. A flag is more than a piece of cloth. It stands for a nation’s people – theirland, history, and ideals. Iceland’s flag, for instance, stands for features of the land. Red is for the fire of Iceland’s volcanoes. (火山)White is for ice. Blue is for the mountains. On India’s flag, the blue wheel stands for peace and progress. The white stripe (条纹) behind it is for truth. The black stripe on the flag of Malawi stands for the Negro people of that African land. The red stripe represents (代表) the blood they shed to free themselves from foreign rule.When the people of any nation see their flag flying, they feel proud. They love and honor the flag as the symbol (象征) of their country.The flag of Iceland is(A)red andwhite(B)blue andgreen(C) black, white, and red(D) red, white, andblueThe white stripe on India’s flag stands for(A)ice and mountains(B)peace and progress(C)waterfalls(D)truthIndia’s flag stands mostly for the(A) feature of the land(B) riches of the soil(C) ideals of the people(D) history of the countryThe red on Malawi’s flag reminds the people of(A)the many volcanoes in their land(B) the beauty of their countryside(C)theirfight for freedom(D)their need to make progressThe most important thing about a flag is(A)what it stands for(B)when it is used(C)what it ismade of(D)how big it is难度:中 分值:5. Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they cangive 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 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. According to the passage, in a way physicists are(A)intelligent(B)comfortable(C)strange(D)unluckyJudging from the context, the word “guru” in the first paragraph most probablymeans a person(A) who acts as a teacher and answersbig questions(B) who gives wrong answers to bigquestions(C) who does not like to answer bigquestions(D)who is eager to supply answers to bigquestionsWhich of the following is true according to what the author says aboutphysicists?(A) Physicists do not like their job(B)Physicists live in twodifferent worlds(C)Physicistsare coming up with newanswers to oldquestions(D) Physicists don’t have to tell peoplewhat they are doingWhich of the following statements is true?(A) Theoretical physicists only have to answer thebasic questions about the world(B) Theoretical physicists contributedto the new industry in Silicon Valley(C) Theoretical physicists havedisappointedthe expectationsof manypeople(D) Theoretical physicists have foundit hard tomakefriendswithordinarypeopleWhich of the following is true about the job of physicists?(A)It is getting more and more(B)It is beyond thecomprehension of ordinary(C)A person with averageintelligence can not do it(D)Both A and Bdifficultpeople难度:较易 分值:6. For every man in the Civil War who died in battle, two or three men died of disease.Doctors of that time knew very little about causes of sickness or ways of preventing it. Thousands of men in poor health became soldiers. Hundreds of others had never had childhood diseases. Many of these soldiers could not withstand the epidemics of measles, mumps, and whooping cough that went through the camps.Army life was hard . Soldiers got few fruits or vegetables . There was no milk unless they happened to find a cow. Neither their clothes nor their shelters protected the troops from rain, snow , and cold. Sickness and disease were spread by insects, rats, and impure drinking water. Often the men drank straight from muddy streams. Gunshot wounds were serious, as in any war, but they did not cause as much death and suffering as disease did.Disease caused(A) only a few deaths(B) Fewer deaths than wounds did(C) More deaths than wounds did(D)Both a and bDoctors at the time of the Civil War knew(A)a lot about curing disease(B)Little about the causes of disease(C) Only how to prevent disease.(D) Both b andcMen who were accepted as Civil War soldiers were(A) known to have already had measlesand mumps.(B)Required to be in perfect health(C)Able to withstand epidemics easily(D) Sometimes in poor healthArmy life was hard on the troops because(A) they were notsheltered from thecold(B) they had no warm clothing(C) Their diets lacked good, healthfulfood(D) All of theaboveThe best title for this selection is(A)Disease.(B) TheGreatest Danger(C)Insects, Rats, and GunshotWounds(D) The History ofEpidemics难度:中 分值:。
