45、im.The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone.He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch.He decided to follow him and get back the watch.Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian.Neither of them understood the others language.The

When he returned to the hotel,the Frenchman told his wife what had happened.He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table.Now he
47、realized that by mistake he had robbed the watch and it was the Italians. 【解题导语】本文讲述了法国人与意大利人语言不通发生误解的一个有趣的故事。法国人在散步时以为自己的手表被经过的意大利人偷了,于是他向意大利人举起了他的拳头将手表拿了回来。而他回到旅店发现他的手表安然无恙地躺在桌上。56The Frenchman went to a small Italian town_ .

50、o you suppose Darwin,one of the greatest scientists of all time,really did fool experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?Sometimes,people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法)to a problem.So
51、metimes,they really do know an answer or a solution,but without thinking they are important.Charles Darwin didnt settle for (满足于)just thinking he knew something.And,he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the sam
52、e size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place,they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的)little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets.What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldnt
53、 be worth anything.But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our presentday understandings of physics,ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set_aside some of ancient Greek physics.Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things a
54、nd to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea,which we might think is foolish,can shake the foundations of science.60The passage tells us that Charles Darwin_ .Awas a great English scientistBalways liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultCthought even the simplest thing wa
55、s importantDdidnt get well with others解析:选C。本题为判断题。短文并没有说 Charles Darwin是哪个国家的科学家,可排除A;由第二段可知别人认为Darwin的许多实验不值得做,可把B排除;文中没有论述Darwin与别人相处的事情,可排除D。由“.he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.(Para.3)”可推出答案C。61The phrase “set aside” most probably means_ .Athrow away Bs
56、tore up Cput to use Drealize 解析:选A。本题为词义猜测题。由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的,它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊古典物理学的观点。由此可推知set aside与throw away同义。62The author of the passage tries to_ .Aconvince us that Charles Darwin,Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world Bdraw the conclusion that basic
57、sciences are simple thingsCprove that two sheets of paper,with the same size and shape,will fall at the same speedDdraw our attention to everyday happenings around us 解析:选D。本题为主旨大意题。短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能动摇科学的根基,意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事,哪怕它非常简单。63Which of the following is TRUE?ADarwin really did fool experiment
58、s.BAccording to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.CIt is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.DGalileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.解析:选B。本题为细节考查题。短文第一段第二句“Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other p

71、pay eight visits to one household to get their information because they were migrant workers who had no regular work hours,according to the Southern Metropolis Daily.In Beijing,most residents received a mobile phone message over the weekend,asking them to take part in a cooperative spirit.VicePremie

76、NG according to the passage?ABilingual or multilingual skills are necessary in doing the census at times.BNine tenths of the people will fill in an 18item form during the census.CCensus in Guangzhou started ahead of time because of the Asian Games.DYang Shu is a community in Chaoyang District where
77、many foreigners live.解析:选D。根据倒数第三段第一句话(Yang Shu,deputy director of the census office of Maizidian.),Yang Shu是一个人(deputy director)而不是地方,因此D项说法是错误的。其他几项与原文说法相同。69We can figure out that the result of the fifth census in China was announced in_.A1991 B1996C2001 D2006解析:选C。文中提及每10年一次人口普查,而这次是第六次人口普查,因此上次
