Ⅱ．阅读理解(30分)
A
Have you ever noticed something around you that you've never seen before？They all came about because someone invented them．Most inventions begin with an idea．Someone sees a need or a problem．Then he or she thinks of an idea to meet that needs or solve the problem．
But not all inventions happen on purpose．They may be something by working on an idea and invent something else by chance．Or an inventor might make a mistake that turns out to be a good idea．
Between CE 600 and 900, scientists in ancient China were working in a lab when they invented fireworks by accident．They were working on an invention that would help people live forever．They mixed materials together like salt, charcoal(木炭), and sulphur(硫黄)．They put the mixture into pieces of bamboo．Then they threw them into a fire．This is how fireworks were invented．
In 1905, a boy named Frank Epperson left a cup of soda(苏打水) outside all night．It had a wooden stick in it．The soda froze in the cold evening．In the morning, Frank tasted the frozen soda．He shared the frozen soda with his friends．All of them spoke highly of his new invention．It tasted really good！He called his invention “Episicle”．
In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver was researching adhesives(黏合剂) when he discovered one—that stuck to things, but could then be easily taken away．For years he tried to find a use for his invention．At the same time, another scientist named Art Fry was singing．He used small pieces of paper to mark the songs in his book．He needed bookmarks that would stay in place．Silver and Fry discussed their ideas and created the Post it note．

(　D　)13．What's the structure(结构) of the text？(Paragraph 1＝①)

A Bright Idea
Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa．He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp(煤油灯)．Evans' eyes hurt and this made studying difficult．It was common in his village．Many children left school for this reason．．．so they remained poor for the rest of their lives．
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university．He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp．By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family．First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs．Also, the light can hurt people's eyes．Besides, it can lead to fires．Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food．It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment．Yet Evans did not give up．
One day, he had an idea．He could use a small solar(太阳能的) light．Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment．Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked．He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families．An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps．
Each lamp only cost $20．However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down．First, Evans used recycled materials．Next, volunteers built the lamps．Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free．
Thousands of people had safe light．Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook．” The solar lamps made a big difference．
(　C　)16．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Leaving school．
B．Doing homework．
C．Having eye problems．
D．Having a bright idea．
解析：代词指代题。根据“Evans' eyes hurt and this made studying difficult．”可知，Evans的眼睛疼，这使学习很困难。因此this指代“眼睛疼”这件事。
(　C　)17．How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2
A．6．B．5．
C．4．D．3．
解析：细节理解题。根据“First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs．Also, the light can hurt people's eyes．Besides, it can lead to fires．Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food．”可知，首先，它会导致咳嗽等疾病。此外，光线会伤害人们的眼睛。而且，它还可能导致火灾。最后，煤油很贵，所以家庭买食物的钱更少。因此，文章一共提到使用煤油灯的4个问题。
(　A　)18．Put the following information into correct order according to the passage．
a．Evans went to a university．
b．Thousands of people had safe light．
c．His first solar lamp was invented．
d．Kerosene lamps hurt Evans' eyes．
e．Recycled materials were used in the lamps．
f．People from many countries gave away money．
A．d a c e f b B．．d f b a e c
C．a d f e c b D．a e c d f b
解析：细节理解题。根据“He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp．Evans' eyes hurt and this made studying difficult．”可知，煤油灯让Evans的眼睛疼。根据“Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university．”可知，尽管学习非常艰难，Evans是个优秀的学生，并进入了大学。根据“Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked．”可知，Evans制作了第一台太阳能灯。根据“First, Evans used recycled materials．Next, volunteers built the lamps．Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free．”可知，Evans使用回收材料制灯，志愿者也来制灯，最后，来自许多国家的人给他的团队捐款。因此，事件的正确顺序为d a c e f b。
(　B　)19．Why does the writer give Julia's example in Paragraph 5
A．To share Julia's experience．
B．To show Evans' influence．
C．To describe Evans' feelings．
D．To introduce Evans' invention．
解析：推理判断题。根据“Thousands of people had safe light．Julia, a mother of three, said, ‘Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook．’ The solar lamps made a big difference．”可知，成千上万的人有安全的照明。举Julia的例子是为了说明Evans的发明创造给人们带来的影响。
(　D　)20．What is Evans like according to the passage
A．Polite, talented and humorous．
B．Quiet, smart and honest．
C．Humorous, clever and friendly．
D．Hard working, loving and creative．
解析：推理判断题。通读本文可知，Evans在艰苦的学习环境下还上了大学，说明他非常勤奋；他为了解决使用煤油灯带来的一系列问题，发明创造了太阳能灯，说明他富有创造性；他想方设法降低太阳能灯的制作成本，让穷人也能用得上太阳能灯，说明他富有爱心。
