20、ith scientific icons (偶像) Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Yet when asked about comparisons between himself and the two scientists, he calls it all “media hype (炒作). “ Once asked how he felt about being labeled the worlds smartest person, he responded: “It is very embarrassing. It is rubbish, j

21、ust media hype. They just want a hero, and I fill the role model of a disabled genius. At least I am disabled, but I am no genius. “ Hawking has ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease, a neuromuscular disease that progressively weakens muscle control. He gets around in a wheelchair, and after completely losing

22、the use of his vocal chords in an operation to assist his breathing in 1985, he communicates through a computer. A speech synthesizer “speaks“ for him after he punches in what he wants to say, selecting words in the computer software by pressing a switch with his hand. Unfortunately, it makes him so

23、und like he has an American accent, he says. Despite his humorous, self-effacing manner, Hawking is one of the worlds leading theoretical physicists. Many consider him to be the most brilliant since Einstein. Since 1979, hes held the post of Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University

24、which was once held by Isaac Newton no lessand has twelve honorary degrees. Hes also a best-selling author. His book, A Brief History of Time, has been translated into 33 languages and has sold nine million copies. For much of his academic life, Hawking has been among a group of theoretical physicis

25、ts searching for a “theory of everything“one unified scientific theory that explains the big cosmological questions like How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? You are probably familiar with the existing theories, such as the Big Bang theory. However, the

26、se theories are inconsistent with each other. So Hawkingamong a group of theoretical physicistshas been on a quest to come up with a theory of quantum (量子) gravity that would incorporate these theoriesthe theory of everything (TOE)which would solve the problem of what caused the universe to start ex

27、panding. How successful have the worlds leading cosmologists been? Hawking predicts well have the TOE in the next 20 years.（分数：6.00）(1).From the first paragraph we can see that Hawking_.（分数：2.00）A.is a very famous scientistB.can be compared with Newton and EinsteihC.is a very good actorD.has surpass

Often, its accompanied by an appeal: “Just

30、 think about those starving orphans (孤儿) in Africa!“ Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take a few too many bites. Instead of saying “clean the plate“, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are p

31、artly to blame for the growing bellies (肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. The

32、y serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow

33、 in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. A restaurant industry trade magazine reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000

34、 people surveyed believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who cant afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $ 150,000 per yea

35、r prefer smaller portions. But only 45 percent of those earning less than $ 25,000 want smaller. Its not that working class Americans dont want to eat healthy. Its just that after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to pay

37、reserve food for the future(2).According to news reports, US restaurants_.（分数：2.00）A.are partly responsible for the overweight problemB.ignore the government regulations on food amountC.serve two to four times the amount the customers wantD.are partly to blame for the waste of food in America(3).US

38、restaurants provide large portions of food because_.（分数：2.00）A.most customers are calling for thatB.they want to win in severe competitionC.the American waistline in expandingD.it is the regulation of the restaurant industry(4).According to the passage, working class Americans dining in restaurants_

39、.（分数：2.00）A.eat less to save moneyB.get less on their plateC.want to get their moneys value backD.do not care about their health(5).A proper title of the passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.Why Restaurants Serve Large PortionsB.Income and Food Portion SizesC.Clean Your PlateD.Less Food on the Plate Is HealthierU

40、ltralight (超轻型的) airplanes are a recent development in aviation that provide what aviation enthusiasts have long been seeking: born of the marriage of the hang glider and the go-kart (超型单座赛车) engine around 1974, when John Moody mounted a 12-horsepower go-kart engine on his Icarus II hang glider. Tod

41、ays ultralights are not just hang gliders with engines; they are “air recreation vehicles.“ Modern ultralight planes use snowmobile engines that let them cruise at about 40 miles per hour, climb at about 400 feet per minute, and carry combined payloads of pilot and fuel up to about 200 pounds, which

42、 is about equal to an ultralight planes weight when empty. More than ten thousand ultralight planes were sold last year at prices ranging from $2,800 to $ 7,000. But the main reason for the increasing popularity of these aircraft is not that they are inexpensive, but that they are fun to fly. The mo

43、dern ultralight plane would look very familiar to the earliest pioneers of aviation. Otto Lilienthal made more than 2,000 flights in Germany in the 1890s in what were actually hang gliders. Octave Chanute designed and built many early hang gliders. Augustus Herring, Chanutes assistant, used these gl

44、iders as models for a glider that he built for himself. On this glider, Herring installed a compressed-air motor and flew 267 feet in 1898. The Wright brothers flyer was the grandfather of todays ultralight planes. The pilot sat right out in the open, just as in modern ultralights, and used controls

45、 that were much the same as those used in todays machines. Though most ultralight planes are used for pleasure flying, some are also used for crop dusting, aerial photography, and even military observation service. The likelihood is that further uses will be found for ultralight planes, but their gr

46、eatest use will continue to be as air recreational vehicles.（分数：12.00）(1).The author seems to feel that ultralight airplanes are_.（分数：2.00）A.a toy for the richB.nothing but hang glidersC.a new development that meets the needs of aviation enthusiastsD.the most important development in aviation since

47、the Wright brothers flyer(2).The author compares John Moodys use of a go-kart engine on a hang glider to_.（分数：2.00）A.a marriageB.the flight of IcarusC.cruising in a snowmobileD.soaring and gliding from a high altitude(3).Which of the following statements is an opinion?（分数：2.00）A.Ultralight planes use snowmobile engines that let them cruise at about 40 miles per hour.B.John Moody used a 12-horsepower engine to power his Icarus II hang glider.C.The use of ultralight planes will increase in such areas as crop dusting and aeria
