13、arly warning of major earthquakes.The new system is designed togive warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes.That may not sound like very long.However，it could give people time to get undera table or take shelter someplace safe.The flow of electric power or gas could becut off.Air traffic contr
14、ollers could warn away pilots.Even socalled“smartbuildings”could be de signed to get ready.The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by3instruments deployed across the Los Angeles area.Southern California has more than150 seismic（地震 的）stations that measure movements wit
15、hin the ground.Theinformation they collect is sent to a highspeed computer.An earthquake shakes the ground with two kinds of waver.The new system usesinformationfromalowenergywavethatmovesquicklybutcauseslittledamage.Experts call this the Pwave.The slower but stronger Swave is the main threatto life
16、 and property.Japan has a system based on Pwaves.There，the warnings areused to slow down highspeed bullet trains.Other countries have warning systemsthat measure Swaves.The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once theshaking starts.Areas directly above the center of the
17、 earthquake would have the leastwarning.Distant places might have as long as forty seconds.The scientists are still testing their proposed system in the Los Angelesarea.Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes wouldrequire a major campaign of public education.36Which of the
18、 following is TRUE about the new earthquake warning system?AIt can give people enough time to run away from earthquakes.BIt can give people seconds to take immediate measures.CIt is developed in Japan.DIt is a system based on Swaves.37Which of the following can benefit from the new system most?AArea

23、de a new outlook，a new view ofthe universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully theidentity（识别）of time and space and so onbut even ordinary men now understandthat the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been worldfamous.He accepte
24、d the offer to become4a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，littleteaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were brokenby World War.Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of war affected himdeeply，and he sat unhapp
25、ily in his office doing little.He lost interest in hisresearch.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the year following World War honors were increasingly put on him.Hebecame head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics.But he himselfrefused the effort to put
26、him in a position far above other people.He was well knownfor his humble（谦逊的）manner.He often said that his success would certainly havebeen achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honored in Germany until the riseof Nazism（纳粹）when he was driven from Germany
27、 because he was a Jew.41The main idea of the first paragraph is _.Athe difficulty of Einsteins thought to othersBthe feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinCthe difference between science and historyDthe change in human thought produced by Einstein42It seems to the American univ

30、irst Nobel Prizein Physics.He had discovered Xrays.He made his discovery when he noticed that incertain experiments a special kind of light was made by the cathode rays（阴极射线）hitting a screen.The other scientists working with him had noticed this lightbut they did not think it was important.Roentgen
31、was the first person to ask himselfquestions about this special kind of light.When he examined it，he discovered anew kind of radiation called Xrays.We often think that a creative idea suddenly comes into our heads fromnowhere.This is not usually the caseit comes because we are ready to receiveit.Whe
32、n someone asked Issac Newton how he had discovered the laws of gravity（引力），he replied，“I am certain that any mind working on a problem continuously willbe prepared for the sudden answer.”Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize inPhysics in 1921 and said that there are discoveries waiting to be made
33、 if peoplecontinue to look and study all the time.One of the problems facing creative people is that their ideas may be too newfor the rest of the world.It often happens that people laugh at the work of artistsand scientists.Barbara McClintock is a good example of someone who continued to think5she
34、was right although for 30 years other scientists thought that she waswrong.Finally，her work proving that genes（基因）can make sudden changes in heredity（遗传）won her the Nobel Prize in 1983.Many creative people looking for ideas or solutions find them in a visual（幻觉）form first.Elias Howe，the man who inve

36、e in the sharp end of the needleand then connected it to the sewing machine.45We can infer from the passage that“creativity”means _.Athe imagination to find a way of doing thingsBthe plan to make an important discoveryCthe ability to make something differentDthe power to make something new46The writ
37、ers purpose in writing this passage is _.Ato tell some interesting storiesBto prove that people are creative in many waysCto praise some great scientistsDto explain why some people are clever47Which of the following statements is BEST supported by the third paragraph?ABelieve in your own ideas.BPay
38、attention to your dreams.CAsk questions about everything around you.DCollect as much information as you can.48Which of the following statements is FALSE?AYou can be more creative if you read a lot.BYou can improve your creativity by asking lots of questions.CYou can help your creativity by getting i
39、nto the habit of thinking aboutordinary things.DDoing a lot of preparation can help you be more creative.D DAnthropologists are scientists that study people who often lived hundreds oreven thousands of years ago.Items those men，women，and children left behind whenthey diedeverything from clothing to
40、jewelry and toolstell anthropologists alot.And sometimes even their words survive.Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing everfound in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long beforeChristopher Columbus arrived in the New World.Workers
41、 digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carvedonto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.“There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec d
42、uringtheir religious ceremonies，”says Dr.Stephen Houston，of Brown University in theUSA.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks likethe chair of a King，”he explains.Houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，says the discoveryis exciting because“it
43、 makes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is likehearing voices from the past.”But experts dont know exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples ofOlmec writing could help decipher the puzzle.6“We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancientpeople spe
44、ak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”49According to the passage，what items do scientists often use to learn moreabout the past?AClothing and jewelry.BBooks and stones.CKnives and chairs.DPeople and animals.50What is important about the st
45、one block mentioned in the passage?AIt proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 yearsago.BIt allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.CIt is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in America.DIt shows the people of the area have a wri
46、tten language.51Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?AIt can allow them to better understand ancient societies.BSo they can speak directly with ancient people.CIt will help learn about the origins of modern languages.DThey can learn stories told during that time.E EMany parents dont lo
47、ve to read to their children.But there are so manyprofessionals and PhDs doing the opposite thing.And they really promote reading tochildren，which is so good for children.I have found that this is true with my ownchildren.I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time
48、with them，undivided time that they will remember for their entire life.Reading tochildren is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the readerit is fun to watch their little face s as they are moved with the flow of the
49、 story.Theyare laughing one moment and on the next page the story has moved them to tears.Asthe story teller，I am just as moved as they are；I am caught up in the story asour emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.This is an experience that children then try to pas
50、s on to younger children，reading books to them.My daughter was so into reading that if she couldnt line upsome neighbors children she could be reading her books to，she would line up herstuffed animals and read to them.Well，she also tried to teach her neighbors andteddy bears math，and“ocean science”a
