Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith (鐵匠) .There were four children in his family and,with his father often ill and unable to work,Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age. This meant little or no schooling. However,the family belonged to a religious group,and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday school.

When he was only 14 ,Faraday found a job as a bookbinder (裝訂工) .He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity. His interest soon took a practical path and he began making his own experiments. These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself. However,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.

One day,he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture by Humphry Davy. Determined to work for this great scientist,he sent Davy a job application (申請) including his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out. In 1813,Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants. Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognised as a very able chemist. Later,he went to work at the Royal Institute.

Michael Faraday was,perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century. As a chemist,he discovered the benzene,which is now the central point of chemical study. He also proved the relationship between electrical bonding. As a physicist,he invented the dynamo (發(fā)電機(jī)) ,which led to the later invention of the electric motor.

41. Why did Faraday attend Sunday school?

   A. He had to learn how to be a bookbinder.

   B. He would like to learn religious knowledge.

   C. He hoped to read many of the scientific books there.

   D. His family couldn’t afford his normal school education.

42. When working as a bookbinder,Faraday .

   A. published his great findings on electricity

   B. was famous as a practical scientist

   C. read many books lent by Humphry Davy

   D. made equipment for his experiments on his own

43. In order to get a chance to work for Davy,Faraday .

   A. sent his experiment reports to Davy

   B. offered to do laboratory work for free

   C. bought tickets to attend Davy's lecture

   D. went to the Royal Institute to visit Davy

44. We can learn from the last paragraph that.

   A. the electric motor was invented by Faraday

   B. electricity was Faraday's best-known finding

   C. Faraday's research covered different fields

   D. Faraday was more a chemist than a physicist

45. What would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Michael Faraday,a Great Scientist

   B. The Contribution of Michael Faraday

   C. Michael Faraday,a Born Bookbinder

   D. The Sufferings of Michael Faraday

41. D解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句至第四句可知,F(xiàn)araday年幼時家境貧 寒,上不起正規(guī)的學(xué)校,只好上了主H 學(xué)校。

42. D解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù) 第二、三句可知,F(xiàn)araday做圖書裝訂工作 的時候,為自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)親ft動手制作實(shí)驗(yàn) 器材。

43. A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二 句可知,為了能為Davy T.作,F(xiàn)araday遞 交了自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)報告。

44. C解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段介 紹Faraday在物理、化學(xué)領(lǐng)域的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造 可推知,F(xiàn)amday在不同領(lǐng)域都有研究。

45. A解析:標(biāo)題概括題。文章主要介紹了 Michael Faraday如何成長為一名偉大的 科學(xué)家(物理學(xué)家及化學(xué)家) 以及他在物理 和化學(xué)領(lǐng)域取得的研究成果,因此A項作 標(biāo)題最合適。

第三部分閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

Russian police have launched a novel attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having stripe-painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia's notoriously careless drivers.

The light grey horses,painted with black stripes,carried signs on their backs reading: Careful,children are on their way to school. The police dispatched (派遣) the fake zebras to several different locations in the Russian capital,where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out flyers to passing drivers.

Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from rain,footage aired on television showed.

Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country5s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians,and a third of those occur on crossings,according to traffic police figures published last month.

In the first six months of this year,378 people were killed and more than 6 ,600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia,according to police. In Moscow alone,43 people were killed,including two children. Though police officials said that only safe paints would be used on the animals,animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea,accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.

“Children understand that paints are bad for animals: they can cause internal swelling”’ the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.

41. Why do Moscow police have stripe-painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets?

   A. Tb raise people's awareness of protecting animals.

   B. Tb inform people zebras are in danger of extinction.

   C. To make drivers better aware of road safety.

   D. To tell people it is dangerous to cross the streets.

42. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

   A. The zebras. B. The horses.

   C. The policemen. D. The drivers.

43. From the passage we can see that .

   A. most of the Russian drivers are careless

   B. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad

   C. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights

   D. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians

44. According to the police,pedestrian crossings.

   A. are where people can cross the streets safely

   B. offer animals the best place to cross the streets

   C. are not safe for people to cross the streets

   D. are the most dangerous place for people to cross the streets

45. What do animal rights activists think?

   A. Road safety should be improved.

   B. Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.

   C. The paints used on the horses are safe.

   D. These animals are badly treated by the police.
