21、Passage Nine (Holmes’ Knowledge)
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.
“You appear to be astonished,” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”
“But the Solar System!” I protested.
“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life,” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
“From a drop of water,” said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it.”
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
【1】What is the author’s attitude toward Holmes?
A．Praising.
B．Critical.
C．Ironical.
D．Distaste.
【2】What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?
A．By deduction.
B．By explanation.
C．By contrast.
D．By analysis.
【3】What was the Holmes’ idea about knowledge-learning?
A．Learning what every body learned.
B．Learning what was useful to you.
C．Learning whatever you came across.
D．Learning what was different to you.
【4】What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?
A．One may master the way of reasoning through observation.
B．One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.
C．One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.
D．One may become practical through observation and analysis.

23、What if our city streets could act like forests and reduce pollution? Thanks to scientific innovation, roads treated with a new pavement technology can now eat smog and help keep cities cool. Since there is little room for forests in urban areas, where air pollution actually occurs, Pavement Technology Inc. (PTI), together with researchers from Louisiana State University, came up with an asphalt spray (沥青喷雾) called A.R.A.-1 Ti.
The spray's exact composition hasn't been revealed, but it is known to be based on titanium oxide (二氧化钛), a component contained in many sunscreens on the market. When ultraviolet rays(紫外线) from the sun activate this chemical substance, light and heat are absorbed and moved apart. Through a chemical process, titanium oxide also breaks down poisonous substances in the air. “In good conditions, we can achieve a 60% reduction”, said Michael Durante, PTI's vice president of finance and strategic planning. But the spray is not only meant to address overheating and to remove harmful gases produced by cars. It can also make aging asphalt stronger, preventing breaks generated by severe heat.
These impressive characteristics have encouraged several cities in the US to try out the product. The success stories keep adding up. At Orlando International Airport, taxiway pavements that had been sprayed with the titanium dioxide-based composition have already managed to reduce nitrogen oxide(一氧化氮) rates by half. And in Charleston,the pavement treatment is being used in low-income neighborhoods that have many asphalt-coated roads.
The company suggests that while heat shortens pavement life, their product's components can extend it from five to ten years, which translates the pavements into sustainable roads. And although green spaces are still necessary and cannot be fully replaced due to their multiple environmental and health benefits, innovations like A.R.A.-1 Ti are extremely promising. We may expect to see the major benefits it can bring to public health, positively affecting the lives of billions living in urban areas worldwide.
【1】What is the function of the asphalt spray according to paragraph 1?
A．To effectively protect forests.
B．To relieve traffic jams in city streets.
C．To reduce urban heat and air pollution.
D．To detect the weather and road conditions.
【2】What can we know about the asphalt spray according to paragraph 2?
A．It extends life of roads.
B．It blocks out ultraviolet light.
C．It is produced by sunscreens' components.
D．It may absorb harmful substances in the air.
【3】What are examples in paragraph 3 mentioned for?
A．To impress the importance of the invention.
B．To prove the successful application of the spray.
C．To emphasis the necessity of the road treatment.
D．To show the increasing popularity of the product.
【4】Which could be the best title for the text?
A．A Major Reform in Urban Construction
B．Green Spaces: The Access to Public Health
C．The Bright Prospect of the Pavement Technology
D．A New Asphalt Spray: The Welfare to Urban Areas
24、 We spend around one third of our lives in bed, and the body does a lot of its repair work as we sleep, so sufficient good quality sleep is very important to our health. It doesn't stop there,though-- some sleep positions are healthier than others. So which sleep position is the healthiest?
Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position. Health benefits include avoiding back and neck pain. Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back, this position is best for people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux (胃酸逆流) as well. Around 80% of heartburn (胃灼热) sufferers have problems during the night, so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a good night's sleep. If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition, try raising the head of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.
When you sleep on your back, your face is in a natural position. This means less wrinkles（皱纹）. If you really can't face sleeping on your back, another healthy sleep position is the side sleep. It's almost as good as the back position, and it's better for people who snore(打鼾) and their partners. Whichever sleep position you choose, use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without raising the head unnaturally, as this can bring neck pain.
【1】Which is NOT one of the benefits of sleeping on the back?
A．It can avoid acid reflux.
B．It makes people look younger.
C．It helps people get rid of stomach pain.
D．It's good for heartburn sufferers.
【2】The underlined word“alleviate" in Paragraph 2 probably means '
A．make it worse
B．make it bigger
C．make it less useful
D．make it less serious
【3】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Ways to keep us healthy .
B．The importance of sleep.
C．Healthy positions of sleep.
D．Sleep's repairing functions.
【4】In which part of a magazine may the article appear?
A．Science fiction.
B．Sports.
