Where Is God?

A couple had two little boys, aged 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble. And their parents knew that. If any mischief (恶作剧) occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

Th e boys? mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining (管教)children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly（严厉地），"Where is God?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response（回答）, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed（吼叫）, "WHERE IS GOD!?”?The boy screamed and bolted（逃跑）from the room, ran directly home and dove （扑，冲）into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing – and they think WE did it!"

Tie a knot (结)in the equator(赤道)?

When Ted Hughes finished training college, he became a teacher in a primary school. His favorite subject was geography, because he had always wanted to travel, and he studied various parts of the world so that he could feel as if he knew them a little.

Ted liked children, and was always ready to have a joke with them, so they learnt a lot from him while at the same time having fun.

One September, he was having his first lesson with a class of boys and girls. And to start with he decided to ask them some general questions, so that he could see how much they already knew. He found that this was about the average for their age, and that some of the boys and girls had obviously heard that he enjoyed a joke and were ready to have some fun with him

"Where's Turkey"" Ted asked the first boy.

”Turkey, sir?" the boy answered. "You'll find it on the Christmas dinner table, sir"

”Very funny!" said Ted with a smile, while the class laughed loudly.

"Do you really know where it is?"

The boy did, in fact, know. "Part of it is in Southeast Europe and part in Asia, sir," he said.

"Good." said Ted. The next few pupils also had funny answers to Ted's questions. But they all knew the correct answers too.

Ted knew that there was one girl in the class who was very clever. She had entered the school on a scholarship that term, and it was her he turned to next.

"Well," he said, "now let's see if there's at least one of you who doesn't talk nonsense(废话)…. What is the equator?'"

"It's an imaginary line drawn round the earth equally distant from the North Pole and the South Pole, sir," the girl answered at once.

"Good," Ted said. "Very good." But it sounded to him as if the girl had learnt this by heart, so he asked her another question to see whether he was right or not.

"Now, do you really know what that means'” he asked. "Could you, for example, tie a knot in the equator?"

The class laughed, but she answered, "Yes, sir"

"Oh, really'" Ted said with a smile.

"Yes, sir," the girl said "As the equator's an imaginary line, you could tie an imaginary knot in it."

This time Ted joined happily m the class's loud laughter.

1. Why did Ted like geography very much? Because _______.

A.he had traveled a lot.

B.he could make a lot of money .

C.he had always wanted to travel.

D.He is geography teacher.

2. Why did the first boy give that answer at first? Because ________.

A.He wanted to laugh at Ted.

B.He didn’t know the correct answer.

C.He didn’t like Ted.

D.He wanted to joke with Ted.

3. Look at the underlined sentence. Why did Ted smile? Because_______.

A.he was quite satisfied with the answer.

B.the girl’s answer was very funny.

C.Ted thought maybe the girl didn’t really understand the definition (定义) of equator.

D.Ted was very kind and always wore a smiling face.

4. According to the passage, which of the following sentence is true?

A.This is Ted’s 1st lesson after his graduation from college.

B.The students had known of him before this lesson.

C.The 1st answer given by the girl was wrong.

D.Ted’s favorite subject was biography.

5. Why the class and Ted burst into laughter in the end? Because ________.

A.the girl had given a very intelligent answer.

B.the girl’s answer was wrong but funny.

C.the other students wanted to make fun of the girl.

D.the girl had learnt the definition of equator by heart but actually she didn’t

understand it.

《分析化学》专业英语阅读材料03

《分析化学》阅读材料03 摘自Analytical Chemistry (FECS) ●In the Br?sted-Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor. Each acid is related to its conjugate base and vice versa: Acid = base + proton Therefore, the conjugate base of a strong acid must be a weak base and the conjugate base of a weak acid must be a strong base. Together they form a couple, and an acid without its conjugate base is a meaningless concept. In order to release a proton, the acid must find a base to accept it. In an aqueous solution, the proton, H+, having an extremely small ionic radius, cannot exist as such. It is hydrated, forming the hydronium ion H3O+ and higher hydrates. Thus, an acid-base equilibrium is not a simple dissociation equilibrium, but the result of a proton transfer reaction in which there are at least two reagents and two products. Such a process is also called protolysis. The overall reaction is expressed by: HX + H2O = H3O+ + X-. The overall equilibrium constant is K = [H3O+][X-]/[HX][H2O]. The acid dissociation constant Ka is given by: Ka = K[H2O] = [H3O+][X-]/[HX]. Ka reflects not only the acid strength of HX, but also the base strength of water. This why different acid dissociation constants are observed for the same acid in different solvent. ●Similar proton transfer reactions exist in all solvents possessing proton donor and acceptor properties. Proton transfer reactions are extremely fast. This makes them very suitable for analytical applications and acid-base reactions have found wide use in volumetric methods and other analytical techniques. ●The pH value is a measure for the acidity or basicity of a solution, aqueous or nonaqueous. ●Acid-base indicators are chemical substances with acid-base properties, having different colors in their protonated and deprotonated forms. ● A most important application of acid-base systems is related to the property of such a system to act as a buffer. Many chemical reactions produce protons (in aqueous solutions hydroniums) or hydroxide ions. If these products remain in the system, a corresponding pH change is observed. However, if a buffer is present in the solution it reacts with the liberated hydrogen or hydroxide ions so that only a relative small change of pH occurs. Buffer consist of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The most efficient buffer for a given pH consists of a 1:1 ratio of the protonated and deprotonated forms of a weak acid (with pKa = pH). This cannot always be achieved, but if we wish to prepare a solution of a certain pH, we select a weak acid with a pKa value close to the desired pH. Buffer solution resists changes in pH upon adding of strong acids or strong bases. Depending on the relative concentrations of the acid and base forms of the buffer, the system can resist small or large additions of strong acid or base. This buffer capacity is defined as the number of moles of strong acid of base required to change the pH of 1 L of buffer solution by one pH unit. Solutions with high or low pH values, formed as a result of dissolution of large quantities of a strong base or acid, are characterized by a large buffer capacity, although the electrolyte practically consists of only one of the conjugate forms (e.g., HCl or NaOH solutions). ● A general requirement for all volumetric methods is that the titration process is fast and that it proceeds in a definite stoichiometric ratio, the endpoint of the reaction must by easy to detect and the reaction should be specific and not influenced by other constituents of the solution, i.e., there should be no interference. Question: 1. A H3PO4 solution is brought to pH = 7.00 by the addition of NaOH. Calculate the concentration of the various forms of orthophosphate if the total phosphate concentration in buffer is 0.200 mol /L. pKa1 = 2.16, pKa2 = 7.21, pKa3 = 12.32. 2. A buffer solution is prepared from acid, HA, Ka = 5 10-5, and its salt. The concentration of HA in the buffer is 0.25 mol / L. To 100 mL of the buffer added 5.0 mmol of NaOH, and the pH of the resulting solution is 5.60. What was the pH of the original buffer? 3.It is desired to change the pH of 100 mL of 0.100 mol / L HCl from 1.00 to 4.40 by the addition of sodium acetate, CH3COONa3H2O. How much solid sodium acetate salt must be added in grams? Assume no volume change for the solution as the result of the addition. 4.What is the buffer capacity of a solution which is 0.100 mol / L of NH3 and 0.200 of NH4Cl? 5.Calculate the pH of each of the following solution: (a) Water in equilibrium with CO2 of the air; pKa1 = 6.38, pKa2 = 10.25. (b) Water as in part (a) brought to pH = 7.00 with NaOH and allowed to regain equilibrium with CO2. 6. Derive the following expression for the pH at the first stoichiometric point in the titration of a mixture of two weak acid: HA, the stronger, Ka1, concentration C1; HB, the weaker, Ka2, concentration C2: pH = 1/2 (pKa1 + pKa2) – 1/2 lg (C1/C2)

高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. "This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said. （1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. （2）What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity （3）What is the author's attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful

You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. 21．When you do something wrong, _______________. A. you may correct it
