33、, the Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden, were set up here along with famous Globe Theater, in which Shakespeare acted. William Shakespeare is commemorated(纪念 )in Southwark Cathedral today by the modern me morial(纪念 ) window of the south aisle(通道 ). The window was designed by Christopher Web in 1954, af
34、ter an earlier window had been destroyed in the war, and describes characters from Shake speares plays. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved by Henry M. Carthy in 1912, set against a background of seventeenth-century Southwark in relief(浮雕 ), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester palace and t
35、he Tower of St. Saviours Church.

He was born a
39、bout 287 BC and died in 212 BC. Archimedes is well-known for one specific (精确的 ) idea that he came up with. “Archime des principle“ tells us that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that moves. For example, if you put a piece
40、 of wood and a piece of metal of the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and metal move the same amount (量 ) of water, but the water moved by the wood weighs less than that of the water moved by the gold. It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the King
41、of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The King wanted to know if his crown (皇冠 ) was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The King, of course, did not want to melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out o
42、f the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than the one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the King. 64 The best title for this passage is _ （ A） Archimedes （ B） Ar
43、chimedess principle （ C） A Gold and Silver Crown （ D） The King of Syracuse 65 We drop a piece of metal into a jar full of water. The metal will float if it weighs less than （ A） an equal amount of gold （ B） the water that leave the jar （ C） all the water in the jar （ D） an equal amount of wood 66 Fr
44、om this passage we may conclude the Kings Crown _. （ A） moved more water than pure gold of the same weight （ B） moved less water than pure gold of the same weight （ C） moved more water than pure gold of the same size （ D） moved less water than pure gold of the same size 67 Which of the following ord
45、ers is true? a. Archimedes took a bath. b. Archimedes discovered his principle. c. The King of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. d. Archimedes did the experiment on the crown. （ A） b,c,a,d （ B） c,a,b,d （ C） c,a,d,b （ D） b,c,d,a 68 It is estimated that some seven hundred million people-about hal
46、f of the worlds population are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more people whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely outlives a literacy. Recently the attack on illiteracy (文盲 ) has been stepped up . A world plan has been drawn up by a commi
47、ttee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the United Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, pricelists, to keep simple recor
48、ds and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill informs. The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, compromising(牵连 ) eighty to eighty-five per cent of the tota
49、l population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading tl ,c list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand). 68 Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is _. （ A） approximately seven hundred million （ B） approxim
