AEinstein had a rich sense of humour, though his mind was always busy thinking about problems of nature and working out new theories. He would sometimes tell a joke or two even when he might be speaking about some complicated theory of physics to a learned group of scientists. For example, he once gave a talk on his theory of time. He discussed dozens of different ideas about time. But after anhour or so he suddenly stopped, and with a look that see med to say “I'm sorry”, he asked, “Does anyone know what time it is? I'm afraid, it's getting late.”Another time towards the end of his life, when he was with a group of young students, mostly young men, he was asked to explain his law of relativity. He s miled, and then said, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity.”21．This passage mainly tells us that Einstein ________.A．was always busy working out new theoriesB．was always busy thinking about problems of natureC．always gave lectures on his theoriesD．was a man of humour22．Einstein would sometimes tell a joke or two to make ________.A．his students laugh B．his talk interestingC．use of the very situation D．his talk longer23．The example to explain the theory of relativity was given by Einstein when he was ________.

Yuan is known as the “father of hybrid rice” in China. A post written by a netizen called “Tiannan Dibei” on called for Yuan's nomination(提名). It cited(引用) Nobel Peace Laureate Mother Teresa in 1979 for her contribution to global charity, and Norman Borlaug in 1970 for his invention of a high-output wheat useful for developing countries.“The Nobel Peace Prize does not limit its winners to politicians and organizations devoted to the prevention of war,” the post said. “It's also open to people and organizations who try to eliminate(消除) problems and narrow the wealth gap.” “Elimination of poverty and hunger is creating peace,” it said. “With his extraordinary contribution to grai n growth in the country and the world, Yuan is fully qualified for the prize.”The Beijing News reported that a member of the Nobel Committee said in a meeting with students of Tsinghua Unversity in March that China is likely to make breakthroughs in the Nobel literature and peace prizes.This year's Nobel Peace Prize went to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank for their continuous efforts to grant small sum loans to the poor.This Friday, more than 94 percent of more than 8500 people surveyed were in favor of Yuan getting the prize. Y uan, a household name in China, is regarded as the most famous farmer in the country. He is noted for inventing a form of rice with a much higher output than average crops.With more than half of China's paddy fields growing Yuan's rice, his invention has fed millions of people in the world's most populous country. His “super rice” has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries.24．From the first two paragraphs, we know that ________．A．Yuan Longping has been nominated for Nobel Peace PrizeB．Yuan Longping should have been the winner of Nobel Peace PrizeC．Yuan Longping is very popular with many netizensD．Yuan Longping will win Nobel Peace Prize of the next year25．The poster mentions “Mother Teresa” and “Norman Borlaug” in order to ________．A．praise them for their contribution to the worldB．review the winners of Nobel Peace Prize in historyC．support his opinion as evidenceD．encourage us to learn from them26．Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A．Nobel Peace Prize is often awarded to the politicians．B．The winners of Nobel Peace Prize are from all the field of life．C．Yuan Longping defends the world peace by eliminating poverty and hunger．D．Yuan Longping and Norman Borlaug are both scientists in agriculture．27．The reporter of the news expresses his ________ attitude towards the post．A．supportive B．objective C．admiring D．negativeCGwendolyn Brooks was a highly regarded, much-honored poet, with the distinction of being the first black author to win the Pulitzer Prize. She was also poetry consultant to the Library of Congress—the first black woman to hold that position—and poet laureate（桂冠诗人）of the State of Illinois. Many of Brooks's works display a political consciousness, especially those from the 1960s and later, with several of her poems reflecting the civil rights activism of that period. Her body of work gave her, according to Dictionary of Literary Biography contributor George E. Kent, "a unique position in American letters. Not only has she combined a strong commitment to racial identity and equality with a mastery of poetic techniques, but she has also managed to bridge the gap between the academic poets of her generation in the 1940s and the young black active writers of the 1960s."Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas, but her family moved to Chicago when she was young. Her father was a gatekeeper who had hoped to become a doctor; her mother was a schoolteacher and classically trained pianist.They were supportive of thei r daughter’s passion for reading and writing. Brooks was thirteen when her first published poem, Eventide, appeared in American Childhood; by the time she was seventeen she was publishing poems frequently in the Chicago Defender, a newspaper serving Chicag o’s black population. After such formative experiences as attending junior college and working for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, she developed her craft in poetry workshops and began writing the poems, focusing on urban blacks, that would be published in her first collection, A Street in Bronzeville.Her poems in A Street in Bronzeville and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Annie Allen were “devoted to small, carefully thought, simple portraits of the Black urban poor,” commented Richard K.Barksdale inModern Black Poets: A Collection of Critical Essays.28. For what was Gwendolyn highly regarded and much-honored?A. She was the first author to win the Pulitzer Prize.B. She was the first black to hold a position in the Congress.C.
