阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Thanks to science, industry and moral philosophy, mankind’s steps were at last guided up the right path in the past century.The 19th century of steam was about to give way to the 20th century of oil and electricity.Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, only 41 years old in 1900, provided a scientific basis for the idea that progress was not to be stopped, determined by natural law.And almost everybody thought that the development would continue to be as slow as that in the 19th century.

  Inventions like the railroad or the telegraph or the typewriter enabled people to live their everyday lives a little more conveniently.No one could have guessed that new ideas would storm the world with a force and frequency at an amazing pace.This high-speed attack of new ideas and technologies seemed to make people believe in the old dreams of a perfect life on earth, of a safe world in which natural disasters would be controlled.But the fast progress was accompanied by something against mankind’s will.

  Murders in Sarajevo(萨拉热窝)in 1914 led to the Great War, which did more than destroy a generation of Europeans.The Great War was most commonly called so until the beginning of World War Ⅱ when it was renamed World War Ⅰ.Hitler rose to power in the 1930’s.It was this very man who ordered the attack of Poland, only to meet with his failure when Great Britain and France made war on Germany.On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed the American naval base at Pearl harbor.Americans decided to enter the war, and World War Ⅱ was now truly a world war.

  But civilization was not crushed by the two great wars, and from the ruins people built a way of life again.The citizens of the 20th century felt free to reinvent themselves.In that task they were aided by two far-reaching developments-Psychoanalysis(精神分析)and the Bomb.

第一节 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从41—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, do you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way round. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval(间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how close they are to the actual spark(闪光).

1. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, ___________.

A. rains usually come without thunder and lightning

B. it is usually dry in April

C. children pay no attention to the two natural wonders

D. parents are not interested in thunder and lightning

2. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because ___________.

A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood

B. we are taken in by our sense of vision

C. it is a common natural sight

D. it is a truth proved by science

3. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?

A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.

B. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.

C. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.

D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.

4. The underlined word “activity” is most closely related to the word(s)___________.

A. “cloud”                                       B. “lightning strikes”        

C. “lightning flashes”                              D. “thunderstorms”

5. It can be concluded from the passage that____________.

A. we should not believe what we see or hear

B. things moving downward are more noticeable

C. people often have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena (现象)

D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena
