三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）
A
Trevor Graham Baylis was born on 13 May 1937 in Kilburn, London. He is best known for inventing the wind-up radio(the clockwork radio). Trevor was an excellent swimmer. At the age of 15, he swam for Great Britain. Later, he served in the army for four years beginning in 1957. After leaving the army, he joined a company called Purley Pools, which was famous for building the world's first free-standing swimming pool. Later, Trevor left the company and started his own swimming pool company. At the same time, his love of swimming led him to work as a stuntman(特技演员) for television programmes. However, he met many stuntmen who were no longer able to work because of injury. Trevor_decided_to_invent_some_products_for_the_disabled. At his house, there was a special workshop where he invented things.
In the early 1990s, he saw a television programme about the spread of AIDS in Africa. He learned that in many areas in Africa the only means of communication was radio. However, batteries and electricity were too expensive and too difficult to get there. Trevor_wanted_to_help_those_people. At first, Trevor invented a wind-up radio which could play for 14 minutes with a two-minute wind. However, nobody was interested in his invention. Luckily, his invention was featured on the television programme Tomorrow's World. Two businessmen showed a great interest in it. With the money they invested,_Trevor developed his invention and founded a company called Freeplay Energy. In June 1996, the Freeplay radio was awarded the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.

B
The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy，but it's true.Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing，so read on to discover the truth.
★Wrong idea No 1：An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”，but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在)．The Wright Brothers，for example，got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
★Wrong idea No.2：Inventors are born，not made There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible.Take Mozart for an example.He was born with a talent for musical composition.But other factors were also important for his creativity.His father was a music teacher，and Mozart practised for hours every day，from the time he was four years old.Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong.As one inventor said，“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”
★Wrong idea No.3：Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young.Here are two examples of young inventors：Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.When he was fifteen，he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man，George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show.He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea，and he invented the trampoline.
( )36．In the writer's opinion，there are ________ wrong ideas about inventing in the passage.
A． 5 B． 3 C． 4 D． 2
( )37．________ got the idea for building a “flying machine”from watching birds.
A． Mozart B． George Nissen C． Louis Braille D． The Wright Brothers
( )38．The underlined word “talent” means “________” in Chingese.

八、76-80 BFAED
九、We know there have been many great inventions in the world. They have changed the way we live. For example, the first great invention was the wheel. It is still very important today. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. Then many great inventions were made, such as the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our life today.
I think new inventions will allow us to do things we have never dreamed of before. In a word, more inventions are needed. As students, we should study hard. One day, we will have our own new inventions.
