(1)

　　In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
　　If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00 am. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him (or to the natives) that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.

41. According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American?

A Very impolite.  B Not usual

C Very urgent 　  D Not necessary

42. At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance?

A 11:00 am  B 11:30 pm  C 5:00 am  D 12:00 am

43. Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him up?

A To have a talk with him.

B To inform him of their decision.

C To discuss a problem with him.

D To tell him a problem they met with.

44. What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives' arrival?

A He thought the native were mad.

B He didn't take it seriously.

C He called in a policeman to talk with the native.

D He believed there was a fight and called the police at once.

45. What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at midnight?

A Concern 　  B Fear

C Excitement  D All of the above.

　　In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately 8 hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks (闸锁) each year.

　　Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
　　I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin (下巴).
　　The first notes (曲调) I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stooping secretly tossed （仍） a penny into my hat, as though getting rid of （摆脱）some guilty evidence.
　　Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
　　I worked there for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the trade by trial and error （反复实验）. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing doing soon became a regular rule.

　　Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer: "I put out fire" or "I fix sick people" or "I teach primary school". As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley (硅谷). With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable - and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we're up to - is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as "What is the nature of Reality?"
　　We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of mater. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.
　　So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.

56. According to the passage, in a way physicists are ____.

A intelligent  B comfortable

C strange　　  D unlucky

57. Judging from the context, the word "guru" in the first paragraph most probably means a person ____.

A who acts as a teacher and answers big questions.

B who gives wrong answers to big questions.

C who does not like to answer big questions

D who is eager to supply answers to big questions.

58. Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists?

A physicists do not like their job.

B physicists live in two different worlds.

C physicists are coming up with new answers to old questions.

D physicists don't have to tell people what they are doing.

59. Which of the following statements is true?

A Theoretical physicists only have to answer the basic questions about the world.

B Theoretical physicists contributed o the new industry in Silicon Valley.

C Theoretical physicists have disappointed the expectations of many people.

D Theoretical physicists have found it hard to make friends with ordinary people.

60. Which of the following is true about the job of physicist?

A It is getting more and more difficult.

B It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

C A person with average intelligence can not do it.

D Both A & B
