八、阅读理解
The well-known "new great inventions" of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.
High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008.Since then，the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016，more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020，one-fifth of the country's 150，000-km railway network will be used by the trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society”. Instead of paying by cash（现金），customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat Pay on their mobile phones.
Shared bikes
China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays，bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps.
Online shopping
With around 751 million Internet users，China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements（执照要求），it's easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. In 2016，more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created，with over 8.1 million running their own online shops.

In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions which have changed our lives. The plane has made international travel faster and easier. The Internet has brought people closer. And you must know the names of some famous inventors like Henry Ford and Steve Jobs. But there are many everyday objects which you probably don't notice and you don't know who invented them. Take Nils Bohlin for example，who invented the modern- day car seat belt (安全带)．
Before 1959, only two point seat belts were available, and the only people who often wore them were race car drivers. The two point seat belt couldn't protect passengers from internal injuries(内伤) during serious car accidents.
In 1958, Bohlin joined Volvo Car Corporation as a safety engineer. He came up with the three point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three point seat belt used one strap(带子) across the chest(胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at the same place. Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before.
The three point seat belt was introduced on Volvo cars in 1959. For more people's safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design(设计) available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlin's.
At the time of Bohlin's death in September 2002, Volvo said that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.
4.The writer develops his ideas in Paragraph 1 by ________．
A. telling a joke B. giving some examples
C. asking some fun questions D. describing a personal experience
5.What can we learn about the two point seat belt
A．It was sold worldwide.
B．It was not easy to wear.
C．It saved over one million lives.
D．It was popular with race car drivers only.
6.The underlined word “collisions” in Paragraph 3 means “________” in Chinese in this passage.
A．碰撞 B．清洗 C．制造 D．修理
7.Bohlin invented the three point seat belt ________．
A．in the early 1950s
B．to get a job at Volvo
C．while working at Volvo
D．after having a car accident
8.The best title of this passage is ________．
A．Car safety
B．A great car company
C．A lifesaving invention
D．Different kinds of seat belts
C. 阅读理解七选五
1. It has around 3 billion fans—nearly half the world's population! And about 300 million people play this game. That's 4 percent of the world's population!
2. Many people in old days played early forms of this modern game. Cuju(蹴鞠), a ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2,500 B.C. Around the same time in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game with any part of the body except hands.
But modern soccer didn't become official(官方的)until 1863. An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association(联盟). 3. From then on, other associations in the countries were set up. They came together to build up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup.
It's not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular. 4. Soccer needs only two feet and a ball. This makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play. Some of the sport's best players come from these poor nations.
5. The sport's no-hands rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field. What's more, this sport excites the heart. Teams might score only a few times each match, so matches can turn around suddenly.
No one knows who will win at the next World Cup. But one thing is certain: The world will be watching.
A. He also wrote the sport's official rules. B. Soccer is the world's favorite sport. C. Soccer performances are pleasing to the eyes. D. It's hard to say where soccer's birthplace is. E. But one reason is how simple the sport is. F. People love soccer as well as their countries. G. Playing soccer is good for your health.

In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions which have changed our lives. The plane has made international travel faster and easier. The Internet has brought people closer. And you must know the names of some famous inventors like Henry Ford and Steve Jobs. But there are many everyday objects which you probably don't notice and you don't know who invented them. Take Nils Bohlin for example who invented the modern day car seat belt (安全带)．
Before 1959, only two point seat belts were available, and the only people who often wore them were race car drivers. The two point seat belt couldn't protect passengers from internal injuries(内伤) during serious car accidents.
In 1958, Bohlin joined Volvo Car Corporation as a safety engineer. He came up with the three point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three point seat belt used one strap(带子) across the chest(胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at the same place. Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before.
The three point seat belt was introduced on Volvo cars in 1959. For more people's safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design(设计) available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlin's.
At the time of Bohlin's death in September 2002, Volvo said that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.
4.The writer develops his ideas in Paragraph 1 by ________．
A. telling a joke B. giving some examples

5.What can we learn about the two point seat belt

6.The underlined word “collisions” in Paragraph 3 means “________” in Chinese in this passage.
A．碰撞 B．清洗 C．制造 D．修理
7.Bohlin invented the three point seat belt ________．
A．in the early 1950s
B．to get a job at Volvo
C．while working at Volvo
D．after having a car accident
8.The best title of this passage is ________．

1. It has around 3 billion fans—nearly half the world's population! And about 300 million people play this game. That's 4 percent of the world's population!
2. Many people in old days played early forms of this modern game. Cuju(蹴鞠), a ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2,500 B.C. Around the same time in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game with any part of the body except hands.
But modern soccer didn't become official(官方的)until 1863. An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association(联盟). 3. From then on, other associations in the countries were set up. They came together to build up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup.
It's not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular. 4. Soccer needs only two feet and a ball. This makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play. Some of the sport's best players come from these poor nations.
5. The sport's no-hands rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field. What's more, this sport excites the heart. Teams might score only a few times each match, so matches can turn around suddenly.
