14、阅读理解 20 He is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know relatively little about his mathematical achievements. Unlike many later Greek mathematicians, where at least we have some of the books which they wrote, w

15、e have nothing of his writings. Questions: 21 Who of the following figures do you think is being described? （ A） Pythagoras. （ B） Plato. （ C） Aristotle. （ D） Heraclitus. 22 From this you can infer that the most relevant answer to the topic is_. （ A） a lot has been written about him （ B） little has b

16、een written about him （ C） he wrote nothing （ D） he might have written something 22 Our words are amalgams of some sound and meaning, and put in some order to express our feelings, thoughts, information, beliefs and so on, for different purposes in life. We also understand others by interpreting the

17、ir words, which may involve certain background knowledge, perspectives, and affected by many factors, which he thinks are not amenable to scientific studies. Questions: 23 The word amalgam can be understood as_. （ A） combination （ B） disassociation （ C） illusion （ D） disillusion 24 From this you can

18、 infer that language use can be approached scientifically_. （ A） very easily （ B） not very easily （ C） without any possibility （ D） in some conditions 24 God, having designed man for a sociable creature, made him not only with an inclination, and under a necessity to have fellowship with those of hi

19、s own kind, but furnished him also with language, which was to be the great instrument and common tie of society. Man, therefore, had by nature his organs so fashioned, as to be fit to frame articulate sounds, which we call words. But this was not enough to produce language; for parrots, and several

20、 other birds, will be taught to make articulate sounds distance enough, which yet by no means are capable of language. Questions: 25 The word articulate can be understood as_. （ A） discrete （ B） fuzzy （ C） easy to understand （ D） difficult to understand 26 From this you can infer that_. （ A） languag

21、e is totally evolved （ B） language is a natural endowment （ C） animal and human languages are the same （ D） parrots can speak a human language 26 Besides these names which stand for ideas, there be other words which men make use of, not to signify any idea, but the want or absence of some ideas, sim

22、ple or complex, or all ideas together; such as are Nihil in Latin, and in English, ignorance and barrenness. All which negative or privative words cannot be said properly to belong to, or signify no ideas: for then they would be perfectly insignificant sounds; but they relate to positive ideas, and

24、s. Clark, dressed in a black woolen cardigan and dark grey trousers, appealed for privacy so that she could rebuild her and her familys lives. “Being separated from my husband for so long has been a living hell,“ she said. “Being deprived of more than three years of being a mum to our little boy has

25、 been even worse. And yet somehow, despite our separation and against all the odds, we have managed to remain a family and stay close. My little boy knows that he has a mummy and daddy who love him very much, and thats what counts.“ Questions: 29 According to the passage, Mrs. Clarks family life has

26、 been_. （ A） adversely affected （ B） damaged （ C） maintained without any problem （ D） robbed 30 From this passage you can infer that Mrs. Clark has been_. （ A） divorced （ B） engaged （ C） imprisoned （ D） disdained 30 The most puzzling and intriguing moving things visible to humans have always been th

27、e Sun, the Moon, the planets and the stars we can see in the night sky. Newtons new calculus, combined with his “Laws of Motion“, made a mathematical model for the force of gravity that not only described the observed motions of planets and stars in the night sky, but also of swinging weights and fl

28、ying cannonballs in England. Questions: 31 According to the passage, Newton_. （ A） invented calculus （ B） renovated calculus （ C） plagiarized calculus （ D） harrowed calculus 32 From this passage you can infer that before Newton_. （ A） algebra and. geometry only describe things that are sitting still

32、nd B （ D） out of neglect 34 Today the functions of theory and observation are divided into two distinct communities in physics. Both experiments and theories are much more complex than back in Newtons time. Theorists are exploring areas of Nature in mathematics that technology so far does not allow

33、us to observe in experiments. Many of the theoretical physicists who are alive today may not live to see how the real Nature compares with the mathematical description in their work. Todays theorists have to learn to live with ambiguity and uncertainty in their mission to describe Nature using math.

34、 Questions: 35 According to the passage, todays experiments and theories in physics are_. （ A） less certain than before （ B） more certain than before （ C） ascertain as before （ D） less complex than before 36 From this passage you can infer that mathematics_. （ A） is powerful all the time （ B） may be

35、 helpless sometimes （ C） is a useful tool of description （ D） needs not be developed 37 From this passage you can infer that technology._. （ A） is no longer useful （ B） has a limited role to play （ C） is more and more important （ D） is not science 38 “real Nature“ could be best understood as_. （ A）

37、ironment allowing full competition and decentralized initiatives. The task ahead is vast and delicate, but the objective is not to start from scratch again and build a completely new regulatory framework. Fortunately for the regulator, most of the existing regulations remain relevant. Questions: 39

38、According to the passage, todays business environment calls for_. （ A） new regulations （ B） more powerful government administration （ C） more subsidies （ D） more protectionism 40 From this passage you can infer that_. （ A） a completely new regulatory framework needs to be built （ B） a completely new

40、y the private actors commit only to the objective but remain free to choose any means. This method is more and more often used in the United States. It meets the American “institutional idea“ namely it limits the role of government as much as possible, and is conceptually backed by simple argumentat

41、ion: only business is flexible enough to adapt to a rapidly evolving, unpredictable environment. For this reason, business is ready to take responsibility, in order to avoid binding regulations; government regards business as being capable of more flexibility and efficiency; and the American public

42、doesnt find anything unusual in such a deal. Questions: 42 According to the passage,_. （ A） private actors are constrained with means set up by the government （ B） government has more and more authority （ C） business has more autonomy （ D） government is not efficient 43 From this passage you can inf

45、lling 45 U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, has resigned. Analysts say Bolton was unable to satisfy Senate opponents, who were concerned he would pursue a unilateral U. S. foreign policy. And his post became even more tenuous after Democrats took control of Congress in November ele

46、ctions. Bolton had a history of angering diplomats and colleagues in his previous State Department job. And he could not gain sufficient support from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to stay on. He is to leave the U. N. post when the current session of the U. S. Congress ends, possible at the

47、end of the week. Bush appointed Bolton in August 2005 to reform the world body. But Bolton is leaving at a time when U. S. foreign policy is fraught with global challenges. Questions: 46 Why has John Bolton resigned? 47 Why did Bush appoint Bolton as Ambassador to the United Nations? 48 Why kind of

48、policy does the U. S. follow for foreign affairs? 48 In the Iraqi capital of Bagahdad, the trail of Saddam Hussein on charges of genocide against the kurds continues. If convicted the former Iraqi leader could get a second death penalty on top of the one he received after his conviction in the Dujai

49、l trial. Saddam and his 6 co-defendants were present to hear the Anfal case on Monday. The prosecution claims about 180,000 people, mostly civilians, were killed in a crackdown between 19871988.
