17、, and suddenly you cant remember that someones name even though you sense it is just there in your memory. Or you cant quite bring back the name of a film you just saw. Such tip-of-the-tongue or TOT incidents happen to almost everyone, notes Deborah Burke, a scientist at Pomona College in Claremont,

18、 California. These lapses(失误) have nothing to do with remembering the meaning of a word, but rather with its sound. “Often, the sound of a word is arbitrary (任意的) and senseless,” says Burke. This arbitrariness sometimes can make it difficult to bring back the word. The best way to prevent the proble

19、m is to use the name of a person or object as frequently as possible. “I tell people to do what salespeople often do-repeat peoples name several times just before you plan to see them,” says Liz Zelinski of the University of South California in Los Angeles. A TOT experience can seem worse when a sim

20、ilar-sounding(发音相似的)，but incorrect, word comes into your head unexpectedly and stays there. Burke tells the story of a student who was trying to remember the name of a particular car. The student wanted the word Winnebago, but she could only come up with rutabaga. When this happens, think of somethi

A. think of more words of similar sound B. stop feeling worried but keep thinking of it C. do something else for a while and then try again D. forget it for the moment and pay attention to something elseC Cop

24、ernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February19, 1473. Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted (收养) him, his two sisters, and his brother. The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the University of

25、Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astronomy. It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Kopernigk, to the Latin form of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1946 Copernicus went to Italy, where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities.

26、In Copernicus time people still believed that all thingsthe sun, the stars, and the planetsmoved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on his belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was

27、 also linked to religious (宗教的) beliefs. In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work on astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with onl

28、y his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic (逻辑)，Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun. Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his fr

29、iends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book. On the Revolution of the Heavenly Bodies appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died, May 24, 1543.36. Which of the following is TRUE about Copernicus? A. He had two brothers and a

30、sister B. He used to be called Niklas Kopernigk C. He lost his father soon after he was born D. He spent 10 years at the University of Cracow37. From the passage we can see that astronomy is _. A. the life experience of great men B. the movement of the stars and the planets C. the scientific study o

31、f natural objects in space D. the theories developed by scientists of old times38. Copernicus developed his theory _. A. using various telescopes B. based on Aristotles beliefs C. through observations and reasoning D. under the encouragement of his friends39. The writer of the passage wants us to kn

32、ow that _. A. Copernicus did not tell about his theory until the day of his death B. for many years Copernicus dared to do nothing openly against the Church C. pushed by his friends Copernicus decided to write a book in May1543 D. shortly before he got back to Poland Copernicus started to work for t

33、he ChurchDThere was a river with a small town on either side of it. The towns were linked by a bridge. One day，a hole appeared in the bridge. Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended. However，disagreement came up as to who should mend it. Each town thought that it had a better reason for the

34、 other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road，so the left-bank town should mend the hole. The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge. The quarrel we

35、nt on and on，and so did the hole. The more it went on，the more the hostility between the two towns grew. One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，i

36、n order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident. But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night.Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle（轴）because of the hole. Neither town paid any attention to the accident，as the traveler was not going from one to the

37、 other，but was merely passing through. The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended. On hearing the reason，he declared，“I'll buy this hole. Whos the owner？” Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole. “One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it.

38、” “How shall we prove it？”asked both sides. “That's simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it. Ill buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge.” People from both towns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle. They mended the bridge

39、in no time and asked for the money for the hole. “What hole？”The traveler looked surprised. “I can't see any hole. Ive been looking for a hole for several years now. I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but theres no hole here. Are you pulling my leg or what？” He got into his car and drov
