　　Time is one of the world's deepest mysteries. No one can say exactly what it is. Yet, the ability to measure time makes our way of life possible. Most human activities involve groups of people acting together in the same place at the same time. People could not do this if they did not all measure time in the same way.

　　One way of thinking about time is to imagine a world without time. This timeless world would be at a standstill. But if some kind of change took place, that timeless world would be different “now” than it was “before”. The period－no matter how soon－between “before” and “now” suggests that time must have passed. Thus, time and change are related because the passing of time depends on changes taking place. In the real world, changes never stop happening. Some changes seem to happen only once, like the falling of a particular leaf. Other changes happen over and over again, like the breaking of waves against the shore.

　　Any change that takes place again and again stands out from other changes. The rising and setting of the sun are examples of such change. The first people to keep time probably counted such natural repeating events and used them to keep track of events that did. not repeat. Later, people made clocks to imitate the regularity of natural events. When people began to count repeating events, they began to measure time.

1．We must have the same way of measuring of time because ________.

[　　]

A．it is a mystery no one can explain exactly

C．otherwise we could not do our activities properly

[　　]

A．the timeless world be different between “now” and “before”

B．if there were no time, there should be no change

C．the world would remain still if we couldn't measure time

D．the world would stop change unless time permitted

3．People learnt to measure time ________.

[　　]

A．when they saw the falling of a particular leaf

B．after they were able to make clocks

C．because some events did not repeat

D．when they learnt to count repeating happenings

4．Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”． Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

　　Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic． My daughter comes home from school at 4：00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day． If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

　　Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone． “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone． She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton． Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue．

　　Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets． It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went．

　　Point 4 The telephone separates us． Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window． It was easy to get his number． We were so near－but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

　　Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives． Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does． I wouldn’t know what to talk about)． We can talk across the world． We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking． And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth．

1．What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?

[　　]

A．People don’t communicate without telephone．

B．People communicate because of the creating of the telephone．

C．People have communicated more since the telephone was created．

D．People communicate more because of more traffic．

2．Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

[　　]

A．Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency．

B．Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people．

C．Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged．

D．Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting．

3．Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a． Point 1． b． Point 2． c． Point 3． d． Point 4． e． Point 5．
