First, sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct, but scientists in later centuries do not believe it. For example, about 270 B. C., a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today: The earth moves around the sun. But for the following 1,600 years scientists did not believe this. In their opinion, the sun clearly moved around the earth. They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century!
The second fact of history that many people forget is this: Ancient does not mean primitive. For example, the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars; they used this knowledge to find their way across the oceans. Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth. The results of his calculations were close to the real distance we know today! So the ancients had a great deal of scientific knowledge. They also had skills which equaled the skills of to- day. For example, 1,300 years ago and before, fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather. Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same de- sign. They use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materitals which their ancestors used. Why? The ancient design of the boats was good, and with skillful sailors, these boats can sail in all kinds of weather.
Clearly long before the sixteenth century, people had the skill, the knowledge and the equipment which were necessary for long journeys by sea. The world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers!
Which of the following statements is consistent with the passage?
A.According to the writer, we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenth century.
B.In the history of science, people sometimes have to discover a fact a second time.
C.The ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the stars.
D.The writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two facts mentioned in the passage.

His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June’s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and still does. June says, “We have a list of things to do as long as your arm-the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven’t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path-it looks dreadful when you arrive.
31. John lives in the centre of London.()
32. The agent hasn’t done anything to John’s flat.()
33. June and Pete live near to John.()

第10题
Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band(带子). For people studying maths, this band is uncommon.
This strange band was first made in the 1800s by a German man namedAugust. Mobius. Mr. Mobius studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Understand it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself.
If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. However, if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only one surface.
It is also very interesting to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half once down the line you drew, you do not get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected(相连的)Mobius bands.
1、What is a Mobius band?()
A、A long piece of paper
B、A paper ring for people to wear
C、A metal ring for music
D、An interesting twisted ring
2、Why didAugust Mobius make this ring?()
A、To help study a maths problem
B、To show it's the same as others
C、To show the only surface of any band
D、To find out how many sides it has
3、How can you change the two surfaces of a long piece of paper into one surface?()
A、Glue the ends of the long piece of paper
B、Cut the two surfaces of the paper into one
C、Draw a line in the middle of the paper
D、Twist the paper once and glue the two ends
4、What do you get if you cut the Mobius band along the middle?()
A、A long piece of paper
B、Two long pieces of paper
C、Two Mobius bands
D、One large twisted ring
5、Which of the following is NOT true?()
A、You can use any long piece of paper to make a Mobius band
B、Any long piece of paper has two surfaces
C、The Mobius band was first made about two hundred years ago
D、You have to draw a line in the middle of the long piece of paper before making a Mobius band
