11、s forward in all of our creative activities, from science to art.When I was a child, after bedtime I would often go to the window and stare at the stars. I had so many questions. How far away were those tiny points of light? Did space go on forever and ever, or was there some edge? And if so, what l

12、ay beyond the edge?Another of my childhood questions: Did time go on forever? I looked at pictures of my parents and tried to imagine their parents, and so on, back through the generations. Does time go on forever? Or is there some beginning of time? When I grew up, I became a professional astrophys

13、icist. Although I never answered any of these questions, they continued to challenge me, to haunt me, to drive me in my scientific research, and to cause me to live on tuna fish and no sleep for days at a time while I was crazy about a science problem. These same questions, and questions like them,

14、challenge and haunt the leading scientists of today.Einstein once wrote that “the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the beginning of true art and true science.” What did Einstein mean by “the mysterious?” I dont think he meant that

15、 science is full of unpredictable or unknowable or supernatural forces. I think that he meant a sense of awe, a sense that there are things larger than us, that we do not have all the answers at this moment, and that we can stand right at the boundary between known and unknown.Scientists are happy,

16、of course, when they find answers to questions. But scientists are also happy when they become stuck, when they discover interesting questions that they cannot answer. That is when their imaginations and creativity are set on fire. That is when the greatest progress occurs.25. As a child, the author

18、he passage? A. Exact prediction. B. Creativity in experiments. C. Rich imagination. D. Exploration of the unknown. 28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Power of Mysteries.B. The Characters of Mysteries. C. The Significance of Science.D. The Beauty of Art.CAccording to s

19、cientists, a study of more than 50 plants and animals suggests their ability to adapt to changes in rainfall and temperature will be vastly outpaced by future climate change.Amphibians, reptiles and plants are harmed more easily in particular, according to US researchers. And tropical（热带的）species ar

20、e at higher risk than those in temperate zones. Some animals might be able to move geographically to deal with rising temperatures, but others live in remote areas where they cannot move, such as in nature reserves or on mountains or islands.Ecologists analyzed how quickly species had changed their

21、climatic niches (the conditions where they can survive) over time, and how these rates compared with that of global warming. They analyzed populations of plants and animals, including insects, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. Rates of change in climatic niches were much slower than rates of

22、projected climate change, by more than 200,000 fold for temperature on average, they said.“Overall, our results show that rates of climatic niche change among populations of plants and animals are remarkably slower than projected rates of future climate change,” said Tereza Jezkova and John Wiens, o

23、f the University of Arizona.Mammals might be better placed to survive than amphibians and reptiles, because they had the ability to regulate their own body temperatures, said Dr. Wiens. Besides, while some species might be able to move to higher latitudes(纬度) to survive, “for a lot of organisms, tha

24、t is not an option.” “Its a double danger of climate change and habitat destruction,” he added.29. What species are likely to suffer most?A. Mammals in temperate regions. B. Reptiles in temperate regions. C. Mammals in tropics. D. Amphibians in tropics.30. What does the underlined word “they” in Par

25、agraph 5 refer to?A. Amphibians.B. Mammals.C. Reptiles. D. Plants. 31. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Human beings should find some ways to fight against climate change.B. Many species will be unable to adapt fast enough to survive climate change. C. Climate change will cause great damage. D.

26、 Climate change is increasingly terrible.DFrom the first days of nursery school to the first days of college, parents and children are faced with feelings brought about by separation. Children of all ages may experience some anxiety about managing on their own. Young children are still struggling to

27、 control their impulses（冲动）and may need a parents presence to feel secure. Older children leaving home may experience their own anxiety about managing on their own due to homesickness.Childrens protests（抗议）about parents leaving them in a new situation often take the form of crying, which causes pare

28、nts considerable concern. Generally, childrens protesting behavior around separation gets the most attention. At times, a different point of view may arise between parents and teachers about the best way to handle the situation. Teachers may think a child will be fine if the parent just leaves, whil

29、e a parent may see the child as needing her presence. These roles are sometimes interchanged.Although it is the apparent upsets that get the most attention, when observing pre-school groups one can see the various ways children deal with the feelings aroused by separation. Some children deal with th

30、e situation by removing themselves from the group. In a recent observation, a little girl removed herself from the activity but continued to watch carefully everything that was going on.In another group, a more obvious separation scene took place. The mother seemed clearly prepared to stay while the

31、 boy joined the group on his own. He seemed most competent until his mother suddenly decided to leave. At that point the child broke down completely, crying pitifully different from the formerly competent boy.In situations like this one, mothers always wonder why their own child is not able to maste

32、r separating from them as other children do. But the real point here is that separation is a developmental step which children deal with in different ways. When children dont openly cry and protest, it doesnt mean they are not struggling to master the same feelings, each in his or her own way. It just means they express their feelings in a different way.32. How will children feel when they are separated from their parents?A. They will feel upset about relying on
