1 .We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of "weight" as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth because_____
A it demands too great an effort for us to do so. B we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas. C we have proved that those ideas are correct. D we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth.
2 .The children don’t just plan any city. They map and analyze(分析) the housing,energy,and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect(建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week,they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations.“Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,”says the teacher who developed this program.“They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame,because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact,as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program,an elected ‘official’ and ‘planning group’ make all the design decisions for the model city,and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom _______.
A to find out kids’ creative ideas B to discuss with the teacher C to give children lectures D to help kids with their program
3 .But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next? To the oceans! All we’d have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is --- remove the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the world.According to the passage, sea-water can be turned into fresh water by_____
A heating it up. B treating it with chemicals. C taking salt out of it. D drying it up.
4 .Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation, according to Robert Bell, a scientist. And no more mobile phone transmitter towers(发射塔) should be built until the long-term health effects of the radiation they emit(放射) is scientifically evaluated, he said. "Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information," Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation. "If mobile phones are found to be dangerous, they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised," he said.According to Robert Bell, if mobile phones prove to be dangerous to people's health, _____.
A they should be banned immediately. B the use of them should be restricted. C all transmitter towers should be torn down. D a warning label should be attached.
5 .In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; Sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity______.
A when he is two. B when he is around four. C when he is six. D when he is eight.
7 .As far as astronomers(天文学家) can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Astronomers believe that matter in different parts of the universe
A obeys different laws. B obeys one common law. C obeys the same laws. D obeys no common law.
8 .On the other hand, on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon; but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth. This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth. The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it. A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own; but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon, or the earth, or the sun.We do not feel the gravitational pull of a packet of butter because
A it is too small to have a gravitational pull of its own. B its pull is so small that we tend to ignore it. C its pull disappears in the presence of the earth’s gravitation. D it tends to melt and loses its gravitational pull.
9 .The other side of a state legal apparatus is a state military apparatus. While the one protects the individual from violence, the other sacrifices the individual to violence in the interests of the state. In war the state affirms supreme power over the individuals within its own borders. War is not simply a trial by combat to settle disputes between states; it is the moment when the state makes its most powerful demands upon its people for their commitment, allegiance, and supreme sacrifice. The word “allegiance" is closest in meaning to ______.
A loyalty B objective C survival D motive
10 .In 1994, United States Customs seized 204,391 pounds of cocaine,559,286 pounds of marijuana and 2,577 pounds of heroin. Just how much actually flows into the country is anyone’s guess. Some Customs officials estimate that only 10 percent of the drugs coming into the country are ever seized. In Miami, the District Attorney(检察长) won’t even prosecute small fry. “It’s got to be over five kilos of cocaine, above a kilo of heroin and more than 5,000 pounds of marijuana or it’s not something that we’re going to stop the presses on,” says Tom Cash, a retired agent.Which of the following could best replace the expression “small fry” in the paragraph?
A Small dogs B Small sheep dogs C Small smugglers(走私者) D Small ringleaders(主谋)
