二、阅读理解
11.??? What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin(青霉素).?It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a "staph" infection(葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
??? Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
??? The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Moulds(霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can't see them. They're too small. There are thousands of different moulds. Moulds can make an experiment(实验) fail. That's why dishes are covered.
??? Dr Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germs. He worked for years. One clay he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germs. There were also some moulds. Then he saw something strange. Where the moulds were, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. "By accident, I found a mould to kill the dreaded staph."
This is how penicillin was found. But here's the real miracle(奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of moulds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mould must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds(秒). In those few seconds the right mould fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mould did. How lucky the humans were!
1.During the experiments to find a medicine for staph infections, _____.
A.the dishes were not covered B.staph and mould were put together
C.mould was kept in small dishes D.staph was grown in small dishes
2.The word "dreaded" means "_____".
A.famous B.scary C.healthy D.endangered
3.The last paragraph suggests that _____.
A.accidents happen to everyone
B.the careful person does not have accidents
C.the careless person will miss valuable chances
D.luck is enough when doing scientific experiments
4.Most of this passage is written by _____.
A.telling an unusual story B.showing the results of experiments
C.offering some reasons D.giving some advice
5.This passage is mainly about _____.
A.medicine for a staph infection B.useful accidents
C.Dr Fleming's research D.discovering penicillin
12.??? Recently, a designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book that can transform(变形) into a piece of furniture. The special book is called Bookniture. It can be unfolded to become a chair or a small table. People can either carry it around for a portable(轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.
??? The hook was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.
??? "I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. I really want a seat that doesn't take up any floor space when I don't need it. One clay, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book," said the 34-year-old designer.
??? Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper(牛皮纸), the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It expands(扩大) to 14 times bigger once it's opened, and can support up to 1,000kg of weight. It comes in two colours, brown and black, and can be bought for between ? 55 and ? 57.
1. The book is special because _____.
A.it can be used as a bag to carry things

C.it can transform into a chair or a table
2. Paragraph 3 is about _____.
