It was created in China. No one knows who first invented it. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process and this man was Cai Lun (62-121), who was born during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).    Cai Lun often paid visits to the countryside workshops when he took office as Shang-fang Ling an officer in control of making instruments and weapons. Inspired by women who raised silkworms (蚕), he used many materials to make paper, such as bark (树皮), pieces of net normally used to catch fish, and pieces of used cloth. He broke these materials down into very small pieces and finally produced a kind of paper. In 105, Cai Lun showed his paper-making process and pieces of paper to Emperor He of Han (汉和帝). His way to make paper was strongly praised by the Emperor and it soon got popular. The paper made in this way, known as Cai Hou Paper, was used across the country. Today, Cai Lun is still remembered as the inventor of the paper-making process, one of the Four Great Inventions of China. He is regarded as the father of the modern paper industry. In 2007, Cai Lun was listed as one of the “Best Inventors in Recorded History” by the American Time. His paper-making process was specially shown in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. ( )49．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The process. B．The paper. C． The history.

A．d-b-a-c B．d-a-b-c C． b-d-a-c ( )52．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Cai Hou Paper: The Most Widely Used Paper B．Cai Lun: The Inventor of Paper-making Process C．Paper-making Process: One of the Four Great Inventions of China C Many of us have this experience: a piece of music keeps playing in our heads when we are awake. It turns out this can happen during sleep as well. And it can cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep. “Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including while we are asleep,” said the neuroscientist(神经科学家) Michael Scullin. His research team surveyed 199 people and made a sleep test on 50 volunteers. They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms(洗脑音乐), before bedtime influenced our sleep. In the survey, people who listened to music during the day were more likely to report nighttime earworms. That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality through the night. For the lab test, volunteers were played several earworms and then their sleep quality was tested. Earworms were reported throughout the night. They needed longer time to fall asleep and woke up more times during the night. We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know people would regularly(经常地) wake up from sleep with an earworm,” says Michael, “But we saw that in both the survey and the test.” People used to believe that listening to music could help them have a better sleep, because it can relax the body. But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the music stops, our brains continue to process it for several hours. Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a song taking hold in our minds. “Doing some other activities, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might help clear the mind,” Michael said. ( )53. Michael and his team did the research to find out _______. A. the influence of earworms on our sleep B. why nighttime earworms happen C. the influence of bad sleep on our health ( )54. The underlined word “limit” has the closest meaning to “_______”. A. increase B. control C. share ( )55. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Listening to music before going to bed is good for health. B. People can do some sports to relax the body before sleeping. C. The more we listen to music, the worse sleep we may have. ( )56. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To help readers improve sleep quality. B. To tell readers about the recent research. C. To ask readers to stop listening to music. D We should all have at least one fire extinguisher(灭火器) somewhere in our house or office building. However, it's not enough to simply keep an extinguisher somewhere. The best way to be ready for a fire is to study this guide carefully and go over it often. Have a clear exit route(路线) Before using the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear exit route. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to make a safe exit Also, make sure everyone else is out. Call the fire department(消防部门) Even if the fire seems possible to control, you should always have the fire department on the way. Once the firemen arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out. Stand back Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the fire as you prepare to operate(操作) the fire extinguisher. Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire. One way to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember the four steps of “PASS”process. ●P – Pull: Pull the pin(保险销) on the fire extinguisher. ◆A— Aim: Aim at the bottom of the fire. Point the nozzle(喷嘴) at the base of the fire, instead of the flames. ●S— Squeeze: Squeeze(挤压) the handles(手柄) to release the extinguisher chemicals. ●S — Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is put out. Keep an eye on things After the fire seems to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn't start burning again. If the fire does start up again, repeat the“PASS” process. Get to a safe place Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave the scene. Find a place out of reach of the fire. ( )57.
