Science, as we think, was born when the Greek philosopher (哲学家) Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) asked a difficult question: What makes up our universe?
No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance (物质) of the universe.
Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.
The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements (元素)”.
【小题1】Thales, the famous Greek philosopher, died when he was about .A．94 years oldB．106years oldC．40 years oldD．46 years old【小题2】The meaning of the underlined word “complicated” in the last paragraph is “ ”.A．not difficult B．not simple C．not famousD．not different【小题3】From the passage we know that .A．Thales asked many questionsB．Greeks were all philosophersC．science began long agoD．water and air make up all things.【小题4】On the whole, the passage tells about .A．early tries to understand the universeB．the famous Greek thinkersC．water falling from the skyD．air lying all around the earth【小题5】After reading the passage, we can be sure that .A．nothing ever changes in the universeB．Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was airC．the universe is made up of four different substancesD．the early Greek thinkers did much valuable work for the progress of scienceA

(答案→)A 解析：本文讲述了希腊的科学家在很早的时候就对宇宙的组成物质有所研究，他们通过研究发现水、火和空气因为都始终伴随着宇宙，认为它们是宇宙的基本组成物质，在后来人的研究中确实发现希腊的科学家所说的宇宙是有基本物质组成的，是对的，只不过不是三种而是103种物质组成的。【小题1】这是计算题。根据Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) 两数相减得知选A。【小题2】这是细节理解题。根据We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements (元素)”我们现在知道宇宙是有103种，所以表上列出的肯定比希腊的复杂的多，故选B。.【小题3】这是细节理解题。根据希腊的科学家的对于宇宙研究可知，科学出现的很早，故选C。【小题4】这是细节理解题。根据很早的时候人们就开始研究宇宙，故选A。【小题5】这是细节理解题。根据The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances.后来的人根据希腊的科学家的研究继续从事研究发现确实宇宙是有一些基本物质构成的，故选D。

这个答案应该是对的
