“Dear Sir, I probably would have written ages ago, only I was not aware (意识到) that you were still alive,” writes a South African schoolgirl called Tyfanny in 1946. “I must have been mixing you up with Sir Isaac Newton.”
Tyfanny, who goes on to ask Albert Einstein about the nature of space, received a(n) 36 reply from the great man six weeks later. “Dear Tyfanny,” he writes. “I have to apologize to you that I am still among the37 . This will not always be the case, however.”
Tyfanny is one of 60 children whose 38 to one of the greatest scientists of all time are 39 in the book Dear Professor Einstein: Albert Einstein’s Letters To and From Children.
The letters are printed 40 as they were written, spelling 41 and all, with some printed in their original handwritten form.
While many letters seek answers to 42 questions, such as “what 43 the sun and planets in space?” or “I want to know what is beyond the sky and my mother said you can tell me,” others are more personal. “I would like to ask if you 44 make any mistakes.” 45 one child.

47 , he could not reply to every letter, but the letters he did 48 the time to answer showed the human side of the great scientist. Although he 49 his days looking into mathematics and 50 , he was always very fond of children and their boundless curiosity (好奇心).
For example, it was in a letter to a 12-year-old girl from New York that he made his now well-known remark: “Do not worry about your 51 in mathematics; I promise you that 52 are still greater.”
“This is a beautiful and touching 53 . It is amazing how intelligent some of the children’s 54 are,” said a reader from Georgia, US. “But it is more interesting to get to know the other 55 of Einstein.”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
A
Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
There are some obvious factors (因素) in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems — the telephone, post office, or transportation — may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity (身份). They have to build a new self-image.
Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷失方向). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security (安全). This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience— these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
56. When people move to a new country, they .
A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
B. are well prepared for the new surroundings
C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D. will never be familiar with the culture of the country
57. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except .
A. language communication B. weather conditions and customs
C. public service systems D. homesickness
58. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, .
A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad
B. the more difficulties you may have abroad
C. the more money you will earn abroad
D. the less homesick you may feel abroad
59. The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to .
A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment
B. develop a strange sense of self-protection
C. get familiar with new culture
D. return to our own country
B
People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist who sees the art museums, visit the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine learn? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, and how they feel about business, beauty and history. What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, and that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrast: the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.
60. Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage?
A. For education. B. For adventure.
C. To enjoy themselves. D. To look for a different lifestyle.
61. What do we learn from the passage about Paris?
A. It has a dense population.
B. It is a city of contrast.
C. There are 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway.
D. There are many museums and palaces.
62. What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong?
A. It has many big and beautiful parks.
B. It is a city of contrast.
C. It possesses many historical sites.
D. It is an important industrial center.
63. What does the passage tell us about traveling?
A. It makes our life more interesting.
B. It enables us to get first-hand knowledge.
C. It helps develop our personalities.
D. It brings about changes in our lifestyle.
C
In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time —two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near- zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
64. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?
A. To pay for his schooling. B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family. D. To gain some experience.
65. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT .
A. loading boxes in the freezing cold B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time D. getting no pay for lunch time
66. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The writer’s unhappy school life.
B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money
C. The writer’s experience as a full-time worker
D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.
67. How is the text organized?
A. Topic—Argument—Explanation
B. Opinion—Discussion—Description
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting example
D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion
D
He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention. “ Is your cab available(可用的)?” I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “ I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold. “ I am not in a hurry,” I told him. “ Go ahead and finish your letter.” He shook his head. “ I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.”“ Letters from home always mean a lot” I said.
“ This isn’t family,” he replied. “ Although it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other ‘Old Friend’—when we’d meet. I’m not much good at writing.”
“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “ I know I don’t, but I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?” “ All my life. We were kids together, went to school together and all the way through high school.” “ There are not too many people who’ve had such a long friendship,” I said. “ Actually,” the driver went on, “ I hadn’t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget.”
“ You said ‘was’. Does that mean----?” he nodded. “ A couple of weeks ago.” “ I’m sorry,” He didn’t say anything more, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me: “ I should have kept in touch with him.” “ Well,” I agreed, “ we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. First I had to write a letter---and mail it.
68．Why did the driver said sorry when the writer settled into the back seat? Because_______.
A. he didn’t want to take the passenger.
B. he didn’t notice the writer

How does television affect our lives? It can be helpful to those who carefully choose the programs that they watch and harmful to those who watch it too much.
In China, many people worry that children and young people are watching too much television. A survey of 300 youngsters in Shanghai last year showed that, on average, they spent half of their free time, that is, two and a half hours watching television. And two-thirds of an hour reading stories. Another survey of school-age children in Wuhan found that half of them said they read very little.
During the Barcelona Olympic Games, tens of millions of Chinese viewers stayed up late to watch the opening ceremonies and other programs. And television is quickly taking the place of printed material as the major source of news for most Chinese. A recent survey in Beijing found that 63% of those surveyed got their news from television through CCTV and other TV stations.
