21、Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show---The Big Bang Theory. He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.

This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.

Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang theory.

The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.

Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).

Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).

Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.

【1】What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to?

A. The director of the TV show and the founder of it.

B. The director and the actor of “The Big Bang Theory”.

C. The scientific genius on the TV show and the one in real life.

D. The founder of the “Big Bang” theory and Sheldon.

【2】The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.

A. how the universe started

B. what the universe is like

C. how old the universe is

D. how the universe exploded

【3】According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?

A. He was born with a disability.

B. He played an artist in Star Trek.

C. He uses a computer to communicate.

D. He believes aliens are our friends.

23、“Don't worry if you have problems!” It is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one．The only people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods．Most communities have at least one．We call them cemeteries．If you're breathing, you have difficulties．It's the way of life．And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain．

Maybe you have heard the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia．Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef．

On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question．"I notice that the lagoon （泻湖） side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed．Why is this?

The guide gave an interesting answer, "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival．It dies early．The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves and storms．It has to fight for its survival every day．As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts．It grows healthy．It grows strong．And it reproduces．"

Then he added, “That's the way it is with every living organism．”

That's how it is with people．Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow．Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger．Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency．Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness．So, you have problems? No problem! Just tell yourself, "There I grow again!"

Remember: A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner．

【1】Who has no problems according to the passage?

A．The persons who are very famous．

B．The persons who have much money．

C．The persons who have been born．

D．The persons who are living in the cemeteries．

【2】In the writer's opinion, ________．

A．problems bring us much trouble

B．problems have two sides, good or bad

C．we should try to stay away from any trouble

D．the fewer things we do, the less trouble we'll meet

【3】The reason why lagoon side of the reef has no life is _______．

A．it hasn't got any sunlight

B．it has less energy than others

C．it never faces any challenge and tests

D．it has no work to do every day

【4】After reading this passage, we should ________．

A．regard any problem as challenge

B．learn from the lagoon side

C．worry your problem

D．enter into cemeteries

24、It happens to all of us and can be beyond annoyance, so why do we itch? You know the feeling: There’s that spot on your arm, leg or back that just itches and begs for a deep, satisfying scratch. 【1】 No matter how much you scratch, it just can’t be satisfied.

As we all know, itchy skin is a sensation that makes us want to scratch—but as soon as you satisfy that need, you set off something called the itch-scratch cycle.【2】

The main reason that you feel itchy is that the skin cells or nerve endings near your skin have become annoyed. 【3】 When you itch, you give yourself a scratch, the area of the body that you have scratched releases chemicals including histamine, and it makes you itch more. That’s why we use antihistamines for allergic reactions but they can also help for insect bites and things like that.

【4】 The drier your skin becomes, the more likely the skin gets itchy. However, it is sometimes caused not from the skin, but from what you see or hear. When you hear someone else scratching their skin, or when you see images that suggest itch, like a picture of being bitten by a mosquito, you get the urge to scratch. People with the allergic condition seem to be more easily affected than those without the condition.【5】

A．Causes of itchy skin.

B．It is usually caused by dry skin.

C．It means you are going to end up feeling itchier.

D．Fortunately, there are ways you can get rid of it.

E．Being aware of this phenomenon can help interrupt its effect.

F．But you know giving in to that desire will only result in more problems.

G．Once you start scratching, your body creates a chemical reaction that makes you itchier.

25、   Rewards and punishments are used in different ways by different communities to maintain social order and to preserve cultural values. In all cultures, parents must teach their children to _______ the community's moral rules and to avoid danger. Adults also condition(训练) each other's observance of social norms, using methods ranging from _______ forms of disapproval such as looking away when someone makes an inappropriate remark, to putting to death individuals for behavior considered abnormal or dangerous. The caning(鞭打) of American teenager Michael Fay in Singapore in 1994 brought wide media attention to _______ differences in the application of punishment. Faced with increasing violence at home, many Americans prove Singapore's punishment to maintain social  _______. Was Fay's punishment effective? Whether he _______ avoids vandalism(故意破坏公物) is unknown, but the punishment did apparently lead to his avoidance of Singapore ———which he left promptly.

The techniques societies use to maintain social control _______ in part with the dangers and threats that confront them. The Gusii of Kenya, with a history of tribal warfare, face threats not only from outsiders but also from natural forces, including wild animals. Gusii parents tend to rely more on punishment and fear than on _______ in conditioning appropriate social behavior in their children. Caning, food deprivation, and _______ shelter and protection are common forms of punishment.

_______, the Mixtecans of Juxtiahuaca, Mexico, are a highly cohesive(有凝聚力的) community, with little internal conflict, and social norms that encourage __________. Their social patterns appear __________, for the Mixtecans are dominated by the nearby Spanish Mexicans, who control the official government and many economic resources in their region. The Mixtecans do not generally impose fines or jail sentences or use physical punishment to prevent aggression. Social rejection is the most feared punishment, and social ties within the community are very strong, so responses that __________ these ties are effective in maintaining social order.

In the United States, __________ of social rejection was a more powerful force in maintaining control over antisocial behavior, especially in small communities. Today, even imprisonment does not appear to be an adequate __________ to many forms of crime, especially violent crime. Although one reason is the inconsistent application of punishment, another may be the fact that imprisonment no longer carries the __________ shame it once had, so that prison is no longer as an effective punishment.
