35、 of the abilities to reason and feel emotion, and a lack of interaction between the patient and his environment. The hallucinations may be a visual, auditory, or tactile.

His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific communitys underst

40、anding of atomic and subatomic processes. Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequenc

41、ies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multi

42、plying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals by. The constant, h, is known as Plancks constant.

Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields. 56 In which of the following fields did Max Planck NOT make a significant contribution? （ A

44、） Optics. （ B） Thermodynamics. （ C） Statistical mechanics. （ D） Biology. 57 The word “revolutionary“ as used in Line 16 means _. （ A） radical （ B） extremist （ C） momentous （ D） militaristic 58 It can be inferred from the passage that Plancks work led to the development of which of the following? （ A

In 1907 a special commission decided that the modem game was

48、 invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s Engl

49、ish boys played a game they called “baseball“. Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country - “town ball“, “rounders“, or “one old cat“. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game. Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Bas
