In many ways he has become a bridge foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understan
3、ding of China.In the past two decades the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese
4、culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So

9、old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.(至于这位老思想家,他不会很快被西方人民遗忘,即使他的生日是。)”可知文章想要阐述的观点是古代的思想家孔子并未被忘记,并且将来在西方还会很流行,由此可知D项“有前途的古代思想家”符合文意。3The passage is likely to appear in _.Aa newspaperBa history paperCa philosophy textbookDa biography答案:A解析:文章出处题。文章主
10、要讲的是中国的思想家孔子及其所代表的东方文化仍然被西方所推崇,而并没有讲孔子这个人具体如何,也没有谈及历史或者哲学内容,由此可推断这篇文章更可能出现在报纸上,故正确答案为A。BWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is sho

16、intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.本文是一篇关于权利的夹叙夹议的议论文,讲述了什么是真正的权利。4The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ in this passage.Athrow or walk in a specific direc

Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after th
27、e star has been forced into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears
28、 from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words, a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightlysomewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different timemany years
29、 in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(压碎). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mysterybut that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scien
30、tist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare.

34、,引力把它拉进来,其强度令人难以置信。事实上,引力是如此强大,它甚至把光拉进恒星!因为所有的光都被拉进来了,所以没有一个能出去。当没有光的时候星星就变黑了,可知,当星球里的光透不出来,并变得越来越小,重力越来越大的时候,黑洞就逐渐形成了,而C选项是黑洞形成前的现象,故答案为C。10The black hole _.
