It is known as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. It is widely used now. Do you know who invented it? In 1851,Elias Howe,the inventor of sewing machine,re- ceived a patent(专利权) for a device(装置) . It had a similar function to the modern zipper. It is the first semblance(类似 品)of zipper. But he did not continue developing his model. In the 1890,people in the US wore high shoes with a long row of buttons. Clothes often had rows of buttons,too. People wished that clothes were easier to put on and take off. In 1893,Whitcomb Judson developed a device called the “Clasp Locker” . Unlike Howe,he decided to market his in- vention. However,his product did not catch the public’s at- tention because it didn’ t stay closed very well. All was not lost. One of Judson’ s engineers,a Swedish gentleman named Gideon Sundback,began working on dif- ferent designs for the clasp locker. At last he created the first modern zipper in 1917. The name“zipper”was given to ·35· the invention by B. F. Goodrich Company when they decided to use Sundback’ s product for their shoes. But the zipper became really popular when French designers used them in 1937 in their jeans. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )21. When was the modern zipper created? A. In 1851. 　 　 　 　 　 　 B. In 1890. C. In 1893. D. In 1917. (　 　 )22. 【词义猜测】What does the underlined word“mod- el”refer to? A. The clasp locker. B. The modern zipper. C. The sewing machine. D. The semblance of zipper. (　 　 )23. Why did not“Clasp Locker”catch the public’s at- tention? A. Because people didn’ t need it. B. Because people didn’ t like the name. C. Because it didn’ t stay closed very well. D. Because it had a different function to the mod- ern zipper. (　 　 )24. Who gave the name“zipper” to the invention? A. Elias Howe. B. Whitcomb Judson. C. Gideon Sundback. D. B. F. Goodrich Company. (　 　 )25. 【最佳标题】What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Zipper B. Different Names of Zipper C. The Great Inventors of Zipper D. Different Zippers B Long, long ago, people made fires from lightning ( 闪 电) . But they had to keep the fire burning,for they couldn’ t start it again if there was no lightning. Later,they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark(火 花) . The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦) . They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire. Years went by,people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago,people began to make mat- ches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used,but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an elec- tric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )26. From the text we know that a spark can 　 　 　 . A. fire any leaves B. burn anything C. burn dry leaves D. keep the fire burning (　 　 )27. We can also get a fire by 　 　 　 　 . A. making a hole in a big piece of wood B. putting a smaller stick into the hole C. turning the stick hard for a while D. doing all the above in order (　 　 )28. Matches have been used 　 　 　 　 .

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well,next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’ s position(位置) . It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS,which means Global Positioning System,is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand,or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, ·45· planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps,so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand,or have it fixed into your car,plane,etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its posi- tion. The third part of the system is a network of ground sta- tions. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的) . There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Every- one will have one and you will never be lost again. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 ) 31. According to the passage,with the help of the GPS,people 　 　 　 　 . A. can’ t be lost in a new city B. can’ t find their way in different countries C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place D. can spend the least time getting to another place (　 　 )32. We can learn from the passage that 　 　 　 　 . A. there are three parts to the GPS B. a GPS can’ t be put into a watch C. a GPS can help you start your car D. the GPS is becoming more and more expensive (　 　 )33. The underlined word“They” in Paragraph 3 means “　 　 　 　 ” . A. receivers B. GPS devices C. satellites D. ground stations (　 　 )34. 【主旨大意】The passage is mainly about 　 　 　 　 . A. the history of the GPS B. the introduction of the GPS C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS (　 　 )35. What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A. All GPS devices have electronic maps. B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free. C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. D. The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life. D【国际视野】 China has a rich and colorful culture,and masks(面具) have played a major role in Chinese tradition for thousands of years. 　 36　 The reasons are to protect their bodies,to hide themselves,or to do some amusement. In fact,masks are used all over the world. 　 37 　 There are many different kinds of African masks,but many of them represent animals. African masks are a part of full-body costumes and they are made for danc- ers. The dancers usually wear the masks in religious(宗教 的) events. Japanese masks have been used in many different per- formances such as dance, theater, festivals or religious events. They represent heroes,devils(恶魔),ghosts,or some animals in the performances. 　 38　 Greek masks are used to represent the spirits of nature during religious events. 　 39 　 In Rome, devil and other masks are used in carnivals(狂欢节) . 　 40　 根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处 的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A.

What is the most surprising is that it was not 　 56　 earlier,although the great inventor Leonardo Da Vinci had 　 57　 pictures for bicycles and also for flying ma- chines and some other things. Those things were not pro- duced until long after he died. A person riding a bicycle uses very little energy to 　 58　 the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding.

As a result,more people put 　 64　 bikes away and go to work in their cars,and in this way,the situation is made more serious. Perhaps the 　 65　 way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths only for bicycles, and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bi- cycles. 56. 　 　 　 57. 　 　 　 58. 　 　 　 59. 　 　 　 60. 　 　 　 61. 　 　 　 62. 　 　 　 63. 　 　 　 64. 　 　 　 65. 　 　 　 第二节　 阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思 完整。 每空限填一词。 Have you ever been so focused on your phone that you forgot the one sitting right next to you?

A lot of people are interested in these UFOs. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe, some have been ex- plained in scientific ways,and others have never been explained. One report of UFOs came from a British plane on its way from New York to London in 1954.
