Landscapes that were violated by the slowly moving glaciers(冰川 )would carry the scars of this advance far into the future. Temperatures dropped deeply, and land surfaces in many parts of the world were depresse
9、d by the unrelenting weight of the thrusting ice. At the same time, so much was drawn from the oceans to form these huge glaciers that sea levels around the world fell by three hundred and fifty feet, and large areas of the continental shelf became dry land. This period of the Earths history had com
10、e to be called the Ice Age. In all, about eleven million square miles of land were covered with ice. The Ice Age terminated about fourteen thousand years ago when the ice sheets began to retreat.

Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “Its amazing how many candidates eliminate
15、themselves ,“ he says. 2 “Resumes(简历 )arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate, “Crossley concludes. “if they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?“ 3 Can we pay too much at
16、tention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees, “says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves ho
17、w the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont we should drop them and move to something else.“ 4 Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time.“ says Garfield. “But a succes
18、sful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. “Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake. 5 Too often we believe what accounts for others success is some special secret or
19、a lucky break (机遇 ). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow. 23 A Dont Be a Perfectionist B The Benefits of Knowing Where We Want to Go C Hard Work Plus Good Luck D The Outcomes of Our Efforts E The Importa

22、个最佳选项。 31 Escaping from the Earth The Earth has a force that pulls things toward itself. We call this force gravity(地心引力 ). This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it. But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overco
23、me if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all. Take the throwing of a hall as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The sp
24、eed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earths gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour. Once escape speed has been reache
25、d by a spacecraft(宇宙飞船 ), no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will “coast“(滑行 ) the rest of the way be cause the Earths gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance(阻力 ) in space to slow it down. This “coasting“ is known as “free fall“. That does
26、 not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill. Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time. 31 What i
27、s the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth? （ A） To travel as fast as it can. （ B） To overcome the Earth gravity. （ C） To get away from the air resistance. （ D） To have strong power in its operation. 32 How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earths gravity? （
28、A） Seventy miles per second. （ B） Seven thousand miles per hour. （ C） Twenty-five thousand miles per second. （ D） Twenty-five thousand miles per hour. 33 As there is always the Earths gravitational(地心引力的 )pull, people _. （ A） accept it without questioning it （ B） never notice its presence （ C） hardl
29、y think about how to use it （ D） often try to escape from it 34 When a bicycle “coasts“ downhill, it _. （ A） runs along the hillside （ B） does not need any further power （ C） runs freely to all directions （ D） does not meet with air resistance 35 Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in
30、space all the time? （ A） Few spacecrafts complete their flight operations. （ B） The Earths gravity cannot be overcome. （ C） No future power is needed after the escape speed is reached. （ D） Free fall takes the place of the Earths gravity pull. 36 Thanksgiving Day The American Thanksgiving Day celebr
31、ation goes back to 1621. In that year, a special dinner was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The people who had settled there had left England because they were forbidden to keep their religious belief. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in sailing across the ocean. The ship which
32、carried them was called “the Mayflower“. The North Atlantic was hard to travel. There were bad storms and huge waves. With the help of the Indians, they learned to live in the new land. These Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. They could enjoy religious freedom. They learned
33、 how to grow their crops in accordance with the climate and soil. Now when they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbors, the Indians, to join them in dinner. They also wanted to pray God for the new life. They recalled the group of 10
34、2 men, women and children who left England. They remembered those who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts.

Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete (竞赛 ) for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people tak
38、e part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals(奖牌 ) and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose.

40、stadium(体育场 ) and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (誓言 ) on behalf of all the competitors(竞赛者 ). The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium the host country puts on a wonderful display. The competitions begin the
41、 next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.

42、ross country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded (颁发 ) for the individual winners and for national teams. More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Womens swimming events were
43、 introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports.

These are not easy questions to answer. In the first place, no one is quite sure what intelligence is. We often say th
49、at intelligence means being able to solve problems.(46). For example, dogs and cats often find their way home from long distances. To do this they have to use their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They travel thousands of miles every year when they move from cool to warmer places. We do not know how they do this but we know that t
