The
25、y asked a guard, “What time is the next train for London?“ The guard said, “Youve just missed one. A train goes every hour. The next one is at ten oclock.: “Thats all right,“ they said, “Well go and have a drink.“ So off they went to a bar (酒吧间 ). A minute or two after ten oclock they came running a
26、nd asked the guard, “Has the train gone?“ “Yes,“ the guard said. “It went at ten, as I told you. The next one is at eleven oclock.“ “Thats all right,“ they said again. “Well go and have another drink.“ So they went back to the bar. They missed the eleven oclock train in the same way. Then the guard
27、said, “Now, the next train is the last one. If you miss that train, you wont get to London tonight.“ Twelve oclock came, and the last train was just starting out when the three of them came out of the bar running as fast as they could. Two of them got in the train just as it was leaving, but the thi
28、rd one didnt run fast enough, and the train went out leaving him behind. He stood there looking at the train and laughing, as if (好像 ) to miss a train was the best joke in the world. The guard went up to him and said, “I told you that this was the last train. Why didnt you come earlier?“ The man kep
29、t laughing until tears came into his eyes.

32、big university (大学 in the U.S.A, football is a favourite sport. American football is not like soccer. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field(场地 ). They have four chances(机会 )to move the ball ten yards(码 ). They
33、 can carry it or throw it. If they move it to other end of the field, they receive six points(分 ). This is called a touchdown(底线得分 ) It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to
34、the other team. Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell (喊加油 ) for their favourite team. Young men and women called cheerleaders (啦啦队长 ) come to help the people yell more. Each team plays ten or eleven games. Each season begins in September and ends(结束
35、 ) in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV. 58 In American football players can _. （ A） only kick the ball （ B） only

No matter how many times the results of experiments agr
38、ee with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory. As philosopher of science Karl Popper has emphasized, a good t
39、heory is characterized by the fact that it makes a number of predictions that could in principle be disproved or falsified by observation. Each time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a new observation is
40、 found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the theory. At least that is what is supposed to happen, but you can always question the competence of the person who carried out the observation. In practice, what often happens is that a new theory is devised that is really an extension of the previ
41、ous theory. For example, very accurate observations of the planet Mercury revealed a small difference between its motion and the predictions of Newtons theory of gravity. Einsteins general theory of relativity predicted a slightly different motion from Newtons theory. The fact that Einsteins predict
42、ions matched what was seen, while Newtons did not, was one of the crucial confirmations of the new theory. However, we still use Newtons theory for all practical purposes because the difference between its predictions and those of general relativity is very small in the situations that we normally d
43、eal with. (Newtons theory also has the great advantage that it is much simpler to work with than Einsteins!) 62 A good title for this passage is_. （ A） The History of Physical Science （ B） Karl Poppers Physical Theory （ C） The Philosophy of Science （ D） Einsteins Theory of Science 63 Newtons theory
44、of gravity was corrected by Einsteins theory because of_. （ A） a new hypothesis about gravity （ B） careful measurements of Mercurys motion （ C） new practical considerations of Newtons theory （ D） newly predicted observations 64 A number of predictions can be disproved by _. （ A） observations （ B） ex
45、periments （ C） theories （ D） hypotheses 65 Which statement is true? （ A） Einsteins general theory of relativity will survive any observations to be found. （ B） The general theory of relativity is not an extention of the theory of gravity. （ C） The general theory of relativity may be disproved or fal
46、sified. （ D） The general theory of relativity has completely replaced the theory of gravity. 66 Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately, it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to sta
47、rt with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, howe
48、ver, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace f
49、acilities. The theoretical separation of living working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in s
