A
Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics”．
Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a million­dollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense，” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.
When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren’t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”
When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important，” Greene said. “But I think it’s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”
Greene has followed Albert Einstein’s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam”. It’s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) — and having fun!

3
A．direct　　　　　　　 B．long
C．personal D．difficult

Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s, he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball­making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use, he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.
He was sure there was a market for his machine, but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks, but he believed in his idea, and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer (制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for a share in the profits (收益), local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend’s daughter helped him out with his first sales.
But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel (频道) to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes, they had sold more than 4,000 units.
4
This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth, and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it’s till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.
25．Working in the restaurant, Peter ________.
A．was chosen to be the manager
B．broke a meatball­making machine
C．found a chance to make money
D．was poor at making meatballs by hand
26．Which of the following helped Peter’s business take off?
A．A local shop.
B．A friend’s daughter.
C．A TV shopping channel.
A local manufacturer.
27．What’s the right order to describe Peter’s life?
A．Dish washer→teacher→inventor→businessman
B．.Teacher→dish washer→inventor→businessman.
C．Businessman→dish washer→inventor→teacher.
D．Inventor→businessman→dish washer→teacher.
28．What can we learn from the story?
A．Where there is a will, there is a way.
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．Better late than never.
D．In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

Oil and gas have made Qatar (卡塔尔) the richest country in the world — rich enough to be ready to spend D|S200 billion for the World has limitless wealth brought the country happiness?
“We have become urban，”says Dr Kaltham Al Ghanim, a professor at Qatar University. “Our social and economic life has changed — families have become separated; consumption culture has taken over.”
From desperate poverty less than a century ago, this, after all, has become the richest nation in the world. What’s less well understood is the influence of such rapid change on Qatari society itself. You can feel the pressure in Doha, the capital city of Qatar. The city is a building site, with whole districts either under construction or being destroyed for redevelopment. The local media report that 40% of Qatari marriages now end in divorce. More than two­thirds of Qataris, adults and children, are overweight.
4
Qataris benefit from free education, free healthcare, job guarantees, even free water and electricity, but abundance has created its own problems. “It’s confusing for graduates to be faced with 20 job offers，” one academic at an American university campus in Qatar says. “People feel huge pressure to make the right decision.”
In a society where Qataris are outnumbered roughly seven­to­one by foreigners, long­term residents (居民) speak of a growing frustration among graduates that the most satisfying jobs go to foreigners.
The sense is deepening that, in the rush for development, something important has been lost. Qatari family life is atomising. With children almost universally being raised by nannies (保姆) from the Philippines, Nepal or Indonesia, differences in culture and opinions are widening between the generations.
The football World Cup will be held in Qatar. Mariam Dahrouj, a journalism graduate, speaks of a sense of threat. “People in Qatar are afraid，” she says. “Suddenly all the world wants to see us. We are a closed community, and they want to come and bring their differences. How can we express our values？”
29．What can we learn about Qatar?
A．Its capital is neat and modern.
B．Great wealth brings Qataris great happiness.
C．Most Qataris are rich and healthy.
D．It’s experiencing great changes.
30．What’s young graduates’ problem in Qatar?
A．They have difficulty in making a choice.
B．They can hardly find an interesting job.
C．They have to work with foreigners.
D．They have become lazy because of abundance.
31．The underlined word “atomising” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A．losing meaning B．becoming divided
C．being improved D．gaining support
5
32．Facing the outside world, Qataris ________.
A．ignore the differences B．express no interest
C．feel frightened D．want to adjust their values
D
Sir John Gurdon, a British scientist, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in , said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years, and that “maybe the same answer is appropriate” for the step to human cloning. Parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone “copies” to replace them then.
Although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues, the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful. Cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of Louise Brown, the first “test­tube baby”. He said, “When my first frog experiments were done, an American reporter asked how long it would be before these things could be done in mammals or humans. I said, ’Well, it could be anytime between 10 years and 100 years — how about 50 years？’ It turned out that it wasn’t far off the mark as far as Dolly was concerned. Maybe the same answer is appropriate.” Sir John added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical twin, and doctors would therefore simply be “copying what nature has already produced”．
The average vote on allowing parents of deceased children, who are no longer fertile (能生育旳), to create another by using the mother’s eggs and skin cells from the first child, thinking the technique was safe and effective, is 60 percent in favor. The reasons for “no” are usually that the new children would feel they are some sort of replacements for something.
33．Sir John predicted the human cloning would be a reality in ________ at most.
A．about 100 years　　　 B．about 50 years
C． about 60 years D．about 10 years
34．According to the text, which statement is NOT true?
A．Human cloning is creating something that didn’t exist before.
B．Human cloning is still a controversial topic.
C．Sir John is positive about the future of human cloning.
6
D．Louise Brown is the first “test­tube baby”．
35．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．most people cast doubt on John’s experiments
B．human cloning is and will be only a dream
C．human cloning may be realized someday
D．few children love to be cloned in the future
