How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow(影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3, 500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3, 400years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.

The invention of barcodes(条形码) is based on a very simple idea. We only need to give each product a specific number and print it. (17) We could simply print the number itself. But this can cause problems. For example, an unclearly printed“seven”could look like a“ one ” to a computer. It's also true for “ three ” and “ eight ”. (18) We need a better way of printing numbers so that they can be read correctly at high speeds. That's the problem barcodes solve.
Each number in a barcode is shown by seven blocks of the same size. These are colored either black or white to show the number zero to nine. For example, the number“one”is shown in turn by two white stripes(条), two black stripes, two white stripes, and one black stripe. (19)
A barcode includes different parts and each one provides a specific meaning. The first part of a barcode tells you the country where the product was made. For example, 690-692 is the barcode for China. (20) The final part is about the product itself. This is how barcodes work.
根据短文内容，从方框中选出四个选项填入文中空缺处，使短文内容通顺完整，有一项多余。
A. Then computers can read it directly.
B. All information can be shown by barcodes
C. The next part tells you who produced the product.
D. And“nine” looks similar to“six” if you turn it upside down.
E. Even if you turn it upside down, it isn’t similar to any other number.

四、阅读表达(共5小题，计10分)
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
If you've ever walked through fog(雾), you might have noticed that your skin and hair get wet. This is because fog is made of tiny water drops. Scientists are helping people collect these drops to make drinking water.
In some towns, there is no fresh water. People there have to use trucks to carry fresh water. It is expensive.
Since rain falls to the ground, it can easily be collected into tanks(水箱). But the water drops that make up fog don't hit the ground. Instead, they float(漂浮) in the air. To turn fog into water, you have to catch the water drops.
A fog catcher is made of nets with two posts. The nets are usually set up on a hilltop. As fog passes by, the nets catch the water drops. The drops run down the nets and into channels. The channels lead the water into large tanks where it can be stored. A fog catcher can collect 10, 000 liters of water a day. Scientists have helped set up fog catchers for towns in Chile, Nepal and Mexico.
Fog catchers are a great way for people in small and lonely towns to have their own fresh water. Centuries before scientists created fog-catching nets, nature was making fog into water on its own. As fog passed through the mountains, large leaves got the drops just like the nets do. People learned to drink the water collected on the leaves. Thanks to modern fog catchers, enough water can be made for a whole town!

38. What is a fog catcher made of
39. How much water can a fog catcher collect a day
40. How did people get water to drink centuries ago
