facts he observes. he doesnt accept ideas which are not 32 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority as the only 33 for truth. he always 34 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them. the rise of 35 science may perhaps be considered to 36 as far back as the 37 of roger bacon, the wonderful philosopher of oxford, who live 38 the years 1214 and 1292. he was probably the first in the middle 39 to suggest that we must learn science 40 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 41 many important discoveries. galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men, 42 in italy, france, germany, or england, began by 43 to show how many important 4 could be discovered by observation. before galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 45 towards the earth than small ones, 46 aristotle said so. but galileo, going to the 47 of the leaning tower of pisa, let fall two 48 stones and proved aristotle was wrong. it was galileos 49 of going direct to nature, and proving our 50 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science. 31. a. use32 a.

over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore（新加坡）are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the west and the east.another way of naming places is naming them after other places. perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former british bases. if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circus - obviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example, “base basah” means “wet rice” in malay（马来语）. now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”? the reason is simple. during the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.51. we learn from paragraph 1 that _.a. the government is usually the first to name a placeb. many places tend to have more than one namec. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedd. people prefer the place names given by the government52. what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. change suddenly. b. change significantly.c. disappear mysteriously. d. disappear very slowly.53. which of the following places is named after a person?a. raffles place. b. selector airbase.c. piccadilly circus. d. paya lebar crescent.54. bras basah road is named _.a. after a person b. after a place c. after an activity d. by its shape55. what can be inferred from the passage?a. some place names in singapore are the same as in britain.b. some places in singapore are named for military purposes.c. the way singaporeans name their places is unique.d. young singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers. b when josephine cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate. half a century later, mrs cooper became a beloved volunteer at the san diego food bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. she organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organizations largest emergency food distribution center in san diego. she was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited washington d. c. to receive the award. she was the main person who helped us make that program grow, said mike doody, former director of the food bank. she had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. she was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. she had a good heart people knew her as grandma because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. she reminded people of their grandma. doody said. as a widow with a young child in 1979, mrs cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when thp food bank provided her with groceries. she devoted her life to giving back, said her daughter, monica cooper. it wasnt unusual for a local church to call mrs cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. she would give people food out of her cupboard. sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car, cooper said. although mrs cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. she died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.56. the underlined word charity in paragraph 1 refers to_. a. offering help b. donating money c. providing services d. showing sympathy57. the san diego food bank is meant to _. a. distribute food in case of emergency b. help hungry children and families c. give basic first-aid treatment d. train some senior volunteers58. which of the following is true of mrs cooper? a. she died at an early age. b. she refused the national award. c. she was kind and devoted. d. she was not easy to get along with.59. from what monica cooper said, we know that_. a. she is in financial trouble b. she was finally rewarded c. she once misunderstood her mother d. she thinks highly of her mother60. mrs coopers story suggests that _ a. everyone needs a grandma nearby b. children are what their parents are c. a sound mind is in a sound body d. a mothers love never changesc two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. in fact, according to an official report on youth violence, in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. given that this is the ease, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit? first of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. a report on violence amongmiddle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between studentsbegin with a relatively minor insult. for example, a fight could start over the fact that onestudent eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. laughter over the sandwich can lead toinsults, which in turn can lead to violence. the problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the waystudents deal with the conflict. once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule ofconflict resolution: stay calm. once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words thatwill calm the other person down as well rude words, namecalling, and accusations only add fuelto the emotional fire. on the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put outthe fire before it explodes out of control. after both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution:listening. listening allows the two sides to understand each other. one person should describehis or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. afterward, the listenercan ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. then the two people shouldchange roles. finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. this doesnt mean trying to figureout whats wrong with the other person. it means understanding what the real issue is and whatboth sides are trying to accomplish. for example, a shouting match over a peanut buttersandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try newthings. students need to ask themselves questions such as these: how did this start? what do ireally want? what am i afraid of? as the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomessmaller. even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution. there will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence.after students in atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to educators for socialresponsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the studentsfelt better about themselves. learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. in that
