二、阅读理解
We all know Albert Einstein was probably the most intelligent man that ever lived, and that his contributions to science were the greatest, but still, there are a few things you may not know about the great scientist.
Einstein Syndrome
Einstein was suppod to talk late—he told his biographer（传记作者）he didn't start speaking until at least three years old. Stanford economist Dr. Thomas Sowell even invented the term "Einstein Syndrome" to describe extremely bright children who speech is delayed.
A Simple Compass
When Albert Einstein was five years old and sick in bed, his father showed him a simple pocket compass. Einstein was attracted. What force made the little needle point in a single direction? This question stayed with Einstein for many years and has been considered as the beginning of his interest in science.
Einstein and the Violin
魔法师的弟子Einstein's mother, Pauline, was an excellent pianist and wanted her son to love music too, so she started him on violin lessons when he was six years old. Unfortunately, at first, Einstein hated playing the violin. He would much rather build hous of cards, which he was really good at. When Einstein was 13 years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he heard the music of Mozart. With a new passion for playing, Einstein continued to play the violin until the last few years of his life and Einstein would u the violin to relax when he became stuck in his thinking process.
Designed a Refrigerator
Twenty-one years after writing his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein invented a refrigerator that operated on alcohol gas. The refrigerator was patented（获得专利）in 1926 but never went into production becau new technology made it unnecessary. Einstein invented the refrigerator becau he read about a family poisoned by a sulphur dioxide-emitting（排放二氧化硫的）refrigerator.
16. What is the term "Einstein Syndrome" in Paragraph 2 ud to describe?
A．Some people who change their mind about learning music.
B．Some children who can't speak until they are three years old
C．Some smart children who begin to speak later than normal children
D．Some people who are crazy about the pocket compass and its needle.
17. What did Einstein think of playing the violin before he was 13?系统抽样法
A．Boring. B．Interesting. C．Frightening. D．Hateful.
18. Which of the following is TRUE about Einstein according to the passage? A．Einstein benefited a lot from playing the violin.
B．Einstein invented the refrigerator out of curiosity.
C．Einstein received a compass as a gift for his fifth birthday.
D．Einstein suffered from a special illness when he was a child.
It’s fall, and that means some trees are losing their leaves. Many people might e cleaning up all that yard waste as tiring. But Bryant Liu, 13, looked at his leaf-blanketed lawn and saw a potential source of energy.
Right now, most people fuel their cars with petrol made from fossil fuels (化石燃料), which are not renewable. So scientists are making biofuels. For example, engineers can produce bioethanol - a type of alcohol fuel - from sugars in plants. Turning to dead leaves, however, prents a challenge for biofuel developers. Dead leaves have sugar, but they also have lots of lignin - a tough substance (物质) that strengthens the walls of plant cells. To get to the sugars inside, scientists first have to break down the lignin with chemicals.
Bryant wanted to e if he could get sugar for biofuels out of dead leaves by pretreating tho leaves with acids or bas (碱).The young rearcher gathered up three garbage bags full of leaves from his yard. Then he went to his father’s laboratory. He broke the dead leaves into pieces, and then carefully loaded equal numbers of them into test tubes. Afterwards, he added either an acid solution or a ba solution at different concentrations to the test t ubes. “That was really fun,” Bryant says. “It made me feel like a real scientist.” Finally, the teen found that pretreating leaves with either an acid or ba encouraged sugar to get out from his yard’s leaves. However, he explains, the process is still too expensive.
Bryant now wants to take the sugars from his finding to the next step - making ethanol. If he could create a better method for producing biofuels, he explains, people would need fewer fossil fuels and
“have a renewable energy source for the future.” And, Bryant adds, if people u all tho dead leaves for biofuels, he and other kids may have to do less cleaning each fall.
19. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
喝多了头疼怎么缓解A．Reflect on Bryant’s experiences.
B．U examples to support the topic.
C．Add some background information.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
20. What is the purpo of Bryant’s experiment?
A．To test the toughness of the lignin.
B．To find the differences between acids and bas.
C．To identify the functions of the elements of leaves.
D．To get sugar from dead leaves using acids and bas.
21. What is Bryant’s next step?
A．To produce biofuels from dead leaves.
B．To promote the u of biofuels worldwide.
C．To make his pretreating process less costly.
D．To encourage other kids to collect dead leaves.

C．He has a good n of humor.
D．He has a spirit of exploration.
Dogs are our best friends. That’s especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildi
元素法ngs fall down, arch and rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs’ amazing nos can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It’s taki ng smell detection(探测) to a whole new level.
The new invention is a sort of electronic no, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds(化合物) from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.
The electronic no can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. "Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery," says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering&Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected tho compounds at unbelievably low levels.
