No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隊道) into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度) of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.

Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.

Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890sLawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局) used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

【题目】 A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine(联合) the two to do something for your local environment? It may be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone, you will be able to bury() it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.

A biodegradable(生物可降解的) mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage people to recycle. Scientists have thought of a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but overtime it can break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals(有毒的化学物质). British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover with a sunflower seed(种子). When this cover changes into waste, it forms nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We have only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we're trying to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.

As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are always throwing their mobile phones away. This means producers are under pressure(压力) to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal(金属) and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can reduce the harm to nature, according to the scientists. “The seed is released(释放) and the flower grows in the pot, so you don't have to worry about the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan, the leader of the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.

1Scientists did this type of research about biodegradable mobile phones in order to ________.

A.make the mobile phones more beautifulB.encourage people to recycle

C.find a new way to grow flowersD.produce more mobile phones

2Millions of mobile phones have been sold this year and people will ______ within two years.

A.bury most of them in the gardenB.put sunflower seeds into most of them

C.take out their coverD.throw most of them away

3What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean?

A.change into chemicalsB.not workC.be dividedD.break out

4We can infer(推断) from the passage that _________.

A.the new type of mobile phones is already on the market

B.some 650 million mobile phones have been sold within two years

C.British scientists are doing the research

D.roses perform best in this type of mobile phones

5What’s the best title of the passage?

A.the Harm to NatureB.the Developing Phone Technology

C.Phones and FlowersD.Mobile Phones and Environment

【题目】阅读判断题,正确的填A,错误的填B

On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native(当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages(笼子).

We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.

The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.

There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different kinds they had. I

saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.

I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.

1The writer traveled to the Wildlife Park with his parents.

2The kangaroos are kept in cages in the Wildlife Park.

3The writer touched and fed koalas in the Wildlife Park.

4The writer liked the photo with koalas very much.

5The writer watched a bird show in the Wildlife Park.
