For every man in the Civil War who died in battle, two or three men died of disease.Doctors of that time knew very little about causes of sickness or ways of preventing it. Thousands of men in poor health became soldiers. Hundreds of others had never had childhood diseases. Many of these soldiers could not withstand the epidemics ofmeasles, mumps, and whooping cough that went through the camps.Army life was hard . Soldiers got few fruits or vegetables . There was no milk unless they happened to find a cow. Neither their clothes nor their sheltersprotected the troops from rain, snow , and cold. Sickness anddisease were spread by insects, rats, and impure drinking water. Often the men drank straight from muddy streams.

Warm water freezes more quickly than cold. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost fourhundred years ago. But few people believed him – till 1970. In that year Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr. Kell filled an open pail with cold water. He exposed both to the same low temperature. The warm water froze first.The lack （缺少） of covers on the pails was the secret. Some of the warm water changed to vapor. （水蒸气） It evaporated （蒸发） into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water – even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.Sir Francis Bacon was(A) an Americanexperimenter(B)aCanadianscientist(C)an Englishscholar(D)anAustralian writerDr. Kell’s pails were both(A)filled withwater(B) leftuncovered(C)exposed tothe same temperature(D) all oftheaboveThe second paragraph tells why(A) Dr. Kell wasstudyingwater(B)the warm water frozefirst(C)Dr.Kell used pails inhis work(D) water freezes inundergroundpipesNo water vapor would have escaped into the air if the pails had been(A)warmed(B) covered(C) shaken(D)filledThe cold water froze more slowly because(A) salt wasaddedto it(B) its pailwassmaller(C)there was more of itleft(D)the air near it wasmoving难度：中 分值：5.03. Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer :” I put out fires” or “I fix sick people” or “ I teach primary school”. As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley. With these expectations we were fairly comfortable; they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable —and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to ----is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “What is the nature of Reality ?”We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.According to the passage, in a way physicists are(A) intelligent(B) comfortable(C) strange(D)unlucky Judging from th e context, the word “guru” in the first paragraph most probably meansa person(A)who acts as a teacher and answersbig questions(B)who gives wrong answers to bigquestions(C)who does not like to answer bigquestions(D) who is eager to supplyanswersto big questionsWhich of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists?(A)Physicists do not like their job(B) Physicists live in twodifferentworlds(C) Physicistsare coming up with newanswers toold questions(D)Physicists don’t have to tellpeoplewhat they are doingWhich of the following statements is true?(A )Theoretica lphysicists only have to answer the basic questions about the world(B)Theoretica lphysicists contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley(C ) Theoretical physicists havedisappointe d the expectation s of many people(D )Theoreticalphysicists have foundit hard to makefriends with ordinary peopleWhich of the following is true about the job of physicists?(A)It is getting more and moredifficult(B)It is beyond thecomprehension of ordinarypeople(C) A person with averageintelligencecan not do it(D) Both AandB难度：较易 分值：5.04. Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairyones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern south America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.They have anther unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass. The bird-eating spider can be described as(A)a veryhairy spider(B) a very frightening spider(C) the largest ofspiders(D) All of the aboveThis spider lives where the climate is(A)wetand hot(B) cool and dry(C) hot and dry(D) cool and wetThe article says that the bird-eating spider is a kind of(A) large crab(B) tarantula(C)black widow spider(D) all of theaboveCompared with the bite of a black widow spider, the bite of a tarantula is(A) more dangerous(B) less dangerous(C) just as dangerous(D) noneof theabovebird-eating spiders hunt(A) during the day(B) at night(C) at dawn(D) both A and B难度：中 分值：5.05. A fla g is more than a piece of cloth. It stands for a nation’s people – their land,history, and ideals. Iceland’s flag, for instance, stands for features of the land. Red is for the fire of Iceland’s volcanoes. (火山）White is for ice. Blue is for the mountains. On India’s flag, the blue wheel stands for peace and progress. The white stripe (条纹) behind it is for truth. The black stripe on the flag of Malawi stands for the Negro people of that African land.

The word horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made theworld’s first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.The selection says that Watt made the first(A) engine(B) steam engine(C) widelyused steamengine(D) useful enginewatt wanted to find a way to(A)measuretheworkhis enginecoulddo(B) tell people how powerful his engine was(C) lift a 3300-pound weight(D) both A and BHe made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of(A) a man(B) ten horses(C) his engine(D) a horseOne horsepower would equal the(A)work ahorsecould do in aminute(B) weight a horse could lift(C) work a horse could do in tenminutes(D) weight of one horseThe best title for this selection is(A) Watt’s Engine (B)The Origin of the Term Horsepower (C) Units of Measurement (D)ItHappened 200 YearsAgo难度：中 分值：5.0B A B X B。
