There are tons of physics textbooks available around the world. Based on our web research, here are
The Feynman Lectures on Physics
our top four picks with the introduction of physics in simple, practical language.
Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics
Richard Feynman is regarded as one of the greatest teachers of physics to walk the face of the earth.
This book is a collection of Feynman’s lectures. In his words, these lectures all began as an experiment,
which, in turn, formed the basis of this book.
This book is a collection of online teachings by Professor R. Shankar. Shankar is one of the first to
be involved in the innovative Open Yale Courses program. It is a perfect introduction to college-level
physics. Students of chemistry, engineering, and AP Physics will find this book helpful.
Physics for Students of Science and Engineering
University Physics with Modern Physics
The book is recognized for teaching and applying principles of physics through a narrative (叙事的)
method. To ensure a better understanding and ability to apply these concepts, worked examples are
provided, giving students tools to develop problem-solving skills and conceptual understanding.
This book helps students to read scientific data, answer scientific questions, and identify
fundamental concepts. The new and improved 10th edition features multi-media resources, and questions
to test students’ understanding of each concept.

1. What do the first two books have in common?
A. They are improved editions.

B. They are written by professors.
C. They favor students of engineering.
D. They feature multi-media resources.
2. Which book best suits students who enjoy learning physics through practical examples?
A. Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics.
B. Physics for Students of Science and Engineering.
C. The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
D. University Physics with Modern Physics.
3. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. An online article.
across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and
landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before.
As a journalist, I was so lucky to make a journey with Abeid. We were up at 3 a.m.. Abeid walked
into the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Moments later, he was instructing me to get into
it. With barely time to catch my breath, he gave a long blast (猛吹) on the burners and the basket tipped

upright.
Over the following days, we gasped at the joy and wonder of the sky; at the beauty and complexity
of the land beneath us. There was no fear, just a sense of being part of something fantastic as we floated
in the silence of the African sky.
But not everything went entirely to Abeid's carefully worked-out plan. The rains that had started to
fall every afternoon slowed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km short of the destination. Luckily,
we finally made the crossing the next morning.
B. A research paper.
C. A physics textbook.
D. A science journal.
When we were returning to the land, crowds of people shouted and waved. Many children looked up
as we flew over them, and started to run. As Abeid brought the balloon down, people gathered around the
balloon, pressing against the basket. Those children were also there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide
with amazement. Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping
some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited
crowd
B
Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring 翱翔) through the
sky. Due to financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead.
Abeid didn't give up. He became a chief pilot of hot air ballooning at the age of 20. His passion for
flying was matched by his skill both as a pilot and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea of flying
running alongside.
C
I realized that Abeid's journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and
the joy of sharing one's passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I
knew that Abeid's story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti
Is diet soda safe? If you’re concerned about sugar, diet products seem a better option, sweet and not
so bad for you. Wrong! Drinking diet soda regularly can increase your risk of diseases. Despite the fact
that we call these drinks “diet”, the artificial sweeteners they contain are linked to weight gain, not loss.
There’s the latest evidence that they increase the risk of depression, which comes from a new
analysis by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The team drew upon a data set of nearly 32,000
female nurses, ages 42 to 62 when the study began. It turned out that the nurses who consumed the most
diet drinks had a 37 percent higher chance of depression, compared to those who drank the least or none.
Diet soda also increases your risk of stroke (中风), according to a separate meta-analysis that

5.Which of the following best describes the journey across the Serengeti?
A. Smooth. B. Pioneering. C. Painful. D. Eco-friendly.
6.What agreement did Abeid and the author reach?
A. Showing their technical skills.
included 72 studies. Looking for the causes behind the stroke, researchers took various blood
measurements when 12 healthy volunteers in their 20s drank water, soda, or diet soda. The result showed
that both sodas slowed the flow of blood within the brain. Though the effect didn’t seem sufficient to
cause stroke, slower blood flow could have accumulating effects.
B. Teaching the children to be a pilot.
C. Taking the children for a ride.
D. Attracting people to their show.
Other researchers have found that diet soda increases the risk of dementia (痴呆), from data from

7.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Beautiful View: from East to West
B. A Balloon Adventure: the Dream Soaring High
C. Different Job Experiences: from a Guide to a Pilot
D. A Wildlife Exploration: the Unforgettable Experience
nearly 178,000 volunteers tracked over an average of nine years. That’s not a big surprise. An earlier
study of about 4,300 volunteers concluded that drinking diet soda every day was tied to three times the
risk of dementia over the following decade. The researchers looked at brain scans and the results of
mental function assessments. A daily diet soda was linked to smaller brains and aggravates long-term
memory, two risk factors for dementia.

Avoiding depression, stroke, and dementia is an obvious goal for whoever desires to age healthily.
So you know what to do.
A. Slight weight loss.
B. Increased blood flow.

C. Prediction of the unemployment problem.
D. Explanations of the concept of the automation age.
33. What might happen in 2055 according to the text?
A. Automation will cause weak productivity growth.
B. Automation will reduce employees’ wages.
C. Activities like data collection and processing will disappear.
D. Activities involve feeling emotions can be performed by robots.
D
Recent developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have brought us in the
eye of the storm of a new automation age. About half of the work carried out by people was likely to be
automated by 2055 with adaption to technology, a McKinsey Global Institute report predicted.
Automation can enable businesses to improve performance by reducing errors and improving
quality and speed, and in some cases achieving outcomes that go beyond human capabilities. At a time of
weak productivity growth worldwide, automation technologies can provide the much-needed promotion
of economic growth, according to the report. Automation could raise productivity growth globally by 0.8
percent to 1.4 percent. At a global level, technically automated activities involved 1.1 billion employees
and 11.9 trillion U.S. dollars in wages, the report said.

4. How does the author feel about human workers?
A. Worried.
B. Mixed.
D. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic.

5. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Automation: A challenge to all?
B. Automation: Where to go from here?
C. Automation: Who is the eventual winner?
The report also showed that activities most influenced by automation were physical ones in highly
structured and predictable environments, as well as data collection and processing. In the United States,
these activities make up 51 percent of activities in the economy, accounting for almost 2.7 trillion dollars
in wages. They are most common in production, accommodation and food service, and the retail (零售)
D. Automation: A future replacement for humans?

trade. And it’s not just low-skill, low-wage work that is likely to be influenced by automation; middle-
skill and high-paying, high-skill occupations, too, have a degree of automation potential.
The robots and computers not only can perform a range of routine physical work activities better
and more cheaply than humans, but are also increasingly capable of accomplishing activities that require
cognitive (认知的) capabilities, such as feeling emotions or driving.
Sustainable travel is now one of the fastest-growing movements. Its goal is to meet the needs of the
tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments. 36 Here are some concrete ways
to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler.

7 Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away. It’s the art of exploration,
discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby. Find somewhere
nearby you haven’t been, get in your car, and go for a visit. You never know what you’ll come across.
Make greener transportation choices. After walking, public transportation is the next best way to
explore new destinations. 38 When it comes to longer distances, buses and trains are your best way of
crowds and lower prices, and you also won’t be putting as much pressure on local communities
struggling to keep up. And, from a personal-enjoyment point of view, who wants to deal with crowds or

may be replaced and therefore lose their financial resources, the analysis shows that humans will still be

Avoid over-visited destinations. If you can, avoid places with over-tourism. You’ll find fewer
