第1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20题："Cool" is a word with many meanings. It s traditional meaning is used to 16 a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 17 , however, the word has expanded to 18 many different meanings. 
"Cool" can be used to express feelings of 19 in almost anything. 
When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can't help 20 , "It's cool." You might think, "He's so cool," when you see your 21 footballer. 
We all enlarge the meaning of "cool". You can use it 22 many words such as "new" or "amazing." Here's an interesting story we can see 23 illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 24 the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 25 , "It's so cool." 26 he thought it was 27 to describe 28 he saw and felt. 
 29 the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 30 "cool," some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 31 to improve our word strength to maintain some 32 .

第21、22、23、24、25题：A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论 ) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇 ) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. 
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统 ) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.   
36.In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____. 
A. personal experience B. wild weeds among good plants 
C. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices 
37. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? 
A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass 
B. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific 
C. The contemptuous (傲慢 ) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen 
D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student 
38. From this passage we can infer that ______. 
A. we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the college 
B. schools and books are not the only way to knowledge 
C. scientific discoveries late based on personal experience 
D. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a 
college student 
39. The author advises the college student to ______ . 
A. be contemptuous to the craftsman 
B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms 
C. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefully 
D. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection 
40. The main idea of this passage is about ________. 
A . what to learn from the parents B. how to gain knowledge 
C. why to learn from craftsman D. how to deal with experience

第46、47、48、49题：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 reson is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4 000 miles from the centre (in other words the radius(半径)of the earth is 4 000 miles). When we took the butter 4 000 miles out, it was 8 000 miles from the centre, which is twice the distance. 
If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases(减少)two times two. If you treble(翻三倍)the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three). If you take it four times as far away, it gets sixteen times weaker(four times four)and so on. 
69. The best title for this passage is. 
A、The Earth Weight 
B、Weight in Space 
C、Changing Weight on the Earth 
D、Weight on and off the Earth 
70. We can feel things are heavy because. 
A、weight is a fixed quality in an object 
B、they are far away from the centre of the earth 
C、of the earth's strong attraction for them 
D、they are not taken away from the surface of the earth 
71. If the distance between two objects is shortened by half, their gravitational attraction will. 
A、double 
B、become four times stronger 
C、be the same 
D、get four times weaker 
72. If an object weighed one pound 8 000 miles above the earth, it would weighon the surface of the earth. 
A、6 pounds 
B、4 pounds 
C、9 pounds 
D、1/9 pound
