A
Bi Sheng was born in Song Dynasty. He lived in a small village which lies in Huanggang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD (公元)。He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany.
The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷).But how did it work in the past
First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully onto the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books.
The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place.

D. How Bi Sheng invented the movable type printing in Song Dynasty.
B
There have been many great inventions or things that change the way we live. The first great invention is the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much any more. They began to work in order to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. It was also a time when a new material was first made—Nylon (尼龙)，which came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire (渴望) to explore again. The Earth was known to man but stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their own steps into space.
In 1969, man took his biggest step away from the Earth. Americans first walked on the Moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
26. In the 1800s, people began to work in order to make ________.
A. explorations B. their life better C. discoveries D. a trip to space
27. Nylon came out of five years later than ________.
A. radio B. camera C. jet planes D. movies
28. The underlined phrase "came out" means ________ in Chinese.
A. 出现 B. 当心 C. 试验 D. 算出
29. People can live longer lives because ________ that help cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new hospitals C. medicines D. new ways
30. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. why cars were very important B. when the light was invented
C. how inventions affect people's daily life D. which country made the first step into space
C
The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在)．The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for an example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.
31. In the writer's opinion，there are ________ wrong ideas about inventing in the passage.
A. 5 B. 3 C. 4 D. 2
32. ________ got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
A. Mozart B. George Nissen
C. Louis Braille D. The Wright Brothers
33. The underlined word “talent” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 态度 B. 品质 C. 天赋 D. 能量
34. Which of the following is the writer's opinion
A. Anybody can do inventing.
B. Inventors are born, not made.
C. Inventors are always old people.
D. An invention has to be something completely new.
35. The best title for the passage would be “________”．
A. How to Perform in a Show
B. Be a Composer
C. How to Help Blind People
D. Be an Inventor
D
What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
36. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. get readers to pay attention to road safety
B. tell readers the danger of self driven cars
C. ask readers to keep away from heavy traffic
D. make readers be interested in self driven cars
37. The testing self driven cars need ________ to run.
A. solar energy B. water
C. electricity D. coal
38. From the passage, we know that the testing self driven cars can already ________.
A. stop any accident on the road
B. turn around when getting near other cars
C. control the speed in dangerous situations
D. park themselves with the help of the drivers
39. Which is NOT helpful to make the self driven cars run safely according to the passage
A. E reading. B. Wireless signals.
C. Cameras. D. GPS.
40. What is Whit Drake's attitude（态度）toward the safety of the self-driven cars
A. He has doubt about it
B. He believes it completely
C. He doesn't care about it.
D. He dislikes new technology.

There have been many great inventions or things that change the way we live. The first great invention is the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much any more. They began to work in order to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. It was also a time when a new material was first made—Nylon (尼龙)，which came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire (渴望) to explore again. The Earth was known to man but stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their own steps into space.
In 1969, man took his biggest step away from the Earth. Americans first walked on the Moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
26. In the 1800s, people began to work in order to make ________.
A. explorations B. their life better C. discoveries D. a trip to space
27. Nylon came out of five years later than ________.
A. radio B. camera C. jet planes D. movies
28. The underlined phrase "came out" means ________ in Chinese.
A. 出现 B. 当心 C. 试验 D. 算出
29. People can live longer lives because ________ that help cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new hospitals C. medicines D. new ways
30. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. why cars were very important B. when the light was invented

28.A全文主要讲了一些发明出现的时间以及对人们的日常生活产生的影响。come out意为“出现”，符合语境。
29.D由倒数第三段中的“The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases.”可知选D。

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在)．The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for an example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.
31. In the writer's opinion，there are ________ wrong ideas about inventing in the passage.
A. 5 B. 3 C. 4 D. 2
32. ________ got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
A. Mozart B. George Nissen
C. Louis Braille D. The Wright Brothers

A. 态度 B. 品质 C. 天赋 D. 能量
34. Which of the following is the writer's opinion
A. Anybody can do inventing.
B. Inventors are born, not made.
C. Inventors are always old people.
D. An invention has to be something completely new.
35. The best title for the passage would be “________”．
A. How to Perform in a Show

C. How to Help Blind People
D. Be an Inventor

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self driven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self driven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe self driven car very soon.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self driven car may be able to stop this. However， some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.

A. solar energy B. water
C. electricity D. coal
38. From the passage, we know that the testing self driven cars can already ________.
A. stop any accident on the road
B. turn around when getting near other cars
C. control the speed in dangerous situations
D. park themselves with the help of the drivers
39. Which is NOT helpful to make the self driven cars run safely according to the passage
A. E reading. B. Wireless signals.
C. Cameras. D. GPS.
40. What is Whit Drake's attitude（态度）toward the safety of the self-driven cars
A. He has doubt about it
B. He believes it completely
C. He doesn't care about it.
D. He dislikes new technology.
