I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students w ere dismissed.(解散）As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explained about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.1.The story took place exactly __________.A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab2.The girl wanted to borrow a pen because ________.A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone3.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy_______.A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room at onceD. to stay behind after the exam4.The things emphasized in her talk was (were)_________.A. honestyB. sense of dutyC. seriousnessD. all of the above5.The boy knew everything________.A.the moment he was asked to stay behindB.when the teacher started talking about honestyC.only some time laterD.when he was walking out of the roomBAlbert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but his peace and quietness were broken by the World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the year following the World War I honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦逊的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize and was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.6.The main idea of the first paragraph is________A. the difficulty of his thought to othersB. the feeling of an American university president to EinsteinC. the difference between science and historyD. the change in human thought produced by Einstein7. It seems to the American university president that_____A. Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in historyB. everybody understand Einstein’s scientific ideasC. the new view of the university can be quickly learned by everyoneD. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein8.

Einstein led a quiet life during the World War ICDr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron Lizard in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a youngster he determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of 14 and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while. He took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.After the cast had been taken off his arm, he caught a squirrel and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school.In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University, he received his Doctor of Science degree.It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral dissertation in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron Lizard. This reptile was distinguished from others of its kind by the fact that it had only four toes on its front feet. In other respects, it was similar to others of the same family.

Shortly after he moved to America, he was inveigled(诱骗)into giving an addres before a group of mathematicians at Princeton University. It took some time, for, with characteristics shy and quiet, he said he had nothing to say that the audience wouldn’t already know. At last he agreed to talk on some aspects of tensor analysis(结量分析). A small card, announcing the speaker, time and place, was put up on the notice board of Fine Hall, where the address was to be given.When the day for the address arrived, Princeton University campus was filled cars, reminding people of the Princeton vs Yale football game, and great crowds of people were walking around Fine Hall, trying to get into the small hall there. It turned out that the little card posted in Fine Hall, and intended only for the interested mathematicians, was read by some students. These informed other students. Students wrote home to parents, and the parents came, picking up friends on the way. The people of Princeton also arrived. Everyone wanted to hear the great man speak.Einstein was led through the shoving crowd and placed in a seat in the front row of the little hall, to wait for introduction at the proper moment. Turning his head and looking about in surprise at the excited and pushing crowd trying to get into the hall, he said to himself,” I never realized that in America there was so much interest in tensor analysis.”16.
