5. Passage 15 There is a commonly held myth that Einstein was an underachiever at school， but it really isn＇t true. While he may have had difficulties with languages， Einstein excelled in physics， mathematics and music. Einstein held many patents and was a keen inventor. While working at Swiss patent office in Bern he took it upon himself to write his own scientific papers in his spare time， mostly at weekends and in the evenings after work. 1905 was Einstein＇s miracle year. During this year he wrote three fundamental papers， any of which would have guaranteed him immortality in the world of physics. His first was on a new understanding of the structure of light. Einstein argued that light is composed of small particles of energy， called photons， as well as oscillating waves. The second paper built upon the theory of kinetics. Einstein explained how atoms were responsible for the buffeting of particles of material in suspension， like cigarette smoke suspended in air. This paper presented the first direct evidence for the existence of atoms， vindicating an idea that had been around for over 2000 years. His third paper of 1905 was ―On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies‖. Here Einstein derived the theory of ―special relativity‖. In a supplementary paper four months later， he formulated the famous equation， E=mc2， where mass and energy are equivalent， showing that a very small amount of mass converts to a huge amount of energy. This is the driving force behind atomic bombs， and all the stars in the Universe. Which of the following words can be used to best describe the author‘s attitude towards Einstein?

A. 　Skeptical.

B. 　 Critical.

C. 　 Admiring.

D. 　 Exaggerated.

31.I firmly( )to this scheme because it‘s not practical at all.

A. 　refuse

B. 　 reject

C. 　 object

D. 　 decline

1. Passage 6 Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who‘ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching， that is， tutoring in Math and English. You‘d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose help a child with Math， English， or both. Half-hour lesson are fine， so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors ---- he‘ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I‘m sure you will enjoy this community service and you‘ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume， too， showing that you‘ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you‘d like to sign up， or if you have any questions， stop by Professor Dodge‘s office this week. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. 　To explain a new requirement for graduation.

B. 　To interest students in a new community program.

C. 　To discuss the problems of elementary school students.

D. 　To recruit elementary school teachers for a special program.

59.The car crash wasn‘t an accident; it was a【n】( )attempt to kill the driver.

3. Passage 8 Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years)， children are encouraged， but not forced， to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children， nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses through other friends， at jobs， and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses， they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families， parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father‘s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father‘s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence. Based on the passage， it can be assumed that( ).

A. 　 American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parents

B. 　 most American people never make major decisions for their children

C. 　 American young adults possess cultural values of independence

D. 　 once a young person steps into his twenties， he will leave his home permanently
