SECTION B(10 points)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

He could have been president of Israel or played the violin at Carnegie Hall, but he was too busy thinking. His thinking on God, love and the meaning of life grace our greeting cards and day-timers.

Fifty years after his death, his shock of white hair and hanging mustache still symbolize genius. Einstein remains the foremost scientist of the modern time. Looking back 2,400 years, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals.

Around the world, universities and academies are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein's "miracle year" when he published five scientific papers in 1905 that basically changed our grasp of space, time, light and matter. Only he could top himself about a decade later with his theory of relativity.

Born in the age of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas launched a technological revolution that has made more change in a century than in the previous two thousand years. Computers, satellites, telecommunication, lasers, television and nuclear power all owe their invention to ways in which Einstein exposed a stranger and more complicated reality underneath the world．

He escaped Hitler's Germany and devoted the rest of his life to human rights and peace with an authority unmatched by any scientist today, or even most politicians and religious leaders. He spoke out against fascism and racial prejudice. His FBI file ran 1,400 pages.

His letters expose a disorderly personal life -- married twice and indifferent toward his children while absorbed in physics. Yet he charmed lovers and admirers with poetry and sailboat outings. Friends and neighbors fiercely protected his privacy.

81．What is the passage about?(no more than 5 words)

______________________________________________________________________________                                                                              

82．What gifts does the first paragraph imply that Einstein have?(no more that 10 words)

83．Why was 1905 called Einstein’s “miracle year”?(no more than 15 words)

______________________________________________________________________________                                                                               

84．How do you describe Einstein when he was not buried himself in his research?(no more that 15 words)

When someone says , “Well , I guess I’ll have to go to face the music,” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert . It is something far less pleasant , like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that , and why you did not do this or that . Sour （刺耳）music , indeed , but it has to be faced .

The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American , young and old . It is at least 100 years old . Where did the expression come from ?

The first information comes from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper . He said—in 1851—that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings （側(cè)）to go on stage . After they got their clue（暗示）to go on , they often said , “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did —face the orchestra（管弦樂隊(duì)）which was just below the stage .

An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly , especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out .

So, “to face the music” came to mean : having to go through something , no matter how unpleasant the experience might be , because you knew you had no choice .

The other explanation comes from the army . Men had to face inspection（檢閱）by their leader . The soldiers worried about how well they looked . Was their equipment clean—shiny enough to pass inspection ? Still , the men had to go out , and face the music of the band , as well as the inspection . What else could they do ?

1．The phrase “to face the music” was first used by______________.

A．a(chǎn)ll the Americans

D．the audience might be mostly his friends

3． “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing______________.

A．to be examined about their equipment

B．to be found weak

C．to show themselves by their leader  

D．to be inspected by their leader

4．This passage is mainly about______________.

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年廣西桂林中學(xué)高三7月月考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Most people know that a wedding ring is symbolic of the bond(連結(jié)物) of love and commitment（承諾） between two people. But not everyone knows about the history behind this small yet powerful symbol. The history of the wedding ring goes back not just hundreds but thousands of years. No other currently practiced wedding tradition has been around as long. 

The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use the wedding ring. In Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字） a circle represented eternity. Once a woman accepted the ring she became the “property” of the person who gave it to her and she was in a sense “his.” The first wedding ring could have been made of braided grass or hay （which would have been changed often）, ivory, bone, or leather.  Eventually, metal was used, but the first wedding bands were crude（未加工的） and rough. However, the sentiment（情感） remained the same-eternal commitment and love. 

The Egyptians wore the wedding ring on the left hand because it was believed that a vein（靜脈） in the left hand went straight to the heart. This tradition is still commonly practiced today in most parts of the world largely for practical purposes （most people are right handed.）It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. But there are some countries and groups which do not follow this tradition.  In the Jewish faith, the wedding ring is put on the index finger. Roman Catholics traditionally wore their wedding band on the right hand, and in many countries and regions in Europe some people still follow this tradition. 

It is interesting to note that in the long history of the wedding ring that it is only in the last century that men have begun to wear them. However, now both men and women show their love and commitment by exchanging rings on their wedding day. 

Once you begin shopping for rings you may be amazed by the choices that await you. There are several different types of metals: traditional gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. You can have an inscription（刻字） put on the inside of the band（鑲邊） if you like. Some people are even choosing a tattoo（刺花） band. The styles vary from a simple, yet elegant（優(yōu)雅的） band to an elaborate（精致的） ring covered with jewels. If you do not buy the wedding and engagement rings as a set you will want to be sure the styles are compatible（一致的）. Choose carefully because this choice will need to stand the test of eternity. 

1.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. History of rings                     B. Interesting facts about rings 

C. Different beliefs about rings        D. The meaning of the rings.

2.What may the word “eternity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Elegance        B. Marriage             C. Wedding          D. Foreverness

3.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The meaning of the rings remained unchanged. 

B. One should be careful of choosing a ring in a shop from different kinds. 

C. Jewish are so faithful to their beliefs to wear rings on the fourth finger. 

D. Now most people in the world still follow Roman Catholics traditionally. 

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Men were looked upon by women for thousands years. 

B. Only women have the right to make themselves beautiful. 

C. women wore rings thousands of years earlier than men. 

D. You can have an inscription put on the inside the band.
