We dont know how strong it is, how it works or how fast its effects move. But this year we made progress.October saw the

21、most accurate measurement yet of Newtons gravitational constant(引力常数 ), G, a measure of the strength of the gravitational interaction between two objects. A Swiss team calculated Gs value by measuring how the gravitational pull of two huge tanks of mercury affected the weights of test masses.However

22、, there are discrepancies between measurements of G made in different labs. This year a highly contentious(有争议的) explanation for this was proposed. A group of string theorists proposed that gravity is subtly affected by magnetic fields, and that G should be larger near Earths poles where the magneti

23、c field is stronger. Sure enough, this fits with the measurements so far. So Gs varying values might just be the first proof of the hidden dimensions predicted by string theory.Equally tantalising is possible evidence for the existence of gravitational waves, the ripples in space-time supposedly cau

24、sed by abrupt, violent cosmic events. An Italian team reported that two massive aluminium bars, one at CERN(欧洲粒子物理研究所) near Geneva, the other in Italy, had once vibrated in unison(一致)perhaps as a result of a passing gravitational wave, they suggest.The claims will be closely scrutinised by gravity r

25、esearchers in Washington state. They got to turn on a very expensive toy this year. LIGO, one of the biggest scientific instruments ever built. Its twin sets of intersecting 4-kilometre-long laser beams should be very sensitive to any waves. But so far the $400-million machine has not seen anything.

26、At least one gravitational mystery has (hopefully) been wrapped up this year. when you move something, how long before its new position will affect its gravitational pull on surrounding objects? In other words, what is the speed of gravity? Newton thought the effect instantaneous, but Einstein said

27、it could travel no faster than the speed of light.Astronomers have finally devised a way to test which one of them was right, based on the way gravity bends radio waves from a distant quasar(类星体). They finished the experiment in September. We dont yet know the answer but our money is on Einstein.（分数

28、：6.00）(1).Why is gravitation considered to be a slippery beast?（分数：1.00）A.Because it gives people so much trouble.B.Because it is much stronger than expected.C.Because no progress has been made about it.D.Because it remains largely unknown to peopl(2).What kind of metal did the Swiss team use to cal

29、culate the Gs value?（分数：1.00）A.goldB.silverC.mercuryD.lead(3).A highly controversial explanation proposed by string theorists is that _.（分数：1.00）A.magnetic fields affect gravity subtlyB.G is larger near the Earths polesC.G has a number of hidden dimensionsD.discrepancies emerge between measures of G

30、(4).The report given by the Italian team might provide evidence that _.（分数：1.00）A.two things far apart might vibrate in unisonB.the ripples in space-time are only imaginedC.there exist gravitational wavesD.abrupt, violent cosmic events lead to gravitational waves(5).Until now LIGO has _.（分数：1.00）A.n

31、ever been turned on yetB.been the biggest scientific instrumentC.done nothing to look for the gravitational wavesD.found no gravitational waves(6).From the passage we can infer that _.（分数：1.00）A.Newton and Einstein had similar opinions on the speed of gravityB.the author of the passage is in favor o

32、f Einsteins thought about the speed of gravityC.astronomers think that both Newton and Einstein were wrong on the speed of gravityD.Newtons thought about the gravitational effect is out of date十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)What makes teenagers moody and impulsive? The answer used to be raging hormones

33、 plus a dearth of(短缺) life experiences. But three years ago this simple equation was blown apart by evidence from brain scans of strange goings-on behind the teenage forehead.Till then, scientists had thought the brains internal structure was fixed by the end of childhood. The new scans showed the b

34、rains frontal cortex(皮层) thickening just before puberty(青春期), then slowly shrinking back to normal during the teenage years. Suddenly, the erratic huffiness(发怒) seemed to make sense: the teenage brain was a work in progress, a house in the process of being rewired.Now comes more evidence of neural t

35、urmoil. According to psychologists in California, the speed with which youngsters can read the emotional expressions on peoples faces dips suddenly at around the age of 11 or 12 and takes years to get back on track.The latest study, like the brain scan research before it, is a welcome and necessary

36、part of building up a picture of a typical teenage brain so that scientists can get a better handle on what might be happening in the mental illnesses that appear to be afflicting children and adolescents in ever greater numbers. But there are dangers.Scientists still have no idea how to interpret t

37、he subtle changes seen in adolescent brain scans. Yet in the wrong hands, these findings could be used to justify hothousing, impulse control training and other dubious attempts to get the most out of malleable teenage brain cells. The science could also spark a new wave of moralising based on a per

38、ceived need to protect teenagers evolving brain connections from evil or toxic influences.Incredibly, some scientists have already suggested in the press that the brain scan evidence somehow proves that it is biologically bad for teenagers to play video games or lie on the couch watching MTV. A hund

39、red years, ago one well-known “expert“ urged teenage boys to drink six to eight glasses of hot water a day to flush impure thoughts from their bodies. Have we really learned so little?（分数：6.00）(1).In the past it was thought that teenagers were moody and impulsive because of_.（分数：1.00）A.their innocen

40、ce and lack of life experienceB.their raging hormones and lack of life experienceC.their radical attitudes towards lifeD.the generation gap between teenagers and their parents(2).In the last line, paragraph two, “a house in the process of being rewired“ indicates that _.（分数：1.00）A.teenagers like to

41、live in a house rewiredB.teenagers brain structure like a houseC.teenage brain is working in progress like a house being rewiredD.teenager tend not to get erratic huffiness if the house ,is rewired(3).From the passage we can learn that _.（分数：1.00）A.the teenage brain is a kind of work in progressB.th

42、e new brain scans support the conventional thoughtC.the brains frontal cortex becomes bigger during the teenager yearsD.at the age of 11 or 12 teenagers are unable to find out peoples true feelings(4).The latest study is very helpful in that _.（分数：1.00）A.it can take clearer pictures of teenagers bra

43、insB.scientists will meet with fewer, dangers in their research workC.it may help scientists understand better the mental illness in teenagersD.it may enable teenagers to experience fewer dangers during teenager years(5).According to paragraph five, which of the following statements reflects the pre

44、sent medical reality?（分数：1.00）A.It is biologically bad for teenagers to play games or lie on the couch watching MTV.B.Teenager boys should drink six or eight glasses of hot water in the morning everyday.C.Scientists should apply the findings of brain scans to practical use as soon as possible.D.Scie

45、ntists still dont know how to explain the subtle changes seen in teenager brain scans.(6).The authors attitude towards the findings of teenagers brain scans can be concluded as _.（分数：1.00）A.cautiousB.positiveC.prejudicedD.neutral十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Is nothing sacred? Even the idle weekend

46、 pastime of skimming stones on a lake has been taken apart and reduced to a mathematical formula.Everyone knows a stone bounces best on water if its round and flat, and spun towards the water as fast as possible. Some enthusiasts even travel to international stone-skimming competitions, like world c

47、hampion Jerdone Coleman-McGhee, who made a stone bounce 38 times on Blanco River, Texas, in 1992.Intuitively,a flat stone works best because a relatively large part of its surface strikes the water, so theres more bounce. Inspired by his eight-year-old son, physicist Lyderic Bocquet of Lyon Universi

48、ty in France wanted to find out more. So he tinkered with some simple equations describing a stone bouncing on water in terms of its radius(半径) ,speed and spin, and taking account of gravity and the waters drag.The equations showed that the faster a spinning stone is travelling, the more times it wi

49、ll bounce. So no surprise there. To bounce at least once without sinking, Bocquet found the stone needs to be travelling at a minimum speed of about 1 kilometre per hour.And the equations also backed his hunch(直觉) that spin is important because it keeps the stone fairly flat from one bounce to the next. The spin has a gyroscopic(陀螺的) effect, preventing the stone from tipping and falling sideways into the water.To m
