Started in 1636, Harvard (哈佛) University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in

the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were nearly the same. Only young men went to college. All the

students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about

science. And few people knew that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about

the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later,

lawyers could study in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began to teach

modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects.

Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of

smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer all.

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 (力量) 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 (坠落) down to the earth.

61. Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?

A. communication

B. monitoring the weather condition D. taking pictures B. the satellite itself D. the rope C. doing some research A. the earth 62. The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________. C. the rotation of the satellite

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.

64. 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

65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. There are four forces acting on the satellite.
