We rarely drive the truck because Papa fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor. When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we dont breathe
5、in the dirt. On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in. Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the fie

7、 safe, and then headed off to the field. The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night. By the time I entered the cow field the fine sand was whipping across my face. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back. The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees.
8、Although I was terrified, I refused to turn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the trucks lights on and off, hoping that Papa would see them flashing, but the sandstorm let no light
9、 escape. Then I pushed the horn again and again, so Papa would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms. Suddenly, Papas face appeared at the window. My heart leaped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He then pulled me into his arms an
10、d said, “Oh, Iris, you saved me!” Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. Dirt was piled up to the window on one side of the truck and halfway up the door on the other. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out. Sand and soil drifts were everywhere, but we we

This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed t
23、he exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk. The main Silk Road started in Changan (known today as Xian), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city co
24、uld take a northern route that would take them across Chinas northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road. The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders
25、to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels. So, rest stops were created along the rou
26、te, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a days journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert,
27、which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road. Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils. 8. The underlin

Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the pu
37、blic baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced making the displaced water an exact measure of his volume. Realizing he has hit upon a method to determine whether the Kings crown was made of gold or silver, the young Greek leaps out of the bath and rushe
38、s home naked crying “Eureka! Eureka!” Or, translated: “Ive found it! Ive found it!” Too bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the phrase in that way. First and foremost, Archimedes himself never wrote about this episode, although he spent plenty of time detailing the laws of buoyancy (浮力).
39、 The oldest authority for the naked-Archimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his ninth book of architecture. “Vitruvius may have gotten it wrong,” says Chris Schmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a self-described Archimedes
40、 fan. “The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that the real world gets in the way.” In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scientists, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “That cant be right
41、.” As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale. In fact, the surface tension of water can make the volume of a light object like a crown immeasurable. “There may be some truth to it,” Schmitt adds. “Archimedes did mea
42、sure the volume of things but the eureka moment was maybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub and then running through the streets naked.” Much like Newtons apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life
43、 in the balance, a naked mathematician. The suspect foundations of the eureka moment take nothing away from the words ability to uniquely and concisely convey the flash of inspiration. 12. According to the first paragraph, how would Archimedes measure the volume of the crown? A. He would weigh himse
44、lf with and without the crown. B. He would weigh the crown first and then put it into water. C. He would go to the public baths wearing the crown on his head. D. He would sink the crown into water and measure the water displaced. 13. What did Galileo probably think of the naked-Archimedes eureka sto
45、ry? A. He believed the word “eureka” was said in another situation. B. He suspected Archimedes didnt run through the street naked. C. He doubted Archimedes carried out the experiment independently. D. He thought Archimedes would not have used the method described. 14. What can be inferred from the u
46、nderlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. The word “eureka” is still widely used today. B. The word “eureka” is now a formal scientific term. C. Most people accept the authenticity of the original story. D. People are still inspired by the achievements of Archimedes. 15. What is the purpose of th
47、is text? A. To introduce the famous scientist Archimedes. B To examine the credibility of the eureka story. C. To explain how the word “eureka” was created. D. To urge people not to use the word “eureka” anymore. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要为论证阿基米德灵感迸发故事的可信度，文章从不同的角度来说明这个故事不 一定是真的。而
48、故事的可疑性，并不影响“eureka”一词独特而简明地表达灵感闪现的能力。 【12 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中 Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the public baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced making the displaced water an exact measure of his volume.可知，阿基米德接受了挑战，在随后
49、的一次公共浴室之行中，他意识到，他的身 体越往水里沉，排出的水就越多这使得排出的水成为他身体体积的精确量度。由此可推知，阿基米德 会将王冠沉入水中，再测排出的水的重量来测量皇冠的重量。故选 D。 【13 题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中 As Galileo wrote, Archimedes could have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale.可知，正如伽利略所写的，阿基米德本可以利用他自己的浮力 定律和精确的比例尺得到更精确的结果。由此可知，伽利略认为阿基米德不会使用所描述的方法。故选 D。 【14 题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文 Much like Newtons apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician.可知，就像牛顿的苹果一样，这个感叹词之 所以能持续存在，是因为这个故事有
