Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

A. the time when people know Einstein

Until 1983, Tillson Lake had been a lovely weekend and vacation place for many families. Then everything changed. During the Fourth of July weekend, residents woke up one morning to find that the lake had disappeared.

Some people didn't believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its place was a big muddy hole, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant bathtub and someone had

pulled the plug.

The lake's owner, Joseph Unanue, did indeed pull the plug. That's exactly what happened. The dam that held back the water to form the lake was falling apart, so government officials ordered him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the dam level “five feet or more.”He did much more. Mr. Unanue found repairs to the dam would cost $100,000. He didn't want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level until the lake was completely emptied. People living above the dam ended up with no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead fish. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue.

Area residents believed Mr. Unanue acted out of spite（恶意）. They said he wanted to get back at them because the town wouldn't let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he couldn't build his park, he just went away and took his lake with him.

(1).The lake was compared to a bathtub because _________. 答案(D)

A. a man difficult to understand

B. well within his fights

C. tired of swimming

D. a bad man with ill will

(4).The situation could be changed by __________. 答案(A)

A. repairing the dam

C. Buyin

g some new boats

If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" online ─ many of them are talking at the same time.

It's fast: trying talking to six people once. It's convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.

(1).When people are online, they talk by ______.答案(D)

A. using body language

B. drawing some strange pictures

C. making phone calls

D. making use of an especially short form of English

(2).The Internet makes many people in the world ______.答案(A)

A. talking at the same time

B. discover their friends and relatives

C. pick out good things to buy

D. find out about some problems in society

(3).The sentence “There's neither time nor space for explanations”means that ______.答案(C)

A. people should use words properly

B. people should know what time it is when they are talking

C. people online have to express themselves in a simple way

D. people should communicate in a funny way

(4).If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.答案

(B)

A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is high

B. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong Kong

C. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same time

(5).Which of the following is a way to save online time?答案(A)

C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.

No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians. The Persians called their dish Sharbat, from which our word sherbet（冰冻果子露）comes.

Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in

Venice and then throughout Italy.

In 1533, when Catherine de Medicis left Italy to marry the future King Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine's cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert-“ice cream.”

At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio's“ice-cream parlor ” became so popular that other shops were opened.

About 1640, King Charles I introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was popular in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The King ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should serve the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became popular in England too.

(1).Ice cream was unknown in France until ________.答案(A)

A. 1533

B. 1660

C. 1640

D. 1774

(2).Ice cream was introduced to England by ________.答案(C)

A. Catherine de Medicis

B. Francisco Procopio

C. King Charles I

D. Marco Polo

(3).What will be probably discussed in the paragraphs following this passage?答案(D)

A. Marco Polo's travel in the world.

B. Development of ice cream in France.

C. Development of ice cream in England.

D. Development of ice cream in America or other countries.

(4).Marco Polo's remark shows that he traveled in _______.答案(A)

A. China

One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. “Could you help me in the library?” she asked. I said, “Send him along.”

Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “Do you have a job for me?”he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “Is it a kind of a detective （侦探）job?” I answered yes, and then began his work.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “Time for rest!”he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.

The next morning, he arrived early, “I want to finish these books,”he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.

After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. “Who will find the lost books?”he

asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.

When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.

But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as “I'm studying now”or “I've got some jobs to do for Mum”. When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a “Hi, kid”, but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family's car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn't understand what was so great about girls and parties.

But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn't really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I'm over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

(1).When the writer and Jerry first met, Jerry was ______.答案(B)

A. 10 years old

B. 5 years older than the writer

C. of the same age as the writer

D. the writer's classmate

(2).Their friendship lasted for ______.答案(C)

A. a few years

B. a few weeks

C. a few months

D. a few hours

(3).Jerry stopped playing with the writer because ______.答案(D)

A. the writer had changed

B. he was busy with his study

C. he has some jobs to do

D. he was not interested in the writer

(4).When a change came in their friendship, the writer ______.答案(B)

A. accepted it at once

B. couldn't understand his friend for a long time

C. stopped visiting his friend

D. started going to parties with girls

(5).The main idea of the passage is that ______.答案(A)

A. the age difference plays a part in friendship

B. friendship is the most important thing for children

C. many boys and girls have a similar experience as the writer

D. “friends are made in wine and tested in tears”
