A liquid can be kept in an open container and (2)_it to the level of
16、 a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but (3)_to diffuse throughout the space available; it must (4)_be kept in a closed container, as (5)_a planets atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories (6)_ the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one the
17、ory maintained that a liquid could be dissolved in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are (7)_different kinds of molecules(分子). The theories now prevailing (8)_a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both
18、 forms of matter that have no permanent structure, and they both flow easily. They are fluids. The (9)_similarity of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat. (10)_a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands,
19、 or (11)_, becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. (12)_, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature and pressure (13)_the densities become equal is (14)_ the critical point. Above the critical point the liquid and
20、 the gas can no longer be (15)_; there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.（分数：1.05）A.inB.onC.underD.beyondA.fillsB.be filledC.fillingD.to fillA.intendsB.tendsC.inclinesD.contendsA.howeverB.neverthelessC.soD.thereforeA.in the event ofB.in the case ofC.with a view toD.with re

Even tho
37、se ancient Greeks believed that all numbers and their multiples had some mystical significance. Those numbers between 1 and 13 were in particular to have a powerful influence over the affairs of men, For example, it is commonly said that luck, good or bad, comes in threes; ii an accident happens, tw
38、o more of the same kind may be expected soon afterwards. The arrival of a letter will be followed by two others within a certain period. Another belief involving the number three has it that it is unlucky to light three cigarettes from the one match. If this happens, the bad luck that goes with the
39、deed falls upon the person whose cigarette was the last to be lit. The ill-omen linked to the lighting of three things from one match or candle goes back to at least the 17th century and probably earlier. It was believed that three candles alight at the same time would be sure to bring had luck; one
40、, two, or four, were permissible, but never just three. Seven was another significant number, usually regarded as a bringer of good luck. The ancient astrologers believed that the universe was governed by seven planets; students of Shakespeare will recall that the life of man was divided into seven
41、ages. Seven horseshoes nailed to a house will protect it from all evil. Nine is usually thought of as a lucky number because it is the product of three times three, It was much used by the Anglo-Saxons in their charms for healing. Another belief was that great changes occurred every 7th and 9th of a
42、 mans life. Consequently, the age of 63 (the product of nine times seven) was thought to be a very perilous time for him. If he survived his 63rd year he might hope to live to a ripe old age. Thirteen, as we well know, is regarded with great awe and fear. The common belief is that this derives from
43、the fact that there were 13 people at Christs Last Supper. This being the eve of his betrayal, it is not difficult to understand the significance given to the number by the early Christians. In more modern times 13 is an especially unlucky number of a dinner party, for example. Hotels will avoid num
44、bering a floor the 13th, the progression is from i2 to 14, and no room is given the number 18. Many home owners will use 12(1/2) instead of 13 as their house number. Yet oddly enough, to be born on the 13th of the month is not regarded with any fear at all, which just shows how irrational we are in
45、our superstitious beliefs. （分数：0.99）(1).According to the passage, which of the following groups of numbers will certainly bring good luck to people?（分数：0.33）A.3 and 7.B.3 and 9.C.7 and 9.D.3 and 13.(2).The ill luck associated with 13 is supposed to have its origin in _.（分数：0.33）A.legendB.religionC.popular beliefD.certain
