  No one can fail to stand in awed(令人敬畏的)admiration of the great discoveries of history-Newton's laws of motion,Kepler's principles of planetary movement,Einstein's general theory of relativity.Equally awe-inspiring are artistic creations in painting,theatre,music,and literature,which have also been brought about by discovery through personal efforts.What do these extraordinary achievements of wellknown scientists and artists have to do with problem solving?

  A great scientific discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem solving activity.The solution to a problem,we are told,often comes to thinkers in a “flash of insight(顿悟)”,although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time.As a particular form of problem solving,these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past,whether this be of the“public”sort known to science,or of the “private”sort known to the artist.

  Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem,often over fairly long periods of time.Indeed,it would be strange if they had not done this.Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society.The act of discovery,even in the relatively predictable(可以预见的)sense that it occurs in everyday learning,involves(涉及)a “sudden insight”which changes the problem situation into a solution situation.As we have seen,everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past,which is involved in the solution.

(1)

Newton,Kepler and Einstein are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________

[  ]

A.

bring about the subject of the discussion

B.

explain that scientists are more creative

C.

show the difference between science and arts

D.

prove that arts require more personal efforts

(2)

While kowledge from the past plays an important role in their achievements,thinkers sometimes also depend on their ________

[  ]

A.

artistic tastes

B.

sudden insight

C.

admiration of discoveries

D.

scientific experiments

(3)

What does the underlined word“this”refer to?

[  ]

A.

Great contributions to the society.

B.

Long-time study of the subject matter.

C.

Various statements about problem solving.

D.

Complete devotion to artistic creation.

(4)

We may conclude from the passage that ________

[  ]

A.

it is more likely to make scientific and artistic discoveries in everyday learning

B.

a sudden insight and knowledge from the past are required in making discoveries

C.

scientific discoveries or artistic creations are usually unpredictable in nature

D.

knowledge of the rules in the past is often developed in the changes of situation

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在正确选项上画勾。

  We buried Donald Brown last May. He was murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Partolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun, and she is alone.

  Donald Brown was the second police officer to die since I became Police Commissioner of Boston in 1972. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop (当铺) robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.

  At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of crime; it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police officers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handguns; of the 18 wounded by guns since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.

  Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don't kill, people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murders committed in 1972 were committed with handguns.

  No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown's funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give them up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should.

1.The suggestion the author presents in the passage is that ________.

[  ]

A.handguns are the cause of violent crime

B.handguns are a dangerous weapon

C.American people's right to own and enjoy guns should be respected

D.only police officers should possess guns

2.In paragraph 1, the tone of the author is ________.

[  ]

A.calm
B.bitter
C.exciting
D.regretful

3.According to the author, which is true of handguns?

[  ]

A.They don't kill.

B.We should not allow people to own handguns.

C.Anyone can easily buy a handgun at a very high price.

D.Handguns can't be the cause of violent crime.

4.The passage is mainly aimed to ________.

[  ]

A.persuade the government

B.describe police officers' death

C.tell the robbers' means to kill policeman

D.explain means of people's possession of guns

  No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements.Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle(巧妙的)influence on us.In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses.

  Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing.An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong.These days, advertisers not only offer free samples but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well.They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money.Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way.

  During a radio program, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory.They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener.The response to this competition was tremendous.Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory.One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow.It weighed nearly 500 pounds.A little later, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car.All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed.The largest was 713 pounds.It seemed certain that this would win the prize.But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2400 pounds.It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients.It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry.The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated, for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24 000.

1.What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)

2.Why are we no longer free to choose the things we want?(Please answer within 10 words.)

  No one can believe that the over 6300-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.

  The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2000 years.It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC-206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years.But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.

  Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.

  The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties.Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrances.Rubbish is spread over the battlements.The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.

  It is necessary to protect the Great Wall.First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.
