Public Attitudes Toward ScienceStephen Hawking1 Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a greatdeal in the last hundred years, and it is likely to change even more inthe next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changes and go backto what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history shows, thepast was not that wonderful. It was not so bad for a privileged minority,though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth washighly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the population, lifewas nasty, brutish, and short.公众科学观斯蒂芬·霍金无论我们是否愿意，我们生活的世界在过去一百年间已经变化了许多，而且在未来的一百年里可能变化更多。

Every year, on June 19th, a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant with special instruments. And every year the professor makes the same report: the tower has leaned a fraction of an inch more. Last summer, the 125 foot-high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line. Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the tilt, the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.The tower is leaning because the soft subsoil of Pisa will not support it. Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle, causing the tower to lean. Since a tremor could shake the foundation loose, the ringing of the tower's bells was forbidden in 1959. Trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.1. The statement which best expresses the main idea of this passage is that _________.A. the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in increasing danger of collapsingB. every year a professor measures the increase in the tower's slantC. the tower is leaning because the subsoil of Pisa will not support itD. there is only one way to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa2. It can be inferred from the passage that last summer the tower was found tilted further by __.A. 15 feetB. more than one inchC. a fraction of an inchD. several inches3. The tower tilts more and more because ___________.A. the ringing of the bells causes a tremorB. there are passing trucks nearby4. Why is the tower described as defying the laws of gravity?A. It had resisted shaking tremors for hundreds of years.B. It was built on soft ground.C. It leans a fraction of an inch more every year.D. Scientists think that it should have collapsed long ago.5. Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower _________.A. to protect the driversB. to prevent accidentsC. as a precaution against shaking tremorsD. because trucks damage the foundationQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Napoleon Bonaparte was the master of Europe. He wanted to be the master of the whole world. But he had to first win England, and to win England he had to cross the English Channel in force. If only he had ships which could ignore wind and current and tide and outtravel the British war vessels.Just at that time, there came to his court an American inventor, Robert Fulton by name. Fulton had invented a way of propelling ships by steam instead of by sails.He had also worked out a submarine torpedo (鱼雷) boat. He made successful tests of both these inventions, to the satisfaction of Napoleon's most doubting navy experts.The problem was solved. It was Napoleon's God-given opportunity. He wanted very much to try Fulton's idea. Then he decided against it.If Fulton's invention should fail, Napoleon feared he would be the laughing-stock of Europe. He could not afford to be laughed at. So he refused to pay the price of a laugh, and incidentally, he threw away world conquest.6. Napoleon's refusal to pay the price of a laugh probably cost him _________.A. much troubleB. world conquestC. bloodshedD. immense human lives7. At first the naval experts of Napoleon were _____.A. suspiciousB. astonishedC. annoyed with Fulton's inventionsD. satisfied8. The ultimate aim of Napoleon was to __________.A. win EnglandB. conquer the whole worldC. outtravel the British war vesselsD. be the king of FranceA. Fulton was a French inventor.B. Napoleon threw away world conquest on purpose.C. Napoleon did not want very much to try Fulton's idea.D. Fulton's inventions proved to be successful.10. A submarine boat is one that _________.A. is used to carry passengersB. is able to operate under the surface of the seaC. carries mainly goodsD. is moved by one or more paddiesQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood.Coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored-up energy from the sun. Some was collected by this season's plants as carbon compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago.Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun falls as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power.Light transmits only the energy that comes from the sun's outer layers, and much of this energy that is directed toward the earth never arrives. About nine-tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact, the earth itself gets only one half-billionth of the sun's entire output of radiant energy.11. The sun is the source of all of the following EXCEPT____.A. gasolineB. natural gasC. atomic energyD. green plants12. Radiant energy is stored as carbon compounds by _____.A. plantsB. rainC. rockD. wind13. The sun's energy directly provides us with _____.A. rainB. vaporC. lightD. food14. The largest part of the radiant energy directed toward the earth is ______.A. stored by the current season's plantsC. turned into fuelD. used for electric power15. Of the sun's entire output of radiant energy, the earth receives _______.A. one tenthB. nine tenthsC. all that comes from the sun's outer layersD. a very small portionQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:With the invention and development of television, entertainment has grown much more visual in character and is demanding less and less use of the imagination, considered by many to be man's greatest faculty ; but its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to exercise just those creative powers in men which are called upon and developed in the pursuit of a worthwhile hobby. This lack is not serious while a man is still fully employed in his day-to-day work which itself often gives him opportunities to create either with his hands or with his mind. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in his leisure. There comes a time, however, when he must retire from his occupation on account of age, and it is then that these shallower pastimes, useful enough as a form of relaxation, might cease to satisfy the hitherto active man. Today, many elderly people are finding this to be true, and seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in a short temper and slow degeneration (衰退) of health, thetwo most common symptoms.16. The writer criticizes visual entertainment because _________.A. it does not require men's creative powersB. it cannot improve our intelligence and skillC. it demands too much of our imaginationD. it leads men to slow degeneration in health17. What is regarded as men's greatest faculty?A. Entertainment.B. Character.C. Hobbies.D. Imagination.18. While fully employed, men look for _______.A. visual entertainment that requires imagination in their leisureB. opportunities to create either with their hands or with their minds in their leisureC. something that will help them relax in their leisureD. creative hobbies in their leisure19. The elderly people find _________.A. that shallower pastimes can no longer satisfy themB. it unnecessary to cultivate creative hobbies in their younger daysC. retirement unnecessaryA. hobbies are more important to the youth than to the elderly peopleB. we should develop worthwhile hobbies when we are youngC. in ancient time entertainment was more visual in characterD. hobbies are not important in the health of modem menPart III Vocabulary & Structure1.

Why Do Friendships End?By Allison HunterThe only danger in Friendship is that it will end.– Henry David Thoreau1 I received an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?” She referred to having seen the question in one of my articles, Mystery of Friendship. As I wrote in it, I don’t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime o nes, and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and BeA Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned by ones that slip away. Even so, I’ll try to offer some ins ights here as to why friendships end.2 My simple answer is that friendships end because the situations friends are in or even the friends themselves change. Others have similar answers. First, the situations friends face may change. The decision to relocate for a new school or job cannot help but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations cannot help but affect a friendship. Does a friendship need to end because of these changes? No, but it’ll require adjustments that one or both friends might not be willing to make.3 Second, the friends themselves may change. A significant reason that friendships often end when friends are apart for an extended period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of the friends change. I think it hurts less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more often mutual and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without each other. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. One friend might change social circles, become involved in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on some other venture that consumes more time and passion. Again, a friendship can endure these changes, unless one or both of the friends for some reason decide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. (For example, one friend might forget the importance of the friendship due to the high of having a new pet or mightfeel that the change is impossible to overcome when one gets married but the other is still single.) In this situation, breakups may not be mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed and end up with bitter memories about what was a precious friendship to them.4 There are other reasons why friendships end. For example, as much as two people might wanta friendship to survive, oneor both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Friendship is often compared to a flower garden. Wel l, if flowers don’t get exposed regularly enough to sunlight and don’t get watered enough, flowers will wither and even die. The same applies to friendship. If week after week passes where plans are made to spend time together but are never honored, perhaps due to taking a friendship for granted, eventually even the closest of friendships may cease to have a reason to exist.5 Conflicts can also cause the end of friendships. If the flower is a fledgling plant, one blow might destroy it just as sometimes re latively young friendships aren’t strong enough to endure much conflict. Even those amazing close friendships, where friends love us no matter what our faults are, need care when it comes to conflicts. Sure, if a flourishing flower gets stepped on, it might revive on its own. Moreover, if it gets a little extra special care, it’ll probably bounce back as if it hadn’t ever been injured. At the same time, if a flower gets repeatedly trampled on, it’ll probably eventually break. Especially the friendships that have been around for a long time can endure storms, and even become stronger for them, but most friendships have breaking points.6 Nevertheless, while we can rarely predict at the outset which ones will last, most friendships do enrich us for however sh ort or long they’re a part of our lives.为什么友谊会终结？艾利森·亨特友谊内在的唯一危险是：友谊将会终结。

Text AProfessor Hawking thinks it important to keep everybody in touch withwhat science is about. In this article he explains why.霍金教授认为使每个人都了解科学是干什么的非常重要。

在这篇文章中，他对其中的缘由作了解释。

It was not so bad for a privileged minority,though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth washighly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the population, lifewas nasty, brutish, and short.公众科学观斯蒂芬·霍金无论我们是否愿意，我们生活的世界在过去一百年间已经变化了许多，而且在未来的一百年里可能变化更多。
