When you think of a roller coaster(过山车)，what comes to mind？Is it a modern metal machine that allows young people to go very fast on a track If so，you're like most people. But what came before these quick and huge roller coasters Let's jump into the history of this exciting ride.
The Russians might be the first to build “roller coasters”．In the 1600s，they built tall wooden ramps(斜坡) and covered them with water in winter，which soon turned into ice. To ride them，people would climb up a 21 meter ladder(梯子). After being pushed，the riders would enjoy speeding down a 183 meter long ramp. Big cities and small towns enjoyed it very much.
The Frenchmen took the idea back to France in the early 1800s and named it “the Russian mountain”．Because it is warm in France，the French started to use wax(蜡) instead of ice. Later，they began adding wheels to the sleds(雪橇) for all of the seasons.
The idea of riding roller coasters didn't make it across the Atlantic Ocean until the early 19th century. The Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway was the first coaster in the US. In the beginning，it was built to carry coal. The railway went through a 14 kilometer long downhill track in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
The golden age of roller coasters lasted the whole 1920s. During this time，designers were making roller coasters taller，longer，and faster than ever before. The Great Depression(大萧条) of the 1930s and World War Ⅱ put an end to popularity of roller coasters.
In 1955，Walt Disney brought back the popularity of roller coasters by building a new amusement park in California，US—Disneyland. A new type of roller coaster，the Matterhorn Bobsleds，opened in Disneyland in 1959. It was built with steel. Using steel allowed the roller coaster to go in many more directions than the wooden ramps did in the past. This idea changed the roller coaster industry into what it is today.
( )50. How does the writer begin the text
A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions.
( )51. How tall is the first roller coaster
A．About 21 meters tall. B．About 42 meters tall. C．About 183 meters tall.
( )52. Which is the correct order of the following things in the text
a．Sleds with wheels b．Wooden ramps with ice
c．Wooden ramps with wax d．Roller coasters made of steel
A．c－b－a－d B．b－a－c－d C．b－c－a－d
( )53. What is the text mainly about
A．The history of roller coasters. B．The popularity of roller coasters.
C．Different roller coasters around the world.

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. It's said that the Egyptians made a sundial(日晷) about 3，500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure 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. The water clock was the first clock not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level，it moves a lever(控制杆) and this shows the time. 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(机械的) 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 1936 the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. It's easy for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business or markets and so on. More recently，in 1956，came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites(卫星) 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 missing appointments.
( )54. According to the text，what can't we use to tell the time on a rainy day
A．A water clock. B．A sun clock. C．A quartz clock.
( )55. What does the underlined word “ordinary” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Traditional. B．Special. C．Common.
( )56. What is the best structure of the text？(①＝Paragraph 1…)
( )57. What could be the best title for the text
A．The Importance of Time B．The Development of Timekeeping
C．The Inventions of Clocks

根据短文内容，从框内6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。
A．Think about the problems. B．They usually drive you crazy. C．Think about where your talents lie. D．So treat your failures like progress. E．Inventions don't need to be completely new ideas. F．But he accepted every failure and finally succeeded.
Where do you get ideas for inventions
Improve the existing(现有的) things.
58．____ If you can improve upon a thing that already exists，you are making the invention happen. If you're really creative and good at engineering，you could try inventing a new car that saves more energy and helps protect the earth.
59．____
There are all kinds of problems in your daily life，such as forgetting to bring the keys，losing the phones and so on. 60. ___
However，you can think of ways to solve them. While it's possible to come up with the problem you're going to solve after you have an idea for an invention，it's much easier to identify the problem first.
Keep an open mind.
Let your ideas flow freely，and don‘t write a possible product off just because it’s a little strange. Some of the best ideas are developed accidentally. 61. ___For example，Thomas Edison tried about 2，000 different materials before he made the light bulb. Some people asked him to give up the experiments. 62. ___

阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(63至66题每题答案不超过3个单词，67题须用完整句子回答。)
Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them are almost 30，000 years old. Many of these paintings show animals or hunting scenes. The images do not have written words. But when we look at them，we get an idea of how people felt when drawing them. The paintings tell stories of hopes and fears. They are an early form of communication.
Sometime between 4000 and 3000 BCE，people in Egypt developed the skill of writing. They engraved(雕刻) text on stone tablets first. But it was impossible to carry stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus(纸莎草纸) allowed documents to be moved easily. Writing on papyrus made it easier to correct mistakes，too.
People made the first books from papyrus and thin animal skins. Paper was invented in China as early as 105 CE. The quality of paper soon became very good. The world's oldest known printed book is from China，too. It was published on May 11，868 CE. In Europe，books were written by hand until the middle of the 15th century when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany. Since that time，almost 140 million books have been published(出版) worldwide. For many people，one of life's greatest pleasures is spending a few hours reading books in a bookshop.
Books will be around for many years，of course. But some people prefer(更喜欢) reading e books. They are easier to take when you travel，and you can download them immediately from the Internet. Now you can buy your books whenever you want without having to leave the comfort of your home.
63．The cave paintings are an early form of ________________．
64. The invention of papyrus made people move documents and correct mistakes _____________．
65．People made the first books from papyrus and ____________．
66．After _________________was invented，a large number of books were published around the world.

I think the mobile phone is a great invention. The first mobile phone was invented in 1973. Since then，the world has been changed because of the useful invention.
It can be used in many ways. We can talk，send messages，listen to music，and surf the Internet on it. And with the development of artificial intelligence，the mobile phone seems smarter. The phone itself can know what you are photographing. And it can make your photo look better.
