“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much.”—Francis Bacon (1561-1626) It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding. To start with, you need questions. Then, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts. After

4

that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis—luckily for us.

However, in the 17 century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “the earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. They preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of others. In fact, when Galilei proved that the earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC).

This also shows how people didn’t want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves. And this is still often true today. People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei too made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong. Therefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all”.

We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we don’t know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions. So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” —Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

39. In Bacon and Galileo’s times, people would prefer to ________.

th

A. learn new things by observing the world around themselves B. acquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestors C. seek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientists D. explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes A. their great achievements in science B. their ambition to doubt great ancestors C. their revolutionary way of acquiring knowledge

D. their preference to believe in themselves rather than others

40. In this passage Bacon and Galileo is mentioned as examples for ________.

41. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To help the readers learn more about great thinkers in history. B. To convince the readers of the importance of thinking and discovering. C. To persuade the readers to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. D. To encourage the readers to go against the views of their day.

42. Which of the following is the process the writer suggests to acquire knowledge? A. Asking questions → searching the internet → waiting for results → finding answers B. Acquiring knowledge and understanding → asking questions → answering questions C. Observing the world → asking questions → studying facts → finding answers →

considering possibilities

D. Asking questions → observing the world → studying facts → considering possibilities

→ testing and finding answers

C

At 10 p.m., I met Holmes outside his house as arranged. With him were two men. The police officer, Peter Jones, I already knew. He had often helped us out in our little adventures. The other gentleman was Mr. Merryweather. He was the manager of the bank we had seen that morning in Short Street.

When we got to the bank, Mr. Merryweather opened the door with a large key and we all crept silently down into the basement. The floor of the basement was covered in large square stones and the room was filled with wooden boxes.

“That’s our French gold,” explained Mr. Merryweather. “We borrowed it some months ago from a French bank to use in a business deal. As it happens, we didn’t need it after all, so it was never unpacked. It will be going back to France first thing on Monday morning.”

“Please be quiet,” said Sherlock Holmes. “Hide behind the boxes and keep very still. We shouldn’t have long to wait.”

In fact, we waited silently in the dark for over an hour, although it seemed a lot longer to me. Then suddenly, a strange light appeared under the stone floor. One of the stones began to move, letting more light in from below. Within moments, the stone was pushed on top of the next one, leaving a light-filled hole in its place. A hand appeared out of the hole, then another hand. A few seconds later, Vincent Spaulding jumped out of the hole onto the basement floor. Then he turned and leaned over the hole.

“OK, Archie, it’s all clear up here. Give me the hammer and the bags and then climb up yourself,” he said. At that moment, Holmes ran from behind his box and caught hold of Spaulding.

“Quick, Archie, run!” yelled Spaulding. We heard the sound of feet running away. “He won’t get far, Mr. Clay, for that’s your real name, isn’t it?” said Holmes. “The police are guarding the shop door at the other end of the tunnel you so cleverly dug. They’ll catch him as he comes out the other end.”

Once both thieves had been arrested and taken off to the police station, Holmes and I went home to discuss the matter.

“And so you see, Watson, Spaulding, or Clay as his real name is, needed to get Mr. Wilson

6

out of his shop so he and his associate could dig their tunnel. The dirt on the knees of his trousers confirmed that they were digging. When I knocked my stick on the pavement and heard nothing unusual, I knew they weren’t digging under the front of the shop. So I concluded they were digging out the back. When I made enquiries at the bank and found out about the French gold, I knew I was right. And I guessed they’d take the gold on Saturday evening because the bank would be closed the next day and they’d have time to escape before the theft was noticed.” 43. Holmes and Watson met Mr. Merryweather at the bank that morning to _________. A. withdraw some cash for emergency use

B. inquire if Spaulding had once used his real name at the bank C. confirm that the digging was linked with the bank D. see the French gold in the basement with their own eyes 44. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. it was the first time that Clay had committed a theft crime. B. this was a well-planned theft though failed.

C. the other thief was able to escape from the other end of the tunnel.

D. the French gold would be going back to France since it took up too much room. 45. “We shouldn’t have long to wait” (in the 4 paragraph) showed that Holmes was .

A. patient B. confident C. concerned D. calm 46. Which is the correct order of the following events?

a. The two thieves began to dig the tunnel. b. Holmes knocked his stick on the pavement.

c. The two thieves were taken off to the police station. d. The bank borrowed the gold from a French bank. e. Watson met Holmes outside his house.

The effects of inflation or rapidly rising prices in one area may encourage a purchaser to borrow money to avoid higher costs in the future. People who are successful at saving will often want to make their money work even harder and increase their income through successful investments.

Purchasing housing has been shown to be good investments. So many Chinese people purchased houses in the early 2000s because rapid price increases made them look like a good investment.

Some people have managed to combine their hobbies and special interests with their investments. However, investing in such things as artworks, rare cars and number plates, rare wines, first edition books, fossils, stamps and gems all cause particular problems. It requires

7

professional knowledge and good luck if it is to become an investment rather than an expensive hobby.

Shares (股票) can also provide an income stream. They offer a return on the investment through a dividend (红利) paid to the share owner. The dividend is a share in the profits of the business divided amongst the shareholders. As well as providing a regular income, shares can be sold to add to holders’ income on a lump sum (一次性地). The dividend and increased value of share price growth (also known as capital growth), are the two main reasons people purchase shares. However, share prices can also fall and investors can lose money.

Managed funds are provided by most financial institutions. These are actually a group of investments that the brokers (the financial institution representative) buy. They provide five investment alternatives: cash, fixed interest, Chinese shares, overseas shares and property trusts. They spread the risk over different investments to ensure a better return. For example, property management funds choose a selection of properties to invest in and the rent on these properties provides an income, which is passed on to investors.

However, it is important when borrowing to carefully consider what deposit (押金) can be paid and what the actual rate of interest that has to be paid is. It is essential not to have an unnecessary debt burden.

The choice of how much money to borrow and from which organization to borrow can also be

as important as the choice of item itself. Interest rates and the term of a loan can vary greatly, so it pays to shop around.

Exploit Your Money Lead in: Inflation __1__ people’s life. Part I Investments Part II Cautions Purchase housing. Combine hobbies and interests with __3__. Purchase shares. Buy managed funds. Decide how __9__ much to unnecessary borrow and debt burden. _10_ a good organization.
