A. The Story of the Word “Boss” B. C. D. E. F. |
81. _________
The Italians
have an old saying “y
dolce far niente”. The words mean it is sweet or
enjoyable to do nothing. On weekends and during holidays, many of us enjoy
doing nothing. But most of the time, we have to work and to keep our jobs and
we must work hard. Our employer will not like it if we do nothing.
82. _________
American
workers often call their employers “bosses”. The word “boss” comes from the Dutch word “baas” meaning master. Sometimes company bosses are called the brass. They
are also sometimes called “ top brass” or “brass hats”.
Experts disagree about how the strange expression started, but they may have
come from Britain. Leaders of the 19th century British army wore
pieces of metal called oak leaves on their hats. The metal brass has a color
similar to that of gold. So a leader or a commander came to be called a member
of the brass or he might have been called a brass hat or even the top brass.
83. _________
By the 1940’s, the expression had spread beyond
military leaders. It also included civilian officials. A newspaper in the
American city of Philadelphia used the term in 1949. It called the most
important police officials top brass. Other expressions that mean boss or
employer have nothing to do with brass or hats. One of these is “ big cheese”. A cheese is a solid food made
form milk. The expression probably started in America in the late 19th
century. Some experts believe it comes from a word in the Persian or Urdu
languages. Cheese, the meaning is a thing. So the meaning of “big cheese” may be a big thing.
84. ________
Other experts
say the word cheese and its expression was really in incorrect way of saying
chief. The word chief means leader. So the expression may mean big leader. An
employer usually does not object to being called boss. But most workers would
not call their employers big cheese, top brass or brass hats to their faces.
These words are not really insulting（侮辱）but neither do they show great respect.
85. _________
Employers also
have expressions to describe their workers. One of them that describe a good
worker is that he or she works like a Trojan. This expression probably comes
from the ancient writings of the great poet Homer. He wrote about the Trojans
who lived in the city of Troy. He said Trojans worked very hard to protect
their city. Now the expression is often used to describe an employee who work
hard for a company. A loyal, hardworking employee is said to work like a
Trojan. So be happy if your company’s brass hats say you work like a Trojan. They may consider you
valuable enough to increase your pay.

5、It was a dark November day in 1895. In a laboratory at the royal University of Wurzburg, in western Germany, a 50-year-old physics professor, Wilhelm Roentgen, performed what looked like a type of magic. He placed a glass vacuum（真空）tube inside a black cardboard box and applied a high-voltage current（高壓電流）. He suddenly noticed that, on a bench nearby, a piece of paper coated with a chemical substance began giving off an strange light. Over the following two weeks, Roentgen performed a series of experiments that proved the existence of a form of electro-magnetic（電磁的）radiation he called X-rays.
His
astonishing discovery has led to a deeper understanding of the physical
world----in particular, to the field of medical diagnosis（診斷）.
X-rays are
widely used in medicine to make radiographs or X-rays pictures of the bones and
internal organs of the body to see whether diseases exist, such as broken bones
or lung diseases.
A radiograph
is made by passing an X-rays beam through a patient’s body onto a piece of photographic
film. The bones takes in more of the rays than do muscles or other organs, so
the bones throw the sharpest shadows on the film.
Improvements
over the past century----from fluoroscopy（熒光透視法）to CT scans---- have made X-rays technology an invaluable tool of
medicine.
78. At the
beginning of the passage, Prof. Wilhelm Roentgen was _______.
A. performing
an entertaining
program
B. playing magic
C. doing some
experiments
D. None of above
79. When Prof.
Roentgen placed a glass vacuum tube in a black box and applied a high-voltage
current, he _______.
A. saw a bench
nearby
B. noticed a
piece of paper on a nearby bench begin to burn slowly
C. noticed a
piece of paper on a nearby bench begin to give out strange light
D. noticed a
piece of paper was coated with a chemical substance
80. The bones
have clearer shadow on the photographic film than do muscles or other organs,
because ______.
A. the bones
are harder than them
B. the bones
can help absorb more rays than them
C. the bones
can block more rays than them
D. X-rays
cannot pass through the bones

4、The people who lived in Italy and northern Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were the first people to think of themselves as belonging to an era（時代）. It was the Renaissance（文藝復興）, a period of renewed interest in learning after the Middle Ages.
The motto（座右銘）of the Renaissance was “A man can do all things if he wills,” and
the man who fulfilled that motto more than any other was Leonardo da Vinci. Da
Vinci was good at portraiture, a new art form that described people as
individuals. His painting of the “Mona Lisa” remains the most famous portrait ever done.
But Leonardo
was also a skilled architect and engineer, who designed a submarine, helicopter
and airplane, long before those inventions were ever built. Hundreds of
drawings and thousands of pages in his notebooks proved his interest in
astronomy, anatomy，botany,
geology, and above all mathematics. He was interested in city planning and
sanitation and was reportedly a gifted musician.
Since the
Renaissance, the term “Renaissance
man” has been applied to（適用到）others,
who, like Leonardo da Vinci, excelled in many various fields. Thomas Jefferson
is perhaps the best example. He, too, was a born musician and architect as well
as botanist, philosopher, writer and third President of the United States.
75. Which of
the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The motto
of the Renaissance was “A
man can do all things.”
B. Leonardo da
Vinci made the most achievements among people during the Renaissance.
C. Portraiture
was a new art form of painting pictures.
D. “ Mona Lisa”
is among the most famous portraits in history.
76. “Renaissance man” means _______.
A. any person
during the period of Renaissance
B. any person
who makes great achievements in some certain field.
C. any person
who experts at many different fields during the Renaissance
D. any person
who experts at many different fields ever since the Renaissance
77. Which of
the following is NOT the common interest to Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas
Jefferson?
A.
Music
B. Sanitation C.
Architecture
D. Botany
