For many centuries，countless scholars have asked the question：What is beauty? As designers update the latest fashions and artists create their masterpieces, what is considered beautiful changes at an alarming pace.
Fifty years ago，the full-figured Marilyn Monroe was a symbol of the American aesthetic(美学的)value；today，many Hollywood actresses different in appearance from Marilyn’s have taken her place. However，aesthetic values not only differ from generation to generation，but do so along cultural lines as well. Often, what is considered disgusting to one civilization is just the aesthetic appeal in another. Thus it is difficult to give an absolute definition(定义)of beauty.
As fundamental(基础的)physicists，my colleagues and I like to believe that we are involved in a search for a beauty that affects definition. The beauty that we search for is not what is set up through the work of people and subject to the tastes, but rather what has been laid down by nature Physics allows its students to look past outer appearances，into a deeper beauty. As a human being，I am attracted by the visual appeal of a wave crashing on the beach. As a physicist, however I am able to see the deeper beauty of the physical laws that govern such a phenomenon.
In truth，since Albert Einstein put forward the idea that there might be one main physical theory that governs the universe，aesthetics have become a driving force in modern physics. Einstein and other later physicists have discovered that：Nature, as its most fundamental level，is beautifully constructed. The extraordinary simplicity of the laws that govern the universe is really breathtaking . As Einstein said, it would seem more likely that we should find ourselves living in a“chaotic(无秩序曲)world，in no way graspable through thinking”. Yet we are now closer than ever to a full understanding of the universe’s beautiful clockwork. As new discoveries and technologies allow us to examine the physical world on deeper and deeper levels，we find that the beauty itself becomes much deeper.
小题1:The reference to“Marilyn Monroe”in Paragraph 2 mainly serves to___________.| A．provide an example of today’s beauty standards | | B．show there is no fixed definition of aesthetics | | C．compare traditions of the East to the West | | D．discuss her abilities as an actress |
小题2:When appreciating a wave crashing on the beach，a physicist sees the beauty of___________.| A．the visual attraction | B．the powerful sounds | | C．the physical laws behind | D．the lovely creatures |
小题3:Why are Albert Einstein’s words mentioned in Paragraph 3?| A．To detail the functions of physical laws. | | B．To highlight the range of Einstein’s influence. | | C．To show that Einstein doubted the beauty of physics. | | D．To stress the very simplicity of the laws of the universe. |
小题4:The passage is mainly to___________.| A．present a special way of seeing beauty | | B．emphasize the influence of physics | | C．discuss the awareness of cross-culture | | D．argue the traditional ideas on value |

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip．White had two reasons for making this epic journey．First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did．He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam．White"s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world．He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later．He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains．He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas．Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team．No jeep carrying food, water and medicine．No doctor．Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times．He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains．He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need．There were other dangers along the road．In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had．The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia．For l,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him．This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end．Now Mr．White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry"s highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars．Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? —— GreatMartin
“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie．It is more of a string of picture about several heartless and evil white men(and women)who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds．There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery．” 一一GeminiJef
‘‘Never have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theater．I"ve come out of films before thinking” My god，that was unbelievable”，like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time，but this film just hits you on another level entirely．You sit there after it’s over，wondering if what you’d just experienced was real．The day after．you feel the same．”一一Pauljohnson
“This movie is just an average movie about slavery．Are you kidding me，segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before．12 Years a Slave I watched once and will never watch again．I watched Gravity 5 times and still love it．’’一一Dominionator
“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second．Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time．The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them，and that was genius．Outstanding photography，amazing special effects and the acting is top notch．There were a few people that walked out during some scenes．What a shame!” 一一Apols
小题1:The main purpose of GreatMartin’s writing is __________ .| A．to give a brief introduction of the movie | | B．to share his own opinions with others | | C．to invite answers to his question | | D．to explain why he asks the question |
小题2:The underlined word “stunned’’ in the third paragraph probably means __________ .| A．puzzled | B．shocked | C．disappointed | D．concerned |
小题3:Among the four speakers，who made positive comments on the movie?| A．GeminiJef and Pauljohnson | B．Pauljohnson and Dominionator | | C．GeminiJef and Dominionator | D．Pauljohnson and Apols |
小题4:Which of the following best states Pauljotmson’s ideas about l2 Years a Slave?| A．It leaves little room for character development． | | B．It reaches the height of The Lord of the Rings． | | C．It doesn’t deserve such high praise． | | D．It amazes the audience with its special effects． |

Why do we laugh and get amusement from so many different things，from puns (双关语) to pratfalls? Why are some things funny to some people and not to others? How is that while a successful joke can cause pleasure，a sick one can cause serious harm?
Over the centuries，various scholars have attempted to produce a universally agreed-upon theory of humor．Plato and Aristotle introduced the superiority(优越感) theory，the idea that people laugh at the misfortune of others．Their theory seems to explain teasing，but it doesn’t work well for knock-knock jokes．Sigmund Freud argued for his relief theory，the concept that humor is a way for people to release psychological tension and reveal their inner fears and desires．His theory works well for dirty jokes，less well for most puns．
The majority of humor expels today agree with the incongruity theory，the idea that humor arises when there’s a gap between what people expect to happen and what actually happens．Incongruity has a lot going for it — jokes with unexpected funny lines，for example，fit well．But scientists have found that in comedy，unexpectedness is overvalued．
With the goal of developing a new，more satisfactory explanation，I produced “the gentle violation(违背)theory”，the idea that humor arises when something seems wrong or threatening，but is actually OK or safe．A dirty joke，for example，trades on moral or social violations，but it’s only going to get a laugh if the person listening is open enough to consider the subject OK to talk about．Similarly，puns can be seen as linguistic violations that still make grammatical sense．
And while most humor theories have struggled to account for tickling (挠痒痒)，or just avoided the phenomenon altogether，my theory accounts for even this kind of laughter．Tickling involves violating someone’s physical space in a gentle way．People can’t tickle themselves — because it isn’t a violation．
小题1:What is the author’s attitude towards Plato and Aristotle’s theory?| A．Critical． | B．Approving | C．uncaring | D．Unclear |
小题2:According to Sigmund Freud’s theory，we can infer that __________ .| A．people will laugh when they see others suffer | | B．telling dirty jokes is a relief of one’s nervous feelings ’ | | C．unexpectedness can explain how humor works | | D．tickling doesn’t involve psychological tension |
小题3:According to the author，why are some things funny to some people but not to others?| A．Because the sense of humor varies greatly from person to person． | | B．Because people have different expectations for the same thing． | | C．Because some people lack the sense of safety deep in their heart． | | D．Because people’s understanding of violation is different． |
小题4:What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage?| A．To draw people’s attention to the research of humor． | | B．To criticize people’s misconceptions about humor． | | C．To explain what exactly causes people to laugh． | | D．To prove the sense of humor can be developed． |
