And there are legends (传说) which say that Satan (撒旦) can turn himself into any bird except for a dove. But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949. The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology (神话) it was associated with Iris, the goddess who brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth. In the Bible a rainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was finally over, and that God had forgiven his people. In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is often taken as a common symbol for marriage.Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment, representing the possibility of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. In Greek mythology, the goddess Athens gave the olive tree to the people of Athens who showed their thanks by naming the city after her. But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolize peace. There is probably a connection with ancient Greece. The winners of the Olympic Games were given crowns (冠) of olive branches. The symbolism may come from the fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce fruit, so olives could only be grown successfully in long periods of peace. Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity. One well-known example is the United Nations symbol. 1. Which of the following is the most important in making the dove a modern symbol of peace?A. Greek mythology B. The European traditionC. Ancient legends D. Pablo Picasso2. How many examples does the writer give to show the rainbow as a universal symbol of peace? A. Six. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The olive branch was regarded as a symbol of peace because it was given as gift by the goddess Athens. B. The name of the capital of Greece comes from the name of the goddess Athens. C. Olive trees do not produce fruits when there are wars in the world.D. The winners in the Olympic Games were given crowns of olive branches because they symbolized peace.4. The United Nations takes the olive branch as its symbol because _. A. it represents hope in the future B. it has economic value for the worldC. it often gives prizes to countries D. its duty is to keep peace and union5. From the passage we can conclude that _. A. all the symbols mentioned above are based on traditional beliefs B. all modern ideas come from Greek mythology C. all the symbols mentioned above are used on flags D. the UN has officially accepted the three symbols as symbols of peaceBA young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth, according to Lyell, was not only thousands of years old, it was millions of years old. As to the common belief that changes in the earths surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood, he said that this might happen once in a while, but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes, he said, were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas, and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earths surface. Once in a great while he thought, a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily. Professor Henslow was interested in Lyells ideas, but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world.At Cambridge, Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination, and received his college degree in 1831. During this time, he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year, he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earths crust (地壳). Fossils may be of animals, such as fish, insects, birds, or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees. When a living creature dies, it usually decays (腐烂) or is eaten by animals. However, if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm, the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear, leaving the inside hollow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy, like stone. 6. According to Charles Lyell, it is mainly _ that the earth has been formed like todays shape. A. from the beginning of timeB. past some experiences of big floodC. over a very long period of yearsD. because of several big earthquakes7. Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed _. A. more by seas than by volcanoesB. more slowly than suddenlyC. more by an earthquake than by winds D. more steadily than quickly8. Unlike Professor Henslow, Charles Darwin _. A. never thought Lyells ideas were rightB. did made up his mind not to accept Lyells ideasC. thought about what the world were then thinking aboutD. thought over Lyells ideas and developed them9. The main purpose of Darwins going to North Wales was to _. A. make a study of fossilsB. appreciate the rock formationC. to do research work into dead animalsD. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees10. In which order are fossils formed?a. A living thing sinks into a riverbed or sands. b. Water goes into a bone hollow together with mineral. c. Something soft in a bone disappears. d. The hardened mineral makes the bone hard.e. The bone becomes hollow inside. A. a b c d eB. c a b e dC. a c
