    Weight on and off the Earth 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. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space?The reason is this:all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects;this is called gravitational attraction.But this power of attraction between two obects gets weaker as they get farther apart.When the butter was at the surface of the earth,it was 4,000 miles from the center.When we took the butter 4,000 miles out,it was 8,000 miles from the center,which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects,their gravitational attraction decreases two times two.If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three)and so on. So this is one of the first things we need to remember that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon?At the distance the puii of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface,so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. 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.

    According to the passage,"weight"should be understood in the sense that
    A:it is fixed if it is outside the earth's gravitational puli
    B:it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earth's center
    C:it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between two objects
    D:things increase in amount as they are closer to the earth's surface

    答案:C
    解析:
    第一段最后一句表明,1磅重的黄油在离地球表面4000英里处重达0.25磅,第二段第一句也表明在4000英里高空处的物体重量仅为其在地球表面的重量的1/4。由此可推算出,4磅重的茶叶在离地球表面4000英里处重达1磅。
    第一段第一句表明,我们之所以不能打破固有思维,是因为我们已经习惯了地球上的生活,也就是说,我们正是因为太过熟悉地球上的事物,才没有去质疑这些固有思维。
    第一段第二句表明,物体的重量并非固定不变。第二段解释说,物体的重量源于物体间的引力。也就是说,物体的重量随着物体间引力的改变而改变。
    最后一段第三句说明一个物体产生的引力与物体本身的重量有关。最后一段第四句又表明由于本身重量较小,一包黄油产生的引力很有限,相对于月球、地球、太阳等产生的强劲引力来说,比较容易被我们忽略。
    本篇文章通篇讲的是重量是由引力产生的,并进一步阐述了物体间引力的变化、物体本身的重量,以及物体间的距离这三者之间的关系,主要讲的还是引力对重量的作用。

    People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

    C

    People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

    D

  • 第9题:

    问答题
    Practice 4  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.  A sense of happiness and fulfillment, not personal gain, is the best motivation and reward for one’s achievements. Expecting a reward of wealth or recognition for achieving a goal can lead to disappointment and frustration. If we want to be happy in what we do in life, we should not seek achievement for the sake of winning wealth and fame. The personal satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward.  Assignment: Are people motivated to achieve by personal satisfaction rather than by money or fame? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    People are motivated by anything with which they equate the increasing of personal satisfaction, and this includes the incentives: money and fame. It would be a great oversight to assume that the two are substitutes for personal satisfaction, but fortune and glory need not be mutually exclusive from individual contentment. Rather, each person possesses a unique standard for achievement; some may strive to succeed in order to gain recognition, or to amass wealth, while others perform accomplishments in order to help the poor or needy, or to give back to society. Regardless of what the motivation is, every human action is aimed at increasing personal satisfaction.
    According to the prompt, one ought to seek contentment through achievements without expecting external benefits or recognition, but this theory does not acknowledge the fact that many people in modern (and in past) societies associate fulfillment with the acquirement of material goods and prominence. Materialism and narcissism are behaviors that, when pervasive throughout a society, may erode social fabric and the spirit of humanity in communities. But the desire to achieve success so as to gain riches or fame does not necessarily need to be destructive, nor detrimental to the general population.
    Take for example, Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, billionaire, reality-TV star, twice- divorced family man, published author, and many more titles. He began his career as a real estate developer in his father’s company after graduating from the Wharton School of Business, and successfully created a legacy that his son and daughter are continuing. Trump has been a billionaire since 2007, and his role on the reality TV show “The Apprentice” has increased his fame around the world. In his interviews and publications, Trump gives no indication of regretting his pursuit of fortune and glory, nor does he show any sign of slowing down the growth of the Trump empire. Contrary to what the prompt indicates, personal satisfaction may be intimately tied to the achievement of financial surplus and prestige. That is, thousands of people are motivated by money and fame, but for some, personal satisfaction is unattainable without the two because they believe that their happiness will be derived from reputation or treasure.
    History is ripe with examples of every kind of motivator—fame, wealth, knowledge, peace, love, safety, etc. Alexander the Great pursued fame and power, President Roosevelt advocated international peace and domestic prosperity and Mother Theresa worked to improve children’s lives. But as Aristotle explained his Ethics, the pursuit of the “good” is wide and varied. Each man may believe that how he lives is the right path to achieving personal happiness. The banker believes he needs money to be happy, while the teacher finds disseminating knowledge to be fulfilling. Regardless of whether a path is correct or wrong, every person is motivated by the common factor of personal satisfaction.

    Passage Three

    Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one's old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.

    In many modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider "low" work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.

    But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework.

    In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work, or to scorn someone else's. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.

    44. Education is______.

    A. a purpose

    B. a means

    C. fashionable

    D. the first system


    正确答案:B
    44.答案为B  此题为细节题。本文主要探讨教育问题。第一句就是主题句,给出了教育的定义。所以答案在第一段的第一句:Education is not an endbut a means to an end

    The Cold Places
    The Arctic is a polar region.It surrounds the North Pole.
    Like Antarctica,the Arctic is a land of ice and snow.Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading-125 degrees
    Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in both the Arctic and Antarctica.Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic .At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.
    One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic .This one thing is the low temperature-the killing chill of far North and the polar South.
    To survive,men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters .They must keep heaters going at all times.Not ever for a moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperatures.
    Men have a way of providing for themselves.Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs .The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
    What about animals?Can they survive?Do we find plants?Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica?Yes,we do. There is life in the oceans.There is life on land.
    Antarctica,as we have seen,is a cold place indeed.But this has not always been the case.
    Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have much like our own.
    Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests.Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.

    The Arctic and Antarctica are no man's lands because of their notorious coldness.

    300 Hurdles Now comes the first hurdle. __1__ We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes. Those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I can’t make it over, I’m too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race". This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it. The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. __2__ This happens a lot in life too. There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can’t make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that "hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race. Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No I can't do this." __3__. Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we fell like have been though enough and there’s no hope. __4__ It's one step close to the end of the race. Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."__5__. __4__内应选()
    A

    This hurdle the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running.

    B

    Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.

    C

    All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.

    D

    That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.

    E

    These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can’t go on.

    F

    Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.

    解析: 本段作者介绍了比赛中的最后一个栏,它象征着我们生命中最棘手的境遇。因此填空处应填入表示“最后一个栏”、“最艰难环境”等内容。选项D符合此意。答案为D。

    From the passage, we can infer (推断) ______.
    A

    Anne was born in Germany

    B

    Anne was a Jew

    C

    Anne’s father collected the diaries

    D

    Anne was a Nazi


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    由原文第二段中的“Because the German Nazis hated the Jews and wanted to kill them,her family had to move to another country”可推断出Anne是犹太人。A项、C项分别在原文第二段和第三段中直接给出,不需要推断,故应排除。D项与文意不符。因此应选B项。
