A
Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.
In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honour.
36．Halley made his discovery________．
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the work of other scientists
D．by chance
37．Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the year________．
A．1704　　 B．1705　　　　C．1706　　　　　D．1707
38．This text in general is about________．
A．Halley and other scientists B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley D．Halley and his discovery
39．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist.
B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiment.
C．Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a round.

Scotland has long been characterized as a land of romance. It contains ruins of many ancient castles and abbeys，and there is an attractive beauty in its mountains，long deep valleys，and ribbon lakes. Each year those things attract a great number of tourists.
Numerous islands line the coast. In the north are two large groups，the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. Close to the west coast are the Inner and Outer Hebrides groups，and the islands of Arran and Bute.
The land may be divided into three regions: the Highlands in the north，the Central Lowlands and the Southern Uplands.
The Highlands are wild and picturesque(如画的)．A long valley called Glenmore crosses the Highlands from southwest to northeast.
In the south of the Highlands are the Grampian Mountains，highest in the British Isles. Ben Nevis，the highest peak，rises to 1，243 meters. Ben Lomond rises from the shore of Loch Lomond，Scotland's largest freshwater lake.
The Central Lowlands run from southwest to northeast and the greatest length is nearly 145 kilometers. The soil here is fertile，and there are four coalfields underlying the area. In the east is Edinburgh，Scotland's historic capital city，and in the west is Glasgow. Almost 90 percent of Scotland's population live in the Lowlands.
In the Southern Uplands，the hills are generally less than 600 meters high. Their rounded or flat tops are often capped with dark peat(泥炭)．Along the slopes are plants like grass and heather(石南花)．
40．According to the text，all the following things attract many tourists to Scotland EXCEPT ________．
A．ruins of ancient castles and abbeys
B．mountains and valleys
C．various animals and plants
D．ribbon lakes

Spending as little as $ 5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia found.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others—even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn，” said Elizabeth Dunn，a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
“No matter how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not，” Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn's team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus of between $ 3，000 and 8，000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro­social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself，” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $ 5 or $ 20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations—as little as $ 5—may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，” Dunn said.
44．What is the general idea of the passage?
A．The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.
B．Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.
C．If you spend money on someone else, you will feel happier.
D．You can spend only $ 5 a day on someone else to get happiness.　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　
45．The underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means________．
A．help to find B．help to bring C．help to increase D．help to get
46．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.
B．People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.
C．Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.
D．Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.
47．Dunn is ________．
A．an employee in a company
B．a psychologist at a university
C．a reporter in a journal
D．a volunteer in the experiment

Britain’s pub landlords (酒吧店主) are looking with a worried eye to the UK Chancellor’s budget for fear that the annual tax gathering round will strike another blow to a traditional industry already reeling (蹒跚). Thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash in 2007.
The Plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving Britain’s famous warm beer since the days of Shakespeare. Now it is under threat too. “Yeah. So many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said Derek O’Neil, the manager of The Plough Pub.
Many reasons are the cause—a ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all combined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, according to the British Beer and Pub Association. With the closures, pubs are being redeveloped. Many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.
Britain’s pubs continue to play an important part in the UK economy, selling thousands of different beers and employing more than a million people. The reality, though, is pubs are suffering something of a hangover (遗留物). In the last 15 years the amount of beer sold in pubs has fallen by eight million barrels to just under 36 million a year. Pub
