29、s best remembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific communitys understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of t

30、wentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emis

31、sion of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Pl

32、ancks constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermo

37、equenciesThere has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that the modern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin

38、 of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball“. Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first tile American game had different rules and different

39、names in various parts of the country “town ball“. “rounders“, or “one old cat“. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knicker-bocker Baseball Club of New York City.

40、The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modem baseball. The game was played on a “diamond“ infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseba

41、ll Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?（分数：1.00）A.Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.B.Baseball, as played in the early 19th century,

42、differed very little from todays game.C.As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called “baseball“.D.The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century(2).What was the first professional baseball team called?（分数：1.00）A.New York Knickerbockers.B.Milwaukee Bra

43、ves.C.Cincinnati Red Stockings.D.Brooklyn Dodgers.(3).Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?（分数：1.00）A.Abner Doubleday.B.Alexander Cartwfight.C.Albert Spalding.D.Babe Ruth.(4).Which of the following was NOT a predecessor of baseball?（分数：1.00）A.Rounders.B.Town ball.C.Cricket.D.One old cat.(

44、5).The tone of the passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.persuasiveB.informativeC.biasedD.argumentative(6).The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the following reasons EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.exerciseB.leisureC.profitD.socializingThe blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight

45、 by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Although waters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water is commonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions

46、 This is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the water brown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be

47、observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspended soil particles.Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers“) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms,

48、 which photosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, more recently, electron scanning microscopists.（分数：6.00）(1).Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by _
