答案
解析
本文通常一个希腊神话说明了四季变化的由来
1. B。根据文章最后几句话可知，文章讲的是季节(season)的更换。
2. B。Zeus是宇宙之神，是众神的统治者。从下文可以看出，不仅Demeter和Hades之间的矛盾的需要Zeus的调解，而且他们的想法也要取得Zeus的同意。
3. A。根据上文的Hades…fell in love with Persephone 以及后文的…agree to the marriage 可知，Hades想娶Persephone为妻。
4. A。此处指的是Zeus既不会同意这桩婚事，也不会禁止。
5. D。根据下文可知，Hades是抢走Persephone，即没有得到允许。
6. D。比较：find out查明真相；let out放开，放出；work out 算出；think out 想出。只有选项D最符合语境。
7. C。后文说Demeter 决定要让所有植物停止生长，可见她很生气(angry)。
8. C。根据第54空处的内容可知，此处指她使所有植物停止生长。
9. A。比较：in danger of 处于……的危险中；in the hope of 怀有……的希望；in turn 依次；in case of 以防万一。根据后文的starving 可知，此题填空in danger of 最佳。
10. B。not...until 意为“直到……才”，此处指的是她要直到她女儿回来才让植物生长。
11. B。根据其后的still not wanting to disappoint Hades可知答案。
12. A。此处指Persephone回到她母亲身边。
13. C。根据下文的Persephone had eaten several pomegranate seeds可知答案。
14. D。根据上下文的语境看，Demeter 接受了Zeus的条件。
15. A。此处指“发现”事情真相。
16. B。根据下文的she must spend part of the year in the underworld可知出此处应选with her mother。
17. C。句中的it 为形式主语，真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句。此处的意思是“……就这样发生了”。
18. D。比较四个选项，只有will 最合语境。
19. C。That’s why… 的意思是“这就是为什么……”“这就是……的原因”。
20. D。当 Persephone 回来时，Demeter很高兴，所以就是春天，植物开始生长。

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
Scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.

| A．Darwin really did fools experiments. |
| B．According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments. |
| C．It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple. |
| D．Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics. |
One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.
