There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long ways.
For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much influence 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 (探索) much any more. They began to work instead 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 became a big part of our 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, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
By this time most people had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
21．Man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot ________
A．In the 1960s B．Since the 1900s
C．From the 1800s to the 1960s D．At the beginning of the 1800s
22．What came out nearly at the same time as Nylon
A．The radio. B．The camera. C．The jet plane. D．The movie.
23．Which is the right order of the following inventions
A．light-helicopter-computer B．wheel-jet plane-helicopter
C．computer-radio-camera D．movie with sound-wheel-nylon
24．What do the underlined words “a desire” mean
A．A good way. B．A strong wish. C．A new invention. D．A wonderful idea.
25．What does the text mainly talk about
A．When light was invented. B．Why cars were very important.
C．Which countries made steps into space. D．What inventions were made in different ages.

I’ve always thought my house is in the worst possible place. I live on the edge of town. My little community of twenty-something houses is about 800 meters away from any other community.
Every night, my parents drive home along a rather lonely, forest-lined road to get home. It’s hard for me to carpool with classmates and their parents. But yesterday, I found it is fantastic to live where I do.
Yesterday, the whole state of New Jersey, where I live, experienced a snowstorm. When I woke up in the morning, my backyard was a blanket of snow. Everything seemed so clean, as if nature had decided to cover everything and started anew. As I stood by the glass door to have a look, a family of deer galloped past my yard. It was like a scene taken out of Bambi!
But that was just the beginning. My family keeps a package of bird feed next to the porch. Every now and then, my mom leaves some feed on the porch for birds to eat. Later that day, while I was eating lunch, I noticed a flash of red in front of the window. Two of the most brilliant cardinals sat on two wooden posts outside my window, pecking away at grains of feed. Their bright red coats stood in contrast to the whiteness outside. The scene took my breath away.
When my parents came home that night, I reported to them my findings from the day.
“You know,” my mom said, “If we lived anywhere else, you wouldn’t be able to see any of this.”
She was right.
I always dreamed of living and working in a large city when I grow up. But now, I also cherish the quiet beauty that a suburban backyard offers.

A．He thinks his house is in the worst possible place. B．He is indifferent about where he lives.

D．He is planning to move to a larger city.
29．When did the writer realize that living in the suburbs had its benefits
A．When it was hard for them to carpool with classmates.
B．When their parents drove home on a lonely, forest-lined road.

A pen has always been a necessary tool when we take exams. However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.
Cambridge University is considering ending hundreds of years of written exams and allowing students to use laptops to take exams instead.
The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained that students’ handwriting is becoming too hard to recognize. As a result, more and more students are being forced to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud. The worsening of handwriting could largely be the result of students’ depending on laptops too much.
Some disagreed on the move, fearing the handwritten words would become a lost art.
Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert urged (力劝) Cambridge to make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures. She explained that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
However, senior officials at the university believed it was unfair to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their coursework was done on computers.
Harvard professor Eric Mazur believes that the rise of mobile Internet access means that we live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything. He encourages students to bring their laptops and mobile phones into exams. With them, students can look up whatever they want whenever they want and be tested on their creative and analytical (分析的) skills, rather than the ability to remember information.
31．What is Cambridge University thinking about
A．It’s thinking about stopping students from using laptops in exams.
B．It’s thinking about allowing students to use digital tools to take exams.
C．It’s thinking about helping students improve their handwriting.
D．It’s thinking about helping students understand lessons better.
32．What does the underlined word “recognize” mean in Paragraph 3
A．思考 B．模仿 C．识别 D．记忆
33．Why does Tracey think Cambridge should make students continue to write by hand
A．She thinks it’s too difficult for students to use digital tools.
B．Digital tools are too expensive for students.
C．Students prefer to write by hand.
D．She thinks writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.
34．Which of the following might Eric agree with
A．It was unfair to expect students to use computers in coursework.
B．We don’t need to memorize anything in a digital age.
C．We mustn’t allow students to bring their laptops into exams.
D．Mobile Internet access can test students’ ability to remember information.
