三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。(每选
项2分 ，共30分)
Passage One
Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American
university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a
new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind
understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on — but even
ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever
thought before.
By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to
become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few
duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and
quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of
war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost
interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to
work.
In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped
on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in
Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany
because he was a Jew.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And
can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This
situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. Marriage
customs around the world often differ from our own. We don't realize that people in
other places often get married in very different ways — and with different motives.
In many countries, marriage is a practical matter. A marriage provides a safe
and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins two families, which benefits
the couple's parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making
sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for
the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.
Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many
different wedding rituals. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to
the happy couple. In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by
wearing
Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future.
Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.
And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.
In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The
wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing. The money is
meant to bring kick and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda,
the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in,
they take good care of the tree and make it grow. The planting of the tree is a good
metaphor (比喻) for marriage. A truly good marriage is something that grows with
care.

26. Which of the following statements DOES NOT support the idea that marriage is

A. The couple may have a safe and stable home through their marriage.
B. The parents had better help their children choose whom to marry.
C. A marriage benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.
D. A marriage brings children who will take care of the couple when they are old.

27. The word
A. forms

D. ceremonies

28. In a typical Western wedding, the bride wears something blue to ________.
A. seek good luck
B. represent the past
C. represent success in the future
D. remind her to be true to her husband

29. Although cultures differ in different countries, one thing in common when a
young couple gets married is that _____.
A. people wish them to take care of each other
B. people wish them to get practical benefits from the marriage
C. people wish them to have good luck in their new life
D. people wish them to make money at the wedding ceremony

A. People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.
