(200年前“马力”这个词首次使用。) James Watt had made the first widely used steam（蒸气）engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring（测量）power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.6.The passagesays that Watt made the first widely used steam engine.A.TB.F答案：A7.Watt made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.A.TB.F答案：A8.Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight.A.TB.F答案：B9.One horsepower would equal the weight a horse could lift.A.TB.F答案：B10.The title of the passageis How the Term Horsepower Came into Being.A.TB.F答案：AWhat makes a person a scientist? (是什么使一个人成为科学家？) Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? _A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? _A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、词汇与语法16.When Laura finally arrived she apologized _ so late.A.for to comeB.that she was comingC.for comingD.to come答案：C17.Samuel Clemens, _ as Mark Twain, was one of the most famous American writers.A.to knowB.to be knownC.knownD.knowing答案：C18.She is not only my classmate _ also my good friend.A.orB.but
