On the night of Nov 30, 1835, a boy named Samuel Clemens was born in Florida, US. Many years later, the world would know this boy as Mark Twain.

Mark Twain is one of the greatest US writers of all time. Some people even call him the father of American literature(文学).

Like many US writers of his day, Twain had little school education. As a teenager, he worked as a printer. Later, he worked as a riverboat pilot, miner(矿工) and freelancer(自由撰稿人) for newspapers. These experiences gave him wonderful writing material.

Mark Twain is considered the greatest humorist of his age. His jokes go to the roots of human nature. In 1873, Twain released(发行) a book called The Gilded Age(《镀金时代》). The book made fun of the very rich people of the time.

Besides humor, Twain developed a unique writing style that was very American. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1885 in the US) describes the adventures of a boy, Huck Finn, and a black slave(奴隶), Jim. Twain used dialects(方言) in the novel, making the character’s speech sound like real Americans: using local dialects, newly invented words．and regional accents(口音).

Twain’s writing style has influenced many writers. “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn, ” Ernest Hemingway wrote in1935.

In 1910, Twain died of heart disease. But his brilliance(才华) keeps on shining to this day. A. was Samuel Clemens’ brother B. was a great British writer C. received a lot of school education D. is known as father of American literature A. didn’t work hard B. didn’t like school C. came from a rich family D. got a lot from his experiences A. made fun of rich people B. greatly praised rich people

A. The great US writers in history. B. Mark Twain, a great writer. C. Mark Twain’s great works. D. Modern American literature.

C

The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?

There are two opposite forces acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around

the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.

Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash down to the earth. 71. Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned? A. communication

B. monitoring the weather condition D. taking pictures

C. the rotation of the satellite

D. the rope

C. doing some research A. the earth

72. The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.

B. the satellite itself

73. Why can’t the satellites fly away? A. Because of the force from the earth. B. Because the satellite is too big.

C. Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth. D. Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly. 74. The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________. A. when it flies faster

B. when its speed slows down D. when there is no electricity in it

C. when people cut the rope
