二、完型填空
Last week I was watching the evening news on TV. The news was about a prize for some scientific 1 ; I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Stor, 2 something that caught my 3 . "All great discoveries," He said, "are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and 4 .”Being a little over thirty myself I more or less disagreed with him. 5 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours 6 the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.
First I looked at some of the 7 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 8 fall at the same speed, was 9 by Galileo when he was twenty-six. Madame Curie started her research that 10 to a Nobel Prize when she was twenty-eight. Einstein was twenty-six 11 he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 12 of that. 13 I wondered if those "best years" were true in other 14 .
Then how about the field of 15 ? Surely it 16 the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it 17 ,but look 18 these people started their careers(事业). Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six. Abraham Lincoln 19 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government 20 what age? Twenty-six.
But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I guess, 21 people do not want to take risks(风险) or try 22 way. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former(前者)was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, 23 the latter was still trying new ways of 24 when he was ninety!
Perhaps there is still 25 for me.
1. A. invention B. discovery C. experiment D. report
2. A. said B. told C. remarked D. spoke
3. A. ears B. notice C. attention D. observation
4. A. twenty B. thirty C. forty D. fifty
5. A. Everybody B. Somebody C. Nobody D. Anybody
6. A. looking up B. checking up C. searching for D. asking about
7. A. general B. scientific C. natural D. social
8. A. heights B. sizes C. weights D. things
9. A. tired B. made C. discovered D. commanded
10. A. referred B. turned C. led D. got
11. A. when B. after C. before D. though

I shall never forget that silent, unpleasant trip.
The next time I went to Scapli in 1978, by air this time. The new town was being officially opened by the President, after many years of construction work.

Warm water freezes (结冻) more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year Canadian scientist Geoge Kell proved (证明) the English physicist was right. Dr Kell filled one open bowl with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both bowls to the same low temperature. The warm water froze(结冰) first.
The lack(没有) of covers on the bowls was the secret(秘密). Some of the warm water changed into vapor. (蒸汽) It evaporated(蒸发) into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water.
