Today, other astronomers continue the work he began. Many of them are using the Hubble Space Telescope that is named after him.Edwin Powell Hubble was born in 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri. He spent his early years in the state of Kentucky. Then he moved with his family to Chicago, in Louisville. He attended the University of Chicago. He studied mathematics and astronomy. Hubble was a good student. He was a good athlete, too. He was a member of the University of Chicago championship basketball team in 1909. He also was an excellent boxer. Several people urged him to train for the world heavyweight boxing championship after college. Instead, he decided to continue his studies. He went to Queen’s College at Oxford, England.At Oxford, Hubble studied law. He was interested in British Common Law, because his family had come to America from England many years before. He spent three years at Oxford. In 1913, Hubble returned to the United States. He opened a law office in Louisville, Kentucky. After a short time, however, he decided he did not want to be a lawyer. He returned to the University of Chicago. There, once again, he studied astronomy. Edwin Hubble was the first person to use the Hale Telescope. He died in 1953 while preparing to spend four nights looking through the telescope at the sky.Hubble’s work led to new researche s on the birth of the universe. One astronomer said scientists have been filling in the details ever since. And, he said, there is a long way to go.⑴．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Edwin Hubble’s LifeB．Edwin Hubble’s DiscoveriesC．The Hubble Space TelescopeD．Edwin Hubble—a Famous Lawyer⑵．According to this passage Edwin Hubble was most interested in ________.A．sports B．law C．astronomy D．mathematics⑶．Edwin Hubble returned to the University of Chicago because ________.A．he was interested in British Common LawB．he was eager to be a famous judge in futureC．his parents had been to Britain a few years beforeD．he wanted to go on with the study of astronomyBNobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.（4）．Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.A．Nobel was a man of strong willB．Nobel was a man of giftC．Nobel seldom got on well with his workD．Nobel had his heart in his work（5）．In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.A．a war to kill and injure his fellow menB．building roadsC．digging tunnelsD．both B and C（6）．Nobel also had much financial sense because ________.A．he had a very strong desire for moneyB．he cared about nothing but making profitsC．he managed money matter well, making the best use of chances for making profitsD．he invented bombs in order to make money（7）．Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.A．took a single interest in scienceB．took a serious interest in moneyC．took no interest in literatureD．took a serious interest in literature as well as in scienceCI am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.The red ribbon，an international symbol of AIDS awareness，is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese，from top leaders to movie stars，wear it today.Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌)．Over the past few years，we have watched，read and heard many stories from doctors，volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programs，and financial input.The latter rose from less than 1 million Yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million Yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable，especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?The figures，ranging from confirmed cases to estimates，remain debated.After all，no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was making public.Unknown numbers from the high risk groups’ drug addicts and people working in sexrelated place as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.（8）．What does the red ribbon stand for?A．AIDS.B．World AIDS Day.C．AIDS awareness.D．AIDS prevention and treatment.（9）．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.B．The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.C．Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.D．The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.（10）．In Paragraph 5 “The latter” refers to________.A．financial inputB．new prevention programsC．new treatment programsD．the central governments(11)．What is the best title of the passage?A．The Red RibbonB．Always Keep Red Ribbon in SightC．About AIDSD．Help People with AIDSDNew York City consists of five boroughs：Manhattan，Brooklyn，Queens，the Bronx and Staten Island.The population is about 7.5 million living in Manhattan.Manhattan，the center of the city，is on an island between the Hudson River and the East River.Most of the famous buildings such as the Empire State and the United Nations and other skyscrapers are in Manhattan.Some of its districts are Broadway，which has many theatersand cinemas；the Fifth Avenue，with stores and apartments；Greenwich Village，where many artists and writers have lived；and Central Park，with a small zoo and a skating rink.From Manhattan you have to cross to the other boroughs through a tunnel or over a bridge.The bridge from Brooklyn to Staten Island is the longest in the world.New York is the second largest port in the world and it has two airports：Kennedy International for international flights and La Guaridia for flights inside the USA.Its temperature goes from very cold in winter (sometimes twenty degrees centigrade below zero) to very hot in summer (sometimes 40 degrees centigrade)．The people who live there come from all over the world and speak many different languages；there are 324 Germans and 390,000 Poles as well as people from Greece，Scotland，Ireland，Hungary，Italy and Romania.People call one district “Little Italy” and another “Chinatown”．（12）．What do we know about Manhattan?A．Manhattan is in the east of the city of New York.B．There are lots of highrises in Manhattan.C．Manhattan is not a place for artists to live in.D．Manhattan is connected to the other parts of New York by way of highways.（13）．If you want to see wonderful plays，you should go to________.A．the Fifth Avenue B．Central ParkC．Broadway D．the Empire State Building（14）．One district of New York City is called “Chinatown” because________.A．it is part of China and is administered by the Chinese governmentB．the main citizens there are mainly from ChinatownC．it is a district that has a large number of Chinese peopleD．it is a district that is famous for China making（15）．If you go from Italy，you are supposed to get to New York through________Airport.A．Kennedy International B．La GuaridiaC. either of the above twoD. neither of the above twoEIf there is one thing I’m sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives，like genetic(基因) engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newsp apers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact，I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn’t happened.What it read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.（16）．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspaperD．The Future of Newspaper（17）．In the writer’s opinion，in the future，________.A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make newsB．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC．newspapers will cover more scientific researchD．more and more people will watch TV（18）．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.（19）．From the passage，we can infer ________.A．newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB．newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC．television will take the place of newspapersD．the writer believes some media will die out（20）．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.A．depend on B．compete with C．fight with D．kill off姓名：________________ 学号：____________ 班级：____________ 得分：___________1、Children wearing school u_____________ looks
