There was a river with a small town on either side of it.The towns were linked by a bridge.

第8题：
问答题Practice 3 Einstein was one of the intellectual heroes of history, and such heroes, like Newton and like Darwin, are always twofold — rebels in their work and heretics in society. He prized the integrity of man's personality more highly than man's science. Back in the 1920's he said, in some desultory interview, that two discoveries might destroy mankind: atomic energy and universal thought-reading. The wry prophecy sums up Einstein's passions. He saw deeply into nature, her promise and her threat, but he was not too abstracted to remember .the fallibility of men. For him the key to the world lay in the minds of men. He fought for freedom of the mind from his rebellious school-days and the manifesto of 1914 to his dying day. In his last years he spoke out constantly against the inquisition which then darkened America. But even his love for science and for freedom was not abstract. These were for him the high places of the human mind, and he lived those; he loved people. His richness of sympathy made him a symbol to an age. It carried his ideas beyond their scientific setting so that, more profoundly than the work of any philosopher, they changed the outlook of philosophy. All his ideas grew from one conception: that the world is not given to us absolutely, but is something which we actively observe and thereby shape. For Einstein was a practical thinker; to him, truth was that which is experienced in action. When he died, on April 18, 1955, Einstein had created a new empiricism, as revolutionary and as lasting as that with which Galileo laid the foundation of science.正确答案： 【参考译文】
爱因斯坦是历史上杰出的知识分子之一,像他这样的杰出人物,如牛顿和达尔文,总是具有双重性——在工作上是造反派,在社会上又是离经叛道者。爱因斯坦珍视人的道德品格胜于学问。早在20年代,他在一次漫谈式采访中就说过:有两个发现可能会毁灭人类,一个是原子能,另一个是万能读心术。这个辛辣的预言集中表现了他的强烈情感。他洞悉大自然,深知它会给人类带来什么希望,又会给人类造成什么威胁。但是他并没有因为思维太抽象而忘记人类免不了要犯错误。在他看来,打开世界的钥匙是人的头脑。自学生时代造反开始,到1914年发表“宣言”,一直到临终之日,他都在为解放思想而奋斗。在生命的最后岁月里,他还不断地站出来说话,反对当时把美国搞得乌烟瘴气的对进步人士的审讯。但是,即使他对科学和自由的热爱,也不是抽象的。在他看来,科学和自由是人类思想的高峰。在这方面,他身体力行;他热爱人民。
他富有同情心,这使他成为一个时代的象征。他的同情心使他的思想超越了科学的境界,因而他的思想比任何一个哲学家的著作都更为深刻地改变了哲学的面貌。他的一切思想都来自一个观念,即这个世界不是无条件给予我们的,而是要我们去积极观察并加以塑造。爱因斯坦是个讲究实际的思想家,在他看来,真理是由行动体现出来的。到l955年4月18日逝世的时候,爱因斯坦已经创立了一种新经验论,它与伽利略用以奠定科学基础的经验论一样具有革命性,一样持久。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summery below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the blanks 51-5.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. For many years after he formed his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein visited many universities in different cities where he gave talks about it. He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where he was to give the talk. The chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home. One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, “Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it.” “Do you?” Einstein said with a smile. “Let’s find out, shall we? You give my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where we’re going. I’m just a name to them.” Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur. The chauffeur’s memory was excellent and he was able to give Einstein’s talk exactly as Einstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him. “Professor Einstein,” he said. “That was a most interesting talk. I’d be grateful if you would answer a question.” The chauffeur hurried on. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I’m late for my next meeting.” “I’ll walk with you,” the teacher said. “I want to talk to you about the problem.” The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem. The poor chauffeur couldn’t understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. “It’s so simple,” he said. “Even my chauffeur could answer it.” He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeur’s cap. “This man has a maths question,” he said to Einstein. “It’s so easy I’m sure even you can answer it.” Summary: Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving (1) on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to give the talk at the next (2) where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult (3) .The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, “This problem is so simple I’m sure my chauffeur knows (4) it.” Then he pointed to Einstein still standing (5) beside the car.正确答案：
1.talks 文章第一话明确指出爱因斯坦经常带着他的司机到各地演讲。
2.university 由第二段最后一句话可看出他们是到大学做演讲。
3.mathematical problem 由第五段最后一句话可以看出那个老师问的是一道非常难的数学题。
4.how to solve could answer it也就是know how to solve it。
5.in his cap in his cap是wearing the chauffeur’s cap的另一种说法。解析： 暂无解析 -

A. with B. as C. on正确答案：1.A 考查代词。it代指前面一句话的内容,即“印度人与别人说话的时候总是摇头”这件事情。
2.C 考查固定短语。the same…as…意为“跟…一样”。
3.B 考查代词。he指代上文的someone。someone指“某人”,是单数,英语中一般用阳性单数he代指。
4.C 考查连词。在意思上or=or else=otherwise,都表示“否则“的意思。
5.B 考查根据上下文填词的能力。这里应是“当他叫司机送他去办公室的时候”。动词用法tell sb. to do sth., 意为“告诉某人去做某事”。根据上下文,这里“叫司机送他……”比“想要司机送他……”更好。
6.C 考查根据上下文填词的能力。文章第一句是主题句,全文说的是“印度人摇头”的问题。
7.A 考查动词的替代。did代上文提过的动词shook(his head)。为避免动词的重复,可用do代替动词。
8.A 考查根据上下文填词的能力。该外国人以为印度人摇头是表示“拒绝”,所以他很“生气”。
9.C 考查根据上下文填词的能力。本句意为“你怎么敢…”。
10.A 考查介词。用某种声音说话,用介词with,,表示“带着,用”。解析： 暂无解析 -

Passage Five
Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, "You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn't know about".
So he became a thief--but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.
One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.
It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.
When he went back to Jim, he said, "That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there."
52. What Jim said can be said to be______.
A. an excuse
B. a lie
C. a joke
D. a truth
正确答案：A此题为推论题，从一开始就看到吉姆是一个聪明人，但是却希望不劳而获，于是他当起了小偷的头，因此推论，他所说的话只是借口。

第17题：
Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half full. But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor. According to Ben-Shahar, realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down --- say, after giving a bad lecture ——he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction. He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter.答案：解析：大多数人认为乐观是无尽的欢乐，如同总是有半杯水的杯子。但那是一种绝不会为积极心理学家所称道的 虚假的快乐。哈佛大学的泰?本沙哈尔教授说，“健康的乐观主义意味着要活在现实之中。”在本沙哈尔看来， 现实的乐观主义者会因势利导，而非求全责备。 本沙哈尔会使用三种乐观的方法。比如说，当他因搞砸了一场演讲而倍感郁闷的时候，他会告诉自己这是 很正常的事，提醒自己：并不是每一次演讲都可以获得诺贝尔奖，总会有一些人的演讲效果不及其他人。接着 为改进。他分析了一些效果不好的演讲并且从那些起效和无效的演讲中吸取教训为将来做准备。最后是看待问 题的角度，即在生活的宏伟计划中，一次演讲真的无足轻重。 -
