二、阅读回答问题(共10分)
I’m sure you’ve used the zipper many times. It can be seen almost everywhere today. But have you ever wondered who invented it
Whitcomb Judson was an inventor. He had a friend who had a sore back. Judson’s friend couldn’t bend over to tie his shoes. So Judson designed what he called a “clasp locker(扣环)” for him. It could be opened and closed with one hand. He patented(取得专利权) the idea in 1891. Even though he started his own company to make the clasp locker, Judson didn’t make his invention famous.
The zipper as we know today is a result of the work of Gideon Sundback who worked as head engineer at Judson’s company. Sundback improved on Judson’s design. His design was stronger, faster and more reliable(可靠的) and Sundback patented it in 1917, calling it the “separable fastener(可分离扣)”. With World War One breaking out, the army used his design on its clothing and equipment for the soldiers.
However, the invention didn’t become popular with the public until 1923 when the B．F. Goodrich Company decided to use Sundback’s invention on their new shoes. A leader at the company named them zippers after the noise they made, and the zipper got its name from then on. It also caught the attention of fashion designers in France, who used zippers in men trousers.
The zipper not only makes it more convenient to fasten clothing. The invention of plastic zippers also helps in the fashion industry(行业). This small invention did change our life.

12．Did Gideon Sundback work at Judson’s company

13．Where were the separable fasteners used during the World War One

14．In 1923.
15．It can not only fasten clothing but also help in the fashion industry.
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拉链的由来以及它在我们生活中的用处。
11．
根据“He had a friend who had a sore back. Judson’s friend couldn’t bend over to tie his shoes. So Judson designed what he called a “clasp locker(扣环)” for him”可知，因为他的一个朋友背部疼痛，无法弯腰系鞋带，他发明这个是为了帮助他的朋友生活更方便，故填To make his friend’s life easier./To help his friend./Because one of his friends had a sore back and couldn’t bend over to tie his shoes.

Whenever I met new words, I looked them up in a dictionary. I kept using English every day. Practice makes perfect. About two months later. I got an “A” in the final exam.
