3. — How is the man injured in the earthquake?
— The doctor said if ________ in a proper way, he was likely to be saved.
A. treated B. treating C. is treated D. be treated
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意:——在地震中受伤的那个人伤势如何?——医生说,如果治疗得当,他很可能会得救。分析句子结构可知此处使用了状语从句的省略,he与treat之间为被动关系,完整表达形式应为if he was treated in a proper way,主句主语与从句主语一致,且从句谓语部分含有be动词,可省略从句中的主语和be动词,故选择A项。
4. Though ________ to see us, the professor gave us a warm welcome.
A. surprise B. was surprised C. surprised D. being surprised
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意为:虽然见到我们使教授很吃惊,但是还是热情欢迎了我们。根据空格前的though和选项可知,该题是考查状语从句的省略,though引导的让步状语从句补全后应该是:Though the professor was surprised to see us, the professor gave us a warm welcome。该句子从句的主语和主句的主语一致,且从句中有be动词was,符合状语从句省略的条件,可以把从句的主语和be动词省略掉。故选C。
5. The father along with his children ______ solving word puzzles.
A. are like B. is like C. like D. likes
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:父亲还有孩子们都喜欢猜字谜游戏。根据句意可知,like在句中作谓语动词,意为“喜欢”,排除AB项中介词用法;又因当主语后有with、along with 、together with等修饰语时,谓语动词要和最前面主语保持一致,句中谓语动词like应与主语father保持人称和数的一致,用第三人称单数形式likes。故选D。
6. ________ from errors and what went wrong in the previous research studies will go a long way to ________ for excellence.
A. Learning... someone struggling B. To learn... being struggled
C. To learn... someone being struggled D. Learning... struggling
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:从错误中和在之前的研究中出错的地方吸取教训,对于追求卓越的人来说将有很大的帮助。句子主语是“_________ from errors and what went wrong in the previous research studies”,动词learn应该用动名词形式learning,句首单词,首字母大写;用someone作介词to的宾语,struggle“奋斗”与逻辑主语someone之间是主动关系,故要用现在分词形式struggling,作后置定语。故选A。
7. _________ hard at your lessons, you will be admitted into a key university.
A. Work B. To work C. Working D. Worked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:努力学你的功课,你将被允许进入一所重点大学。根据句子结构可知,此处应填非谓语动词。句子的逻辑主语与work是主谓关系,故用现在分词,作状语,故选C。
8. On hearing the news, the girl rushed out without hesitation, ______ the luggage ______ on the floor, and ______in the dark.
A. left, lied, disappeared B. leaving, lying, disappeared
C. leaving, lie, disappeared D. left, lay, disappear
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词和时态。句意:一听见这个消息,那个女孩毫不犹豫地冲出去了,把行李留在地板上,消失在黑暗里。第一空现在分词leaving表示意料之中的结果;第二空lie与逻辑主语luggage构成主动关系,故使用现在分词形式作宾补。第三空的disappear与rushed构成并列谓语结构,disappear用一般过去时。故B正确。
9. ________, we are better off and live a more convenient life.
A. With the economy develops fast
B. With the economy developing fast
C. As the economy developing fast
D. As the economy develop fast
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查with的复合结构。句意:经济迅速发展,我们富有了,生活也更方便了。根据句子结构,此处作时间状语,可用介词with或连词as引导:with the economy developing fast或as the economy develops fast。with为介词,后面接复合结构,非谓语动词develop与the economy构成主动关系,develop用现在分词形式。故选B项。
10. ____ a letter from her parents, Lily is now looking forward to ___ from them.
A. Having not received; hear B. Not received; hear
C. Not having received; hearing D. Receiving not; hearing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查分词作状语和动名词用法。句意:没有收到父母的来信,Lily现在期待着能够收到父母的来信。第一空中的动词receive与句子主语Lily构成主动关系,故使用现在分词的形式作状语,因为没有收到来信是在谓语动词之前就发生的事情,所以使用完成式,否定式是在前面直接加not;look forward to“渴望”,是固定短语,第二空前的to是介词,后面要接动名词的形式。故选C项。
第三部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860~1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907~1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930~present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913~2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
11. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work.
B. Her lack of proper training in law.
C. Her efforts to win a prize.
D. Her community background.
12. What is the reason for O’Connor’s not being accepted by the law firm?
A. The poor financial conditions.
B. The discrimination against women.
C. Her little work experience in court.
D. Her lack of proper training in law.
13. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A. They are pioneers.
B. They are truly creative.
C. They are highly educated.
D. They are peace-lovers.
【答案】11. A 12. B 13. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四位伟大的女性:Jane Addams, Rachel Carson, Sandra Day O’Connor, Rosa Parks的具体贡献及影响。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jane Addams (1860~1935)部分中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.”可知,任何接受过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。由此可知,Jane Addams在历史上主要以她的社会工作而出名。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor (1930~present)部分中的“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.”可知,1952年, Sandra Day O’connor在斯坦福大学法学院以全班第三名的成绩毕业时,因为是女性,她在律师事务所找不到工作。由此可知,O’connor没有被律师事务所接受的原因是对女性的歧视。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,Jane Addams是第一个获诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性;Rachel Carson的作品Silent Spring 提高了人们对污染的危险性和化学物质对人类和环境的危害性的认识;Sandra Day O’Connor是美国首位联邦最高法院女法官;Rosa Parks的行为拉开了民权运动的序幕。由此推知,文中提到的四名女性都是先驱者。故选A。
B
One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn’t going anywhere as well.Was she waiting for the bus? Did mall (商场) buses come this early when the stores wouldn’t be open for hours? As I drove by, I heard a voice say, “Give her a bottle of water.”
“She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It’s just a bottle of water!”
So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself? I once wavered between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.
There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don’t want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.
14. What did the author think of the woman sitting alone at the beginning?
A. The author was short of sleep. B. The author was full of curiosity.
C. The author was a little strange. D. The author was out of work.
15. Why did the author drive by the woman over and over again?
A. To improve the terribly poor driving skills.
B. To consider whether to help her.
C. To search for a parking space.
D. To observe the poor woman.
16. What does the underlined word “wavered” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Decided. B. Disagreed. C. Balanced. D. Objected.
17. What can we learn from the text?
A. Love breaks down racial barriers.
B. The wealth of life is action.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. The best act to love is taking action.
【答案】14. B 15. B 16. C 17. D

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It’s just a bottle of water! (她看起来像在睡觉。我为什么要叫醒她?我怎么了?做正确的事有什么困难?只是一瓶水! )”可推断,作者一次又一次地开车经过那个女人是要判定是否帮助她。故选B。
【16题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后句“All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened. (我所能确定的是,当我在公共汽车站走向那个女人时,奇迹发生了。)”可知,转折曾经在帮助她和忽视她之间摇摆不定。所以waved可能的意思是“平衡”。A. Hesitated犹豫;B. Disagreed不同意;C. Balanced平衡;D. Objected反对。故选C。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Maybe we don’t want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives. (那天,我学会了当被问到爱是如何回答的,以及爱是如何给予和接受的。)”及全文可知,文章讲述了作者帮助独自坐在公共汽车站女人的过程中的感悟——爱的最好方式就是行动。从而推断,我们能从文章中学到爱的最好方式就是行动。故选D。
C
What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
18. What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A. To show time and space are connected.
B. To show people’s interest in time travel.
C. To draw readers’ attention to time travel.
D. To make people believe time travel is possible.
19. Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with?
A. Time travel is possible in the future.
B. People can’t move faster than light.
C. Time travel is against scientific rules.
D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
20. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A. The first science fiction story.
B. Some tools used in time travel.
C. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.
D. Different works about time travel.
21. What is the writer’s attitude toward time travel?
A. cautious. B. pessimistic
C. sceptical D. optimistic.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. D 21. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕时光旅行是否会成为可能这一主题展开,并列举了一些著名科学家对待这一问题的看法。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?”(如果我们有能力控制时间,而不是从过去到现在再到未来呢?如果我们能在一台机器里跳跃、循环和穿越时间呢?如果我们可以随时随地去呢)可推知,文章首段以各种与时光旅行相关的提问开头,意在引起读者对时光旅行的关注和兴趣。故选C项。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel.”(爱因斯坦提出了两种观点,这两种观点引起了关于时间旅行可能性的理论)可知,爱因斯坦认为时光旅行在未来是有可能的。故选A项。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段的“The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.”(第一部这种主题的科幻小说是1881年出版的Edward P. Mitchell的《倒转的钟》。从那时起,成千上万的书籍、电影和电视节目都在探索时间旅行的概念,其中的一些工具,如电话、手表、照片和旧书,带着旅行者们来回穿梭)可知,本段主要讲述了关于时光旅行不同作品。故选D项。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.”(时间旅行会发生吗?谁知道呢?最重要的是睁大眼睛并有一种奇迹感)可推知,作者对时光旅行持乐观的态度。故选D项。
D
Time flies, but the tracks of time remain in books and museums. This is what made a recent tragedy in Brazil even more terrible.
On Sept.2, a big fire ripped through the National Museum of Brazil. “ Two hundred years of work, research and knowledge were lost, ” Brazilian President Michel Temer wrote on Twitter after the fire. “It's a sad day for all Brazilians.”
Most of the 20 million pieces of history are believed to have been destroyed. Only as little as 10 percent of the collection may have survived Time reported. Among all the items, there were Egyptian mummies, the bones of uniquely Brazilian creatures such as the long-necked dinosaur Maxakalisaurus, and an 11,500-year-old skull called Luzia, which was considered one of South America's oldest human fossils.
Besides these, Brazil's indigenous(本土的,土著的) knowledge also suffered. The museum housed world-famous collections of indigenous objects, as well as many audio recordings of local languages from all over Brazil. Some of these recordings, now lost, were of languages that are no longer spoken.
“The tragedy this Sunday is a sort of national suicide, a crime against our past and future generations,” Bernard Mello Franco, one of Brazil's best-known columnists, wrote on the O Globo newspaper site.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, as BBC News reported on Sept. 3. After the fire burned out, crowds protested outside the museum to show their anger at the loss of the irreplaceable items of historical value.
According to Emilio Bruna, an ecologist at the University of Florida, museums are living, breathing stores of who we are and where we've come from, and the world around us.
Just as underwater grass floats on the surface if it loses its roots, a nation is lost without its memories. The fire at the National Museum of Brazil teaches the world an important lesson: We should never neglect history.
22. What can be summarized as the main idea of the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?
A. Long history of South America. B. Remains from the fire.
C. Mysteries to be solved. D. History and knowledge burned up.
23. What opinion may be shared by Bernard Mello Franco and the protesters?
A. The government is to blame for the tragedy.
B. The museum should be rebuilt
C. The loss can't be made up for.
D. The criminal should be sentenced to death.
24. What does Emilio Bruna compare museums to?
A. Living stores of our past. B. Underwater grass.
C. The oldest fossils. D. National suicide.
25. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Death of a civilization B. Functions of museums
C. Gone with the fire D. Brazilians' memories
【答案】22. D 23. C 24. A 25. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,巴西博物馆在一场大火中几乎化为灰烬,很多历史文物都被烧毁了,包括一些巴西本土的文物,相关的历史知识也就此失去。很多人对此表示了惋惜之情。
【22题详解】
段落大意题。根据这两段的第一句“Most of the 20 million pieces of history are believed to have been destroyed. Only as little as 10 percent of the collection may have survived, Time reported.
….Besides these, Brazil's indigenous knowledge also suffered.”可知在这次火灾里很多历史文物都被烧毁了,包括一些巴西本土的文物,相关的历史知识也就此失去。故D项正确。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“After the fire burned out, crowds protested outside the museum to show their anger at the loss of the irreplaceable items of historical value” 当大火烧完以后,愤怒的人群聚集在博物馆的外面举行抗议,这是因为人们认为在大火中失去的这些文物和历史知识是无法取代的。故C项正确。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两段“According to Emilio Bruna, an ecologist at the University of Florida, museums are living, breathing stores of who we are and where we've come from, and the world around us. Just as underwater grass floats on the surface if it loses its roots, a nation is lost without its memories”可知Emilio Bruna认为博物馆让人们了解人们来自何处,让人们了解周围的世界,如果没有了人们对过去的回忆,国家也就是失去了根。博物馆记录人类对过去的记忆,这也正是巴西人对于失去博物馆非常愤怒的原因。故A项正确。
【25题详解】
标题归纳题。本文是一篇记叙文,巴西博物馆在一场大火中几乎化为灰烬,很多历史文物都被烧毁了,包括一些巴西本土的文物,相关的历史知识也就此失去。很多人对此表示了惋惜之情。C项“Gone with the fire”意为“随大火而去”,与文章中心思想一致。故现在C项。
【点睛】本文小题4考查了主旨大意题这的标题选择,在D项里运用了以偏概全的干扰答案选项设置方法。文章第一段的确提到博物馆是人们记忆所在的地方,但是这并不是文章的中心思想,文章主要讲述巴西博物馆发生火灾,很多文物被毁掉了。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时,往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周,以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆,往往是文章直接表述的结论;深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在美国快餐店的特点以及快餐店受欢迎的原因。
【26题详解】
由第一句话“The favorite food in the United States is the hamburger, a kind of round sandwich of cooked beef.(在美国最受欢迎的食物是汉堡包,一种煮熟的牛肉做成的圆形三明治。)”可知,选项承接上文说明买汉堡的地点,E项“The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant.(买汉堡包最喜欢的地方是快餐店。)”符合语境。故选E项。
【27题详解】
由空格后的句子“Most of them sell hamburgers, French fries and milkshakes, which are traditionally popular foods among Americans.(他们大多出售汉堡包、炸薯条和奶昔,这些都是美国人传统上喜爱的食物。)”可知下一句中的most of them指的是快餐店,而该段讲的是快餐店的多样性。故G项“There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States (美国有很多种快餐店)”可以作为主题句放在该段的段首。故选G项。
【28题详解】
空格前的句子“Fast food restaurants are popular.”提到快餐店受欢迎,下面一段讲的是快餐店受欢迎的原因与人们的生活方式有关。所以空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子。而C选项“In fact, they reflect American life style. (事实上,它们反映了美国的生活方式)”正好符合题意。故选C项。
【29题详解】
由空格后的句子“People who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their own food or waiting while someone else prepares it.(忙碌的人不想花时间准备自己的食物或等待其他人准备食物)”可知,这里讲的是快餐受欢迎的其中一个原因。由前面的first,下面的finally可知,该句应该是列举的快餐受欢迎的第二个原因。故A选项“Second, they are fast.(其次,他们很快)”符合题意。故选A项。
【30题详解】
由“Finally, most food in a fast food restaurant is not expensive.(最后,快餐店许多食物都不贵)”可知,选项承接上文,说明上文导致的结果。故F选项“因此,人们可以负担得起经常在快餐店吃饭。”切题。故选F项。

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860~1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907~1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930~present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913~2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn’t going anywhere as well.Was she waiting for the bus? Did mall (商场) buses come this early when the stores wouldn’t be open for hours? As I drove by, I heard a voice say, “Give her a bottle of water.”
“She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It’s just a bottle of water!”
So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself? I once wavered between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.
There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don’t want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

A The author was short of sleep. B. The author was full of curiosity.

17. What can we learn from the text?

B. The wealth of life is action.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. The best act to love is taking action.
C
What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
18. What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A. To show time and space are connected.
B. To show people’s interest in time travel.
C. To draw readers’ attention to time travel.
D. To make people believe time travel is possible.
19. Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with?
A. Time travel is possible in the future.
B. People can’t move faster than light.
C. Time travel is against scientific rules.
D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
20. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A. The first science fiction story.
B. Some tools used in time travel.
C. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.
D. Different works about time travel.
21. What is the writer’s attitude toward time travel?
A. cautious. B. pessimistic
C. sceptical D. optimistic.
D
Time flies, but the tracks of time remain in books and museums. This is what made a recent tragedy in Brazil even more terrible.
On Sept.2, a big fire ripped through the National Museum of Brazil. “ Two hundred years of work, research and knowledge were lost, ” Brazilian President Michel Temer wrote on Twitter after the fire. “It's a sad day for all Brazilians.”
Most of the 20 million pieces of history are believed to have been destroyed. Only as little as 10 percent of the collection may have survived, Time reported. Among all the items, there were Egyptian mummies, the bones of uniquely Brazilian creatures such as the long-necked dinosaur Maxakalisaurus, and an 11,500-year-old skull called Luzia, which was considered one of South America's oldest human fossils.
Besides these, Brazil's indigenous(本土的,土著的) knowledge also suffered. The museum housed world-famous collections of indigenous objects, as well as many audio recordings of local languages from all over Brazil. Some of these recordings, now lost, were of languages that are no longer spoken.
“The tragedy this Sunday is a sort of national suicide, a crime against our past and future generations,” Bernard Mello Franco, one of Brazil's best-known columnists, wrote on the O Globo newspaper site.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, as BBC News reported on Sept. 3. After the fire burned out, crowds protested outside the museum to show their anger at the loss of the irreplaceable items of historical value.
According to Emilio Bruna, an ecologist at the University of Florida, museums are living, breathing stores of who we are and where we've come from, and the world around us.
Just as underwater grass floats on the surface if it loses its roots, a nation is lost without its memories. The fire at the National Museum of Brazil teaches the world an important lesson: We should never neglect history.
22. What can be summarized as the main idea of the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?
A. Long history of South America. B. Remains from the fire.
C. Mysteries to be solved. D. History and knowledge burned up.
23. What opinion may be shared by Bernard Mello Franco and the protesters?
A. The government is to blame for the tragedy.
B. The museum should be rebuilt
C. The loss can't be made up for.
D. The criminal should be sentenced to death.
24. What does Emilio Bruna compare museums to?
A. Living stores of our past. B. Underwater grass.
C. The oldest fossils. D. National suicide.
25. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Death of a civilization B. Functions of museums
C. Gone with the fire D. Brazilians' memories
