1 This woman is one of the greatest scientists of all times. Even her name tells you that she likes science: a good scientist should want to find out manswers and ask many questions. In other words they should be curious. This woman was certainly curious. Together with her husband, she tried to learn the secrets of radioactivity. The couple were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Eight years later,she received a second Nobel Prize, this time forchemistry.
2 It is said that this English gentleman was sitting in his garden one day when suddenly he was hit by a falling apple. The story is probably not true, but this man did mention that he got one of his best known ideas while watching apples fall from a tree. His name makes you think that he was not too interested in old things. He discovered the force of gravity, and he drew up a system of how objects move. His laws for motion are still used in physics today, at least in schools and universities.
3 Food is what sets this great mind on fire. Rice, to be exact. This great mind has spent most of his life looking for ways to help farmers grow more rice so that all of us will have enough food to eat. He is known as the father of modem rice, but because of his long friendship with all the farmers in China, he would rather be known as “the farmer”.
Answers to the exorcises:
Great Mind No 1: Madame Curie
1 This great mind was on fire for radioactivity.
2 The scientist's name is similar to the English word
curious, meaning being interested in something.
(Curie sounds like the beginning of curious.)
Great Mind No 2: Sir Isaac Newton
1 This great mind was on fire for gravity.
2 The scientist's name is similar to the English word
for something not old. (New-Newton)
Great Mind No 3: Yuan Longping
1 He is known for his work with rice / in agriculture.
2 He wants to be called the farmer.
3 Various answers are possible. They are all passionate
about what they do. / They are on fire for something.
They have all made important contributions to
science and society.
Great Mind No 4: Various answers are possible.

Part 1
Scientists often look at nature in order to find new ideas.In ancient times, Chinese scientists studied how spiders make silk. Modern scientists are interested in the spider,too. A spider can make silk that is much stronger than most man-made materials. A spider's silk doesn't break easily. Instead of breaking, it gets longer. Best of all, the spider produces the silk without the use of dangerous or poisonous chemicals. If we could learn to use the technique, we might be able to use the strong silk to make things like seat belts and wires that hold up bridges.
Part 2
There are many other examples of how new technology has been developed by learning from nature. A group of German scientists wanted to find out why leaves and flowers are able to stay so clean. They decided to take a closer look at the white lotus, a flower that is known for its clean leaves. At first, the scientists believed that a very flat leaf would be better at staying clean. However,when they looked closely at the white lotus, the scientists saw that the leaf was in fact covered with tiny hairs and needles. The needles and hairs collect the dust that falls on the leaf so that a raindrop can easily wash it off. The German scientists used this technique to design a new kind of paint. The new paint could keep houses looking clean for years.
Scientists also believe that the butterfly could teach us a way to keep our computers cool. A computer must be kept cool to function well. The fans we use today are not always good enough. The butterfly is cold-blooded and must change its body temperature all the time. Scientists have found that there are small parts on its wings that the butterfly uses to change its temperature. If scientists can learn how this is done, it may be possible to use the samemethod to keep computers from becoming too hot.

Background information
閱讀下面材料，回答下列問(wèn)
( A )
A black hole itself is invisible because no light can escape from it. In fact, when black holes were first hypothesized( 假設(shè) ) they were called "invisible stars. " If black holes are in-visible, how do we know they exist? This is exactly why it is so difficult to find a black hole in space! However, a black hole can be found indirectly by observing its effect on the stars and gas close to it. For example, consider a double-star system in which the stars are very close. If one of the stars explodes as a supernova( 超新星 ) and creates a black hole, gas and dust from the companion star might be pulled toward the black hole if the companion wanders too close. In that case, the gas and dust are pulled toward the black hole and begin to orbit around the event horizon and then orbit the black hole.
The gas becomes heavily compressed( 壓縮的 ) and the friction
( 摩擦 ) that develops among the atoms changes the kinetic( 運(yùn)動(dòng)的 ) energy of the gas and dust into heat, and x-rays aregiven off. Using the radiation( 射線 ) coming from the orbiting material, scientists can measure its heat and speed. From the motion and heat of the spreading matter, we can infer" the presence of a black hole. The hot matter circling near the event horizon of a black hole is called an accretion disk.
John Wheeler, a well-known theorist, compared observing these double-star systems to watching women in white dresses dancing with men in black tuxedos within a dimly lit ball- room. You see only the women, but you could predict the existence
of their invisible partners because of the women 's spinning and whirling( 旋轉(zhuǎn) ) motions around a central axis( 軸 ). Searching for stars whose motions are influenced by invisible partners is one way in which astronomers search for possible black holes.
The selection mainly tells us ___________.
Key: what a black hole looks like
Animal or plant What it can do How we could use it
Spider It can make strong silk without using dangerous or
Poisonous chemicals. We could use it to make better seat belts and stronger
wires to hold up bridges.
White Lotus
It keeps its leaves clean using tiny hairs and needles. We could use the same technology to make paint
that would stay clean.
Butterfly The butterfly uses small parts on its
wings to change its temperature. We could use the same method to keep computers
cool.

Stephen Hawking in China
Stephen Hawking, the disabled author of A Brief History of Time is launching his second journey to China in Hang-Zhou of Zhejiang Province. His first visit was over 10 years ago.
The great theoretical scientist has been invited to attend a state-of-the-art mathematics research institute at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou-based Dushi Kuaibao reported.On Sunday evening, he made his debut at a press conference held at Shangri-La hotel, Hangzhou. Hawking appeared at about 5:00 p.m. with his wife.
The 50-year-old man answered a total of nine questions with the help of his computer."Experts in theoretical science are dispersed around the world but we need communication. I am very glad that the world's first-class conference is being held in China this time, "he said.
I find the real universe much more interesting than the one in the film Star Wars," Hawking joked. "I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interestedin it. Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied( 隱含 ) space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.
One consequence ( 結(jié)果 ) of such a unification theorywould be that black holes would not be completely black, but emit( 防射 ) radiation and eventually evaporate( 蒸發(fā) ) and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.
But the talented man who has produced such rich work suffers serious Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎縮性脊髓索硬化)。 He is one of the 350,000 sufferers in the world. The disease kills over 100,000 people every year."I like life and I love life, my family and music give me the greatest happiness,” smiled Hawking, who can only move three fingers.
In the coming year, Hawking said he is scheduled to write a new edition of A Brief History of Time for young children.
"A Brief History of Time is my first book for common people. But I later found that I could write it in a more simple way," he answered. "So I decided to rewrite it so that all people can read it easily. "

難點(diǎn)
1. Imagination is more important than knowledge．
想像力比知識(shí)更重要。
(1)在這個(gè)句子中，我們應(yīng)注意more…than．．．的正確理解，漢語(yǔ)意思為“比……更……”。
eg： He works more and better than he used to．
他的工作比過(guò)去做得更好。
Some students think chemistry is more interesting than physics．
有些學(xué)生認(rèn)為化學(xué)比物理更有意思。
(2)另外more…than…還可譯作“與其……倒不如……”
eg：The child was more frightened than hurt．
這孩子的傷倒不算什么，只是受驚不小。
The book seems to be more a dictionary than a grammar．
這本書(shū)看來(lái)與其說(shuō)是一本語(yǔ)法書(shū)，倒不如說(shuō)是一本詞典。
2. It takes a very unusual mind t0 undertake analysis of the obvious．
分析明顯存在的事物需要非凡的頭腦。
(1)在這個(gè)句中take作“需要，要求”講。
eg：The journey from London to Oxford takes about an hour and a half．
從倫敦到牛津大約需要一個(gè)半小時(shí)。
It'll take a long time for her to recover from the illness．
她的病需要很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才能痊愈。
3．…they are studying something that is too large or too difficult to observe directly，…
他們正在研究一些太大或太難而無(wú)法直接觀察到的東西。
too…to太……而不能／而沒(méi)有
eg：He is too angry to speak．他太生氣了，以致說(shuō)不出話(huà)。
He went too late to see her．他去得太晚了而沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到她。
但是，該句型有時(shí)卻不表示否定，而表示肯定，有以下三種情況：
(1)如果too后為glad，pleased，happy，eager，anxious，willing，ready(甘心的、情愿的)，easy 等表示心情(情緒)的形容詞時(shí)，該句型表示肯定意義，這時(shí)too相當(dāng)于very。
eg：Mary is too willing to study Chinese．
瑪麗很愿意學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)。
The old man is too easy to get angry．
那個(gè)老頭很容易生氣。
(2)當(dāng)too前有副詞only，but，a11修飾時(shí)，該句型也表示肯定意義。這時(shí)only(but，a11)too相當(dāng)于very very，語(yǔ)氣較強(qiáng)。
eg：I shall be only too pleased to come．我將非常高興來(lái)。
We are but too glad to do s0．我們非常愿意這樣做。
(3)如果too前有否定詞never，not，即never／not too…to…的形式；或不定式前有not時(shí)，即too…not to do的形式，均表示肯定意義。
eg：This lesson is not too hard to understand．
這一節(jié)不太難，容易理解。
You are too clever not to learn English well．
你很聰明，能學(xué)好英語(yǔ)。
練習(xí)： He is careless find out all the errors in the composition．
A．too；to B．very；to
C．much；to D．rather；to
Grammar
一 不定式的用法
不定式由“to+動(dòng)詞原形”構(gòu)成其否定形式是"not to do”。
不定式可以帶賓語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)構(gòu)成不定式短語(yǔ)，
沒(méi)有人稱(chēng)和數(shù)的變化，但有時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)的變化。
to do 一般式
不定式的主動(dòng)式有 to have done 完成式
to be doing 進(jìn)行式
被動(dòng)式最常用的是 to be done。
不定式的用法主要有：主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ),但不能作謂語(yǔ)。
1.作主語(yǔ)：不定式短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，往往放在謂語(yǔ)之后，用it作形式主語(yǔ)。 例：To see is to believe．
It is right to give up smoking．
It is a great pleasure to talk with him.
It is important for us to learn English well.
It is kind of you to help me so much.
注意：
要想說(shuō)明不定式的動(dòng)作是由誰(shuí)發(fā)出，可在不定式前加for sb.；但如果是形容詞
careless, clever, foolish, good, impolite, kind, nice, silly, stupid 等作表語(yǔ)時(shí)用of sb.
2.作賓語(yǔ)：不定式短語(yǔ)作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)，如果還帶有賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，往往把不定式賓語(yǔ)放在賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)之后，而用it作形式賓語(yǔ)。
eg：e wanted to go．
I find it interesting to work with him．
Most of them don't know how to solve the problem.
You can decide whether to stay at home or play football.
注意：
有些動(dòng)詞后如：know, decide, find out, show, learn, teach, tell, wonder 常用 動(dòng)詞+疑問(wèn)詞+不定式 的形式。
3.作定語(yǔ): 一般放在被修飾的名詞或代詞之后。
eg：I have some books for you to read．
注意：
(1)作定語(yǔ)的不定式如果是不及物動(dòng)詞，或者不定式所修飾的名詞或代詞是不定式
動(dòng)作的地點(diǎn)、工具等，不定式后面須有相應(yīng)的介詞。
eg：He is looking for a room to live in．
There is nothing to worry about．
Please give me a knife to cut with．
但是，不定式所修飾的名詞如果是time，place或way，不定式后面的介詞習(xí)慣上要省去。
eg：He had no money and no place to live．
(2)當(dāng)作定語(yǔ)的不定式所修飾的名詞或代詞是不定式動(dòng)作的承受者時(shí)，不定式既可以用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，也可用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，但其含義有所不同。試比較：
(1)Have you anything to send? 你有什么東西要寄嗎?
(不定式to send的動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者是you)
②Have you anything to be sent? 你有什么要(我或別人)寄的東西嗎?
(不定式to be sent的動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者是已被省略的me或someone else)
4.作狀語(yǔ): 表示目的、原因、結(jié)果或條件
eg：I came here to see you．(目的)
We were very excited to hear the news．(原因)
He hurried to the school only to find nobody there．(only to…常表示未曾料到的結(jié)果)
To look at him，you would like him．(條件)
注意：
(1) 目的狀語(yǔ)還可以用in order to或so as to來(lái)表示。
eg：In order to pass the exam, he worked very hard.
We ran all the way so as not to be late．
(2)不定式也可在作表語(yǔ)用的形容詞后面作狀語(yǔ)。
eg：I am very glad to hear it．
he question is difficult to answer．
(3)“too+形容詞或副詞+不定式”也作狀語(yǔ)。
eg：He is too old to do that．
另外句子中有enough這個(gè)詞時(shí)，常用不定式作狀語(yǔ)。
eg： The room is big enough to hold us．
5.作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)
eg：He asked me to do the work with him．
(1)在feel，hear，listen to，look at，notice，observe，see，watch，have，let，
make等詞后的補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)中，不定式不帶to，但是這些句子如果變成被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，就必須帶to。
eg: I often hear him sing the song．
He is often heard to sing the song．
(2)動(dòng)詞不定式在介詞but，except，besides后面時(shí),如果這些介詞之前有行為動(dòng)詞do的各種形式，那么這些介詞后的不定式不帶to，否則要帶to。
eg：She could do nothing but cry．
What do you like to do besides swim?
I have no choice but to go．
6.作表語(yǔ)
eg：My job is to help the patient．
7.作獨(dú)立成分
eg： To tell the truth，I don't agree with you．
8.不定式與疑問(wèn)詞who，which，when，where，how，what等連用，在句中起名詞作用，可充當(dāng)主語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)等。
eg：He didn't know what to say．(賓語(yǔ))
How to solve the problem is very important．(主語(yǔ))
My question is when to start．(表語(yǔ))
二 不定式的省略
在一定的語(yǔ)境中，為了避免重復(fù)，在某些詞語(yǔ)的后面不定式可省略，但不定式to通常不能省略。
1. 形容詞后不定式的省略。這類(lèi)形容詞有：happy，gIad，ready，eager，anxious等。
如：I’ ll be away on a business trip．Would you mind looking after my cat?
Not at all。I’ d be happy to．
2. 賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)、主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)中不定式的省略。這類(lèi)動(dòng)詞有l(wèi)agk，teIl，order，persuade，advise，wish，permit，allow等。
如：The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him not to．
3. 動(dòng)詞后不定式的省略。這類(lèi)動(dòng)詞有：like，love，hope，wish，mean，want，refuse，try，advise，persuade等。
如： Will you go to the theatre，Miss Brown?
Sorry．I don want to．
4. 在某些固定用法，如：ought to，have to，used to，be able to，be going to等后也可省略不定式。
如：一Alice，why didn’t you come yesterday?
一1 was going to，but I had an unexpected visitor．
注意：
有些動(dòng)詞后既可接不定式，也可接動(dòng)名詞，但含義不同。試比較：
go on doing sth．繼續(xù)干同一件事
go on to do sth．接著干另外一件事
stop doing sth．停止干某事
stop to do sth．停下來(lái)去干某事
forget doing sth．忘記已干了某事
forget to d0 sth．忘記要干某事
remember doing sth．記得已經(jīng)干了某事
remember to do sth．記住要干某事
try doing sth．試著干某事
try to do sth．設(shè)法干某事
mean doing sth．意味著干某事
mean to do sth．打算干某事
cant help doing sth．禁不住干某事
can't help(to)to sth．不能幫助干某事
regret doing sth．后悔干了某事
regret to do sth．因要做某事而感到遺憾
◇例題解析
1. She can’t help _______the house because she’s busy making a cake．
A．to clean B．cleaning
c．cleaned D．being cleaned (上海高考題)
[解析] 考查不定式作賓語(yǔ)。但不可因?yàn)樗茧r定勢(shì)的影響而選擇了B項(xiàng)。can’t help cleaning的意思是“忍不住要打掃”。與下文矛盾。本句句意是：她不能幫忙打掃房子，因?yàn)樗τ谧龅案�。can't help(to)do stll．表示“不能幫忙做某事”。[答案] A

A．to send B．for sending
C．to send it to D．for sending it to

3. The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier，______ it more difficult．
A．not make B．not to make
C．not making D．do not make (全國(guó)高考題)

A．to wash B．washing C．wash D．to be washing
[解析] 不定式在使役動(dòng)詞 make 后作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)時(shí)不帶to，但如果make變?yōu)楸粍?dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),不定式就成了主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，就須加上to。 [答案】 A
5. The chair looks rather hard，but in fact it is very comfortable to________.
A．sit B．sit on
C．be sat D．be sat on (全國(guó)高考題)
[解析] 不定式to sit on用作狀語(yǔ)，要用主動(dòng)形式。sit為不及物動(dòng)詞，故應(yīng)加上一個(gè)介詞on。[答案] B
6. 一--The light in the office is still on．
一-- 0h，I forgot_______．
A．turning it off B．turn it off
C．to turn it off D．having turned it off (全國(guó)高考題)

11. Little Jim should 1ove________to the theatre this evening．
A．to be taken B．to take
C．being taken D. taking (全國(guó)高考題)
[解析] would like／love 后只接不定式，一般不能接動(dòng)名詞。Jim 和take 間存在被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用不定式的被動(dòng)形式。[答案] A

A．it what to do with B．what to do it with
C．what to do with it D．to do what with it
[解析] 該題考查名詞詞組作用的“疑問(wèn)詞+不定式”的用法。根據(jù)句意和結(jié)構(gòu)，空白處應(yīng)填“疑問(wèn)詞+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)，作know的賓語(yǔ)。do with 在此意為“利用”、“使用”。[答案] c
13. She will tell us why she feels so strongly that each of us
has a role_______ in making the earth a better place to live．
A．to have played B．to play
C．to be played D．to be playing(2003年上海春招題)
[解析] 本題考查動(dòng)詞不定式作后置定語(yǔ)的用法。這里是不定式作定語(yǔ)，修飾a role。但要注意不定式的不同形式表達(dá)不同含義。to have played表示完成；to be playing表示進(jìn)行;play表示將來(lái)；to be played表被動(dòng)關(guān)系。根據(jù)句意“她會(huì)告訴我們?yōu)槭裁此@樣強(qiáng)烈地感覺(jué)到：在使地球成為更美好的居住地中，我們每個(gè)人起到一定作用�！笔潜硎緦�(lái)。
再者要注意當(dāng)動(dòng)詞不定式與所修飾的名詞之間為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，同時(shí)與句子主語(yǔ)為主謂關(guān)系時(shí)，動(dòng)詞不定式用其主動(dòng)形式表示被動(dòng)意思，故排除c項(xiàng)。由題干從句中時(shí)態(tài)來(lái)看，為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)(has arole)，故此處表示“起作用”，并非已完成的動(dòng)作或正在起作用，故排除A、D兩項(xiàng)。[答案] B

8.A 剖析：在此，ought not to=shouldn’t，而 should have done 結(jié)構(gòu)則表示對(duì)過(guò)去情況責(zé)備，從后句中的 meant 知是過(guò)去情況，故符合題意。易誤：若不知是過(guò)去情況則易誤選B。
9.C 剖析：要做對(duì)此題，必需具備的知識(shí)是rather than + 動(dòng)詞原形，prefer to + 動(dòng)詞原形。
10.B 剖析：make用于被動(dòng)句時(shí)，要還原原來(lái)的to。易誤：若看見(jiàn)make就想到make sb．do sth．而想不到被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)的特殊性,則易誤選A.

It was Christmas Day 1999. On CNN，talk show host(節(jié)目主持人)Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking．
“What，professor， 16 you the most ?”King asked．“What do you think about the most?”
Hawking immediately replied．“ 17 ．”
It’s a comfort to know that Hawking，one of the 18 men in the world，is puzzled by the opposite sex．But，that’ s not 19 ,according to Satoshi Kanazawa．Bright people are 20 better than anyone else at making smart decisions about common things，he says．These 21 finding a mate， maintaining family relationships，raising children，finding the way home，and handling a variety of basic life needs．
That's 22 there are several kinds of formal“intelligence”，Kanazawa argues．Being smart one way does not 23 meant smart in another way. This view is 24 to cause arguments among scientists who think about thinking．That is because it 25 with the common view that general intelligence is a single thing．In that view，it is not，as Kanazawa and others say，a set of 26 mental areas．
Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time．Many people have heard about 27 is called “emotional intelligence”． Now，psychologists have discovered several 28 types of intelligence．These include the ability to learn a language，find a mate，recognize faces，and 29 oneself in a new environment．
But，is there evidence to 30 the theory that intelligence comes in many 31 ?“Actually，there is quite a 1ot of evidence” ，Kanazawa says． “If there were only one type of intelligence” ，he 32 ，“then people with 33 IQs should be 'smart' in every way. "
In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects ( 受實(shí)驗(yàn)者 ) on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out 34 they were. In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze( 迷宮 ). 35 ,high IQ did not give them any edge( 優(yōu)勢(shì) ).

Edmond Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not work it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Then Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had beenm 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing ideal Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There was 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some myears before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley'sComet in his honor.

China's first astronaut Yang Liwei walked out of the reentry capsule (太空艙) of the Shenzhou 5 spaceship, smiling and waving to the recovery team Thursday morning in the grasslands in Govi Desert, Inner Mongolia.
Yang has spent 21 hours in outer space, traveling more than 600,000 kilometers in the earth's orbit before Shenzhou 5 brought him back at 6:07 a. m. ,Thursday morning Beijing time. After the 21-bours journey, the first by a Chinese, Yang said he felt excellent all the way.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said in a congratulation message Thursday morning that China's first manned space flight has been a "complete success", which shall be written into the history of China's space program development.
After Yang went out of the capsule, physicians immediately conducted a physical check-up of Yang, which found him in good conditions. At around 7 : 40 a. m. , Yang was ferried by a military helicopter to Beijing, where a gala celebration party will be held. At about 6:O0 a. m. , Thursday, guided by the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center, the return capsule of Shenzhou 5 entered China's air space. Several minutes later, the capsule landed safely in Northwest China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Yang reported "conditions good".
Five rescue helicopters raced towards the capsule and found it at 6:36 a. m. They said Yang felt good and the conditions with the capsule also seemed normal.
At 6:51, Yang Liwei went out of the capsule on himself,waving and smiling to rescuers and reporters.Li Jinai, chief commander of China's space program, said that the actual landing site is 4.8 kilometers from the designed site, but the conditions of the return capsule are good and Yang could walk out of the capsule on himself. All these marked the complete success of the manned flight.
9. What time did Shenzhou 5 enter outer space?
A. At about 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
B. At about 9:00 a. m. Thursday.
C. At about 6:00 a.m. Wednesday.
D. At about 9:00 a.m. Wednesday.
10. While Yang Liwei was in outer space,_______.
A. something was wrong with Shenzhou 5
B. he felt sick
C. he was in good conditions
D. physicians conducted a physical check-up of him
11. Where did Shenzhou 5 land?
A. In the orbit of the earth.
B. In Northeast of China.
C. In Inner Mongolia.
D. In the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center.
12. From the last paragraph we know that _______.
A. Yang Liwei landed in the exact designed site
B. the conditions of the return capsule were not very good
C. Yang Liwei was too tired to walk out of the capsule by himself
D. China's manned flight was a great success
13. Which of the following explanation is closest to the underlined
word ( in paragraph 4) in meaning?

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate( 調(diào)查 ), how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measure-ments. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
14. What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A. The tools he uses.
B. His ways of learning.
C. The way he uses his tools.
D. The various tools he use.
15. “The scientist, however, goes one step further, ...” the
author says this to show ______.
A. the importance of information
B. the importance of thinking
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary peop
