This can be realized when we remember that one pound to coal burned in the furnace of a power station (26) raise enough team to drive a generator (27) wi
17、ll produce enough current to light a one barelectric fire for three hours. On the other hand, if all the energy in the atoms of a pound of coal could be released, (28) should be enough energy to (29) all the machinery in all the factories in Britain for a month.In simpler words, all this means that
18、one pound of any element or compound of element, if completely converted (30) energy by breaking up the atoms, would (31) the same amount of heat (32) the burning of 1,500,000 tons of coal. Scientists have calculated that if a bucket of sand from the beach could be completely (33) into energy, and i
19、f the energy so obtained was used to drive electric generators, enough (34) would be produced to supply the whole of Europe for five years. (35) other words, a bucket of sand contains enough energy to (36) a thousand million pounds worth of electricity.Albert Einstein was the first man to realize th
20、e vast (37) of energy locked in the atom. Einstein was also the first to show in theory how the energy of the atom might be released. Indeed without Einsteins theory (38) was the result of many complicated mathematical calculations, there would never have been any practical (39) of nuclear power.In
21、1905, which was many years before other scientists really understood a great deal about atomic energy, Einstein declared that if you “destroyed“ a given mass of matter, you would obtain (40) its place an enormous amount of energy.(41) support this theory, Einstein worked (42) what is probably the mo
22、st important equation in the history of mathematics. It was (43) no means a complicated equation, but in fact a very simple (44) . Here it is: E=MC2.Turned into simple language, Einsteins equation means that energy(E) is equal (45) mass(M) multiplied by the speed of light(C) squared(C2).(分数:20.00)A.

25、xt 1(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of cha
26、racteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high voltage transformers, heroes take the
27、 energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willin
28、g to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the
29、mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible fo
30、r large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.(分数:10.00)(1).Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _.(分数:2.00)A.generally possess certain inspiring characterist
31、icsB.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD.all unknowingly attract a large number of fans(2).According to the passage, heroes are compared to high voltage transformers in that _.(分数:2.00)A.they have a vision from the mountaintopB.they have w
32、arm feelings and emotionsC.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD.they can make people feel stronger and more confident(3).Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _.(分数:2.00)A.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB.their performances do not impr
33、ove their fans morallyC.their primary concern is their own financial interestsD.they are not clear about the principles they should follow(4).Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _.(分数:2.00)A.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB.can move the m
34、asses with their forceful speechesC.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD.can provide an answer to the problems of their people(5).The author concludes that historical changes would _.(分数:2.00)A.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB.not happen without heroes ma
35、king the necessary sacrificesC.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD.produce leaders with attractive personalities八、Text 2(总题数:1,分数:10.00)From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or finishing wholesale expansion program
36、s. These programs already have dramatically altered appearances and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future.In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so.The reasons for this
37、 activity are complex, but one factor is a consideration everywherespace. With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has become a very precious commodity.Probably nowhere in the country is this more tree than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has
38、 needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago. Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has become increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art, in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections. Se
39、lling off works of art has taken on new importance because of the museums space problems. And increasingly, museum presidents have been forced to rotate one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage.Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space, however “the mus
40、eum has no plan, no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years,“ according to Philadelphia Museum of Arts president.(分数:10.00)(1).Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Museums functions are changing.B.Museums collections have been enlarged.C.Most museums
41、need more space.D.More new museums must be built.(2).It can be inferred from the passage that _.(分数:2.00)A.some museums have been expandedB.many museums are equipped with modem facilitiesC.some buildings in neighborhoods have been turned into museumsD.many museums have been remodeled for commercial
42、purposes(3).“The space crunch“ most probably means _.(分数:2.00)A.additional spaceB.space problemC.space expansionD.space loss(4).It can be concluded from the passage that the Philadelphia Museum of Art _.(分数:2.00)A.only collects paintings by American artistsB.has sold many paintings to foreign collec
43、torsC.has a larger collection of paintings than other museumsD.only exhibits a portion of its collection of paintings(5).Because of insufficient space the Philadelphia Museum of Art must _.(分数:2.00)A.strengthen its collection through donationsB.be cautious in allowing the public to visit its artwork
44、C.collect more money to build a new large museumD.be selective in accepting additional artwork九、Text 3(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Amtrak (美国铁路客运公司) was experiencing a downswing in ridership (客运量) along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were
45、the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times
46、 change and the automobile became Americas standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their att
47、itudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.Two portions of the total market were targeted: anxious fliersthose concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and travel-loversthose viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel
48、experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures
49、.Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.).These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad. enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Se
