16、 the annals of scienceJoseph Plateau, a Belgian professor, born in Brussels in 1801.He studied the mechanism of sight, beginning a series of most dangerous experiments at the age of 28 by staring into the sun for 25 seconds to see what the effect on his eyes would be. He was blind for nearly a month
17、. But he went on experimenting, increasing the length of time during which he looked into the sun, knowing that in the end this would cost him his sight. At the age of 42 he was completely and incurably blind: the sun had destroyed the retina(视网膜) of his eyes. But he continued to work as well as he
18、could until he died at the age of 82.Science profited enormously from his research. He studied the so-called “inertia of the eye (视觉暂留 )“ which makes a picture remain on the retina for about one-sixth of a second after it has disappeared from our vision. This means that, if we see a succession of in
19、dividual pictures each of which appears only for a fraction of a second, they “ overlap“ in our brain: and if they show consecutive phases of movement, that movement will appear to us to be continuous.41 Plateau s experiments were the first step leading to the invention of_.（A）eyeglasses（B） telescop
20、es（C） bifocals（D）motion pictures42 The result of Plateau s first experiment was that_.（A）he went permanently blind（B） he stopped staring into the sun（C） he went blind for a month（D）he found what he was looking for43 A picture remains on the retina for_.（A）6 seconds（B） 1 second（C） 16 seconds（D）1/6 of

22、half of a second45 Persons who are overweight should watch their diet carefully in order to lose pounds. The best way to do this is to start a weight control program. At first it is wise to talk with your doctor. He can advise you of the number of calories (卡路里) you should have in your meals each da
23、y. He can tell you about exercising while on your diet. A good rule is to lose slowly. A loss of a pound or two is plenty.Plan meals around foods you know. This means that it is wise to include foods that you are used to and that are part of your regular eating habits. When you have lost the weight
24、you wish, simple items can be added to your diet so that you can maintain the weight you want. While you are dieting, try to build a pattern of eating that you can follow later to maintain your desired weight.When dieting, choose low-calorie foods. Avoid such items as fats, fried food, sweets, cakes
25、, cream and soft drinks. Try to take coffee and tea without sugar or cream. Snacks can be part of your diet.

They do all kinds of things that you do mot even notice. For exa
30、mple, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting and more expensive things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored picture
31、s. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floo
32、r to eye level, they were sold 78 percent more.Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winte
33、r, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money.Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags.So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home w
34、ith a bag of food you were not planning to buy.

37、at you need（D）make a list of what you need before you go55 We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of oppo
38、rtunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examination
39、s or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to thema
40、form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence an
41、d opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil
42、 force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The select
43、ion would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.56 The word “it“ in paragraph 1 refers to_.（A）equality（B） the society（C） the school（D）the examination system57 Those who support examinations believe that without examinations, _.（A）there will be no equality nor standa
