When NASA astronaut Scott Kelly completes his yearlong mission on the International Space Station next year, he’ll come back just a little bit younger than his twin, Mark, than he was before. This is because time travels more slowly in space, a phenomenon first described by Albert Einstein’s 1915 theory of general relativity.

This December, universities and academies around the world are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the theory’s publication.

Even 60 years after his death, Einstein is still the most important scientist of the modern era. Looking back as far as 2,400 years ago, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals.

Born in the era of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas started a technological revolution that brought about more change in one century than in the 2,000 years before.

In 1905, Einstein published four important scientific papers. These completely changed people’s ideas about space, time, light and matter. In one of these papers Einstein. introduced his theory of special relativity. Two groundbreaking parts of the theory were about the relationship between mass and energy and the speed of light. Einstein was able to show that mass and energy were connected through the formula E＝MC2. The theory also says that no object can travel faster than the speed of light.

About 10 years later came his theory of general relativity, the theory that modern physics is really based on. In Einstein’s mathematics, space has three dimensions, and the fourth dimension is time. Space and time are part of one continuum, called space-time. The presence of mass changes space-time, which explains where gravity comes from.

Computers, satellites, telecommunication, lasers, television and nuclear power, many of the biggest developments in the modern world, can be linked to Einstein’s work.

“We are a different people than we were a century ago,” said astrophysicist Michael Shara of the American Museum of Natural. History, “completely different, because of Einstein.”

However, there’s more to him beyond the image of a science mastermind. Einstein, as a person, has also become a grandfatherly icon in our culture.

He liked playing Mozart on his Violin and keeping fit by hiking and walking. Power was not his goal. In 1952, the young nation of Israel asked Einstein to be its president, but he refused.

And, yes, he was eccentric. With hair like that, how could he not be?

1.The first paragraph was written to .

A. get readers to wonder about the effects of space travel on astronauts’ health

B. interest readers in the relationship between time and space

C. describe what gave Einstein the inspiration for his theories

D. lead in to the topic of the theory of general relativity

2.From the article, it can be concluded that .

A. the theory of general relativity is mainly about space and time

B. the theory of general relativity proves that the speed of light is the fastest of all speeds

C. the theory of general relativity is about math and has nothing to do with physics

D. the most important parts of the theory of special relativity are about space and energy

3.By using Michael Shara’s words, the author intends to .

A. give high praise to Einstein’s important publications

B. stress the great contribution that Einstein made to the modern world

C. suggest that more research needs to be done into Einstein and his work

D. say that there was more to Einstein than just being a science genius

“Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”

He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.

Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person appeared.

Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”

The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket（棺材）. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”

1.Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?

A. Because her son had a tiny face.

B. Because she saw her son crying.

C. Because her son was born imperfect.

D. Because her son was in her arms.

2.Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?

A. Nervous. B. Sympathetic.

C. Proud. D. Angry.

3.Who gave the son the ears?

A. A doctor B. His father.

C. His mother. D. A stranger.

4.The underlined word “reveal” in the last but one paragraph means “________”．

A. see B. show C. find D. search

5.The best title for the passage would be ________.

A. Mother’s hair

B. An unforgettable memory

C. Who gave me the ears?

D. Who is my best respectable person?

Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome (学者症候群). Savants suffer from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast(显出差异) sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.

Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.

Peek’s unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time---one page with the right eye and one with the left---in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.

Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek’s life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone. Everyone is different.”

1.The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. happy B. vivid C. amazing D. short

2.According to the text, Peek ________.

A. could take care of himself

B. was born with a good memory

C. was the student of Dr. David Treffert

D. became brain-damaged at 20 months old

3.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?

A. By proving facts. B. By following time order.

C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.

4.Peek’s words suggest that we should ________.

A. respect different cultures

B. listen to different opinions

C. treat different people differently

D. be respectful of others’differences

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.

The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately（精确地） record not only know far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers(纤维) that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.

Sensors record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.

The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.

Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”

Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around ￡120, which will go on sale in March.

1.What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?

A. People who are disabled.

B. People who invented the socks.

C. People who are not good at dancing.

D. People who are interested in dancing.

2.What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of ?

A. They can monitor the movement of feet.

B. They feel much softer than normal clothes.

C. They are expensive to produce.

D. They act as a smart phone for users.

3.According to Dr Vigano, _____

A. 60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks.

B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks.

C. everyone can make good use of the smart socks.

D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks.
