It has lain there for more than a cent

20、ury, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the

21、 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (質(zhì)量)against which all

22、 other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations weights and measures systems.But the day

23、s of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement based on electric current in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethrone

24、d.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the worlds metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of

25、the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a

26、 few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”1、What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?AIts cared for with great devotion.BIts used in religious ceremonies.CIts beautifully designed and decor

27、ated.DIts the most valuable metal in the world.2、Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in paragraph 5?ArebuiltBremovedCdestroyedDupgraded3、What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?ATo protect the metal cylinder from damage.BTo make taking measurements more economical.CTo

29、 patience. But in Lenwood Haddocks case, being blind works to his advantage. His trained, sensitive hands are acutely aware of every step of the process. Since beginning his craft in 1986, Lenwood has woven about 145, 000 perfect hammocks.Lenwood lost his sight in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting a

30、ccident. “My whole working career has been blind,” he says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but when that organization closed, the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks. On his first day of work. “I did a total of one hammock,” Lenwood recalls,

31、laughing. “And then I came home and lay down to sleep. I lift weights, but I wasnt as tough as I thought until I started weaving.lt takes a lot of energy, and youre standing up all day.”In time, however, Lenwood found he had a knack (竅門) for the job. At first he worked on-site at the company, but af

32、ter a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he had worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.There, he creates dozens of hammocks each week from ropes in a variety of sizes. One day, he realized the step counter on his phone recorded him walking eight miles without ever l

33、eaving his shop.The process of weaving a hammock involves making and catching hundreds of loops (環(huán)). A single missed stitch (織針) creates a hole that can widen and make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use. Experienced weavers miss loops sometimes, but to his companys knowledge, Lenwood

34、 has never turned in a hammock with even one dropped stitch. Lenwoods skilled fingers are quick to catch and fix any mistakes.The company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock Source. Today, it is the worlds largest maker and seller of hammocks, all built by hand.However, Len

35、woods routine has changed little. He works his fingers back and forth across the rows, looping the rope and pulling it. With every hammock, Lenwood presents himself a perfect product. “Im not sure how sighted people do it,” he admits.1、Lenwood stopped doing his first job because .Ait was for people

36、with good eyesight onlyBthe company failed to go on with its businessCthe company didnt produce hammocksDhe was not skilled at doing woodwork2、It can be learned from the passage that Lenwood .Ahas been blind all through his lifeBused to work as a hunter to support his familyCwas born in the 1950s wi

37、th good eyesightDhas worked as a hammock weaver for 10 years3、What can we learn about Lenwood from the 4th paragraph?AHe moved very often while he was working on a hammock.BHe had to make different ropes before he wove a hammock.CHe had to stay 8 miles away from the worksite to complete it.DHe neede

38、d ropes of about 8 miles long to complete a hammock.4、What does the passage mainly talk about?Athe success of the Hammock Source CompanyBa blind craftsman who makes perfect hammocksChow to weave perfect hammocks by handDhow to become a successful craftsman24（8分）Scientists would like to place a huge

39、mirror in space above the earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays (光線) of the sun. It would direct the suns rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror.Why do they want to do this? The suns rays could be helpful in man

40、y ways. They could light up cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts (霜凍) which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt (融化) dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could change cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.1、The huge mirror would _.Astand 60 mile
