提到查尔斯·理查德·德鲁这个名字,人们知之甚少。被誉为“血库之父”的他,是建立血库的第一人。他发明了保存血浆的方法,为世界的医学发展做出了巨大的贡献。
Dr.Charles Richard Drew, Father of the Blood Bank
Charles Richard Drew was a famous African-American doctor and scientist.His work on blood banks helped save thousands of lives during World War Ⅱ.
Charles Richard Drew was born in 1904 in Washington, D.C. His main interest was in sports when he was young.He won many medals for swimming.Later, he focused his attention on track, basketball, and football.During college, Charles became interested in medicine.He attended medical school at McGill University in Canada.In 1933, he received his Doctor of Medicine degree.
As a doctor and researcher, Charles was absorbed in research on blood transfusions(输血).Through his study, he found that blood plasma(血浆) could be successfully used instead of whole blood.He wrote up the results which were published(发表) in a
report.During World War Ⅱ, Charles worked with the British.He helped them develop the blood bank.He organized the collection of blood plasma from different hospitals.The life-saving plasma saved many wounded people in the war.He also helped the American Red Cross develop a blood bank.Around this time, Charles became known as the “father of the blood bank”.
Charles’ life was cut short by a car accident in 1950.However, his legacy(遗产) is still alive and well today.Charles’ name appears on a great number of schools and organizations across the country.In 1981, his photo appeared in the United States Postal Service’s Great Americans stamp series.At Amherst, a beautiful brick house is named in memory of his outstanding achievements.The American Red Cross’ Charles Drew Institute in Biomedical Services is also named after him.

JOHN SNOW DEFEATS①“KING CHOLERA”
John Snow was a famous doctor in London—so expert②,indeed, that he attended③ Queen Victoria as her personal physician④.But he became inspired⑤ when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to⑥ cholera. This was the deadly⑦ disease of its day.Neither its cause nor its cure⑧ was understood.So many thousands of terrified⑨ people died every time there was an outbreak⑩.John Snow wanted to face the challenge?and solve this problem.He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause was found.
◆so...that...“如此……以至于……”,so在此修饰形容词expert。破折号后的内容进一步解释前面的doctor。
◆when引导时间状语从句,exposed to cholera在此作后置定语,修饰ordinary people。
◆neither...nor...(既不……也不……)连接两个并列名词词组作主语。当neither...nor...连接两个名词(词组)或代词作主语时,谓语动词的数要遵循就近一致原则。
◆every time“每次”,起连词作用,引导时间状语从句。
◆that引导宾语从句,从句中又含有until引导的时间状语从句。
He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed people.The first suggested that cholera multiplied? in the air.A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims?.The second suggested that people absorbed? this disease into their bodies with their meals.From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.
◆that...killed people是定语从句,修饰先行词two theories,该定语从句中又含有宾语从句how cholera killed people,该从句作explained的宾语。
◆suggested在此处意为“间接表明,暗示”,后面的从句不用虚拟语气。后面的“The second suggested that...their meals.”也是如此。
◆过去分词affected在此作前置定语,表示“受疾病侵袭的”。
John Snow suspected? that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence. So when another outbreak hit? London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry?. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gather information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe? that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.
◆本句为并列句,but连接两个并列分句,第一个分句中含有that引导的宾语从句,从句作suspected的宾语。
◆as在此引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”。
First he marked? on a map the exact places where all the dead people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue? about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the water pumpB21 in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 and 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street ) had had no deaths. He had not foreseenB22 this, so he made furtherB23 investigationsB24. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blameB25.
◆where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the exact places, where在从句中作地点状语。
◆It seemed/seems that...“看来……”,这是一个常用句型。was to blame表示“对……负有责任”,不定式to blame用主动形式表示被动意义。
Next, John Snow looked intoB26 the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. He immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handleB27 from the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed downB28. He had shown that cholera was spread by germsB29 and not in a cloud of gas.
◆that引导的从句作found的宾语,从句中过去分词短语polluted by...London作后置定语,修饰the river。
◆so that在此引导目的状语从句。
In another part of London, he found supportingB30 evidence from two other deaths that were linked toB31 the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away from Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announceB32 with certaintyB33 that polluted water carried the germs.
◆that...outbreak为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词two other deaths。
◆本句中“who...Broad Street”为who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词A woman。主句中“so much that she had it delivered...every day”为“so...that...”结构,该结构表示“如此……以至于……”;had it delivered为have sth.done结构。
To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies be examined. The water companies were instructedB34 not to expose people to polluted water any more. Finally “King Cholera” was defeated.
◆本句中“To prevent...again”为动词不定式短语作目的状语,prevent...(from) doing表示“阻止……做……”;suggested在此表示“建议”,that引导的宾语从句用的是虚拟语气,从句谓语为be examined, be前面省略了should。
约翰·斯诺
战胜“霍乱王”
约翰·斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生——他的确医术精湛,因而成了维多利亚女王的私人医生。但当他一想到要帮助(那些)受到霍乱威胁的普通老百姓,他就感到很振奋。霍乱在当时是致命的疾病。人们既不知道它的病源,也不了解它的治愈方法。所以每次霍乱爆发时,就有成千上万对之感到害怕的人死亡。约翰·斯诺想面对这个挑战并解决这个问题。他知道直到找到病源,霍乱才能被控制住。
他对两种可能解释霍乱如何致人死亡的看法产生了兴趣。第一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中繁殖。一股危险的气体到处飘动,直到找到它的受害者为止。第二种看法是人们是在吃饭时把这种病毒引入体内的。疾病从胃里迅速侵袭全身,患者很快就死亡了。
约翰·斯诺认为第二种看法是正确的,但是他需要证据。因此,在1854年伦敦再次爆发霍乱时,他就准备开始他的调查。当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延时,他就开始收集资料。(他发现)在两条特别的街上这种疫情很严重,以至于10天之内500多人死去。他决定查明原因。
首先他在一张地图上标记了所有死者曾经住过的精确地点。这给他提供了一条关于该疾病病因的有价值的线索。许多死者生前住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是16、37、38和40号)。他还发现有些住所(如宽街上的20号和21号以及剑桥大街上的8号和9号)却无人死亡。他(之前)没预测到这种情况,所以他做了更进一步的调查。他发现这些人都在剑桥大街7号的酒馆里工作。酒馆免费给他们提供啤酒,因此他们没有喝过从(宽街)水泵里抽上来的水。看来水是罪魁祸首。
接下来,约翰·斯诺调查了这两条街的水源情况。他发现水是从河里来的,而河水被从伦敦排放的脏水污染了。他马上叫宽街上惊讶的人们拆掉水泵的把手,这样,水泵就不能用了。不久,疫情得到了缓解。他证明了霍乱是由病菌而不是由气团传播的。
在伦敦的另一个地区,他从两个与宽街爆发的霍乱有关联的死亡病例中又发现了有力证据。有一位妇女是从宽街搬过来的,她非常喜欢从那个水泵里抽上来的水,因此每天都要让人把水运到她家。她和她的女儿喝了这种水后,都得霍乱死了。有了这个额外的证据,约翰·斯诺就能够肯定地宣布被污染了的水带有(霍乱)病菌。
为防止这种情况再度发生,约翰·斯诺建议所有水源都要经过检测。自来水公司接到了指令,不能再让人们接触被污染的水了。最后,“霍乱王”被打败了。

George Washington Carver was born some time in the early-mid 1860s. As a sickly child, Carver was unable to work in the fields, so he did gardening.He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods—beginning his career with nature.He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends and neighbors manage sick plants.
In 1890, Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College.His artwork was on show at the 1893 World’s Fair.Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves—art and nature.Yet it was his talents(天赋) for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891.Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University.He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the school’s first African-American teacher.
In 1896, he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Tuskegee, Alabama.Upon arriving, he found that the school was short of money so Dr. Carver had to equip his own lab.He and his students would search trash heaps(垃圾堆) for things to use.This proved that Dr.Carver was well ahead of his time.
In 1916, he published a research report on peanuts, which helped many farmers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy(经济) of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects’ attack.Carver continued his research with the peanut.He went on to find many uses for the peanut.But he didn’t invent peanut butter(花生酱).
Dr.Carver’s research earned him much worldwide praise.Dr.George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943, and was buried at Tuskegee.Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee.Upon his death, Franklin D. Roosevelt gave him the title “an inspiring example to youth everywhere”.

Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria on November 7, 1878.She was the third child of eight children in the family.Her father Philipp, who was a lawyer, hired personal teachers to teach the children, and she learned mathematics very well.Music was important to the family, and all the children learned to play the piano.The Meitner children were taught to listen to their parents, but to think for themselves.
When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria.But, inspired by the discovery of Henri Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity(放射性).
When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities.Meitner was admitted into the University of Vienna; there she was excellent at math and physics and earned her doctor’s degree in 1906.She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her in the Paris lab, so Meitner made her way to Berlin.There she worked with Otto Hahn, but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.
In 1912, the pair moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab equipment.Though Meitner was forced to escape Nazi Germany in 1938, they continued to co-work.Meitner continued her work in Sweden and later they found the phenomenon “nuclear fission(核裂变)”.The discovery, which finally led to the atomic bomb, won Hahn the Nobel Prize in 1944.Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee(委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.

D.She wanted to study radioactivity by herself.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria.”及第三段第一句可知,Lise Meitner高中毕业后没能上大学是因为当时在奥地利女孩子不允许上大学。
7.What did Lise Meitner probably realize when working in Berlin?
A.She was unfairly treated there.
B.She made the wrong college choice.
C.She should have kept her identity a secret.
D.She should find a better partner than Otto Hahn.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“...but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.”可知,由于身份的缘故,她被不公平地对待。
8.What was most probably Lise Meitner’s attitude toward the Nobel committee?
A.Indifferent. B.Unclear.
C.Angry. D.Supportive.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee(委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.”可推断,Meitner对诺贝尔奖委员会对自己的忽视感到非常气愤。

George Washington Carver was born some time in the early-mid 1860s. As a sickly child, Carver was unable to work in the fields, so he did gardening.He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods—beginning his career with nature.He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends and neighbors manage sick plants.
In 1890, Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College.His artwork was on show at the 1893 World’s Fair.Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves—art and nature.Yet it was his talents(天赋) for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891.Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University.He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the school’s first African-American teacher.
In 1896, he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Tuskegee, Alabama.Upon arriving, he found that the school was short of money so Dr. Carver had to equip his own lab.He and his students would search trash heaps(垃圾堆) for things to use.This proved that Dr.Carver was well ahead of his time.
In 1916, he published a research report on peanuts, which helped many farmers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy(经济) of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects’ attack.Carver continued his research with the peanut.He went on to find many uses for the peanut.But he didn’t invent peanut butter(花生酱).
Dr.Carver’s research earned him much worldwide praise.Dr.George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943, and was buried at Tuskegee.Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee.Upon his death, Franklin D. Roosevelt gave him the title “an inspiring example to youth everywhere”.

Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria on November 7, 1878.She was the third child of eight children in the family.Her father Philipp, who was a lawyer, hired personal teachers to teach the children, and she learned mathematics very well.Music was important to the family, and all the children learned to play the piano.The Meitner children were taught to listen to their parents, but to think for themselves.
When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria.But, inspired by the discovery of Henri Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity(放射性).
When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities.Meitner was admitted into the University of Vienna; there she was excellent at math and physics and earned her doctor’s degree in 1906.She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her in the Paris lab, so Meitner made her way to Berlin.There she worked with Otto Hahn, but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.
In 1912, the pair moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab equipment.Though Meitner was forced to escape Nazi Germany in 1938, they continued to co-work.Meitner continued her work in Sweden and later they found the phenomenon “nuclear fission(核裂变)”.The discovery, which finally led to the atomic bomb, won Hahn the Nobel Prize in 1944.Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee(委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.
【解题导语】 Lise Meitner是一位奥地利女科学家,文章介绍了她对核物理学的贡献。

A.She wasn’t interested in college.
B.Girls in her country were not allowed.
C.Her family couldn’t afford the school fees.
D.She wanted to study radioactivity by herself.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria.”及第三段第一句可知,Lise Meitner高中毕业后没能上大学是因为当时在奥地利女孩子不允许上大学。
7.What did Lise Meitner probably realize when working in Berlin?
A.She was unfairly treated there.
B.She made the wrong college choice.
C.She should have kept her identity a secret.
D.She should find a better partner than Otto Hahn.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“...but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.”可知,由于身份的缘故,她被不公平地对待。
8.What was most probably Lise Meitner’s attitude toward the Nobel committee?
A.Indifferent. B.Unclear.
C.Angry. D.Supportive.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee(委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her 80s.”可推断,Meitner对诺贝尔奖委员会对自己的忽视感到非常气愤。

Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.
Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses(晶状体),he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.
In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus(磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine(氯),though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.
Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters(火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes(骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there—he is the only person who has had this honor.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了三位科学家冒着牺牲健康甚至是生命的危险在寻找真理的科学之路上所遭受的苦难。
1.What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Brief. B.Slight.
C.Lasting. D.Ordinary.
C 解析:词义猜测题。由第二段介绍牛顿把针插到眼睛里做实验的结果“Luckily, nothing long-lasting did.”和他盯着太阳看的实验结果“Again he escaped...damage”可知,两次危险的实验都没有让牛顿遭受持久性的伤害。
2.What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?
A.Tasting chemicals.
B.Staying in the empty lab.
C.Experimenting in darkness.
D.Working together with others.
A 解析:细节理解题。由第三段的“his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with”可知,Karl Scheele有一个缺点是他喜欢在做实验时品尝化学品的味道。
3.What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?
A.He was buried in the Tanami desert.
B.Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.
C.One comet of Jupiter was named after him.
D.A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.
B 解析:细节理解题。由最后一段的“Some of his ashes(骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there—he is the only person who has had this honor.”可知,Shoemaker是唯一死后其部分骨灰被放到了月球上的人。

Philo Farnsworth is not a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn, the way we live, and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the most important inventions of the 20th century: television.
Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906. He was interested in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his family’s washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons(电子). As he was driving the family’s horse-drawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan(扫描) an image one row at a time—an idea that was the key to electronic television.
By the time he was twenty-one years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the world’s first electronic television. It was a very simple device(设备). But after years of hard work, Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.
Farnsworth was a great inventor, but he lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America(RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was. He_won_the_case,_but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didn’t make much money from the invention.
When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies(交响乐) and ballets. When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son, “There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household.”

5.What can we learn about Philo Farnsworth?
A.He had a strong physical advantage.
B.He had strong powers of observation.

D.He had a strong sense of responsibility.
B 解析:推理判断题。由第二段的“he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that...”可知,Farnsworth具有敏锐的观察力。
6.The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as ________.
A.the real founder of RCA
B.the real inventor of the TV
C.the greatest inventor of his time
D.the organizer of the battle with RCA
B 解析:句意理解题。画线部分的the case指代上文的“a legal battle with the company...(RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was”,由此可知,赢了案件的Farnsworth被认定是电视机的真正发明者。
7.The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth ________.
A.didn’t like to watch TV programs
B.couldn’t afford to buy a TV set
C.couldn’t listen to famous lectures
D.didn’t like what television became
D 解析:段落大意题。由最后一段的“he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV”可知,电视节目后来的发展与Farnsworth最初的设想背道而驰;再由他说的“There’s nothing on it worthwhile”可知,他不喜欢后来电视所变成的样子。

COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONARY① THEORY
Nicolaus Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused②.Although he had tried to ignore③ them, all his mathematical calculations④ led to⑤ the same conclusion that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements⑥ of the other planets in the sky make sense⑦. Yet he could not tell anyone about his theory as the powerful⑧ Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the centre of the solar system.
◆that...solar system为同位语从句,解释说明conclusion的具体内容。
◆此处“Only+if引导的条件状语从句”置于句首,主句要用部分倒装结构,主句谓语中的助动词did移至主句主语之前。
◆as...such an idea为as引导的原因状语从句,从句中would have punished表示对过去将要发生的事情的假设。
The problem arose⑨ because astronomers⑩ had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward? and then go forward in a loop?. Others appeared brighter at times and less bright at others. This was very strange if the earth was the centre of the solar system and all planets went round it.
◆The problem arose为主句,because...in a loop为because引导的原因状语从句,在原因状语从句中含有that引导的宾语从句。
Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems and tried to find an answer. He had collected observations of the stars and used all his mathematical knowledge to explain them.But only his new theory could do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on? it, gradually improving his theory until he felt it was complete?.
◆现在分词短语improving...complete作伴随状语,其中含有until引导的时间状语从句。
In 1514 he showed it privately? to his friends.The changes he made to the old theory were revolutionary.He placed a fixed? sun at the centre of the solar system with the planets going round it and only the moon still going round the earth. He also suggested that the earth was spinning? as it went round the sun and this explained changes in the movement of the planets and in the brightness? of the stars. His friends were enthusiastic? and encouraged him to publish his ideas,but Copernicus was cautious?.He did not want to be attacked by the Christian Church,so he only published it as he lay dying in 1543.
◆he made...theory为定语从句,修饰先行词The changes,关系代词that或which已省略。
◆with... the earth为with复合结构,作伴随状语,现在分词短语going round it及going round the earth作宾补。
◆so连接两个并列分句,表示因果关系;as...in 1543为as引导的时间状语从句。
Certainly he was right to be careful.The Christian Church rejectedB21 his theory, saying it was againstB22 God’s idea and people who supported it would be attacked.Yet Copernicus’ theory is now the basis on which all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory replacedB23 the Christian idea of gravity, which said things fell to earth because God createdB24 the earth as the centre of the universe. Copernicus showed this was obviouslyB25 wrong. Now people can see that there is a direct link between his theory and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
◆现在分词短语saying...attacked作状语,其中who supported it为定语从句,修饰先行词people。
◆on which...built为on which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the basis。
◆which said...the universe为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Christian idea of gravity。said后面是宾语从句,宾语从句中又包含because引导的原因状语从句。
哥白尼的革命性理论
尼古拉·哥白尼很害怕,他的思维很混乱。虽然他曾经试着不去理睬那些数字,然而他所有的数学计算都得出同一个结论:地球不是太阳系的中心。只有当你把太阳放在中心位置上,天空中其他行星的运动才能说得清楚。然而,他不能把他的这个理论告诉任何人,因为即使他只是暗示了这种想法,也会受到有影响力的基督教教会的惩罚。教会认为上帝创造了世界,正因为如此,地球才是特殊的,它一定是太阳系的中心。
问题出现了,因为天文学家们曾经注意到,天上有些行星似乎会停下来,后移然后呈环状向前移动。另一些有时看上去比较亮,有时又不怎么亮。如果地球是太阳系的中心,而所有的行星都是围绕着地球转动的话,那么这种现象就很奇怪了。
哥白尼对这些问题曾经苦苦思索过很久,并试图找出答案。他曾经收集过观测恒星的数据,并且用他全部的数学知识来解释它们。但是只有他的新理论能对此做出解释。于是在1510年到1514年之间,他一直致力于这项研究,逐步完善他的理论,直到他觉得这个理论是完整的为止。
1514年,他私下里把他的理论证明给他的朋友。他对旧理论所做的修改是革命性的。他把太阳固定在太阳系的中心位置上,行星都绕着太阳转,只有月球仍然绕着地球转。他还表明地球在绕着太阳转的同时,也在自转,这就解释了行星运动的变化以及恒星亮度的变化。他的朋友都热情地鼓励他把他的想法公布于世,而哥白尼却小心谨慎。他不想遭到基督教教会的攻击,所以他直到1543年临终之前才公布了这一观点。
当然,他的小心谨慎是对的。基督教教会拒绝接受他的理论,说这种理论违背了上帝的旨意,而且支持这种理论的人都会遭到攻击。然而现在哥白尼的理论是我们所有的宇宙观建立的基础。他的理论取代了基督教的地心引力说,地心引力说认为物体往地面上落是因为上帝把地球创造成了宇宙的中心。哥白尼指出这明显是错误的。如今人们可以看到,他的理论与艾萨克·牛顿、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦以及史蒂芬·霍金的研究都有着直接的联系。

阅读理解
Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career,some people complain(抱怨) like this:Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade,I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don’t think I would be a very good farmer,the results are probably a lot more accurate(精确的) than I’d like to admit.At the time,it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical activities.Now,I think it might have had some points that fit my personality: I like planning (good for planning how to grow crops),working by myself (for those long days on an agricultural machine),and sometimes working on a team (for harvest time).
Watch out for any personality test that claims(声称) to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal you’d like to be,or from your favorite breakfast food as a child.While there are many personality assessments(评估) that are accurate,I’d like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-assessments.
Before finding ways to know your work preferences,it’s important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year marine(海洋的) biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the Whale Watch program,where he found out that he became violently seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of interest.If that career doesn’t exist,my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way,you will succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了个性测试与职业选择的关系并告诉人们应如何选择合适的职业。
1.What is some people’s opinion on choosing a career through personality tests?
A.It’s possible to lead to career failure.
B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C.It’s unreasonable.
D.It’s worth a try.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据首段中的“some people complain(抱怨) like this:Those tests are so stupid”可知,有些人并不认为个性测试能帮助他们选择职业。
2.What does the author think of the personality test she took when she was young?
A.She admits it forecasts her present job accurately.
B.She thinks it shows some part of her personality.
C.She finds it helpless for her.
D.She has little interest in it.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据首段中的“the results are probably a lot more accurate(精确的) than I’d like to admit”以及“I think it might have had some points that fit my personality”可知,作者认为该测试结果与她的性格很相符。
3.What is the best way to know your dream job?
A.Taking personality tests on your favorite things.
B.Doing accurate personality assessments.
C.Trying your dream job in practice.
D.Finding it out by yourself.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The best choice is self-assessments.”可知,作者认为最好的方式是自我评估。
4.Why was the marine biology student unsuitable for his job?
A.He disliked the job.
B.He felt sick traveling on a boat.
C.He was afraid of marine animals.
D.He knew little about his preferences.

Communication Tips
Here are some suggestions about making your talk with your parents turn out for the best.
Be honest.If you’re always honest,your parents will be likely to believe what you say.If you sometimes hide the truth,parents will have a harder time to believe what you tell them.1.________
Be brave and start talking.It’s easy to say “Hi,Mom!” or “Dad,can you pass the potatoes?”2.________ Let’s face it.You will feel embarrassed(尴尬的) when talking about something personal,but your parents know you quite well.They were your age once,too!So don’t let a little embarrassment stop you.It’s OK to go ahead and share what’s on your mind.
3.________ If you have a disagreement,can you consider things from your parents’ points of view?If you can,telling your parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to understand yours,too.
Try not to argue.Using a friendly and respectful tone makes your parents more likely to listen to you and take what you say seriously.4.________
What if it doesn’t work? If you still can’t talk to your parents,seek other adults’ help.5.________ Then follow all the tips above to make you communicate with that person well.
A.Explain your situation.
B.Try to understand them.
C.If you lie,they’ll find it hard to trust you.
D.Parents are the most important people in your life.
E.But it can be harder to start talking about personal topics.
F.It also makes it more likely that they’ll talk to you in the same way.
G.Find a relative or a teacher who will listen to,understand and care about you.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了几个与父母更好地沟通的方法。
1.C 解析:本段主旨为要诚实,C项“如果你说谎,他们将很难信任你”与该段主旨吻合,而且三个“If”句表示状况逐步变糟。
2.E 解析:从下文的face it可知,后面面临的是较难的问题,正好与前面的easy构成转折关系。由此推知,该处为过渡句,E项“但是,讨论个人问题会较难开口”符合逻辑。
3.B 解析:本段主要讲如果你与父母之间有分歧时,你要从他们的角度考虑问题,这样他们也会愿意去理解你的想法,B项“试图去理解他们”与本段主要内容吻合,总领该段。
4.F 解析:空白处前提到不要争吵,要用友好和尊重的语气和父母交流,因为这样也更可能会让你的父母以同样的方式与你交流,F项中的It指代空前句子。
5.G 解析:根据空白处前句子“如果你仍然不能和父母交流,那就寻求其他成年人的帮助”,由此可知,空白处填“找一个倾听你、理解你、关心你的亲戚或老师”符合语境。

阅读理解
Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career,some people complain(抱怨) like this:Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade,I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don’t think I would be a very good farmer,the results are probably a lot more accurate(精确的) than I’d like to admit.At the time,it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical activities.Now,I think it might have had some points that fit my personality: I like planning (good for planning how to grow crops),working by myself (for those long days on an agricultural machine),and sometimes working on a team (for harvest time).
Watch out for any personality test that claims(声称) to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal you’d like to be,or from your favorite breakfast food as a child.While there are many personality assessments(评估) that are accurate,I’d like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-assessments.
Before finding ways to know your work preferences,it’s important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year marine(海洋的) biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the Whale Watch program,where he found out that he became violently seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild.
The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of interest.If that career doesn’t exist,my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way,you will succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了个性测试与职业选择的关系并告诉人们应如何选择合适的职业。

A.It’s possible to lead to career failure.
B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.

C 解析:推理判断题。根据首段中的“some people complain(抱怨) like this:Those tests are so stupid”可知,有些人并不认为个性测试能帮助他们选择职业。

A.She admits it forecasts her present job accurately.
B.She thinks it shows some part of her personality.
C.She finds it helpless for her.
D.She has little interest in it.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据首段中的“the results are probably a lot more accurate(精确的) than I’d like to admit”以及“I think it might have had some points that fit my personality”可知,作者认为该测试结果与她的性格很相符。
3.What is the best way to know your dream job?
A.Taking personality tests on your favorite things.
B.Doing accurate personality assessments.
C.Trying your dream job in practice.
D.Finding it out by yourself.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The best choice is self-assessments.”可知,作者认为最好的方式是自我评估。
4.Why was the marine biology student unsuitable for his job?
A.He disliked the job.
B.He felt sick traveling on a boat.

Communication Tips
Here are some suggestions about making your talk with your parents turn out for the best.
Be honest.If you’re always honest,your parents will be likely to believe what you say.If you sometimes hide the truth,parents will have a harder time to believe what you tell them.1.________
Be brave and start talking.It’s easy to say “Hi,Mom!” or “Dad,can you pass the potatoes?”2.________ Let’s face it.You will feel embarrassed(尴尬的) when talking about something personal,but your parents know you quite well.They were your age once,too!So don’t let a little embarrassment stop you.It’s OK to go ahead and share what’s on your mind.
3.________ If you have a disagreement,can you consider things from your parents’ points of view?If you can,telling your parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to understand yours,too.
Try not to argue.Using a friendly and respectful tone makes your parents more likely to listen to you and take what you say seriously.4.________
What if it doesn’t work? If you still can’t talk to your parents,seek other adults’ help.5.________ Then follow all the tips above to make you communicate with that person well.
A.Explain your situation.
B.Try to understand them.
C.If you lie,they’ll find it hard to trust you.
D.Parents are the most important people in your life.
E.But it can be harder to start talking about personal topics.
F.It also makes it more likely that they’ll talk to you in the same way.
G.Find a relative or a teacher who will listen to,understand and care about you.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章提出了几个与父母更好地沟通的方法。
1.C 解析:本段主旨为要诚实,C项“如果你说谎,他们将很难信任你”与该段主旨吻合,而且三个“If”句表示状况逐步变糟。
2.E 解析:从下文的face it可知,后面面临的是较难的问题,正好与前面的easy构成转折关系。由此推知,该处为过渡句,E项“但是,讨论个人问题会较难开口”符合逻辑。
3.B 解析:本段主要讲如果你与父母之间有分歧时,你要从他们的角度考虑问题,这样他们也会愿意去理解你的想法,B项“试图去理解他们”与本段主要内容吻合,总领该段。
4.F 解析:空白处前提到不要争吵,要用友好和尊重的语气和父母交流,因为这样也更可能会让你的父母以同样的方式与你交流,F项中的It指代空前句子。
5.G 解析:根据空白处前句子“如果你仍然不能和父母交流,那就寻求其他成年人的帮助”,由此可知,空白处填“找一个倾听你、理解你、关心你的亲戚或老师”符合语境。

过去分词作定语
1.过去分词作定语时的意义
(1)及物动词的过去分词作定语,在语态上表示被动;在时间上,常表示动作已经发生或完成,有时也不表示时间性。
◆Trucks and buses were driven on gas carried in large bags on the roof.(表示被动)
卡车与公共汽车皆烧煤气,煤气装在车顶上的大袋中。

【典例】 (2017·北京卷)Jim has retired, but he still remembers the happy time ________(spend) with his students.
[解析] 句意:吉姆已经退休了,但他仍然记得与学生们一起度过的快乐时光。根据句意并分析句子结构可知,“the happy time”与“spend”之间是被动关系,且此处表示一个已完成的动作,所以用过去分词短语作定语。
[答案] spent
2.过去分词作定语时的位置
(1)前置定语
一般情况下,单个过去分词作前置定语,即放在所修饰词之前。
◆The polluted water was to blame for the spread of cholera.
被污染的水造成了霍乱的传播。
◆Many used computers will be sold in this market.
很多二手电脑将在这个市场出售。
有些过去分词表示特定含义时,单独作定语也可放在所修饰的名词之后,如left(剩余的),given(所给的),concerned(有关的)等。

剩余的老虎不多了,是相关当局采取措施保护它们免遭灭绝的时候了。

过去分词短语作定语时往往作后置定语,即放在所修饰词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句。
◆He is a teacher loved by his students.
他是一位受学生爱戴的老师。
◆The book published ten years ago is still a best-seller today.
十年前出版的这本书现在仍然是一本畅销书。

下个月将要建造的楼是我们的教学楼。
过去分词作表语
1.过去分词可放在连系动词be, get, feel, remain, seem, look, become等之后作表语,表示主语所处的状态
◆Tom was astonished to see a snake moving across the floor.
汤姆很惊讶地看到一条蛇正爬过地板。
◆Finally the baby felt tired of playing with those toys.
终于婴儿厌倦了玩那些玩具。
2.过去分词作表语时与被动语态的区别
过去分词作表语时,强调主语所处的状态;而动词的被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者,强调动作。
◆The library is now closed.(状态)
图书馆现在关闭了。
◆The cup was broken by my little sister yesterday.(动作)
昨天我妹妹把杯子打碎了。
3.感觉类及物动词的现在分词与过去分词作表语的区别
过去分词作表语多表示人自身的感受或事物自身的状态,常译作“感到……的”;现在分词多表示事物具有的特性,常译作“令人……的”。
◆We were amazed at what he said at the meeting.
我们对他在会上讲的话很是惊讶。
◆His words were discouraging, which made many people discouraged.
他的话令人泄气,使得很多人灰心丧气。
英语中有很多与感觉有关的及物动词,其现在分词表示主动意义,即“令人有某种感觉的”,多用来修饰物;其过去分词含有被动意义,即“人被引起某种感觉的”,多用来指人、人的声音或表情等。
常用的这类词有:
◆The man standing there looks frightening, and the little boy is frightened.
站在那里的那个人看起来很可怕,小男孩吓着了。
◆The news was exciting and we were excited the whole night.
这则消息令人激动,我们激动了整整一晚上。

A
Many teenagers play sports or go out with friends in their spare time. However, Amalia Tobias is different because she spends her free time helping others.
A few years ago, Amalia started the “Family Promise Club”. The group belongs to Family Promise, a national organization that calls on volunteers to offer care to the homeless. After volunteering for several years, Amalia found that Family Promise guests are not much different than her own family.
Amalia thought young people could make a positive difference. She brought a few of her friends to volunteer at Family Promise. There, the teens played with the children and read books to them. The teens also helped serve the meals that had been given by others. One of Amalia’s friends described it as the most unforgettable experience he had ever had.
This inspired Amalia to start the Family Promise Club. Amalia saw that her friends were happy after they volunteered because it gave them a sense of community.
Rachel Isralowitz, another student member of the club, remembered her first-time volunteering. She said, “The kids seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot. I was also very happy afterwards because there was lots of fun.”
Still, Amalia knew that starting the new club was a risk.“What if no one else comes besides me and my friends?” she wondered. At the first meeting, Amalia told the other students, “A Family Promise guest may be in an unfortunate position, but that doesn’t mean that he or she is any less of a person than we are.” Amalia was happy to see that students in all grades take an active part in the club.

A 解析:标题归纳题。本文讲述了Amalia Tobias成立了Family Promise Club的过程,用Family Promise Club作标题最合适。
B
There are big cultural differences between the US and the UK, despite(尽管) having many similarities. People talk differently, and not just in the accent or the words, but in the general meaning.
Americans are very friendly. They will talk to strangers in a store, laugh with someone at a bar, and help their neighbours as necessary. Many expats(移居海外者) have reported difficulty in making really close friends like they had in the UK. The friendliness is only on the surface.
Many Americans are very family-centered. Family life includes endless school musicals, after-class sports, birthday parties and the like. Many new expats report exhaustion trying to keep up with all the things to do with the kids when they come to the US.
Most Americans have never been abroad. The United States is a huge country. Go and look at a map of the US to get an idea. Many Americans feel they simply haven’t seen enough of their own country to consider travelling abroad to see another country. In addition, many people just don’t get enough holiday time to make it worthwhile travelling abroad, with holiday or “vacation” time often being as low as 7-10 days a year, and sometimes that includes sick days.
Most Americans are proud of Scottish or Irish or German or Italian ancestry, even if it has been centuries since anyone in their family lived abroad. Many Americans like to remember this not because they like the old country but because they like to show that their family came from immigrants(移民) who dreamed of a better life in America. By pointing out that fact, many feel they are meeting their ancestors’ wishes and dreams.
Making friends can be daunting. While for some in their 20s, they can reach out to those who are also just starting out and form some lifelong friendships, for some who are older, in their 30s and 40s, with kids and a family, meeting others can be difficult.

A.They are ready to help others.

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to do voluntary works. I’ve volunteered for a variety of difference organisations. The activities include simple, everyday ones like giving our city square a cleaning and take dogs for walks at an animal rescue centre. By volunteering, I’ve not only gained valuable experience and also built confidence in talking about strangers. I was used to be a shy person, but my volunteering experience gave us the opportunity to meet new people. Doing an activity I wouldn’t normal do with other volunteers made me had a really fun time. These are just few of the reasons why I think volunteering is worthwhile.

A
Many teenagers play sports or go out with friends in their spare time. However, Amalia Tobias is different because she spends her free time helping others.
A few years ago, Amalia started the “Family Promise Club”. The group belongs to Family Promise, a national organization that calls on volunteers to offer care to the homeless. After volunteering for several years, Amalia found that Family Promise guests are not much different than her own family.
Amalia thought young people could make a positive difference. She brought a few of her friends to volunteer at Family Promise. There, the teens played with the children and read books to them. The teens also helped serve the meals that had been given by others. One of Amalia’s friends described it as the most unforgettable experience he had ever had.
This inspired Amalia to start the Family Promise Club. Amalia saw that her friends were happy after they volunteered because it gave them a sense of community.
Rachel Isralowitz, another student member of the club, remembered her first-time volunteering. She said, “The kids seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot. I was also very happy afterwards because there was lots of fun.”
Still, Amalia knew that starting the new club was a risk.“What if no one else comes besides me and my friends?” she wondered. At the first meeting, Amalia told the other students, “A Family Promise guest may be in an unfortunate position, but that doesn’t mean that he or she is any less of a person than we are.” Amalia was happy to see that students in all grades take an active part in the club.

One possible version:
Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,
I am a student studying astronomy and I am dying to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.
The present theory doesn’t make sense. On the one hand, the way the planets move is not what you have observed if the earth is the centre of the universe; on the other hand, strangely, the brightness of some stars seems to change. So the sun is the centre of the solar system. As we all know, your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Of course, the challenge you will face is great if you publish your new theory. However, science will never advance unless people have the courage to put forward their ideas. No matter how people oppose it, I think, time will prove that your ideas are right.
So I sincerely hope you can publish your new theory.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m sorry to hear the column Cartoon will be deleted from our school English newspaper. I’d like to express my opinion.
First of all, this is really a popular column among us students. The funny drawings and humorous language make learning English more interesting. Moreover, it has been part of our English newspaper for years and we have got used to enjoying it every time we get the newspaper. Deleting it will make many students lose interest in our newspaper. Since everybody likes it, why not let it remain? I hope you will consider my suggestion.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
