17、pernicus went to the University of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astronomy.

18、s studying at various universities.In Copernicus time people still believed that all thingsthe sun, the stars, and the planetsmoved around the earth.

Still, using mathematics and logic(逻辑), Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun.Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked
21、about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life.

It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vi
25、etnamese folk story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the children playing by themselves. To make up for that time, the parents would use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and thanks for their children.As a result, the Mid-Autumn Festival is
26、 also called the Childrens Festival. In the United States, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese-American families. Activities are often centered on children and education. Parents buy lanterns(灯笼)for their children so that they can take part in a candle and lantern parade at dawn. Lanterns me
27、an brightness, while the parade means success in school. Vietnamese markets sell a variety of lanterns, but the most popular childrens lantern is the star lantern.

34、knowledge and grades improve but they would also increase mastery(掌握)of basic study skills. 32Homework can provide other benefits.

C 卓别林以其自编、自导、自演出名,句中提到了write(编剧)和perform(演出),所以direct(导演)符合逻辑。act和perform都可指“表演”;edit意为“编辑”,shoot可指“拍摄”,都与上下文不符。38. D in some cases指“在
68、某些情况下”或“有时”。in case of意为“假设;以防万一”;in this case意为“既然这样”;in case意为“万一”。39. B pass a message指“传递信息”;possibility意为“可能性”;culture意为“文化”;promise意为“允诺”。40. C 卓别林在电影中传达了一种平等和正义的信息,“especially(尤其)”面向小人物。41.

69、受。44. C 通过下文看出卓别林的童年是贫困的。45. D 根据下文讲他和妈妈一起生活可知,此处指他直到七岁才见过父亲两次。46. B 上文提到只见过其父亲两次,说明其父亲“离开”了他们。47. A 此处讲述卓别林童年的事情,侧重他爸爸离家的时间是在卓别林出生后一年左右。48. D 通过下文“her voice gave out”推断,她应该是一个歌手。49. A 作为一名歌手,失去了好的噪音,就意味着其演艺生涯的结束。因此答案为ended。50. A attend意为“出席,参加,参与”,可指参加“会议、聚会、礼拜”等,本句中的church services的含义是“教堂礼拜”。51. B
70、 at the age of为固定短语。52. D 四个选项中只有法庭有权利让他父亲再抚养他们。53. D 此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词为人,所以用who。54. C 下文提到他妈妈从精神病院出来后把他们接走,这表明在妈妈出院前,他们是和爸爸在一起。55. B pick up指“接(人)”;take away指“取走”;take apart 意为“拆开;拆卸”;bring up意为“养育;教养”。根据句意选B项。听力材料Text 1 M: Are those noodles done yet? Im so hungry, I could eat raw eggs! W: Me, too. B
