This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything l
17、ike certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it.Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is t
18、o imagine a train coming into a switchyard(调车场). All of the switches are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity(不明确) if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possibl
19、e futures will not materialize (实现) and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive
20、at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our “track“ many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambi
21、guity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we _.A. have too many conflicting theoriesB. do not have enough funding to continue our researchC. are not
22、sure how the universe is put togetherD. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author see as the function of the universe s unseen “switches“?A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.B. They enable us to alter the course of univ
23、erse.C. They give us information about the lunar surface.D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).For whom is the author probably writing this passage?A. Train engineers. B. General audience.C. Professors of statistics. D. Young children.（分数：3.00）A.B.C
24、.D.(4).Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?A. A statement illustrated by an analogy.B. A hypothesis supported by documentation.C. A comparison of two contrasting theories.D. A critical analysis of a common assumption.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分
25、数：12.00)The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each others emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kinds of thought communication.What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often a
26、cts as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in a
27、 deprived home, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the proble
28、m, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.（分数：12.00）(1).Many people dont know that _.A. twins understand each other very wellB. twins are slow to learn to talkC. twins are unlikely to do le
29、ss well at school than other childrenD. there exists more communication between twins（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Whats the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development?A. They can only understand their own private language.B. They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins
30、.C. There is little stimulation for them.D. Adults don t like to talk with them.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The author probably feels that twins problem _.A. can not be solved because situation is very cruelB. can be solved because twins will be separatedC. can not be solved unless the twins are forced to
31、live in an ordinary environmentD. can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT _.A. twins can help each otherB. twins share each other s emotionC. twins are able to understand each other in a private languag
32、eD. twins communicate less with their parents（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Binet. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in Fre
33、nch schools who were too “mentally deficient(不足的)“ to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included
34、on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words; solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binets and Simons work: (1) th
35、at children with more intelligence will do better in school and (2) that older children have a greater ability than younger children.Binets first test consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a result of their everyday experiences. The tasks were arranged in groups,
36、according to age. Binet decided which tasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children, of a given age passed a test, it was considered appropriate for that age group.（分数：12.00）(1).The main purpose of
37、 this passage is to _.A. tell the origin of intelligence testsB. explain the basic principle of intelligence testsC. describe the changes in the content of intelligence testsD. state the development of intelligence tests（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What was the purpose of the intelligence test designed by A
38、lfred Binet in 1905?A. To select top students.B. To know who had received ordinary schooling.C. To put students in a right order.D. To make sure who required particular treatment.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Intelligence includes word understand
39、ing and problem solving.B. More intelligent children usually do better in school.C. The French Ministry of Education was charged with the development of first intelligence tests.D. Intelligence is related with age.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).How did Binet decide which task to include on his first test?A. H
40、e first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient children.B. He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older.C. He first gave the tasks to many children he thought appropriate.D. He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four
41、(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new
42、 game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term “lawn tennis“.By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in
43、the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in
44、 the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament(抽锦标赛) was heldat Nahant near Boston.（分数：12.00）(1).Mary Outerbridge is important in the history of
45、lawn tennis because _.A. she invented it B. she gave it its nameC. she introduced it to Bermuda D. she brought it to America（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The new game called Sphairistike appeared in _ in 1873.A.

47、nnis“ shortly after it was invented.D. Miss Outerbridge set up a lawn tennis court with the help of her brother.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage Five(总题数：2，分数：24.00)Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World
48、 Records as the world s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of
49、 the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room“, many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet undergro
