How can a single stamp be worth $ 16 800？

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony (殖民地) of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer—Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius ' Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally marked the words " Post Office" instead of " Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.

Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left—fourteen One-Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two-Penny Blues. Because of the Two-Penny Blue's rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16800 for it.

Mauritius is the name of______.

A．an island kingdom

B．a British colony

C．a province of India

D．a London printer

Anyone who has ridden on a railroad train knows how rapidly another train【36】by when it is

traveling in the【37】direction and conversely how it may look almost【38】when it is moving in the same direction.【39】a train at a station starts to move forward【40】gently that passengers feels no backward movement【41】.Then if they happened to【42】the window and see another train slide past on the next track, they have no way of knowing【43】train is in motion and which is at rest;【44】can they tell how fast either one is moving or in which direction The only way they can judge their【45】is by looking out the other side of the car for some fixed body of reference【46】the station platform. or a single fight. Newton was【47】these tricks of motion, only he thought in terms of ships. He knew that on a calm day at sea a sailor can shave himself or drink soup as【48】as when his ship is lying motionless in harbor. The water in his basin, the soup in his bowl, will remain【49】whether the ship is making five knots, 15 knots or 25 knots. So【50】he looks hard at the sea it will be【51】for him to know how fast his ship is moving or indeed if it is moving at all. Of course, if the sea should get rough or the ship changes course suddenly,【52】he will sense his state of motion. But even supposing that we have the idealized conditions of a glass calm sea and a silent ship, nothing that happens below decks -- no amount of observation or mechanical experiment performed inside the ship --will reveal its velocity through the sea. The physical【53】based on these facts was formulated by Newton in 1687."The motions of bodies included in a given space , he wrote, "are the same【54】themselves, whether that space is at rest or moves uniformly【55】in a straight line."

第3题

Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in

view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere--the realm of weather events- is roughly four times the volume of the world's oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form. of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth's surface, it would form. a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year？ How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours？ The answer is that rain yielding air masses are in motion, and as the driving air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.

The basic source of most water vapor is the ocean, evaporation, vapor transport, and precipitation (陈雨) make up the continuous movement of water from ocean to atmosphere to land and back to the sea. Rivers return water the sea. In an underground arc (弧) of the cycle, flowing bodies of water discharge some water directly into rivers and some directly to the sea.

What might have been discussed before this passage？

A．The ocean.

B．The earth.

C．The rainfall.

D．The atmosphere.

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power o

f absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

(79)When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to "look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)", and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. (80) If you try to master every subject, you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities(品质) of the cultured(有修养的) man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

The writer thinks that one must ______

A．read as many books as he can

B．try to read books on all the different subjects

C．only read books on subjects that interest him

D．read and absorb a lot
