At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier.In 1969, moon rocks werefinally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.In the future, even thought our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.1 2000 years ago, people already knewA. the earth moved around the moonB. the moon and the earth were made of the same thingsC. the moon was made of rocksD. the moon moves around the earth2.

It was about 6, 500 kilometres long and went across one-fourth of the planetThe Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems and food like carrots.The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.Today, China is trying to build the “21st Century Marine（海洋的）Silk Road”.

It was about 6, 500 metres long.B , It was about 5, 000 kilometres long.C. It went across one-third of the planet.D It went across one-fourth of the earth.4 . （J、题 4） Why was it named the Silk Road?A. Because Chinese silk was carried along this road.B. Because Chinese silk was produced along this road.C.

It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation（诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to go against the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science uncovered about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?To answer these questions, Brooks studies a wide range of disciplines （学科） Considering this, you might expectthe book to be a simple description of facts. But Brooks has formed his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks' story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks9 attempt to translate his tale into science.1. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage toA. explain where science can be appliedB. show the value of Brooks' new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works2. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its clear writing.C. Its convincing points.D. Its memorable characters.3. What is the author's general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory. B. Supportive. C. Cautious.D. Critical.4. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Death of the characters.B. Brooks9 life experience.C. Problems with the book.D. Brooks9 translation skills.E17.
