He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was.

Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

A), B), C) and D). you should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding

The territory that now makes up the United States was settled by people from England, France, Holland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and other countries. The Indians, of course, were already there.
Naturally, the nationalities in the colonies called one another by slang terms. Often the slang terms came from some name that was popular among a particular group. The equivalent of the English name James, for instance, is the common Spanish name Diego, pronounced ―dee-ay’goh‖. That gives rise to the insulting word Dago applied to a Spaniard or to other South Europeans, such as the Italians.
The English in Connecticut were subjected to this same irritating device by the Dutch who, prior to 1664, occupied New Amsterdam (later New York). A common name among the English is John and to the Dutch this was Jan, pronounced ―yan‖. What was more natural than for the Dutch to call any Englishman Jan? To make it more condescending and insulting, they used the diminutive form Janke (equivalent to Johnikins in English). This was pronounced ―yan kuh‖ and that easily became Yankee.
The term, which originally applied to natives of Connecticut, later applied to all New Englanders and was eventually given to all Northerners by the Southerners and to all Americans by people of other countries.
21. The word Dago comes from the _____.
A). Dutch language B). English language
C). Spanish language D). The article does not say
22. The word Yankee stems from the _____.
A) Spanish word for James B). Dutch word for John
C). English name Johnikins D). Italian word for Diego
23. The word Yankee first referred to people in _____.
A). Connecticut B). New England
C). the northern states of the United States D). all of the above
24. Both Yankee and Dago are based on _____.
A). common first names B). diminutive name forms
C). last names D). nicknames
25. This selection mainly traces _____.
A) which nationalities settled the United States
B) how two slang terms originated and spread
C) why Dago is an insulting word
D) who introduced the word Yankee
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or statements are numbered 41 through 45.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to$125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobe l’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
26. When did the first award ceremony take place?
A). 1895 B). 1901 C).1962 D). 1968
27. Why was the Nobel Prize established?
A) To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.

When Tsinghua University was first established in 1911, it had the name "Tsinghua School" and was merely a preparatory school for the students who were sent by the government to study in the United States of America. Located in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing, Tsinghua University was built on the site of "Qing Hua Y uan" --- the former royal garden of the Qing Dynasty (清朝)。In 1928, the scholl became the National Tsinghua University. After the Resistance War against Japanese Aggression (抗日战争) broke out in 1937, Tsinghua University was moved to Kunming Yunnan Province and merged into the Southwest Associated University together with Peking University and Nankai University. In 1946, Tsinghua University returned to its original campus in Beijing, having five schools: Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Law and Agriculture. With the nationwide restructuring of university, since the 1980', the University has gradually restored some disciplines(学科) and set up new disciplines.

Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked
A), B), C) and D). you should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding
letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus called ―Mellissa‖ that disguises itself as ―important message‖ from a friend.
Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday. The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first work day by making computers send off dozens of e-mails containing the virus. Although the virus had no long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.
Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institutions' systems.
The body of e-mail message says, ―Here is what you ask for…‖ once the user opens it, the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 address. The reason why the virus spread so rapidly is that you’re getting it from people you know and trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected e-mail with the ―Important Message‖ subject line is advised not to open it and to delete it immediately.
21. After reading the article, we know that the virus attacked thousands of computers on _____.
A). Monday B). Saturday
C). Friday D). the first day of the month
22. The virus spread rapidly because _____.

D) it attacks military and government offices
23. The word ―disguises‖ (line 2, Para 1) means _____.
A). discover B). cover C). paint D). notice
24. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A) The computer attacked by the virus won’t work properly.
B) Thousands of computers were attacked by the virus one by one.
C) The ―Important Message‖ carries important message from a friend
D) Any computer with an e-mail system will be attacked by the virus.
25. Which of the following is the best title for this article?

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or statements are numbered 41 through 45.
The bee, like the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the drones (male bees) and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar (the sweet liquid collected by bees from flowers). Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes(酶) in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly-made honey zone(渗出物) passes slowly through the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hive and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.
26. Bees are called social insects because they _____.
A). live in groups B). live near people
C). need beekeepers D). work hard
27. What do bees do with nectar?
A) They change it into sugar.
B) They change it into honey.
C) They give it to the queen bee.
D) They use it to build their hives.
28. Honey is usually sold in _____.
A). beehives B). golden-colored packs
C). honey sacks D). bottles and jars
29. The color of honey in its final stage depends on the _____.
A) type of flower from which the nectar was taken
B) amount of sugar the beekeepers give the bees
C) quantity of water that the bees need
D) season in which the nectar is collected
30. What is the best title of this passage?
A) Social Habits of Bees
B) The Work of Beekeepers
C) The Production of Honey
D) The Three Types of Bees
Task 3
Directions: After reading the following passage, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 through 50 in the table below.
Hunza is a small land high in the mountains. Today it is part of the country of Pakistan. People in Hunza seem to grow old very slowly. Women who look 35 may really be 60. Men in their eighties play games like soccer. Many people in Hunza live to be over 100. Some even reach 130.
What gives the Hunzakuts their wonderful health? Why do they live such long lives? Now that a few scientists have visited Hunza, we can begin to answer these questions. Here are some of the reasons.
First of all, the Hunzakuts lead simple lives. From our point of view, they seem to have few worries. Most of them work long hours caring for small farms. They awake early and go to bed at sundown. Money worries are unknown because they seldom use money. They don't worry about crime because there are no criminals in Hunza. Jobs are not a problem since rich soil gives work to everybody.
Secondly the Hunzakuts spend a good part of each day either praying or resting. When they get up in the morning they pray for a while. Then all day long they work slowly and steadily. They stop now and then for a rest.
Lastly the Hunzakuts' plain diet is full of vitamins and minerals. They eat a lot of vegetables, but very little meat. They love fruits. All food goes right from the land to the table.

一、视听说教程 Unit 1 Life is a learning curve 1、Long conversation M: Miranda, let's speak about your performance in class. You're not participating; you're careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don't want to be here, do you? W: I'm sorry Dr. Smith. It's just ... I've got lots of things to do. I'm studying Web design and I'm a first-class player on our golf team. It's hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language class! M: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico. W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I'm supposed to learn Spanish —on top of everything else I have to learn? It's just too much! And if I don't spend enough time on the golf course, I won't remain a first-class player on the golf team. I still don't see why I should learn a language that's so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design! M: Listen Miranda, I've known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago —and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen. W: Yes, of course, you're like my favorite uncle. M: Your brain isn't like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it's like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity. W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try. Question： 1、How is the woman doing in the man's class? 2、What does the woman think of learning Spanish? 3、What do we know from this conversation about the man? 4、What is the woman most likely to do after talking with the man? 2、passage 2 Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the traditional school environment, the lack of
