7、makes a person a scientist?Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is no.It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw(锯) is important to a carp
8、enter.You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to investigate,and how to discover information,are important to everyone.The scientist,however,goes one step further.He must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed(证实) by other persons.The scient
9、ists knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different,any changes the scientist
10、 observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein,who developed the theory of relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy(精确) of his mathematics was later tested t
11、hrough investigation.Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurement.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigation.1.According to the passage, make a scientist.A.the ways of livingB.the tools he usesC.the ways of

15、go.He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made.The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.He could not work it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However,Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton,who was a brilliant
16、 mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem,but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.Then Halley set to work.He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scienti
17、sts.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531,1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley.Three different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it,the more he th
18、ought that there had not been three different comets as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea!Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future.He deci
19、ded that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There was 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it,for he had died some years before.Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys Comet in his honor.4.Halley figured ou
20、t the orbit of .A.some different comets appearing several timesB.the same comet appearing at different timesC.three different comets appearing three timesD.several comets appearing at the same time答案:B解析:理解判断题。根据第三、四段可知,哈雷计算的是同一颗彗星在不同时间的轨道。5.Halley made his discovery .A.by doing experimentsB.by mean
21、s of his own careful observationC.by using the work of other scientistsD.by chance答案:C解析:细节理解题。哈雷的研究是基于前人的成就的。6.This passage in general is about .A.Halley and other scientistsB.the orbit of a cometC.Newton and HalleyD.Halley and his discovery答案:D解析:主旨大意题。全文讲的是哈雷发现“哈雷彗星”的故事。7.Which of the following i
22、s TRUE according to the passage?A.Halley was an American scientist.B.Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.C.Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.D.The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,牛顿是个著名的数学家。五、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。EinsteinsEarlyLifea
