A
In 1780 James Watt produced art efficient steam engine which powered 40 machines in a Glasgow factory. That date is normally taken as the beginning of the Industrial Age. Since then industrial development has changed our way of life more and more. The revolution in communications, for example, has made the world seem much smaller. The invention of the telephones in 1876 by another Scotsman, Bell, and Marconi’s first radio broadcast 19 years later were both important developments. But the Italian inventor's early radios seem very primitive compared with modern portable radios. These were made possible by the invention of the transistor by W. B. Shockley in the USA in 1948. This device replaced the valve in radios.
There have been many changes in transport, too, since the development of the wheel, 6 000 years ago. Daimler and Benz, both Germans, built one of the first practical petrol-driven motor cars in 1885. Only 18 years later, the Wright brothers, from America, flew their first plane. Now, we have jets and, since the work of Christopher Cockerell in Britain in the 1950's, the hovercraft.
In medicine, the most significant advance came in 1928, when Sir Alexander Fleming, also an Englishman, discovered, penicillin, which has saved countless lives since.
( )19. Which of these was invented or discovered first
A. the telephone B. penicillin C. the transistor D. the steam engine
( )20. James Watt was___________
A. an engineer. B. an English teacher C. a writer. D. a doctor
( )21. Our way of life has changed greatly ever since _________
A. James Watt produced an efficient steam engine.
B. the revolution in communications.
C. the discovery of penicillin.
D. we have jets.

As a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20. While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later, he was a billionaire. And by 1992, as head of the Microsoft Company, he became the richest man in America.
Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by Harvard University and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he was still obsessed (占据心思)with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and his partners had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it. BASIC was a success. Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.
As Chief Executive Officer (首席执行官) of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man, but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to criticize (批评) his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner; an unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Melinda French on New Year's Day 1994. Yet to most people now, Gates is a person who is, in spite of his great wealth, humble (谦恭) and ordinary. He spends his money carefully and eats in fast-food restaurants.
( )22. When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be a ______.
A. teacher B. doctor C. businessman D. professor
( )23. When Gates went to Harvard, he ______.
A. was interested only in maths.
B. spent most of his time in computer laboratories. -
C. developed the first computer software program
D. divided his time between his maths studies and the computer laboratories
( )24. Before the development of BASIC, ______.
A. no one was interested in computer software
B. software programs were not considered commercial (商业的) projects.
C. software programs were very expensive
D. no one wanted to pay for computer software
( )25. Most people think Gates is ______.
A. a crazy person
B. a person obsessed with making money
C. someone who spends money freely
D. a quite common, normal person

I think it is very helpful to me. Taking exercise makes me healthier so that I won’t be ill very often. What’s more, I also get myself relaxed in different kinds of sports, and then I do the better job in my study in high spirit. By doing physical exercise, I’m becoming stronger and more confident than before. I think it is necessary for everyone to spend some time on sports every day because people’s health is essential in modern life.
