12、 their lives unremarked by history. Whether by design or by accident, there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us.

14、his patent for the telephone, Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament (碳灯丝 ), which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out, much more useful than that invented by Thomas Edison.

20、rusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into ones home 英语试题 卷 第 4 页 ( 共 8 页 ) for one or two nights? Give me a break. However, I was intrigued. I decided
21、to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country Ive always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there. If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at th
22、e train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的 ). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me t
23、ea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased. If this was what couch surfing was all about trust and friendship then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. W
24、hat urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives. Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, its this: Most people are good and generous
25、. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I cant wait to find out. 24. Which of the following best explains intrigued underlined in the second paragraph? A. Relaxed. B. Disgusted. C.

28、 again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that youre probably totally unaware of. Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus (真菌 ) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to war
29、n each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分 ) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive. Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading
30、 poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did. Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insects natural enemy. The
31、enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting 英语试题 卷 第 5 页 ( 共 8 页 ) your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money. You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock. But did you know that plants also have t
32、his clock? This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do. Is it because they can react to light at sunrise?

36、ng catch-up with the U.S. and Russian space programs, China did something neither nation nor any other had done this December: land a spaceship on the dark side of the moon. Strictly speaking, of course, the moon has no dark side. But because of the way it orbits Earth, our natural satellite shows u
37、s only one side the other is hidden from our view. No one even saw the far side until 1959, when the Soviet Luna 3 spaceship flew around for a look and sent back photos.

40、n orbiter, a lander or collector, an ascent stage (上升器 ) and a capsule that will separate from the orbiter and return the rocks to the earth.

47、e to old peoples homes and nursing homes. In France, parents are protected by law. It is difficult to imagine an Elderly Rights Law being a focus in the laws of many Western cultures.
