16、A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项,并在答题 卡上将该项涂k。（共20小题,每小题2分，共40分）AFor centuries，the great scientists of the world struggled to develop a way to learn longitude (经度).It seemed to those seeking to solve the longitude problem that the only solution was in the moon and stars. During the 17th century, English astronom
17、ers began a major effort to map the stars and their relationship to the moon as it passed across the sky. Royal Astronomer John Flamsteed worked at this task for forty years. The next Royal Astronomer, Edmund Hailey, spent another forty years gathering information about the moons orbit. In 1766，Roya
18、l Astronomer Nevil Maskelyne published the Nautical Almanac (航海天文年历）and Astronomical Ephemeris (星历表）.It contained all the necessary information about the moon and stars that sailors would need to help them learn their longitude. A navigator had to use complex observing instruments to note the positi
19、on of the moon and stars. Then he had to seek the correct information in the Nautical Almanac about the moon and stars at that time of night or day. The final step in the process was to take the mathematical information from the book, link it to the current information and solve the resulting proble
20、m. This took an average of four hours to do.While scientists were studying the stars and moon to solve the longitude problem，a man named John Harrison was working on another project. He was trying to build a clock that would help sailors learn longitude. He began developing his clock in 1730. It too
21、k five years to complete. Several years later, he built a second clock. Twenty years later, he completed a device that was smaller than the first two. But still he was not satisfied. Two years later, he produced a small clock that he could hold in his hand. The clock could tell the correct time in t
22、wo places, meeting the requirements for learning longitude on the sea.For many years after Mr. Harrisons work was completed, the idea of using a clock to learn longitude was rejected. However, that opinion changed when manufacturers learned how to make better and less costly versions of Mr. Harrison
23、s clocks. The clocks became known as chronometers(航行表).31.In which year did Mr. Harrison produce his fourth clock for sailors to tell their longitude?A. In 1730. B. In 1735.C. In 1755.D. In 1757.32.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph refer to?A.The idea that sailors needed to use a c
24、lock to judge their longitude.B The idea that sailors did not want to use a clock to determine their longitude.CThe idea that Mr. Harrison had invented the clock for sailors to tell their longitude.D.The idea that Mr. Harrison had taken advantage of earlier scientists findings about longitude33.From
25、 the second paragraph we can infer_A. astronomers spent 80 years to collect the necessary information to publish the books about longitude B. scientists believed they had to learn the positions of the moon and stars first to solve the longitude problemC.The new method for sailors to learn their long
26、itude by observing the stars and the moon was not simpleD.After many years of hard work, it seemed not possible to learn longitude by observing the stars and the moon34.Which of the following can be used to describe the history of solving the longitude problem?A.Nothing is impossible.B. Where there
27、is life there is hope.C.Failure is the mother of success. D. Imagination will take you everywhere.BMany British people of my generation probably remember watching their first flea (跳蚤)circus on Michael Bentines Potty Time. Potty Time was a childrens TV program which featured comedian Michael Bentine
28、 and a group of puppets (木偶）.Even as a child I never once thought that the flea circus which was featured on his show involved real fleas，so imagine my surprise when I read an article in a British newspaper about a group of performing fleas being denied entry to the UK by customs officers. The fleas
29、 and their boss, Professor Maria Fernanda Cordoso, had been on their way to perform at the Edinburgh Festival , one of Scotlands most famous arts festivals, when customs officials decided that the Australian fleas in her troupe(剧团）were illegal immigrants and would have to be sent back. The trainer t
30、hen had to find other local fleas and train them to perform the same act.On reading the article I decided to investigate more and discovered that flea circuses have a long history originating in England in the 16th century. They had something of a golden age in the 1830s when L. Bertolotto set up hi
31、s flea exhibitions in London. His exhibitions featured a flea orchestra playing flea music, fleas playing card games and so on. Dead fleas dressed as wedding couples were popular collectors items in the 1920s. And as late as the mid-1950s there was still a flea circus near Times Square in New York.T
32、raining fleas can be very difficult，but there are a few methods that have proven successful. For example, there are chemicals that fleas dont like. These can be put on a small ball and put among a group of fleas. The fleas will push the ball away with their legs and give the illusion that they are p
33、laying football.The trainer Cordoso is a sculptor and she spent four years researching the lost art of flea training and is now regarded as a world expert.35.Which is true about Professor Maria Fernanda Cordoso?A.She was unable to perform because her fleas were sent back to Australia.B.It was she th

Published in 1852, the novel had a significant effect on worldwide attitude
37、s toward African-Americans and slavery. In the United States, it is widely thought to have helped deepen the sectional(局部）conflict that led to civil war.Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist (废奴 主义者），focused the novel on the character of Uncle To
38、m, a long-suffering Black slave around whose life revolved (转动）the stories of other charactersboth fellow slaves and slave owners.Uncle Toms Cabin was the best-selling novel, and the second best-selling book following the Bible, of the 19th century and is credited with helping to fuel the abolitioni
39、st cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published，300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States alone. The books influence was. so great that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the American Civil War, Lincoln is often quoted(引用）as having declared, “So this is th
40、e little lady who made this big war. ”The book also helped create a number of common stereotypes about Blacks, many of which are still popular this day. These include the affectionate，dark-skinned mother ； the stereotype of black children and so on.The book opened with a Kentucky farmer named Arthur

67、d mathematician from south-6ast France with a passion for beetles. In the last few years , Lemaire has found seven new species. He has hunted them down by exploring caves and crawling through tunnels dating back to the Middle Ages. It was in one such tunnel in Monaco that he found his most valuable
68、discoverya blind soil-dwelling(居住) beetle which is only 2mm long. Lemaire thinks it probably lives nowhere else on earth but the Rock of Monaco. “ Finding a new species is like the holy grail(圣杯）” he says.3j Already about 350,000 beetle species have been identified ,. making it one of the biggest an
69、imal orders on the planet. It is hard .work- crawling around ;underground, but, Lemaire point out , beetles are at least easier to catch than some other creatures-butterflies, for example.4For centuries, scientists have catalogued the creatures Europethe tall and die small, the feathered and the fur
70、red. After all, Europe was home to some of the most respected naturalists of all time, including Britains Charles Darwin and Swedens Carl Linnaeus, the. biologist who popularized the Latin naming system for every species on Earth. And yet “we only know the tip of the iceberg，” says ecologist Benoit
71、Fontaine of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. In Europe alone, about 700 new species are being discovered each year. Thats about four times the rate of two centuries ago.?;5These species tend to be tiny creatures-often insects, spiders, and worms. And many of the animals would likely

One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes than they have to hand write something.

If the computer says XYZ, and they often think XYZ must true* They didnt want to spend time thinking or investigating, and always copying what they want online. Admittedly, computers make our
