相关题目

We know the famous ones―the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells,but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn't we know who they are?

Joan McLean thinks so. In fact,McLean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented "what"，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, "When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try,"

Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's inven?tion ,"said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major, "I would never have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive. " Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas,a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

( ) 1. By mentioning "traffic light" and " windshield wiper" , the author indicates that countless inventions are .

A. beneficial,because their inventors are famous

B. beneficial,though their inventors are less famous

C. not useful,because their inventors are less famous

D. not useful,though their inventors are famous

( ) 2. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to .

A. add colour and variety to students' campus life

B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention

C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D. prepare students to try their own inventions

( ) 3. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was .

A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

D. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures

( ) 4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?

B. How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window?

C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

David Wroblewski's The Story of Edgar Sawtelle explores the silent world of the novel's hero,Edgar Sawtelle,living in Wisconsin during the middle of the 20th century. Born unable to speak,the boy seems to prefer the language of dogs more than the words of people. From his earliest memories,his favorite job on the farm was to name the new born dogs. As he grows older,his connection with the dogs becomes deeper. He helps to train them through sign lan?guage.

The novel begins with Edgar's grandfather,telling readers about how the dog farm began. When Edgar's father,Gar,dies strangely,Edgar blames his uncle,Claude,his father's younger brother,who has meant nothing but trouble for the family. When Claude falls in love with Edgar's mother,Trudy,Edgar is shocked and very angry.

The story is filled with loving family memories until Claude arrives,returning to the farm he abandoned long ago. Edgar finds Claude to be twofaced. The man presents his best side to Edgar's mother. She falls in love with him,allowing him to fill in the vacant spaces left behind from her husband's death. Edgar sees the other side of Claude,a side that Edgar finds danger?ous.

When tensions become too strong between Edgar and Claude,Edgar takes his favorite dogs and runs away from home. For the story itself,this tension raises the level of curiosity for the reader. It is at this point that the novel takes on the form of a mystery or a sort of detective story. Edgar fears that the police are looking for him because of an accidental death that he played a part in. Readers may worry that Edgar might be caught because Claude tells local offi?cials that Edgar committed murder. In the end,it is Edgar against Claude―a fight to the finish. Unfortunately,there are no winners.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle was Wroblewski's first novel. It took him ten years to com?plete it. Literary critics praise the author's writing,especially in the first half of the story. Some critics,however,hold the opposite opinion. And,some have found the second half to be too artificially operated.

They will soon fast track a new resort at Inuvik,on the Arctic Ocean. It will be extremely popular,mainly because it will be the only beach resort left where people can enjoy a nice cool swim. A six lane (车道) highway will be built so people from across North America can easily access the resort with their SUV's and Winnebagos.

By 2010 parts of the southern States will be abandoned due to the heat and the extreme weather. So,the parts of Las Vegas that can be moved will be moved to Inuvik,along with a bunch of shopping malls.

Immediately next to the beach will be a huge iceberg,made out of white plastic. Penguins and pandas,by popular demand,will be placed on the top; elephants and giraffes will be imported to run around on a platform at the base of the iceberg. Unfortunately the plastic,of course,will soon damage the feet of the animals,so they will all have to wear pink booties. So,as all the animals proudly walk around in their booties,all the Americans will agree that,although Inuvik isn't a Disneyland or a Las Vegas,it certainly is a nice cool place.

In 2010,most of the people in the southern United States will escape the fires,heat,hurricanes,tornados,snow,and flooding by heading north to the Arctic Ocean where they will settle in the resort city of Inuvik. This location not only has a cool ocean to swim in,but at the end of the beach there are two real trees to enjoy. Those trees will look strong and healthy,because they will be nourished and protected by a team of 140 dedicated workers,24 hours a day.

In late June,tourists in Inuvik will love to enjoy themselves for 20 hours a day in real sunshine (which will be mostly smog free,as long as the wind blows from the north) . In the winter,Inuvik will be even busier. It will attract people from around the globe who want to adapt to global warming by escaping.

The escape will last all night long,and in Inuvik in December,that means the party goes on for 24 hours. At the end of the night,as the party comes to an end,everyone will have a chance to pause and relax,then they can plunge into the next night's party. Inuvik will be the most popular resort on the planet.

Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S. D. ，so coming to class isn't the problem. But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to repair motorcycles.

So Steele,a fulltime senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota state system's online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.

"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people," he says. But now,he sets his own schedule.

At least 2. 3 million people took some kinds of online courses in 2004,according to a recent survey by The Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and twothirds of colleges offering " face-to-face" courses also offer online ones. But what were once two distinct types of classes are looking more and more alike and often dipping into the same pool of students.

At some schools,online courses originally intended for nontraditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with oncampus students. A recent study by South Dakota's Board of Regents found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses weren't so distant,they were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.

Numbers vary depending on the policies (政策) of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits. Motives range from lifestyle to offering a job schedule to getting into highdemand courses.

Washington State had about 325 oncampus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and inperson classes at Arizona State last year.

"Business is really about providing options to their customers,and that's really what we want to do," said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator at Black Hills State.

( ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. More and more students prefer to stay at home,chatting on line.

B. Online course is becoming the only way of learning.

C. More and more students prefer classes on line.

D. What does the online course really look like?

( ) 6. The online course in some universities were first arranged for those .

A. who lived on the campus

B. who lived far away from schools

C. who had no money to go to school

D. who were very interested in the computer

( ) 7. The underlined part "two distinct types of classes" (in paragraph 4) probably refers to " ”，

A. face-to-face courses and online courses

B. rich students and poor students

C. colleges and universities

D. students living away and students living nearby

( ) 8. According to the passage,which of the following do you think is NOT true?

A. There are some university students in Washington State taking at least one distance course last year.

B. A recent study shows about two fifths students enrolled in its distanceeducation courses live not so far from campus.

C. Andy Steele,living quite away from his university,has to get up early every morning.

D. Steele,who is a business major,has the online course from the state system.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He had wanted a beautiful 1 in a dealer's showroom,and knowing his father could well 2 it,he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day came near,the young man expected 3 that his father had bought the gift. 4 on the morning of his graduation,his father called him into his own 5 . His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son,and told him how much he loved him. He 6 his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Curious,and somewhat 7 ,the young man opened the box and found a lovely leather bound Bible,with the young man's name written in gold. Angrily,he 8 his voice to his father,and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and 9 out of the house.

Many years passed and the young man was very 10 in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family,but 11 his father was very old,and thought perhaps he should go to see him. 12 he could make arrangements,he received a telegram 13 him his father had passed away and willed all of his 14 to his son. When he arrived at his father's house,sudden sadness and regret 15 his heart. He began to 16 his father's important papers and saw the still new gift―wrapped Bible,just as he had 17 it years ago. With tears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully 18 a verse (诗) ，Matthew7―11 ，"And if you,being evil,know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven,give to those who ask Him?"

As he read those words,a car key 19 from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name,the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the 20 of his graduation,and the words：PAID IN FULL.

Once a month the nun marched us to the church,where we would stand in line to say our confession (忏'海) .Bless me,Father,for I have sinned (豸巳罪) ，my last confession was a month ago. These are my sins: "I stole a magazine and I called my younger brother a fucking head."

I thought it a great bargain that a few "Hail Marys" forgave me of my sins. Sometimes the kid ahead of me in line stayed a long time inside the confessional,and I wondered what horrible crimes he had committed. Now we can know what sins others commit,there are Web sites suddenly appear all over the Internet that allow penitents (悔罪者) to publicly confess their sins.

A woman kept her secret for nearly two decades. Finally ready to confess,she turned not to a minister,but to her computer： " I am sorry,God,for not keeping that baby”，her confession reads. "I had kept that secret for over 18 years. I feel so ashamed. Please forgive me!"

The confession appears at ivescrewedup. com,a website launched by the Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City. It's one of a growing number of such sites across the country that offer a place to spill out ugly secrets or just make sins public.

Online confessions are a wonderful thing for a poor soul burdened with guilt,it allows him to clear his conscience without the mediation (调停，斡旋) of a priest. When a sinner confesses his evil ways to his favorite god,he doesn't receive an email notifying him that his prayer has reached its destination.

But when you post your sins online,they are visible to the whole world,and at the very least you know that others have read your confession.

If you feel the need to confess your shortcomings online,feel free to visit dailyconfession.com or mysecret.tv.

( ) 8. The writer writes this passage in order to .

A. confess his sins to gods

One of the most expected anticipated revolutions in aviation (航空) is to take off in 2008,as new superfast,relatively cheap airplanes called "very light jets" finally go into service.

Thanks to breakthroughs in the performance of engines for small jets,along with better airplane manufacturing techniques,companies such as Eclipse Aviation,the Albuquerque,N. M.，and Adam Aircraft of Denver are promising a new kind of aircraft for a new category of travel：jetspeed transportation between as many as 5 ,500 US airports,in planes that cost as little as $1. 5 million.

That's a part of the price of today's private jets.

Waiting for final certification by the Federal Aviation Administration,which is now expected in the second quarter of 2008,Eclipse's sixseat E500 could be in the hands of pilots this July.

A private charter service based at Hanscom Field in Lexington,Mass., Linear Air LL C. already has ordered 30 of the Eclipse very light jets and plans to put them in service between August and late 2009. The planes can fly at more than 400 mph,twice the typical speed of private propellerdriven planes.

"This is the absolute future,and everybody in the aviation business knows it," said Arthur Allen,chairman of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission,which oversees 38 smaller airports around the state.

Because VLJs weigh as little as a minivan (微型车) ，they can land on runways as short as 3 ,000 feet―compared with the 4 ,000 or 5,000 feet required by the smallest private jets today. Allen envisions (预测) them opening up new markets for air taxi and charter services.

"It's like an executive car service,with wings," said Bill Herp,Linear Air's chief executive. " VLJs are going to revolutionize the way a large percentage of the traveling public gets around."

Part of Linear's plan with scheduled charter service is to introduce passengers to the private plane experience and turn them to future customers for $1,500 or $3,000 charter flights,either for business or vacation travel for rich consumers.

For Herp,the huge advantage of VLJs is they will cost a third as much to buy and half as much to operate per hour as traditional small jets,vastly broadening the market for air taxi and charter services.

( ) 5. What is the best title of the passage?

A. New Jets May Change Air Travel

B. The Bright Future for New Jets

C. The Advantage of the New Jets

D. Fast and Cheaper Jets

( ) 6. What is NOT the advantage of the new jets,compared with the private jets today?

A. They can cost less both in buying and using.

B. They can carry more people on the board.

C. They can fly faster and can be more convenient.

D. They need shorter runway.

( ) 7. We may learn from the passage that .

A. they are beginning to sell the new jets at lower prices

B. they will let some people experience the travel of the new jets

C. they will make the course and the price of the tickets of the jets

D. they are making contracts with taxi business

( ) 8. What does the underlined phrase "charter services" mean in the passage?

A. To hire the plane for a particular purpose.

B. To make a chart while flying.

C. The first flight.

D. A pleasant flight.

( ) 9. We can infer from the passage that .

A. the jets can be operated by an ordinary car driver in the future

B. the new jets can only be used by the rich as their private planes

C. the new jets will have a promising market

D. all the companies will use them to take the place of the cars

2. Explorers in remote areas,ships at sea,even astronauts circling the earth are able to keep in touch with civilization . (means)
