17、D解析 11-13 Perhaps the most vital person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. Although I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his special qualities. First of all, I was impressed by his devotion to teaching. Because his lectur

18、es were always well prepared and clearly delivered, students swarmed into his classroom. His followers appreciated the fact that he believed in what he taught and that he was intellectually stimulating. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an imaginative way, introducing such

19、aids to understanding as paintings, recordings, pieces of sculpture, and guest lectures. Once he even sang a song in class to illustrate a point. Second, I admired the fact that he would confer with students outside of the classroom or talk with them on the telephone. Drinking coffee in the snack ba

20、r, he would challenge a student to a game of chess. At other times, he could join group to discuss sections ranging from astronomy to scuba diving. Many young people visited him in his office for academic advice; others came to his room for social evenings. Finally, I was attracted by his lively wit

21、. He believed that no class hour is a success unless the students and the professor share several chuckles and at least one loud laugh. Through his sense of humor, he made learning more enjoyable and more lasting. If it is true that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, then my friend i

After the Norman Conquest, William I, the new king

30、 from France, was faced with a lot of problems. But the most important one is to keep order. On the one hand, the newly conquered English were far from being obedient to the conquerors. Many of them were seeking restoration of truly English ruling. On the other hand, not all of those who fought for

31、William I in the Battle of Hasting were loyal to the new king. What they were seeking was more money and more power. Either of these groups of people might be the potential overthrowers of William Is ruling. However, William was wise enough not only to realize these threats, but to set out to elimin

32、ate them. One of the most important and effective ways was to send the circulars. These were groups of people who were either capable fighters or brilliant judges, headed by a person who was both intelligent and faithful to the king. The functions of these people included the suppression of uprising

33、s and the judgments of conflicts. As these judges were often not at all familiar with the people involved in the lawsuits, investigations had to be carried out among the local people. And the opinions of the local people were so important for judgment of the cases that this eventually became an indi

34、spensable part of the English law. Those who were consulted before the court was open were members of the Grand Jury and those who helped make the final decision became members of the Petty Jury. The judges also noticed that people were more satisfied with the judgment of some cases than with others

35、. They took special care to remember these more satisfied ones and applied them to similar case. That more often than not proved effective. That was the beginning of precedents in the English law. 8. What were the followers of William I most interested in?A.Larger fortunes.B.More fightings.C.Obedien

36、ce of their own subordinates.D.Restoration of their previous positions.答案:C9. Who helped the judges with the decision of lawsuits?A.Local scholars on law.B.Local ordinary people.C.Followers of the judges.D.Investigators of the eases.答案:B10. Who became members of the Petty Jury?A.Those who helped bef

What kind of fuse is usually fixed in a three-pin plug?答案: A 13A fuse/A 13-ampere fuse.解析 21-30 Good evening,

39、 everyone! Welcome to our todays Know-How. This time Ill say something about wiring-up a three-pin plug, either because an old plug is broken or the cable has come loose, or because we have a new electrical appliance which needs a plug. All modem plugs have three rectangular pins and are sold with a

40、 13A (ampere) fuse already fitted. A 13A fuse is the largest fuse used in the home for appliances taking a large electric current, such as an electric heater, a kettle, a color television, and a vacuum cleaner. Other appliances such as a black and white television, a food-mixer, a record player and

41、an electric blanket need only a 3A fuse. Most cable contains three separate wires (three-core cable), each covered by colored plastic insulation according to an international code. The darkest color brown is the live wire. The live terminal in a three-pin, 13A plug is connected to the fuse, which co

42、ntrols how much current can pass through the appliance. If the current exceeds the limit of the fuse, the fuse will blow and the circuit is broken, thus allowing no current to pass into the appliance until the fuse is replaced with a new one. The green and yellow stripped wire is the earth wire; thi

43、s ensures that the actual body of the appliance is kept at earth potential and that you cannot get an electric shock by merely using it and handling it in a normal way. The third wire, covered in blue, is the neutral wire. Some cables contain only two separate wires (two-core cable), live and neutra

44、l. This should only be used for small appliances, which take a low current, such as non-metal light fittings or transistor radios. The cable itself is covered in different materials depending on its weight and the use to which the cable is to be put. For example, radios, lamps and small appliances h

45、ave a rubber or PVC covering, while washing machines, vacuum cleaners and electric irons are covered in heavy-duty rubber, sometimes covered by a braided cord. Appliances involving high temperatures have silicon rubber. Now let us discuss the correct way to wire-up a three-pin plug. You must take gr

46、eat care not to make a mistake; otherwise, a fire or damage to the appliance could he the result. You need only basic toolsa small screwdriver, a pair of wire strippers, a pair of scissors and a little insulation tape if you are using braided flex. The flex, of course, cannot be fitted into the plug

47、 until it has been preparedthis is done by cutting the outer covering of the flex with your scissors and stripping it back for about 50mm so that the three insulated wires are exposed. And before you do so, you must loosen the screw in the center of the plug with the screwdriver and hold the plug fi

48、rmly in the palm of your hand with the pins facing upwards. After that, you can loosen the two small screws at the base of the plug, which hold the cord grip and then remove the fuse, which is clipped inside the plug. Prepare the flex as I explained earlier, wrapping insulation tape around the cut e

49、nd if you are using braided flex and then run it underneath the cord grip, positioning the wires against their respective terminals, prior to cutting them to length. Only now are you ready to fit them to their terminals. To do this, you must strip 15mm of the colored insulation from each of the wire

50、s with the strippers. Be careful not to cut the wire as you do so. The green and yellow striped wire goes to the largest of the three pins, the brown wire goes to the terminal with the fuse and the neutral wire goes to the remaining pin. Before you fit the wires, however, you must first loosen the t

51、erminals and then twist the exposed wires clockwise to prevent any loose strands from escaping or touching each other. Fit the wires to the terminals out. The appropriate fuse for the appliance will be clipped into place after you have screwed the cord grip over the flex where it enters the plug and

52、 make sure that it is firm. And at last, you may replace the back of the plug and screw itthere should be no rattling if you have done the job properly. 2. Among the three different colored wires contained in most cables, which is the live wire?答案: The brown wire.3. Which wire is not contained in a

53、two-core cable?答案: The earth wire.4. As far as the covering of the cable is concerned, what kind of rubber is required for appliance involving high temperature?答案: Silicon rubber.5. What will happen to the appliance if you make a mistake in wiring-up a three-pin plug?答案: Damage or fire.6. Besides a

54、pair of wire strippers and a little insulation tape, what are the other two basic tools you need in doing this job according to the speaker?答案: Screwdrivers and scissors.7. How long will you strip the flex so as to expose the three insulated wires?答案: About 50mm.8. Which screw must you loosen first

55、in order to fit the wires into the plug?答案: The central screw.9. The green and yellow striped wire goes to _.答案: (into)the largest pin.10. Which wire goes to the terminal with the fuse?答案: The brown wire/The live wire.Section Use of English Read the following text and fill each of the numbered space
