Air, as a gas, has no definite (明确的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom(底部) of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.

Most paragraphs of a passage or chapter have a "topic sentence" which expresses the central idea. The remaining sentence expand or support that idea. It has been estimated that between 60% and 90% of all expositive(说明的)paragraphs in English have the topic sentence first. Always pay special attention to the first sentence of a paragraph; it is most likely to give you the main idea.
Sometimes , though , the first sentence in the paragraph does not have the feel of "main idea" sentence. It does not seem to give us enough new information to justify a paragraph. The next most likely place to look for the topic sentence is the last sentence of the paragraph.
Remember that the opening and closing paragraphs of a passage or chapter are particularly important . The opening paragraph suggests the general direction and content of the piece, while the closing paragraph often summarizes the very essence (精髓).
小题1:It is a good idea to skim through a passage quickly first ________.
A.at about 350 w. P.m.(words per minute) |
B.to get the general idea of each paragraph |
C.so that you can take in each word separately |
D.to make sure you get to the end at least once |
A.usually comes in the middle |
B.is most likely to be found at the end |
C.is most often at the beginning |
D.is usually left out in expository writing |
A.in about 40% of cases | B.in about 80% of cases |
C.in about 20% cases | D.very rarely |
A.it does not seem to give us enough new information |
B.it is not long enough |
C.it does not come at the beginning |
D.it does not make complete sentence |
A computer
A computer is an "information processor". It is given information, called "data", instructed to do certain things and then show us the results. The data put into the computer is called the" input" and the results which come out are the "output". Some people say the circle of large standing stones at Stonehenge is a kind of computer. Prehistory people worked out their calendar from the position of the shadows made by the sun shining on the stones.
Extract 2

Annalisee Brasil, a 14-year-old girl, is one of the brightest kids of her generation. When Annalisee was 3, her mother Angi noticed that she was stringing together word cards into correct sentences. After the girl turned 6, her mother took her for an IQ text. Her IQ is above 145, placing the girl in the top 0.1% of the population. Annalisee should be the star pupil at school. She is witty and pretty, and it’s easy to imagine she would get along well at school. But Annalisee’s parents couldn’t find a school willing to take their daughter. So her mother homeschooled Annalisee.
But Angi felt something was missing in her daughter’s life. Annalisee didn’t have a rich social network of other kids. She had trouble getting along with others. She described herself as a “perfectionist” and said other students sometimes were jealous of her.
What’s needed is a new model for gifted education. That’s the idea behind the Davidson Academy of Nevada. At the academy, all the kids are skipping ahead quickly. However, the academy’s most important gift to its students is social, not academic. One of the main functions of the school is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted.
Last year the school enrolled Annalisee, which has been good for her. She has made friends at the academy. She has also developed an interest in calculus(微积分) and biochemistry(生物化学). Socially, Annalisee is finally learning to get along with others. “It’s been interesting having to deal with that and getting used to the judgments of other kinds,” she said. “We get into arguments a lot, because we’re all really smart people with opinions, and it doesn’t always turn out that great. Sometimes I take things a little too personally.”
What is the passage mainly about?
Annalisee Brasil——the star pupil at school.
A smart girl who entered a proper school and benefited from gifted education.
A smart girl who had trouble getting along with others.
A girl who was too smart to find a suitable school.
小题1:The word “perfectionist” in paragraph two probably means a person who _________.
A.is smarter than others |
B.is always favored by teachers |
C.can do everything well and has strong demands |
D.is accepted by others as a good leader |
A.At the age of 3, Annalisee took an IQ test, in which she scored above 145. |
B.Finding no school willing to take Annalisee, her father had to homschool her. |
C.The Davidson Academy of Nevada emphasizes social gift more than academic gift. |
D.After being enrolled by the academy, Annalisee enjoyed her school life without ant argument with her classmates. |
A.Annalisee has realized her problem and is gradually changing her attitude towards others. |
B.One of the main functions of the gifted education is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted. |
C.Without the academy, Annalisee couldn’t have learnt so much. |
D. Like Annalisee, many other smart kids also have the similar trouble. |
A repeated criticism of the UK"s university sector is its noticeable weakness in translating new knowledge into new products and services.
Recently, the UK National Stem Cell Network warned the UK could lose its place among the world leaders in stem cell research unless adequate funding and legislation could be assured, despite an annual £40m spent by the Department of Health on all kinds of research.
However, we do have to challenge the unthinking complaint that the sector does not do enough in taking ideas to market. The most recent comparative data on the performance of universities and research institutions in Australia, Canada, USA and UK shows that, from a relatively weak starting position, the UK now leads on many indicators of commercialization activity.
When viewed at the national level, the policy interventions (interference) of the past decade have helped transformed the performances of UK universities. Evidence suggests the UK"s position is much stronger than in the recent past and is still showing improvement. But national data masks the very large variation in the performance of individual universities. The evidence shows that a large number of universities have fallen off the back of the pack, a few perform strongly and the rest chase the leaders.
This type of uneven distribution is not strange to the UK and is mirrored across other economies. In the UK, research is concentrated: less than 25% of universities are receiving 75% of the research funding. These same universities are also the institutions producing the greatest share of PhD graduates, science citations, patents and license income. The effect of policies generating long-term resource concentration has also created a distinctive set of universities which are research-led and commercially active. It seems clear that the concentration of research and commercialization work creates differences between universities.
The core objective for universities which are research-led must be to maximize the impact of their research efforts. Their purpose is not to generate funds to add to the bottom line of the university or to substitute other income streams. Rather, these universities should be generating the widest range of social, economic and environmental benefits. In return for the scale of investment, they should share their expertise (expert knowledge or skill) in order to build greater confidence in the sector.
Part of the economic recovery of the UK will be driven by the next generation of research commercialization spilling out of our universities. On the evidence presented in my report, there are three dozen universities in the UK which are actively engaged in advanced research training and commercialization work.
If there was a greater coordination(协调)of technology transfer offices within regions and a simultaneous (happening at the same time) investment in the scale and functions of our graduate schools, universities could, and should, play a key role in positioning the UK for the next growth cycle.
小题1:What does the author think of UK universities in terms of commercialization?
A.They have lost their leading position in many ways. |
B.They still have a place among the world leaders. |
C.They do not regard it as their responsibility. |
D.They fail to change knowledge into money. |
A.It masks the fatal weaknesses of government policy. |
B.It indicates their ineffective use of government resources. |
C.It does not rank UK universities in a scientific way. |
D.It does not reflect the differences among universities. |
A.concentration of resources in a limited number of universities |
B.compulsory cooperation between universities and industries |
C.government aid to non-research-oriented universities |
D.fair distribution of funding for universities and research institutions |
A.Fully use their research to benefit all sectors of society. |
B.Generously share their facilities with those short of funds. |
C.Advertise their research to win international recognition. |
D.Spread their influence among top research institutions. |
