解析
1. 整个故事都是讲作者进餐的情况,hunger 和下文的dining-room 等单词自然联系上了。 2. 饿了的时候,胃是空的。 3. however (然而;可是)多插在句子中间,有时放在句首或句末,由逗号隔开。本题空格后有逗号,故选D。 4. feed sb. =" give" food to sb. 提供的饭菜较好,而不单纯指吃这个动作。 5. what 在这里引导主语从句在从句中做wanted 的宾语。 6. prepare (sb.)ready for , 而且下面谈到了做准备的过程。 7. say应有宾语,句中what 起宾语作用。对我要说的话做了认真的准备。即在饭店里要用哪些词。explain要有explain sth to sb。 8. 从句子结构看,句中需要一个连接词来引导宾语从句。所以要选that而不是其他的介词。 9. 练习单词的拼写或搞懂词义不一定对着镜子练,故排除其他选项。 10.该句的含义是:“那位男服务员问了些我听不懂的话”。如果填入D的话,句子的含义为“问我有什么不懂的”,这就违背了句子的意愿。 11. 他答非所问,男招待迷惑不解。 12. unbelievable的意思是“难以置信”。英国人不懂自己的语言,真令人难以置信。作者只是惊讶,而未遗憾。 13. 男招待摇头表示没听懂。bowed his head 表示相反的含义。 14. 他饿极了,吃光了食物,与故事开头相呼应。 15. 吃下了许多食物使这位男招待着实有点吃惊。 16. 难得说清楚这位男招待的表情。tell有“辨别”的意思。 17. another 常表示“另一”。如: Drink another glass of milk. 18. must have done 表示对过去事情的肯定推测。 19. heavy 是一般用语,weighty 多用于比喻。吃了许多食物,至少重了五磅。 20. 根据故事结尾而得到答案。I met my Waterloo =" I" was completely defeated (Napoleon was defeated at Wateloo in 1815.) |

Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolsexperiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish? Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important. Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be. Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything. But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics. Scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science. 1. 小题1:The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ____.A.was a great English scientist | B.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult | C.thought even the simplest thing was important | D.didn’t get well with others | 2.小题2:The phrase “set aside” most probably means____ .A.throw away | B.store up | C.put to use | D.realize | 3. 小题3:The author of the passage tries to ________.A.convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world | B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things | C.prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed | D.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us | 4小题4:Which of the following is TRUE?A.Darwin really did fools experiments. | B.According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments. | C.It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple. | D.Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics. |

Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers(哲人) of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador (大使) . Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament (议会). His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method. One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time. 5. 小题1:According to the passage we know that ____.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of England | B.Francis Bacon had good education | C.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15 | D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23 | 6. 小题2:The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means____. A.to discover general laws from particular facts or examples | B.to reach a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular case | C.to study things as they used to be | D.to study things in a particular way | 7. 小题3:Which of the following is NOT true? A.Bacon was a learned man. | B.Bacon did a lot of philosophy. | C.The inductive reasoning was widely used both today and in Bacon’s time. | D.Bacon gave scientists much useful advice. |
