Science, as we think, was born when the Greek philosopher ( 哲學(xué)家 ) Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) asked a difficult question: What makes up our universe?
No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物質(zhì) ) of the universe.
Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.
The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.
【小題1】Thales, the famous Greek philosopher, died when he was about _______________.

A．94 years oldB．106years old
C．40 years oldD．46 years old
【小題2】The meaning of the underlined word “complicated” in the last paragraph is “ ____________”.
A．not difficult B．not simpleC．not famousD．not different
【小題3】After reading the passage, we can be sure that________________.
A．nothing ever changes in the universe
B．Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was air
C．the universe is made up of four different substances
D．the early Greek thinkers did much valuable work for the progress of science

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星) . Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.

The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago.

Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.

"We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing," Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth."

"How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.

"For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive."

"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?"

"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned."

"Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?"

"Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盤旋) over the surface of Earth? We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there."

"Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer."

"If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?"

"Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(資金)." Profession. Zog replied.

1.According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about _____.

A. the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth

C. there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians

D. there is no air on the planet of Earth 

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ______. 

A. landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soon

B. Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollution

C. it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying  saucer on Earth at present

Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races and rates of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.

Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.

Researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.

African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.

Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."

1.Which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer?

A．Whites—Native Hawaiians

B．Africans—Americans—Latinos

C．Asians—Native Hawaiians

D．Africans—Americans—Native Hawaiians

2.Researchers agree that it is _____ that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.

A．the larger amount of smoking than white people

B．the living style or habit of the blacks

C．the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs

D．the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke

3.People in the new study are made up of _____.

A．heavy smokers in America                 B．the black and white people

C．the Asians and Hawaiians                  D．smokers and non-smokers

4.The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to _____.

A．explain different races react to some diseases differently

B．tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers

C．show a big step people have taken in the medicine area

D．support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers

Culture shock isn’t a clinical term or medical condition. It’s simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a new and different culture.

It’s natural to have difficulty adjusting to a new culture. People from other cultures may have grown up with values and beliefs that differ from yours. Because of these differences，the things they talk about，the ways they express themselves and the importance of various ideas may be very different from what you are used to. But the good news is that culture shock is temporary.

What causes culture shock?

To understand culture shock，it helps to understand what culture is. You may know that genes determine a big part of how you look and act. What you might not know is that your environment has a big effect on your appearance and behavior as well.

Your environment isn’t just the air you breathe and the food you eat，though；a big part of your environment is culture. Culture is made up of the common things that members of a community learn from family，friends，media，literature，and even strangers. These are the things that influence how you look，act，and communicate. Often，you don’t even know you are learning these things because they become second­nature to you－for instance，the way you shake hands with someone，the kind of things you find funny，or how you view religions.

The differences between cultures can make it very difficult to adjust to the new surroundings. When you go to a new place，such as a new country or even a new city，you often enter a culture that is different from the one you left. Sometimes your culture and the new culture are similar. Sometimes，they can be very different. What might be perfectly normal in one culture－for example，spending hours eating a meal with your family－might be unusual in a culture that values a more fast­paced lifestyle.

Culture 1.____________

Definition

?Culture shock is a kind of 2.__________people have when living in a new and different culture.

?Culture shock results from the difficulty people have in    

adjusting themselves to new surroundings.

?Culture shock is 3.____________.

4._____

?5.____________largely determine your appearance and behavior.

?Culture，an important part of 6.__________，has an influence on the

way people look，act and communicate.

?The differences between cultures contribute to the difficulty in getting used to new surroundings，as something 7.____________in one culture seems unusual in another.

Imagine that the genome （基因組） is a book．The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels．There are one billion words in the book, as long as 800 Bibles; if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me centuries; if I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube．This is a huge volume, a book of great length, but it all fits inside an extremely small cell nuclear（細(xì)胞核） that fits easily upon the head of a pin．

The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor．It is true to a great extent．A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings．So is a genome．The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right while some from right to left, but never both at the same time．

While English books are written in words of different lengthens using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in words of three-letter length, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules （分子）．

The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself．

1.How do human genomes read according to the passage?___________

A．Only from left to right．

B．Only from right to left．

C．From both directions at the same time．

D．From one direction at a time．

2.We can learn from the passage that the human genome ________．

A．is as long as the River Danube

B．can be easily placed on the head of a pin

C．is coded with an alphabet of four letters

D．is smart enough to read and take photos of itself

3.It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______．

A．specialists in the field

B．general readers

C．natural scientists

D．readers with professional knowledge

4.The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____．

A．to focus on the differences between the two

B．to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two

C．to simplify the concept of the human genome

D．to give an exact description of the human genome
