2、 （分数：15.00）_二、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Picnic in the Dining-Room “We shall be having a picnic tomorrow afternoon,“ said my hostess, Mrs. Brown. “It will be quite simple and we shant make any fuss. I think an afternoon in fife open air will do us good, dont you? Would you like to come with
3、 us?“ I had already made an appointment with the hairdresser but I weakly agreed to cancel it. Mrs. Brown smiled graciously. “I shall be making some cakes this afternoon,“ she explained, “so I shant have any free time. I wonder whether you would mind doing some shopping for me during your lunch hour
4、, that is, if you can fit it in.“ She handed me a typewritten list made up of twenty-four separate items, from shrimps to sugared almonds, including an order for a chicken, four sliced loaves, a half-litre of fresh cream and some Camembert, all to be delivered at the house before five o clock. That
5、still left me with plenty to carry myself, and it seemed that if only I could manage to stagger home with my load, there would be no danger of starving the next afternoon. That evening a violent thunderstorm broke. Rain poured down; the sky was split by terrifying flashes of forked lightning while p
6、eals of thunder drowned conversation. But Mrs. Brown was not upset. “It will have cleared up before morning,“ she prophesied. “When this storm has passed we It have ideal weather, you 11 see. The B. B. C. weather forecast has promised sunshine, and they don t often make mistakes.“ She was right. The
7、 following morning was glorious. Early in the morning I could hear her moving about in the kitchen. Breakfast was late and consisted of corn flakes and toast. “I must apologize for neglecting you,“ said Mrs. Brown. “So much to do ! You wont mind making your bed this morning, will you7 Im so busy. Im
8、 afraid we shall have to make do with cold meat and potatoes for lunch.“ The whole morning seemed to be spent in loading the car with a variety of bags, baskets and mysterious parcels. After a lunch of cold mutton, boiled potatoes, and limp damp lettuce, we took our rain jackets and umbrellas and fi
9、tted ourselves into the car. I was in the back seat, squeezed uncomfortably in the midst of a mountain of equipment. We crawled for the next two hours along a main road where a line of traffic was wedged so tightly together that it was almost stationary. Mr. Brown was in charge of the steering wheel
10、 but Mrs. Brown controlled the driving. At last we turned down a narrow lane and started looking for a suitable place for tea. Each one that we saw had its drawbacks: too sunny, too shady, too exposed, too sheltered. “If we were to picnic there, we should be too hot, cold, conspicuous, shut in,“ dec
11、lared Mrs. Brown as she inspected each in turn. At last she decided that a certain meadown ( in reality no different from ally other meadow we had examined) would do. Mr. Brown opened the gate and drove the car inside. We started to unload. I had never in my life realized that so much stuff could be
12、 required for a simple picnic. A folding table was produced together with a clean glossy tablecloth, folding chairs (with cushions), enough crockery and cutlery for a banquet and more than enough food for six courses, paper napkins, a transistor radio, half a dozen illustrated magazines and even soa
13、p, a towel, water and a bowl for washing our hands after the meal. I half expected a crimson carpet, possibly footstools for our feet, with red candles as tasteful table decorations. I did discover a tin of fly killer, a bottle of ammonia for the treatment of stings and even some indigestion tablets
14、. For a whole hour we made our preparations and at last everything that we needed was ready. As we were enjoying our first mouthful of thermosflask soup, a stout man opened the gate and came towards us. “Sorry to make a nuisance of myself, but in five minutes we shall have finished milking the cows,
15、“ he announced. “Theyll be coming back here directly after.“ Mrs. Brown gazed at him speechless for a moment. At last she found words. “But you can see weve only just started eating,“ she protested indignantly. “surely you can delay sending them in for an hour or so?“ “Sorry maam, weve other jobs to
16、 do. Well give you time to clear up: that s the most that we can allow. Say twenty minutes. You know youre trespassing, of course?“ Mrs. Brown seemed to collapse in her chair. I wished I were fifty miles off. Mr. Brown was the only one that accepted the situation philosophically. “It seems to be hig
17、h time we departed,“ was his only comment. Half an hour after we moved off as the cows were wandering down the lane and as the first drops of rain were falling. We joined the traffic jam in the main road. Three hours later we unpacked again and had our picnic in Mrs. Browns dining-room-with a carpet

35、sicist fled the Nazis hating his native country. A century after the German-born scientist formulated his famous theory of relativity in Switzerland, and 50 years after his death on April 18, 1955, Einstein is being reclaimed by the country he rejected. Celebrations of the so-called “Einstein Year“
36、of 2005 are taking place around the world, but nowhere are the tributes to the man with the droopy (下垂的) eyes and bushy grey hair so laden with historical baggage as in Germany. Germanys rediscovery of Einstein began in 2003 when he was picked by millions of television viewers in a survey as one of
37、the “best Germans“ of all time. The German government has gone all out to understand Einstein better, who became one of the worlds first popular scientist after his theories about space, time and relativity revolutionized science in the early 20th century. “It is a bit strange,“ said Juergen Neffe,
38、author of a German biography on Einstein that has been near the top of best-seller lists here since it was published in January. In his book, he wrote, “Einstein hated the Nazis and extended his hatred to all Germans for letting it happen. Its certainly true that he hated Germany, but he would never
39、theless be pleased about Germanys development in the last 30 years.“ Born in the Bavarian city of Ulm in 1879, Einstein moved to Switzerland at 17 to evade military service. After graduating from the Polytechnic School in Zurich he wrote scientific papers in his spare time while working as a Swiss p
40、atent officer. In 1905, Einsteins “miracle year“, he formulated his theory of relativity, an explanation of the relationship between time and space that challenged a view of the universe that had stood since the days of Sir Isaac Newton 200 years before. Einsteins fame soared in 1919 after his theor
41、y was proven. He won a Nobel Prize in 1921, after which Germany and Switzerland both claimed him as theirs. But Einstein didnt stop. His special theory also provided the basis for his most famous discovery, E=mc2, an equation that opened the door to the atomic age. The formula is known around the wo

48、y, which have been in power by turns since 1945. The twoparty system of Britain was formed in the course of the development of the capitalist state and the political parties. In order to strengthen the state machine, the British bourgeoisie have let it come into being and exist in one form or another form since the 17 th century. P. S.
