clear.Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a childrens book designed to communicate contemporary physics.Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science？Will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers?Georges Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains(反面人物)and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line­drawings.It involves a lost pig，a humorously portrayed(描寫)intelligent computer，school bulies and a trip through the Solar System.Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics，such as supernova explosions and black­hole physics are hung on this set­up.There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy，and some photographs of astronomical phenomena：planets，comets，galaxies(星系)and so on.Overall，the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics，within a science­fiction adventure story.The mixture is great.Children love facts and adventure stories.The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours.After ten minutes of leafing through the book，my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review.Like any educational tool，it will succeed for some and not for others.I suppose there should be more of the former.16Where do you think this passage is taken?AFrom a news story.BFrom a textbook.CFrom a book review.DFrom an

successful.BIt will be more successful.CIt will be a complete failure.DIt all depends on Ruby.解析：推理判斷題。由文章最后一段的內(nèi)容可知這本書更成功。答案：B19The underlined word “l(fā)eafing”(in the last paragraph)probably means _.Aadding leaves to a bookBthrowing away a bookCtearing up a bookDturning pages of a book解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。由文章最后一段中的“my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed”可猜測(cè)leafing是“翻書頁(yè)”的意思。答案：DBLike most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.Remember your mothers age.As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual，age does not change our view; she is still our mother.Knowing our mothers age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.Listen to your mother.I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you.Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life. Niclles mother suffered much during the Second World War. “My parents are both Jewish­Turkish. They met in France and married young for love. They were in their twenties when war broke out and because they were Jews，they had to go into hiding. She does speak to me about the war, and I think it is important to know what she went through. It is a part of her life that must have affected her deeply.”Sometimes, in learning about our mothers past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life.Ask your mother about your childhood history.My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw(拼圖)puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.Keep a sense of humor about your mother. I have often listened to stories of difficult mothers and I have also listened to the following piece of advice which I have found most helpful：Dont have a sense of humor failure about your mother.Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself.No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. Only then are you able to accept your motherwith all her failings.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】 本文重點(diǎn)討論了如何與母親處理好關(guān)系的問題。身為人子，都要學(xué)會(huì)：記住母親的年齡，傾聽母親的心聲，了解母親關(guān)于自己兒時(shí)的敘述，用幽默感染母親，善待母親其實(shí)就是善待自己。20The followings are the steps you can take to get on with your mother EXCEPT _ .Aremembering your mothers ageBsharing your roots and your childhood with your motherChaving a sense of humor failure about your motherDmanaging yourself while managing your mother解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A直接可從第二段的標(biāo)題中得出；根據(jù)第四段最后一句得出B 項(xiàng)(和母親一起分享家族史和自己的童年)；C項(xiàng)應(yīng)該是：Dont have a sense of humor failure about your mother；D項(xiàng)與最后一條的標(biāo)題吻合。答案：C21What does the underlined word “them”refer to in the first paragraph?Aprojects.
