56、ore I am”.【文章解讀】這是一篇議論文。文章主要論述了Do I exist這個(gè)問(wèn)題，最后以笛卡爾的“我思故我在”來(lái)回扣主題。60. Which of the following can be the missing heading?A. Forget about it B. What a ridiculous point C. Think about it D. What a pointless question【答案】D【解析】考查主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章該部分的內(nèi)容，特別是第一句話What a waste of time this question is可知這是一個(gè)無(wú)意義的問(wèn)題，判斷選

57、D。61. This passage is anything but a(n)_.A. comment B. discussion C. argument D. debate【答案】A【解析】考查判斷推理題。A. comment評(píng)論；B. discussion討論；C. argument爭(zhēng)論；D. debate爭(zhēng)論。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞anything but絕不是，通讀全文，根據(jù)文章的這幾部分可知這是一場(chǎng)辯論性質(zhì)的議論文，不是評(píng)論。故選A。62.

58、B. I think, therefore, I am. C. Yes, you do exist. D.

Knots, enjoy a long history of tales and fanciful names such as “Englishmans tie, ” “and “cats paw. ” Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigatio

60、n when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether（醚）. In order to be able to develop the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots find out which different knot

61、s were possible. This sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots.A mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the strings ends joined. In Thomsons theory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared to be different knots were rea
