Part Ⅳ Cloze (15 minutes)
Directions:
There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Anyone who has ridden on a railroad train knows how rapidly another train ____(71)____ by when it is traveling in the__(72) __ direction and conversely how it may look almost __(73) __ when it is moving in the same direction. __(74) __ a train at a station starts to move forward __(75) __ gently that passengers feels no backward movement ___(76)__. Then if they happened to__(77)__ the window and see another train slide past on the next track, they have no way of knowing __(78) __ train is in motion and which is at rest;__(79) __ can they tell how fast either one is moving or in which direction. The only way they can judge their __ (80)__ is by looking out the other side of the car for some fixed body of reference __(81) __ the station platform or a single light. Newton was__ (82)__ these tricks of motion, only he thought in terms of ships. He knew that on a calm day at sea a sailor can shave himself or drink soup as__(83) __ as when his ship is lying motionless in harbor. The water in his basin, the soup in his bowl, will remain __(84)__whether the ship is making five knots, 15 knots or 25 knots. So __(85) __ he looks hard at the sea it will be __(86)__ for him to know how fast his ship is moving or indeed if it is moving at all. Of course, if the sea should get rough or the ship changes course suddenly,__ (87)__ he will sense his state of motion. But even supposing that we have the idealized conditions of a glass calm sea and a silent ship, nothing that happens below decks —no amount of observation or mechanical experiment performed inside the ship — will reveal its velocity through the sea. The physical__ (88)__ based on these facts was formulated by Newton in 1687. “The motions of bodies included in a given space”,he wrote,“are the same __(89) __themselves, whether that space is at rest or moves uniformly__ (90)__in a straight line.”
