20、n he died in 2018 at age 76.His 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, sold ten million copies and made him an unlikely superstar even to people who sweated through high school science.Humor was always a big part of Hawkings effort to bring physics to the masses.In his 2010 book, The Grand Design, for
21、instance, he recounts how, in 1277, the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong, since they seemed against Gods idea. Interestingly, “the text adds jokingly, Pope John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his palace fell in
22、on him.”Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the disease ALS.For most people, the condition would have been a disaster.But Hawking rolled over hardship as if it were just a pebble under his wheelchair/Life would be tragic, “he once said, “if it werent fUnny.He kept smiling even though he s
23、pent more than 4 years in a wheelchair.“He loved adventure and fun, “says Mlodinow, who once took Hawking on a punt-boat trip down the fiver Cam in Cambridge, England, despite the obvious danger of the boat turning over.You know about when he went on the Vomit Comet?Its a plane that flies in a parab
24、olic（抛物线的）path so you are weightless, like you are in space.A lot of people vomit, but he loved that sort of thing.And he was 65 at the time.Hawkings greatest hit, humor-wise, was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009.It was a6Cwelcome reception for future time travelers, ,9he said, so natura
25、lly, he sent out the invitations the day after the party.No one showed up yet.6CMaybe one day someone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party, proving that time travel will one day be possible, “Hawking explained.And if that happens, do
26、nt be surprised if Hawking is there too.After all, he never missed a chance to have fun.1、What does the text mainly tell us about Hawking?A. He related physics to humor closely.B. He made great contributions to physics.C. He went through many funny experiences.D. He was optimistic about the future o
27、f science.2、What can we learn about Pope John?A. He was not in favor of God.B. He was a scientist like Hawking.C. He was opposed to the law of gravity.D. He was killed due to the discovery of gravity.3、What drove Hawking to go on the Vomit Comet?A. His fondness of adventure.B. The invitation from hi
28、s friend.C , The requirements of his work.D. His desire for recovery from ALS.4、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The cocktail party was a great success.B. The possibility of time travel was not proved.C. Hawking was a man who enjoyed holding parties.D. The wormhole time machine was us
29、ed at that time.Text 3“How can we live longer?” many people wonder. Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity （长寿）boost seems to come from marriage or an equal relationshi
30、p. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers （鳏夫）were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans,
31、 The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even though the odds are stacked against you （the conditions are not favourable to you）, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease
32、 can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a less pleasantside, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in th
33、e couple of years following their spouses; death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds
34、of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factor, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms （机制）.For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading t
35、o better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The best social network
36、 is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: People are interconnected so their health is interconnected., 1、William Farrs study and other studies show that.A. social life provides an effective cure for illnessB. being sociable helps improve ones quality of lifeC women benefit more than men from
37、 marriage D. marriage contributes a great deal to longevity 2、What does the underlined word compensate“ in the second paragraph probably mean? A. pay moneyB. provide something hadC. help recoverD. increase damage 3、What does the author say about social network?A. They have effects similar to those o
38、f a marriage.B. They help develop peoples community spirit.C. They provide timely support for those in need. D. They help relieve people of their lifes burden. 4、What can be infen-ed from the last paragraph? A. Its important that we develop a social network when young. B. To stay healthy, one should
39、 have a proper social network. C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D. We should share our social networks with each other.Text 4 The hemlock（铁杉）trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for
40、 the bugs are created by a tiny insect. Its hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA. The trouble making bug i
41、s just one of many invasive（入 侵的）pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around. Invasive pests often
42、 tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets dont want more rules. Congress has added an amendment（修正案） in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much
43、 of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bugkilling pesticide. I believe in the system, “ said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.Still, each year 13 million
44、 containers are shipped to the U.S. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: inspectors cant possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets.He believes pallets should be made of plastic or ecocomposite wood. Ecocomposite wood is a mix of wood f
45、iber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the U.S. $5 billion a year. Trees dont just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs mon
46、ey, too.1、All the statements are TRUE except that. A. pesticide has been applied to bugkilling B. the companies making pallets dont want more rulesC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek2、What can we infer from the passage?A. Bugs wont bother
47、 the tree if just in few numbers.B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.C. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.3、Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?A. Because insects mostly die in them.B. Because they are the major pest car
48、riers.C. Because they are not worth extra money.D. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly.4、What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.C. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA.D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invas
