10．Science flying in the face of gravity
It looked just like another aircraft from the outside．The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964，based on the 707．But appearances were deceptive，and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives．
Inside，the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel．Heavily padded from floor to ceiling，there were almost no windows，but lights along the padded walls eerily illuminated（照明）it．Most of the seats had been taken out，apart from a few at the back，where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of apprehension．
For 12 months，science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency．The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions．
For the next two hours the Boeing's flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason，shooting upwards towards the heavens before hurtling towards Earth．The intention was to achieve weightlessness for a few second．
The aircraft took off smoothly enough，but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds．Then the engines cut out and we became weightless．Everything became confused and left or right，up or down no longer had any meaning．After 10 seconds of free-fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive．The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss，but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump．
Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless，a new team conducted its experiment．First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet．Then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station．
After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing their experiments，most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat．
46．What does the underlined word"eerily"in Paragraph 2 mean？B
A．clearly B．strangely C．badly D．brightly
47．Why was this text written？D
A．To report on a new scientific technique．
B．To show scientists what young people can do．
C．To encourage young people to take up science．
D．To describe the outcome of a scientific competition．
48．What did the pilot do with the plane？C
A．He climbed and then made the plane turn over．
B．He climbed and then made the plane fall slowly．
C．He quickly climbed and then stopped the engines．
D．He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 seconds．
49．What was the point of being weightless？B
A．To see what conditions are like in space．
B．To allow the teams to try out their ideas．
C．To prepare the young scientists for future work in space．
D．To show unforgettable experiences for the young scientists． 试题答案
分析 本文描述的是富有想象力的实验是在失重的条件下进行的，旨在讲述一个科学竞赛的结果，让学生们产生新的想法．
解答 BDCB
46．B 推断题．由第三段第二句"there were almost no windows"可知，没有窗户，却有灯，所以灯的设置是奇怪的，即灯奇怪地照着它．strangely"奇怪地"，clearly"清楚地"，badly"非常"，brightly"明亮地；鲜明地"，只有B项符合题意，故正确答案为B．
47．D 主旨题．由第四段第一句"For 12 months，science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency．"和最后一段最后一句"most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat．"可知，本文旨在描述一个科学竞赛的结果，只有D项符合题意，故正确答案为D．
48．C 细节题．由倒数第三段前两句中"we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds．Then the engines cut out and we became weightless．"可知，飞行员快速上升然后停止发动机，只有C项符合题意，故正确答案为C．
49．B 细节题．由第四段最后一句"The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions．"可知，富有想象力的实验是在失重的条件下进行的，故失重的目的是为了让学生们产生新的想法，只有B项符合题意，故正确答案为B．
点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．
Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph. D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematic provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).
World War II hugely changed Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure (纯粹的) mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several contributions. After the war, Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.
Neumann really was a legend(传奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

A. a mathematician needed a good memory

D. Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time
2.How did World War II affect Neumann?
A. He lost interest in chemistry.
B. He realized the importance of engineering.
C. He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.
