computer program that they say could provide an early warning of major earthquakes.The new system is designed to give warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes.That may not sound like very long.However，it could give people time to get under a table or take shelter someplace safe.The flow of electric power or gas could becut off.Air traffic controllers could warn away pilots.Even so­called “smart buildings” could be de signed to get ready.The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments deployed across the Los Angeles area.Southern California has more than 150 seismic（地震的）stations that measure movements within the ground.The information they collect is sent to a high­speed computer.An earthquake shakes the ground with two kinds of waver.The new system uses information from a low­energy wave that moves quickly but causes little damage.Experts call thi s the P­wave.The slower but stronger S­wave is the main threat to life and property.Japan has a system based on P­waves.There，the warnings are used to slow down high­speed b ullet trains.Other countries have warning systems that measure S­waves.The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts.Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning.Distant places might have as long as forty seconds.The scientists are still testing their proposed system in the Los Angeles area.Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education.36．Which of the following is TRUE about the new earthquake warning system?A．It can give people enough time to run away from earthquakes.B．It can give people seconds to take immediate measures.C．It is developed in Japan.D．It is a system based on S­waves.37．Which of the following can benefit from the new system most?A．Areas far away from the center of the earthquake.B．Areas directly above the center of the earthquake.C．The Los Angeles area.D．High­speed bullet trains.38．From what Professor Allen notes in the last paragraph we can infer that ______.A．it's very important for people to become educatedB．it's very important to warn people before an earthquake startsC．it's very important for people to know about earthquakesD．it's very important for people to know about the new system39．What do we learn from the passage?A．People could cut off electric power or gas immediately after the new system gives a warning.B．A low­energy wave may move slowly and cause little damage.C．Japan has a warning system based on S­waves to slow down bullet trains.D．The new system has been employed in warning of major earthquakes all over the United States.40．What's the BEST title fo r the passage?A．A New Earthquake Warning SystemB．Earthquakes Caused by Different Kinds of WavesC．Warning Systems in Different CountriesD．The Principle of a New Warning SystemBAlbert Einstein had a great effect on science and history，and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved.An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook，a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully theidentity（识别）of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world­famous.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the year following World War Ⅰ honors were increasingly put on him.He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics.But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.He was well known for his humble（谦逊的）manner.He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism（纳粹）when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.41．The main idea of the first paragraph is ______.A．the difficulty of Einstein's thought to othersB．the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC．the difference between science and historyD．the change in human thought produced by Einstein42．It seems to the American university president that ______.A．Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in historyB．everybody understands Einstein's scientific ideasC．the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyoneD．our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein43．Between 1914 and 1918 Einstein ______.A．received world­wide praiseB．had no chances for studyC．almost did nothing in his officeD．still continued his scientific research44．Einstein did his greatest work ______.A．when Nazism roseB．when he was youngC．during World War ⅠD．after he left EuropeCIn 1901 a German scientist named William Roentgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics.He had discovered X­rays.He made his discovery when he noticed that in certain experiments a special kind of light was made by the cathode rays（阴极射线）hitting a screen.The other scientists working with him had noticed this light but they did not think it was important.Roentgen was the first person to ask himself questions about this special kind of light.When he examined it，he discover ed a new kind of radiation called X­rays.We often think that a creative idea suddenly comes into our heads from nowhere.This is not usually the case—it comes because we are ready to receive it.When someone asked Issac Newton how he had discovered the laws of gravity（引力），he replied，“I am certain that any mind working on a problem continuously will be prepared for the sudden answer.”Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 and said that there are discoveries waiting to be made if people continue to look and study all the time.One of the problems facing creative people is that their ideas may be too new for the rest of the world.It often happens that people laugh at the work of artists and scientists.Barbara McClintock is a good example of someone who continued to think she was right although for 30 years other scientists thought that she was wrong.Finally，her work proving that genes（基因）can make sudden changes in heredity （遗传）won her the Nobel Prize in 1983.Many creative people looking for ideas or solutions find them in a visual（幻觉）form first.Elias Howe，the man who invented the sewing machine，had a big problem facing him.He could not understand how to connect the needle to the rest of the machine.Needles had always had a pointed end.One ni ght in a dream he was“attacked”by people with sharp spears（矛）．In the morning he said，“There is the answer staring me in the face！”He made a hole in the sharp end of the needle and then connected it to the sewing machine.45．We can infer from the passage that“creativity”means ______.A．the imagination to find a way of doing thingsB．the plan to make an important discoveryC．the ability to make something differentD．the power to make something new46．The writer's purpose in writing this passage is ______.A．to tell some interesting storiesB．to prove that people are creative in many waysC．to praise some great scientistsD．to explain why some people are clever47．Which of the following statements is BEST supported by the third paragraph?A．Believe in your own ideas.B．Pay attention to your dreams.C．Ask questions about everything around you.D．Collect as much information as you can.48．Which of the following statements is FALSE?A．You can be more creative if you read a lot.B．You can improve your creativity by asking lots of questions.C．You can help your creativity by getting into the habit of thinking about ordinary things.D．Doing a lot of preparation can help you be more creative.DAnthropologists are scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.Items those men，women，and children left behind when they died—everything from clothing to jewelry and tools—tell anthropologists a lot.And sometimes even their words survive.Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.“There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says Dr.Stephen H ouston，of Brown University in the USA.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King，”he explains.Houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discovery is exciting because“it m akes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is likehearing voices from the past.”But experts don't know exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher the puzzle.“We could have whole sets of ancient writi ng which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”49．According to the passage，what items do scientists often use to learn more about the past?A．Clothing and jewelry.B．Books and stones.C．Knives and chairs.D．People and animals.50．What is important about the stone block mentioned in the passage?A．It proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.B．It allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.C．It is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in America.D．It shows the people of the area have a written language.51．Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?A．It can allow them to better understand ancient societies.B．So they can speak directly with ancient people.C．It will help learn about the origins of modern languages.D．They can learn stories told during that time.EMany parents don't love to read to their children.But there are so many professionals and PhDs doing the opposite thing.And they really promote reading to children，which is so good for children.I have found that this is true with my own children.I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them，undivided time that they will remember for their entire life.Reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the reader it is fun to watch their little face s as they are moved with the flow of the story.They are laughing one moment and on the next page the story has moved them to tears.As the story teller，I am just as moved as they are；I am caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.This is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children，reading books to them.My daughter was so into reading that if she couldn't line up some neighbors' children she could be reading her books to，she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.Well，she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math，and “ocean science” as she called it.She would read anything she could to them.And to my astonishment the neighbors' parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children were doing so much better in school.52．The writer mentions the idea of professionals and PhDs so as to ______.A．introduce his own viewpointB．show the importance of his ideaC．please readersD．attract the attention of readers53．The writer mentions his own daughter in this text for the purpose of ______.A．showing the cleverness of his childrenB．explaining the advantages of reading to daughterC．telling the importance of studying together with parentsD．showing his children were interested in reading54．The writer thinks that ______.A．you should place your children on your lap while reading to themB．children's feelings change while you read books to themC．it is easy to kill time while you are reading books to childrenD．reading to children is one of the most interesting experiences55．According to the text，which of the following is NOT true about the writer's daughter?A．She lined up some neighbors' children and read to them.B．She lined up her stuffed animals and read to them.C．She would teach her teddy bears math and “ocean science”.D．She would read anything she could to her parents.附加题下面文章中有5处（第1～5题）需要添加小标题。

Read through the passage, and tell whether the following statements are true or false.
1. At Copernicus’ time, Christian Church was in charge of many western countries. T
Copernicus’ Revolutionary Theory
Eight Planets In the Solar System
Eight Planets In the Solar System:
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
Read the text carefully, then answer these questions
(1)Why could he not tell about his theory? (Para 1)
Because the powerful Chistian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea (2) What was his theory about? (Para 1) All his mathematical calculations led to the same conclusion: that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense.
