1、Passage 2
Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.
Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.
The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large ―hot air balloon‖. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.3.In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly.

1、Passage 14Shortly after graduation, it is time for you to start the next phase of your life. You will begin
your first "real job." Generally speaking, most of what you have learned in school will not prepare
you for this. There is a big difference between being a student and being an employee. Certainly,
more will be expected of you.
The best career-related advice I ever received came from my former boss on my first day of
work. She told me to listen and observe before suggesting any changes. I took that advice and
have used it in other situations, both in and out of the workplace. While innovation is a good thing,
it is important to be mindful of dynamics of the workplace. If you are entering an environment
where routines are already in place, a newcomer walking in and talking about "better ways" to do
things, will often be met with negative reactions. Why? First, you know nothing about why they
do things the way they do. Second, you haven＇t gained the trust of your co-workers. Finally,
people, by nature, are threatened by changes.
By listening and observing, you will gain a lot. You will learn about the environment of
which you are now a part. You will find out more about the people you are working with. You may
save yourself from making a major, public mistake—you are the new kid on the block while your
co-workers have been around longer. You can learn from their collective experience. 3. Which is NOT the reason why a new comer talking about ―better ways‖ will be met with
negative reactions?

A. The new comer hasn‘t won enough trust.

B. The new comer doesn‘t understand much about his old co-workers‘ ways of doing things.

C. The new comer usually poses a threat to the old co-workers.

D. People, by nature, always regard changes as a kind of threat.

1、Passage 15There 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.
1. According to the first paragraph, Einstein

A. 　was an underachiever at school

B. 　didn‘t like learning languages

C. 　was extremely good at physics

D. 　knew a little about music

1、Passage 6Community 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.3. What does Professor Dodge do?

A. 　He advices students to participate in the special program.

B. 　He teaches part-time in an elementary school.

C. 　He observes elementary school students in the classroom.

D. 　He helps students prepare their resumes.
