四、阅读理解
(伟大发明)How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a cell phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not 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 structure. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. They were able to determine (测定) midday.
About 3,500 years ago, the Egyptians made a sundial. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure (测量) 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 which didn't use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one container (容器) to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it moves a lever (控制杆) and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,500 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China, but they failed to keep accurate (精确的) time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more accurate, but was expensive to make. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1,500. This improved accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller.
In 1928, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build and own. 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 (人造卫星) send our cell phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping, but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.
( )1.How many ways of telling the time are mentioned in the text
A.6. B.7.
C.8. D.9.
( )2.If there is no sun today, which way can't tell people the time
A.A quartz clock.
B.A digital clock.
C.A sundial.
D.A water clock.
( )3.If a person lived in China 3, 400 years ago, how would he know the time
A.By using the sun clock.
B.By using the mechanical clock.
C.By using the cell phone.
D.By using the water clock.
( )4.What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph
A.Many people still can't do things on time.
B.People can do anything on time.
C.People are too lazy to do anything on time.
D.Any way of telling time can't tell the time to the exact second.
五、任务型阅读
(振兴乡村文化)Li Bolin and her students write poems (诗) outdoors.She began to consider changing her way of teaching to make the children more interested in her classes. “Grades are important but not the most important thing. I expect to find a way to open their hearts and relax themselves,” she said.
Li Bolin said,“Children think differently from adults. And I found that they had the ability to express things well, so I thought if they could write poems, it might be interesting.” In the beginning, they could only write short sentences. But through reading and practicing, the students could soon create complete poems. And Li further connected the creative writing with her art, music and sports classes.
To make her students show greater love for poetry, she brought her students to have classes in the fields or by the riversides. She let them experience the gentle wind blowing across the hills. She also guided them to enjoy the joy of watching a bee among the flowers. Li also encouraged her students to observe (观察) and record the world around by using their imaginations. By June, 2023, Li has directed the children to write more than 1,600 poems.
