A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the

28、 way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic (运动的 ) molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion. A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events th

29、at have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a faul

30、t in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected. Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: “Science is built with facts ju

31、st as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science anymore than a pile of bricks can be called a house. “ Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the

32、 scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientists thinking beyond the known facts.

33、The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories. 31 According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is o

34、ne that helps scientists to _. （ A） observe events （ B） find errors in past experiments （ C） make predictions （ D） publicize new findings 32 In the third paragraph, bricks are mentioned to indicate how _. （ A） science is more than a collection of facts （ B） scientific experiments have led to improve

35、d technology （ C） building a house is like performing experiments （ D） mathematicians approach science 33 In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they _. （ A） gather known facts （ B） formulate possible solutions to a problem （ C） evaluate pre

36、vious work on a problem （ D） close an investigation 34 In the last paragraph, the author refers to a hypothesis as “a leap into the unknown“ in order to show that hypotheses _. （ A） require effort to formulate （ B） can lead to dangerous results （ C） go beyond available facts （ D） are sometimes ill-c

37、onceived 35 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? （ A） A scientists most difficult task is testing hypotheses. （ B） It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it. （ C） Theories are simply imaginary models of past events. （ D） A good scientist needs to be creative. 35

38、 In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The “new breed“, born since the 1960s, have never known anything but richness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering s

39、ociety as mature adults to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together. Japans birth rate has been falling rapidly, partly because of the recession, an

40、d the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was 1. 38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth crime, although still especially low by western standards, rose to its highest level since record-keeping began 32 years ago. Likewise, the propo

41、rtion of students dropping out before graduating, at 2. 5% also very low by western standards, has nevertheless been rising. Entrepreneurial (企业家的 ) role models are few and far between. Bill Gates is often mentioned, but a foreign model can only have so much influence. The problem is that Japanese c

42、ulture discourages people from revealing details of personal life, including such ordeal (考验 ) as starting a company. In the past, successful companies such as Honda or Hitachi provided role models of a sort. But today they have been faded by the downturn, and few others have risen to take their pla

43、ce. By the same reason, young people often feel isolated from their fathers who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children. “The one thing theyre sure of is that they dont want to be like their fathers. And the girls dont want to be with boys who are like t

44、heir fathers, so the boys are sure not to be,“ says Professor Morishima. 36 According to the passage, former young people were expected to _. （ A） enter the society before adulthood （ B） hold together （ C） work hard and support their family （ D） study hard and find a good job 37 The word “it“ ( Line

45、 2, Para. 2) most probably refers to _. （ A） economic depression （ B） job insecurity （ C） birth rate （ D） financial unsafety 38 The author takes the two examples of the youth crime and students dropping-out before graduating to show _. （ A） the youth are overburdened （ B） the educational system in J

46、apan is not satisfying （ C） public security and order in Japan is bad （ D） the ethnical level of youth in Japan is descending 39 Today, entrepreneurial models are rarely found in Japan because _. （ A） the discouragement of Japanese culture （ B） the worshipping of western models （ C） the lack of expe

48、ncrease of birth rate 40 A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement (新拓居地 ) spread ever farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The

49、most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860 there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional so
