Albert Einstein (1879—1955)
Early Life
Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. He was an extraordinary person since he was born. Einstein wasn’t able to speak a word until three. He was always interested in things around and full of imagination. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers.
Schooling
Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in maths and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated (大学毕业) as a teacher of maths and physics in 1900.
Scientific Work
After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still worked hard on scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.
Later life
Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However, there was no answer.
Today, many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world.

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant.
It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next.

38. What’s the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2,…)

A. Nature is quite amazing. B. The life cycle of a butterfly is amazing.

Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant.
It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next.
36. What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Butterflies are a kind of insect. B. Butterflies are good at flying.
C. Butterflies have colourful wings. D. Butterflies have a good sense of smell.
37. What is the right order of the development of a butterfly?
①It becomes a pupa. ②It becomes a walking insect.
③Female butterflies lay an egg. ④It spreads wings and flies away.
A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④①
38. What’s the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
39. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Nature is quite amazing. B. The life cycle of a butterfly is amazing.
C. A butterfly has a short life. D. A butterfly is a beautiful insect.
40. Where can you probably find this text?
