二、阅读理解
(一)
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 dreamt of.
( )1. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. It mainly talks about why cars were very important.
B. It mainly talks about when the light was invented.
C. It mainly talks about how inventions affect people’s daily life.
D. It mainly talks about which country made the first step into space.
C
( )2. Why did people begin to work in the 1800s
A. In order to make explorations. B. In order to make life better.
C. In order to make discoveries. D. In order to make a trip to space.
( )3. Which of the following came out of five years before Nylon
A. Radio. B. Camera. C. Jet planes. D. Movies.
B
C
( )4. What can help cure diseases to make people live longer lives
Doctors.
B. New ways.
C. Medicines.
D. New hospitals.
