About 2，400 years ago in ancient Greece，Aristotle was born. It was a period when the Greeks
highly respected great thinkers and teachers，such as Pythagoras，Socrates，Democritus，and Plato.
Many historians believe that Aristotle was greater than all of them.
Aristotle is called "the father of biology". Many of his discoveries are still considered correct today.
For example，it was Aristotle who first wrote that dolphins are not fish ﹣ through close observation，he
had found out that they give birth to their babies rather than laying eggs，and that mother dolphins feed
milk to their young.
Aristotle's way of grouping animals may have been his most important achievement in biological
science. He placed the animals into two groups：those with blood and those without. Experts used his
system for over 2. 000 years. In 1758，a Swedish scientist discovered a new way of grouping animals. In
fact，Aristotle's way of grouping，though a little bit different，were approximately the same as the
modern grouping system of vertebrates and invertebrates.
5/11Professor Nardo wrote： "Although Aristotle paid much attention to the importance of evidence （证
据），he failed to realize that doing：experiment is almost always the best method of finding it. Yet，
when he did simple and basic experiments，Aristotle was able to make mostly correct conclusions. "
He also wrote that "Aristotle's influence on the future growth of knowledge was both negative and
positive. . . " For example，Aristotle believed that the planets went around the Earth，not the Sun.
Because the later scientists believed in him blindly，their progress in astronomy was "stopped".
However，he added that many of Aristotle's ideas "brilliantly provided directions for modern discoveries. "
(1) Why is Aristotle called "the father of biology"？
A. He discovered that dolphins feed milk lo their young.
B. He was the first man to find that dolphins are not fish.
C. People consider him greater than all the other thinkers.
D. People still accept many of his discoveries on biology.
(2) What does the underlined word "approximately" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A. Nearly.
B. Easily.
C. Hardly.
D. Exactly.
(3) What did Nardo think of Aristotle according to the passage？
A. Aristotle failed to realize the importance of evidence.
B. Aristotle's finding stopped people studying astronomy.
C. Aristotle found the best way to make correct conclusions.
D. Aristotle's ideas were helpful to modern discoveries in a way.

Fibonacci was the nickname of an Italian mathematician，Leonardo of Pisa，who lived in the early
1200s. Fibonacci discovered his famous sequence ﹣ the Fibonacci number sequence （斐波那契数列）.
The sequence goes like this：0，﹣1，1，2，3，5，8，13，21，34，55，89，144，233，and
so on. The Fibonacci sequence is actually pretty simple. The first two numbers in the sequence are zero and
one；if you add them together，their sum is 1，the third number in the sequence. The second and third
numbers in the sequence are 1 and 1；you add these numbers together to get the fourth Fibonacci
number：2. The sum of the third and fourth numbers，I and 2，equal the fifth number：3. Continue the
pattern：2+3＝5；3+5＝8；5+8＝13；and so on until you reach 144+233＝377.
The sequence is also called the rabbit sequence because Fibonacci introduced his sequence to the
public by describing a situation of counting rabbits Imagine that there is a pair of newborn rabbits，one
male and one female. At the end of the first month，they grow into adult rabbis. At the end of the second
month，they give birth to a new pair of babies，so there are two pairs. The first pair produces another pair
of babies again，and the second pair grows up. Therefore，at the end of the third month，there are three
pairs， . . .
6/11Fibonacci numbers appear often in maths. In fact，there is a magazine，the Fibonacci Quarterly，
publishing the study on them. Fibonacci numbers are also used in computer programs. They appear in
nature such as in the number of petals on a flower as well. A lily has three petals，a buttercup has five
petals. and an aster has 21 petals﹣﹣3，5，and 21 are all Fibonacci numbers.
(1) What is the sixteenth number in the Fibonacci sequence？
A. 233.
B. 377.
C. 610.
D. 987.
(2) How did Fibonacci introduce his sequence to the public？
A. By telling stories.
B. By listing numbers.
C. By comparing facts.
D. By giving examples.
(3) What does the word "They" in the last paragraph refer to？
A. Fibonacci magazines.
B. Fibonacci numbers.
C. Petals on a flower.
D. Computer programs.
(4) What is the best title of this article？
A. How to Count Rabbits.
B. Interesting Numbers in Nature.
C. Magical Fibonacci Sequence.
D. Fibonacci﹣﹣a great mathematician.

Workers at the Marine Biological Association （MBA） in England were surprised when a letter to
"George Parker Bidder" arrived at their offices. They couldn't understand why someone was writing to their
former president，who had been dead for more than 60 years. It became clearer when the letter was
opened. Inside，there was an old postcard. On one side was a series of questions about how the postcard
had been discovered. （1）
The postcard was from a bottle dropped into the North Sea more than a century earlier. It was one of
just over 1，000 bottles that Bidder had thrown into the sea as part of a study on the movement of water.
（2） They were picked up by fishermen or by people walking along the beach，who then sent
the postcards inside them back to Bidder.
（3） It's possible that some of the bottles with the postcards had broken. But somehow，
the bottle with the recently returned postcard had remained in the sea for over a hundred years. It seems
that it finally found its way to a sandy beach on an island. （4） After breaking the bottle open，
she filled out the postcard and sent it off to the MBA，not realizing she was posting a message from the
distant past.
Unluckily，the old postcard shows nothing new about the movement of water. All it tells the workers
is where it was dropped and where it was found. （5）
A. What happened in between remains a secret!
B. However，about 400 bottles had probably got lost.
C. It was then picked up by a woman on holiday there.
D. On the other were directions on how to mail it back.
E. Many bottles were discovered within four years of this experiment.
