B Water is important to all living things, but some areas in the world are short of water a lot. So we should try to protect and save water. A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an "air hand-washing machine”. The machine uses an infrared ray induction system(红外线感 应系统)， which can feel the presence of our hands. If it feels there are hands, the water with the air will come from the tap. And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand-washing. It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand-washing does. The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public. Li Qizhang, a member of the team that developed the machine, told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and that it worked very well. In 2014, a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands.Washing one's hands uses a lot of water, Chen thought. Would it be possible to replace the water with air? Others may not give the question a second thought. However, for Chen and Li, who were studying fluid mechanics(流体力学) at the time, this was considered to be an excellent idea. Soon, Chen, Li and several classmates started on the project. After a year of research, the team came up with a gravity-driven(重力驱动 ) hand-washing machine successfully. 25. The underlined word "presence"means"___________"in Paragraph 2. A.形状 B.存在 C.距离 D.影响 26. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph means"___________". A. other people may spend a second thinking about the question again B. other people may think it is impossible to use air instead of water C. other people may not think or worry about the question at all D. other people may think there is no answer to the question 27.We can infer from the passage that___________. A.the air hand-washing machine will be expensive B.we can wash our hands clean without any electricity C.we can buy the “air hand-washing machine” in the shop now D.the students developed the machine by the knowledge of fluid mechanics 28.Which of the following is TRUE about the “air hand-washing machine” ? A.A company was set up to produce the machine. B.It doesn’t need any water when you wash your hand. C.It was invented by two students from Zhejiang University. D.The idea of the machine came to Chen’s mind in a sudden. C On February 9th ,2013 Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives. Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning.She and her husband,Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, but also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had. Bill Krejci,a web designer,felt that he needed to do something for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special web page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seemed to be no end yet. That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that's not all-thanks to the news report, he got together again with his elder brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years. 第 3页 共 5页 校区 班级 姓名 沈 阳 市 南 昌 初 级 中 学 All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing-returning something that did not belong to him. 29.When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring?

In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work. In 1891,Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit. Then,he became the Chief Engineer in 1893. This gave him enough time and money to pay attention to his personal experiments. Henry Ford realized his dream of producing a car with the Model T（T 型车） in 1908.This car started a new era（时代）in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, and immediately became a huge success. By 1918, half of all cars in America were Model Ts. To meet the growing need for the Model T, Ford’s company opened a large factory. In this factory, workers worked at the same place all the time. A belt sent the parts of the cars to workers. They added one part to each car as it moved past them on the line. The introduction of the moving assembly line(装配线 ) greatly improved production of cars and cut down the costs. Ford’s production of Model Ts made his company the largest car company in the world. The company began building the world's largest industrial center along the banks of the Rouge River during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By September 1927, all steps in the producing process took place at the vast Rouge Plant, characterizing Henry Ford’s idea of mass production(大批量生产). 61.
