AIt was 1504, and Columbus was making another trip to the New World. Columbus and his men needed fresh water and food after three months at sea. They saw an island and went on shore. On the island there were unfriendly Indians who refused to give food to them. Columbus' men were afraid of the Indians, but he had a clever plan. He used body language to tell the Indians about his mysterious (神秘的) power to turn off the light in the sky. He knew about a lunar eclipse (月蚀) the next night because the information was in his almanac (天文历书). Columbus told the Indians, "Tomorrow night I'll turn off the light in the sky." But they didn't believe him. When the eclipse began the next night, the Indians became very frightened. They begged Columbus to turn on the light again, and they quickly gave him all the food and water he wanted. Immediately Columbus and his men hurried back to the ship and sailed away in the moonless night.21.

I never thought an ice cream man would circle our campus and come for us, overgrown kids. I was intrigued and wanted to investigate(调查) further.I was quite surprised when the man in the truck called out,“free ice cream!”I questioned him just to make sure of his words, saying, “I’m sorry, what did you say?”“Free ice cream. you have your choice of these four frozen treats: the rocket pop, the chocolate éclair, the strawberry shortcake, or the drumstick.”After I was certain that this guy was just giving away free ice cream, I talked with the man for a while. He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that’s exactly what he did. So his passion was expressed through using up all his credit cards, sleeping in his truck, and living with his mom in a small flat, so he could continue to follow his dream during hard times. Now, he has sponsorships(赞助)from large companies such as Levi’s to do what he loves, and he’s gifted 125,000 of his truckload of ice cream treats!The ice cream man told me that he was interested in inspiring people to do exactly what their hearts tell them to do in life. I kept asking him with respect, “so your dream was to just drive around and give away ice cream?” It seemed like such a special goal.“Yes, just meeting people and making them smile,” he replied.25.

I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its articles. This magazine is a MUST HAVE for any dog lover!!Dog FancyCover Price: $54.00 Price: $14.99 ($1.25 / issue)You save: $39.01 (72%) Review: By Berner MomDon't waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and the articles offer little useful information.

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 simplethey seemed to be.Suppose you drop two sheets of paper which 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 little ball and let it drop along with the other sheet. 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.Science 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 (基础) of science.32. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ________.A. was a great English scientist.B. didn’t get on well with others.C. thought even the simplest thing was important.D. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult.33. The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means “________”A. realizeB. store upC. put to useD. throw away34. The author of the passage tries to ________.A. convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the worldB. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple thingsC. prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speedD. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us.35. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Darwin really did foolish experiments.B. It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.C. According to some people, Darwin did foolish experiments.D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
