More girls than boys entered the petition, which was open to those aged 13 years old and under.Oxford University Press studied about 74,000 entries to the petition.

Stephen Hawking decided to bee a scientist when he was 8 or 9 years old. By the time he was 14, he had narrowed down his field of interest to math and physics. After getting a first-class honors degree from Oxford University, he decided to do his PhD study at Cambridge. It was at Cambridge that the disease was to make Hawking a patient. His hands trembled and he found it difficult to tie his shoelaces. His parents took him to a specialist who announced that he had a rare disease called motor neuron disease (运动神经元病). Patients suffering from the disease usually do not live very long. And Hawking, who was 21 years old at the time, was told that he might not live to see his 25th birthday. He felt very sad and lost interest in his work.Hawkings desperation lasted two years. Then he realized that he should fight back the disease. He obtained his PhD degree in 1966, married, had children, and slowly began to make a name for himself in Cosmology, the study of the universe.In 1988, Hawking wrote a book in which he put down some of his ideas about how the universe came into being. It was titled A Brief History of Time. It became a best-seller and brought Hawking fame and fortune.Today Hawking is limited to a wheelchair and he cannot even speak without the help of a machine, but his mind remains unaffected. To doctors, he is a medical curiosity; to scientists, he is a pathbreaker in the study of the universe.34. What do we know about Stephen Hawking according to the text? A.

Each cat is truly an individual, and cats show their individuality in their behavior. Often personality is more important than looks when it es to deciding on the next feline (猫科的) member of your family. If you want an outgoing cat, read the following and find out which breed is the best choice for you.SiberiansSiberians have long hair. Originally associated with Russia, the Siberian breed has been around for centuries in Europe and Asia. Within only the past few decades, the breed has bee popular in the United States. Families looking for an outgoing cat might want to consider a Siberian, since these cats are great with children and with other pets. They are also known for being very healthy and resistant (抵抗的) to diseases. A Siberian is good for a busy family that doesnt want to devote too many resources to healthcare for the cat. OcicatsIf you are looking for a cat that has a similar temperament (性情) to the Siberian but has short hair, consider an Ocicat. This breed has only been around since the 1960s. Like Siberians, Ocicats are great with kids, and they can even be taught to e when their names are called. One disadvantage of this breed is that they are so energetic that they may get bored or make trouble if they dont have enough room to play and explore.BengalsThe Bengal cat is another new breed to consider if you want an outgoing pet. Bengals were introduced about the same time as Ocicats, but under very different circumstances. The Bengal is actually a cross between domestic cats and wild cats. They are intelligent and active, but that also reduces their friendliness somewhat. Unlike Ocicats, Bengals may sometimes be aggressive (攻击性的) to small children or other pets.38. Which of the following is TRUE about Siberians?A. Their owners must give special care to their health.B. Its easy to keep them in good health. C. Its hard for them to live with children and other pets.D. They have been popular in the United States for centuries.39.

If you keep an Ocicat, you should .A. pay more attention to its health conditionB. never call its name because it will never replyC. prevent your children from being hurt by it D. give it enough room to play and explore41. Which of the following is a disadvantage of the Bengals?A. They have short hair. B. They are not intelligent and active.C. They are aggressive sometimes.D. Their resistance to diseases is weak.DOur love of music and appreciation of musical harmony (和谐) is learnt and not based on natural ability, a new study by researchers from University of Melbourne has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical properties of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.The study shows that musical harmony can be learnt and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you think that the music of some foreign culture sounds like the crying of cats, its simply because you havent learnt to listen by their rules.The researchers studied 66 volunteers in a musical training program and tested their ability to hear binations of notes (音符) to determine if they found them familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with sounds created by binations of notes before they could hear the individual notes. If they couldnt find the notes, they would find the sound dissonant. This finding crashed centuries of theories that physical properties of the ear determine what we find appealing.The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldnt find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing (培养) the brain. Depending on their training, a strange chord (和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This shows us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learnt.To prove this finding, the researchers trained 19 non-musicians. Not only did the participants ability to hear notes improve rapidly, the chords they had learnt to play sounded more pleasant. 42. Why do people feel some new music quite unpleasant according to the study?A. Because they hear the music too often.B. Because they have no talent in music at all.C. Because they havent learnt to listen by the rules.D. Because they dont like the person playing the music.43. The underlined word “dissonant” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”. A. informal B. unpleasant C. inspiringD. unfamiliar 44. Although non-musicians were much less sensitive to music, they can .A. play musical instruments as well as musiciansB. find the beauty of music by listening repeatedlyC. be trained to like particular tunesD. make friends with real musicians45. What is the best title for the text?A. Get your brain improved by listening to musicB. Only talented people can bee musiciansC. Appreciation of musical harmony is a natural abilityD. Appreciation of musical harmony is not nature but nurtureEAfter 15 years in infectious-disease biology, Kate Rubins jumped at the chance to realize her childhood dream of being an astronaut.As a kid, I really did, but people pointed out that it was not the most realistic career choice. When I was 16, my dad took me to a DNA meeting, and I was attracted by the way of looking at biology and by the discussions of small things that could make us sick. How did you e to focus on research related to public health?As an undergraduate majoring in biology, I worked on infectious diseases.

Actually I built my own lab quickly after my PhD. How did it feel to have to end your lab after NASA accepted you?Joining NASA was very exciting, but it was the hardest decision I have had to make in my life. I had been working towards one goal for more than 15 years. I had been very clear about what I wanted to do with my career, and this was pletely different. I was concerned about my lab members wonderful people whom I couldnt leave high and dry. I wanted to make sure that they were able to continue their research. In the six weeks that I was given to shut down my lab before heading to the Johnson Space Center for training, I found good labs for everyone to join.Three years later, do you still feel that joining NASA was the right decision?Yes, I am really happy. I have learned many new skills. The whole time at NASA has been a huge turning point for me.46.What is most probably the first question?A. Did you think of being a biologist as a child?B.

He had, however, one great faulthe always forgot.No matter how important the thing was, his answer always was, “I forgot.” When he was sent with a note to the dressmaker, his mother would find the note in his pocket at night. His father and mother decided that something must be done to make the little boy remember.Christmas was near, and Bertie was busy making a list of things which Santa Claus was to bring him. “Santa Claus may forget some of those things,” said his mother. “He cannot,” replied Bertie, “for I shall write all the things on this paper. Then when Santa Claus goes to my stocking he will find the list. He can see it and put the things in as fast as he reads.”Christmas morning came, and Bertie was up at dawn to see what was in his stocking. He found nothing but a list which was much longer than the one he
