London: It’s well known that Charles Darwin’s famous theory of evolution (进化) annoyed many people because it was against the Biblical view of creation. But few know that it also created problems for Darwin at home with his deeply religious wife, Emma.

“Darwin held back the publication of On the Origin of Species to avoid offending (触怒) his wife,” says Ruth Padel, the naturalist’s great – great – granddaughter. “Emma told him that he seemed to be putting God further and further off”, Padel says in her north London home. “But they talked it through, and Emma once said, ‘Don’t change any of your ideas for fear of hurting me.’”

As the world celebrates the 200 th birthday of the man who changed scientific thought forever and the 150 th anniversary of his book today, even his opponents admitted he was a giant figure.

Though opposition to his theory continues, it is the elegant explanation of how species evolutes through natural selection that makes his 200th birthday such a major event.

More than 300 celebrations have been planned in Britain alone, where Darwin's face graces (使增光)the 10-pound bill along with that of Queen Elizabeth II.

Shrewsbury, the central England town where Darwin was born and raised, is holding a month-long festival for its most famous son. Down House, his former home near London, will hold a permanent exhibition recreating some of his most famous experiments.

Many more events have been planned all over the world.

What would he be doing if he were alive today? Padel thinks he would properly be studying DNA and the immune system.

60.The main purpose of the author is          .

       A.to say something about Darwin and his wife

       B.to introduce Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution

       C.to sing high praise for the book On the Origin of Species

       C.Emma was not really fond of his theory.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by difinition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.

  The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things Worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant, the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-had spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels than can yet be trusted.

  But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’ t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.

1.According to the author, really good science ________.

[  ]

A.would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment

B.will produce results which cannot be foreseen

C.will help people to make the right choice in advance

D.will bring about disturbing results

2.It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18 th century ________.

[  ]

A.thoutht that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of science

B.were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research

C.knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature

D.did more harm than good in promoting man’ s understanding of nature

3.What is the author’s attitude towards science?

[  ]

A.He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientists.

B.He is doubtful because of the enormous difficulties in scientific research.

C.He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties in scientific research.

D.He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.

4.The author believes that ________.

[  ]

A.man can find solutions sooner or later to whatever questions concerning nature he can think up

B.man can not solve all the problems he can think up because of the limits of human intellect

C.sooner or later man can think up all the questions concerning nature and answer them

D.questions concerning consciousness are outside the scope of scientific research

David Beckham made a losing start to his second season in Major League Soccer when his Los Angeles Galaxy team were crushed 4 – 0 by the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Beckham, in his first game since reaching 100 international caps for England in a friendly against France on Wednesday, played in a variety of different positions as head coach Ruud Gullit tried in vain to find a successful formation.

The former England captain and his Galaxy team mates struggled to cope with playing at altitude, just outside Denver.

“It is always going to be tough when you travel when you have got international games,” Beckham told reporters. It is always tough when you are back from England and you are adjusting to the time difference.

“I felt ok for most of the match but I was maybe not at my sharpest and maybe the altitude had something to do with that.”

Former Manchester United winger Terry Cooke opened scoring for Colorado after 10 minutes.

The Galaxy went further behind after an hour when defender Abel Xavier was adjudged to have fouled Rapids forward Omar Cummings inside the penalty area(罚球区). Christian Gomez converted the spot-kick after they argued fiercely.

“I find it hard not to criticize some of the decisions tonight but I’ve been told I’ll be fined if I do,” said Beckham. “But certain decisions change games. I think that has happened tonight.”

Cummings added Colorado’s third goal on 67 minutes before Colin Clark scored the fourth with 10 minutes left. 

Xavier was sent off late in the game for using abusive language towards referee Abiodun Okulaja and Colorado substitute Ciaran O’Brien was also dismissed after a foul on Carlos Ruiz.

1.The news report is mainly about        .

       A.Beckham’s new team Galaxy

       B.referee Okulaja’s preference

       C.Beckham’s good performance

       D.possible reasons for Galaxy’s first failure

2.We can know that        .

       A.Beckham is captain of England

       B.Beckham was not in form during the game

       C.Gullit found a proper position for Beckham

       D.Beckham was well adjusted to the time difference

3.By saying “certain decisions change games” Beckham means the referee          .

       A.carried out judgment in the Galaxy’s favor

       B.could do anything he liked on the football field

       C.carried out judgment in the Rapids’ favor

       D.might have received money from the Rapids

4.We know the        goal of Rapids was controversial.

       A.1 st                     B.2 nd                    C.3 rd                    D.4 th

5.We can infer that        is fighting for Galaxy.

       A.Xavier      B.O’Brien     C.Cooke      D.Gummings
