内容正文:
这是1908年来的兄弟在法国公开试飞他们发明的飞机,他娴熟地驾驶着飞机在空中盘旋,然而这并不是人类首次在空中飞行,在莱特兄弟之前,已经有几位航空先驱在进行了飞行试验。那么为什么说莱特兄弟才是飞机的发明者呢?因为莱特兄弟的飞机是有动力的持续飞行,并且他们的飞行器是可受控制的,所以他们的首次飞行被国际航空联合会所认可,发明这架飞机的过程充满了曲折。下面我们了解一下他们是如何成功发明飞机的。威尔伯莱特是1867年出生在美国,弟弟奥维尔莱特比哥哥小四岁,兄弟俩都是高中没有毕业。1892年,兄弟俩开办了一家自行车销售和维修店,他们一直从新闻杂志上关注着航空器的信息。航空先驱们的事迹激励着兄弟俩将想法付诸事件。莱特兄弟认真研究了困扰航空先驱们的飞行难题,归纳起来有机翼、发动机和飞行控制三点。其中前两点上,航空先驱们已经积累了丰富的技术经验,反而是对飞行控制系统不够重视。当时的飞行先驱们往往醉心于打造大马力引擎,然后装在飞行控制系统还没有验证过的飞机上,在没有飞行经验的情况下草草起飞,造成了许多飞行先驱们的坠亡。所以莱特兄弟一开始并不着急打造动力飞机,而是通过制造滑翔机来优化飞控系统以及培养操作技巧。当时的航空研究者总是假定航空器会保持在一定的高度,然后把船舶和汽车的转向原理套用过去。莱特兄弟则提出通过倾斜机身来转向,为此他们发明了桥区机翼。1900年,莱特兄弟用制造的第一架滑翔机进行试飞,由于试飞中自由滑翔的次数太少,所以没能彻底检验机翼的工作情况。1901年,他们用改进的新型滑翔机再次试飞,但是新型滑翔机获得的升力只有理论值的3分之1。他们计算升力是使用这个方程式,其中一直沿用下来的空气压力系数是0.0054,所以他们怀疑这个系统不太准确。为此,莱特兄弟打造了一台小型风洞,使用了二百多种不同类型的微缩模型进行风洞测试,由此他们获得了更为精确的空气压力系数和激战险比的知识。莱特兄弟终于在1902年完成了首次飞行转向控制的试飞,并且他们发明的飞机三轴控制系统在1903年申请了专利。现在是时候打造动力飞机了。莱特兄弟用高强度的云杉木来建造机翼,用了一台铝铸钢铁的燃油喷射发动机作为飞机引擎,花了不到1000美元就打造了飞行者一号。1903年12月17日,飞行者一号首次飞行了12秒,共36.5米,这标志着动力飞机的成功发明。1904年,莱特兄弟又建造了飞行者二号。8月13日,飞行者二号的飞行距离达到了四百多米,9月20日,试飞的飞行距离达到了1244米。1905年,莱特兄弟又制造了飞行者三号,这架飞机试飞的飞行时间能持续20分钟,飞行距离达到了40公里。莱特兄弟相信他们的飞机已经有了商业价值,他们在1906年到1907年的时间里,开始游说美国和欧洲政府购买自己的飞机。1908年9月,莱特兄弟为美国陆军做了一次成功的试飞,飞行的时间超过了1个小时。在接下来的几周里,他连连刷新飞行高度和持续飞行时间的记录。他的飞机满足了美军所要求的双座飞机搭载一名乘客、续航一小时、平均时速64公里并无损伤着陆的条件。他们以3万美金的价格将飞机出售给美国通信兵团航空部还为此成立了莱特公司经营飞机生意。那个时候会买飞机的客户还不太多,但是莱特兄弟培养出了许多飞行员,为了飞机事业,兄弟俩终生都没有结婚,如果换做是你,你愿意接受这么大的牺牲吗?

The ballpoint pen was invented by László Bíró in 1938. At that time, fountain pens were not convenient. They often leaked and their ink dried slowly, so Bíró decided to create a better writing tool.
It was made of plastic, metal and quick-drying ink. The inventor had many difficulties. It was not easy to design the tiny metal ball and stop the pen from leaking. After lots of tests, he made it.
This great invention led to a cheap and convenient way of writing. Now ballpoint pens are widely used all over the world and bring great convenience to our daily life.
Write about the invention you have chosen using the information from 3b.

真题速递
As the saying goes, “A good idea can change the world.” I strongly believe that ideas have great power. Here are my thoughts on this topic.
Ideas are powerful enough to change the world. Many great inventions, such as the Internet, came from simple creative thoughts.
Good ideas won’t appear easily. We need to observe daily life, keep curious and ask more questions. Besides, valuable ideas can be improved through collaboration with partners.
As middle school students, we should develop creative thinking. We’d better keep curious and dare to put forward new opinions. Don’t fear failures, for they can guide us to turn ideas into reality.
In short, never stop thinking and creating.
