He doesn’t accept ideas which are not 37 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority(權(quán)威)as the only 38 for truth. He always 39 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them. The rise of 40 science may perhaps be considered to 41 as far back as the 42 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher(哲學家)of Oxford, who lived 43 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the middle 44 to suggest that we must learn science 45 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 46 many important discoveries. Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later(1564～1642), was the greatest of several great men 47 lived in Italy. France, Germany, or England began by 48 to show how many important 49 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 50 towards the earth than small ones, 51 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 52 of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 53 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo’s 54 of going direct to nature, and proving out 55 and theories by experiment that has led to all the discoveries of modern science. 36. A. use B. time C. speed D. trust 37.

The new system is designed to give warnings seconds before an earthquake strikes. That may not sound like very long. However, it could give people time to get under a table or take shelter someplace safe. The flow of electric power or gas could be cut off. Air traffic controllers could warn away pilots. Even so-called “smart buildings” could be designed to get ready. The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments deployed across the Los Angeles area. Southern California has more than 150 seismic(地震的)stations that measure movements within the ground. The information they collect is sent to a high-speed computer. An earthquake shakes the ground with two kinds of waves. The new system uses information from a low-energy wave that moves quickly but causes little damage. Experts call this the P-wave. The slower but stronger S-wave is the main threat to life and property. Japan has a system based on P-waves. There, the warnings are used to slow down high-speed bullet trains. Other countries have warning systems that measure S-waves. The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds. The scientists are still testing their proposed system in the Los Angeles area. Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education. 56. Which of the following is TRUE about the new earthquake warning system? A. It can give people enough time to run away from earthquakes. B. It can give people seconds to take immediate measures. C. It is developed in Japan. D. It is a system based on S-waves. 57. Which of the following can benefit from the new system most? A. Areas far away from the center of the earthquake. B. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake. C. The Los Angeles area. D. High-speed bullet trains. 58. From what Professor Allen notes in the last paragraph we can infer that ______ . A. it’s very important for people to become educated B. it’s very important to warn people before an earthquake starts C. it’s very important for people to know about earthquakes D. it’s very important for people to know about the new system 59. What do we learn from the passage? A. People could cut off electric power or gas immediately after the new system gives a warning. B. A low-energy wave may move slowly and cause little damage. C. Japan has a warning system based on S-waves to slow down bullet trains. D. The new system has been employed in warning of major earthquakes all over the United States. 60. What’s the best title for the passage? A. A New Earthquake Warning System B. Earthquakes Caused by Different Kinds of Waves C. Warning Systems in Different Countries D. The Principle of a New Warning System (B) For most of us, the rain that falls on our roof runs off into the ground or the sewer(下水道)system. But if you want to save a little water and reuse it on your lawns(草坪)or plants—or even use it for laundry, dishes, or other needs—collecting rainwater from your gutters’ downspouts(檐槽的水落管)is a no-brainer. According to John C. Davis, writing in E/The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that the roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2, 000-square-foot roof produces some 1, 200 gallons of water, you can harvest enough to water your lawn or garden. Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with substances that can hold back plant growth. Using rainwater can also extend the life of pipes, since the salts added to tap water may gradually damage the pipes. However, homeowners should set up a water purification(凈化)system if they do plan to use rainwater for inside needs. Rainwater harvesting can also be good for the local community, as it reduces the erosion, flooding, and pollution associated with heavy rainfall, and reduces dependence on public water supplies. So some states fund rainwater collection systems in their local communities. Many varieties of rain barrel(桶)systems, starting at just $100, are available for home use. A typical setup is simply a rain barrel positioned under a gutter’s downspout. Skillful homeowners can make their own water harvesting systems, but buying one is a lot easier. Most garden centers offer a range of choices as well as tips. 61. The underlined word “no-brainer” in Paragraph 1 probably means something that ______ . A. is very easy B. is hard to deal with C. deserves more attention D. is of no real value 62. Compared with rainwater, tap water ______ . A. contains less salts B. is better for plant growth C. is more likely to damage the pipes D. can make the life of the pipes last longer 63. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. heavy rainfall B. water purification system C. rainwater harvesting D. local community 64. From Paragraph 3, we can learn ______ . A. how to set up a water harvesting system B. how a rain barrel system works C. some advice on saving tap water D. the benefits of using rainwater 65. What is the topic of the passage? A. Wastewater treatment systems. B. Roof rainwater collection. C. Water-saving techniques. D. Basic gardening skills.
