21、 Dr. Joel Hildebrand was 101 years old, who had been married for seventy-five years, and had taught freshman chemistry to over 40,000 college students.For his life, he had published a popular chemistry textbook and dozens of articles, managed the U. S. Olympic ski team, and discovered a way to allow
22、 deep-sea divers to stay underwater longer. In his own way, Dr. Hildebrand was certainly a genius.Dr. Hildebrands interest in chemistry began at an early age. In an interview, he once said that his interest had been formed because he was fortunate enough to be born before there was television, so he
23、 had to make his own decisions about what to pay attention to. Even as a student in high school. Dr. Hildebrand had the reputation as the one who learned more chemistry than his teacher knew. As a result he was given the keys to the high school chemistry lab. And there he discovered that the correct
24、 formula for a certain chemical compound was not the one given in his chemistry book but a totally different one. Dr. Hildebrand went on to teach at the University of California at Berkeley and remained there for almost forty years.During that time, Dr. Hildebrand discovered that the gas helium coul
25、d be combined with oxygen for use as diving gas to allow divers to dive deeper and take the great pressure of the water without the physical discomforts that had been experienced when they used another gas, nitrogen. The use of helium for deep-sea diving is now standard practice. Dr. Hildebrand was
26、also valuable to his country during both world wars. In World War I he analyzed the poisonous gases used on the battlefield and helped develop a truck that could clean and treat soldiers clothes which had been contaminated by poisonous gases during fighting. In World War he helped develop a type of
27、snowmobile, a vehicle used to carry soldiers through the snow in northern countries.Dr. Hildebrands retirement from teaching at the age of seventy was required by state law in California. He objected to this, joking that he thought a teachers time of retirement ought to be determined not by age but
28、by how many of that teachers students were still awake after the first fifteen minutes of class! Dr. Hildebrands writing career continued, however, and was still feeling strong at the age of 100, when he published an article on the theory of chemical solutions. Dr. Hildebrands love of life and his i
29、nterest in it were an inspiration to all who knew him. When asked once how he could have such ageless energy and vigor, he said, “I chose my ancestors carefully.“（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is not mentioned in Para.1 of the text?（分数：1.00）A.The prizes and honors Dr. Joel Hildebrand received.B
30、.Dr. Joel Hildebrands contributions to physical training facilities.C.Dr. Joel Hildebrands talent in technical innovations.D.The number of students Dr. Joel Hildebrand had ever taught.(2).Television in Dr. Hildebrands eyes is probably _.（分数：1.00）A.a powerful weapon for knowledge spreadingB.a favorab
31、le means to promote learningC.something to distract peoples attentionD.the embodiment of scientific and technological progress(3).What distinguished Dr. J. Hildebrand from other students in high school?（分数：1.00）A.His rich knowledge in chemistry.B.His discovery of the formula for some chemical compou
32、nd.C.His being given the key to the chemistry lab.D.His strong interest in chemistry from the very childhood.(4).The use of helium for deep-sea diving _.（分数：1.00）A.helped to overcome the physical discomforts the divers suffered when nitrogen was usedB.was found by Dr. J. HildebrandC.is now still gen
33、erally acknowledged as standard practice for deep-sea divingD.may be thought to contain all the information stated in A, B, and C(5).The passage can best be entitled as _.（分数：1.00）A.A Remarkable Professor of General ChemistryB.A Man to Be Memorized ForeverC.A Great Chemistry Professor Who Lived over
34、 100 YearsD.A Man Who Lived a Long and Valuable LifeBPassage 2/BLewis Hine was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1874. As a young boy, he worked long hours in a local factory, experiencing at first hand conditions he would later document so vividly with his camera.In 1903, he acquired a camera and a fl
35、ashgun, and within a few years became one of the foremost investigative reporters of his days. He first examined the lives of some of the hundreds of thousands of immigrant families who were then crowding the customs sheds at Ellis Island. What happened to them once they set foot on the Promised Lan
36、d? His photographs showed the appalling conditions that awaited most immigrants: overcrowded, filthy slums; violent, dangerous streets; and poor-paying, enslaving jobs at which men and women roiled to support their young families.Next he turned the illuminating light of his camera on the horrific co
37、nditions in Americas coal mines. He recorded the squalor(污秽，卑劣) and desperation suffered by miners and their families. Even the government was shocked by photographs of boys-often as young as nine or ten years of age-dirty-faced, pale, undernourished, employed as breaker boys in the unhealthy and da
38、ngerous interiors of the nations coal mines.Hine soon earned the sobriquet that was to stick with him until the end of his days: “the conscience with a camera.“ In 1908, he was hired as a photographer by the federal governments National Child Labor Committee to investigate child labor conditions in
39、the United States. Hines pictures of children, ill clothed and barefoot, tending machines in cotton mills, stunned America. Hine realized only too clearly that these ragged, exploited children, who had no chance for an education or hope for the future, were not the only victim. By employing a massiv
40、e child labor force (over forty thousand children under sixteen years of age worked in cotton mills), industry was also enslaving an entire adult labor force, undercut by this cheap child labor.Hines photographs were published widely in newspapers, magazines, and National Child Labor Committee repor
41、ts. Many believe that as a direct result of the publication of photographs as disturbing as the vulnerable little girl working in a cotton mill, the federal government introduced legislation to put an end to such child labor practices.（分数：5.00）(1).In the second paragraph, the word “filthy“ probably
42、means _.（分数：1.00）A.dirtyB.poorC.remoteD.overcrowded(2).According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.When Hine was a young boy, his living conditions were appalling.B.Hine was the only one who exposed child labor practices.C.Hine was unable to access cameras duri
43、ng his childhood.D.Hine bravely shouldered the social responsibility as an investigative reporter.(3).In the second paragraph, “the Promised Land“ stands for _.（分数：1.00）A.the Ellis IslandB.a place full of promisesC.the United StatesD.Wisconsin(4).Hine earned the sobriquet as “the conscience with a c
44、amera“ because _.（分数：1.00）A.he was one of the foremost investigative reporters at that timeB.he was an outstanding photographer hired by the federal governmentC.his photographs reflected the horrific conditions of the poor and the inferiorD.his photographs were widely published in newspapers and mag
45、azines(5).Which of the following best serves as the title of this passage?（分数：1.00）A.Truth of Promised LandB.A Great PhotographerC.Poor Conditions of Immigrant ChildrenD.Child Labor Practices in AmericaBPassage 3/BSociety was fascinated by science and things scientific in the nineteenth century. Gre
46、at breakthroughs in engineering, the use of steam power, and electricity were there for all to see, enjoy, and suffer. Science was fashionable and it is not surprising that, during this great period of industrial development, scientific methods should be applied to the activities of man, particularl
47、y to those involved in the processes of production. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, international competition began to make itself felt. The three industrial giants of the day, Germany, America, and Great Britain, began to find that there was a limit to the purchasing power of the previou
48、sly apparently inexhaustible markets. Science and competition therefore provided the means and the need to improve industrial efficiency.Frederick Winslow Taylor is generally acknowledged as being the father of the scientific management approach, as a result of the publication of his book, The Principles of Scientific Management, published in 1911. However, numerous other academics a
