One day when Isaac Newton was reading a book under an apple tree on the farm, an apple fell down and hit him on the head. For most people that would be the end of the story, but not for Newton. Why did the apple fall out of the tree? Does everything fall? What makes things fall? Can anything stop things from falling? Are the sun, moon, and stars falling? Why don’t they ever hit the ground?

So many questions. Newton spent many years answering these questions by thinking and doing experiments. He made up the law of gravity. According to this law everything pulls everything else to itself by a force called gravity. How strong that force is depends on how heavy the things are and how close together.

Newton’s law of gravity not only explained how things fall on earth, but now planets move around the sun and how moons move around planets. A friend of his, Edmund Halley, decided to try Newton’s theory on comets. People had been studying comets for hundreds of years without figuring them out, so he decided to study their reports and compare them to Newton’s theory.

Up till then people had thought that comets just came and went, and that nobody could know when or why. But Newton’s law of gravity gave rules that Halley could use to study the records of comets. He found some reports of a big bright comet that he was sure was the same one, coming back every 75 years. He predicted when it would come back next.

If anybody still didn’t believe Newton, then the appearance of Halley’s Comet just when Halley had predicted it using Newton’s ideas was enough to convince them. Halley’s Comet has come a few times since then, always right on schedule. You’ll be able to see it on its next trip near the sun and earth when you’re old enough to be a grandparent.

71.The passage starts with a story _____________.

A.because it was such a funny one

B.because Newton liked to eat apples

C.to show how much Newton liked reading

D/to show what started Newton’s discovering gravity

72.According to the author, Newton was especially different from others in that ____________.

A.he liked reading under apple trees

B.he liked to find out how things worked

C.he was very quiet and patient

D.he was so much interested in science

73.Newton’s law of gravity can tell us that _____________.

A.gravity has no relationship with the weight of things.\

B.how things fall on earth

C.it is not of help to the study of comets

D.it can explain everything in the world

74.The underlined word “ convince” in the last paragraph probably means “______________”

A. make… believe                B. make… doubt

C. make… understand             D. make… interested

75. Which of the following is TRUE about Edmund Halley?

A. He discovered a big bright comet.

B. He helped Newton to create his theory.

C. He predicted when the same comet would come back.

D. He studied the same comet for 75 years.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Since I became a full—time freelancer(自由作家), I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn’t been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.

I’ve quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.

Writing down all the big and important things you’ll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.

Don’t read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.

Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.

These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you’re already halfway on your journey toward becoming an early riser.

1.What do we know about the author?

A. He has a full—time job outside.

B. He likes lying in bed all day.

C. He was once fired by a company.

D. He has difficulty getting up early.

2.The author gives us some tips to help us 　　　 .

A. find the key to success

B. become an early riser

C. fall asleep within 10 minutes

C. It can make you worried.

D. It will help you wake up earlier.

Staying connected

When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close because of the fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.

But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring.

“I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.

The coronavirus has changed everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were put off. Summer plans, such as camps, are up in the air.

But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with false information, and finding out the best ways they can help – through online method.

For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to help was to create a “social distancing promise” for young people.

“I saw a lot of young people not paying attention,” he said. “They were … still going out, hanging out with others. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were possibly not watching the news.”

Harycki started a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that followed and kept the locations of people who’d signed the promise. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connected with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing promise to strengthen that although everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected.

“Part of what we’re showing is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.

1.What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.natural

B.necessary

C.worrying

D.reasonable

2.Who does Harycki mainly want to reach?

A.Friends who are worried and bored.

B.Young people not aware of the situation.

C.Younger students trying to help.

D.People taking the coronavirus seriously.

3.What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing promise”?

A.To order young people to stay at home.

B.To follow those infected with the coronavirus.

C.To tell young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.

D.To show young people that they are still connected.

4.Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text?

A.To explain what worried students most when schools closed.

B.To show the different views of students toward the coronavirus.

C.To show how the coronavirus affected students’ lives.

D.To explain the proper reaction to the close of school.
