阅读短文A, 从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出问题的最佳答案。
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 not 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 3,400 years 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 watch was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. 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, in 1956, 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 sill have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
26．According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ tell the time on a rainy day.
A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock
27．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph
A．现代的 B．特殊的 C．富有的 D．普通的
28．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage
A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven.
29．Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage
(①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2...)
A． B．
C． D．
30．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．The importance of time. B．The development of timekeeping
C．The inventions of clocks. D．The history of a digital clock.
B

阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
A
Once upon a time，a hippo （河马）lived in a river next to a big tree．
One day，a bird came and nested （筑巢）in the tree．The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy （羡慕）that he couldn’t think of anything else．Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer．
Finally，the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river，climb the tree and start singing．However，when he tried to climb the tree，it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings，nor claws to climb with．
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree，he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground．Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree，and began singing．
Unfortunately，hippos can’t sing，either．All that came from his mouth were terrible noises，and when the other animals heard this，they all came around to make fun of the hippo．
He was so ashamed by this．He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over．He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again，and look after it until it completely recovered（康复）．

It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data (数据) from 27 countries and regions (地区) that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (每公顷).
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing.
Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.
One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation (种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.
65. Why is it hard to turn down a tasty banana
_____________________________________________________________________________
66. Why may bananas disappear by 2050
_____________________________________________________________________________
67. Which country is the biggest producer of bananas in the world
_____________________________________________________________________________
68. Where does the bananas we grow come from, shoot cuttings or seeds
_____________________________________________________________________________
69. If one banana plantation suffers Panama in 2022, which year can it grow bananas again
