9、most creative German inventors of the 19th century. His inventions include the earliest typewriter, the meat grinder(碾肉机), a device to record piano music on paper, and two four-wheeled human-powered vehicles. But it was the running machine, the modern ancestor of the bicycle, that made him famous. T
10、he running machine, also called the hobby horse, was in effect a very primitive bicycle: it had no chains and was moved by riders pushing off the ground with their feet. Though not a bike in the modern sense of the word, this invention marked the big bang for the bicycles development. It was the fir
11、st vehicle with two wheels placed in line. Drais intended to find a muscle-powered replacement for the horses, which were expensive and consumed lots of food even when not in use. The machine, he believed, would allow large numbers of people to move faster than walking or riding in a coach. Drais un
12、dertook his first documented ride on June 12, 1817, covering a distance of 13 kilometers in one hour. A few months later, he created a huge sensation(轰动) when he rode 60 kilometers in four hours. These were later followed by a marketing trip to Paris, where the hobby horse quickly caught on. The cra
13、ze also quickly spread to Britain. The success of the hobby horse was short-lived, though. They were heavy and difficult to ride. Safety was an issue, too: They lacked a brake, as well as - 4 -cranks(曲柄) and pedals. Accidents happened quite often, and after a few years Drais invention was banned in
14、many European and American cities. Drais ideas, however, did not disappear entirely. Decades later, the machine was equipped by two Frenchmen with pedals to become the modern bicycle.24. Why did Drais invent the running machine? A. To prove his creativity as an inventor. B. To protect the horses fro
15、m being overused. C. To provide a new transportation for the royal class. D. To give the general public a better means of transportation. 25. What does “the big bang” mean in the second paragraph?

16、e. 26. Which of the following shows the order of the spread of the hobby horse? A. GermanyBritainFrance B. GermanyFranceBritain C. BritainGermanyFrance D. FranceBritainGermany27. Why did the hobby horse fail to become a common vehicle in the 19th century? A. It did not go as fast as people had expec
17、ted. B. It was expensive and could not be used long.C. It was hard to control and dangerous to ride on the road. D. It did not receive enough public attention in European cities. CShantou has access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water can be in short supply in many ar
18、id regions of the world such as Saudi Arabia, where there are limited water resources. As the world population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often and the need for additional water supplies will become critical. Some may ask, “Since the ocean covers more than 70 percent
19、 of the Earth, why not just get drinking water from the ocean?”To turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, - 5 -that is, to desalinate seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves(溶解) very easily in water, forming str
20、ong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination factories, killing small
21、 ocean creatures like baby fish, upsetting the food chain. Also, there is the problem of what to do with the separated salt. Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local sea life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.Despite the economic and environmental
22、 problems, desalination is becoming increasingly attractive as human beings are using up fresh water from other sources. At present, desalinating seawater is the only possible way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, the race is on to
23、 find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported.28. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “arid” in the first paragraph?A. Rich. B. Poor. C. Dry. D. Remote.29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The m
24、ajor chemicals in seawater.B. The high cost of desalinating seawater.C. The need to turn seawater into fresh water.D. The amount of energy produced by seawater.30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Mixing salt with water is not as easy as removing salt from seawa
25、ter.B. Desalinating seawater may kill some sea creatures and disturb the food chain.C. Covering 70% of the Earth, the ocean has always satisfied human needs for water.- 6 -D. The increasing population in Saudi Arabia has resulted in shortages of fresh water.31.Which of the following best describes t
26、he authors attitude toward the future of desalination?A. Surprised. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Hopeful.D A lullaby is a song or a piece of music sung or played for babies at their bedtime as a sleep aid for them. Four thousand years ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first l
27、ullaby. It is a rather frightening lullaby, in which the baby is scolded for disturbing the house god with its crying and warned of terrifying consequences. It may have got the baby to sleep, but its message is far from comforting: If he/she does not stop crying, the demon(恶魔) will eat him/her. This
28、 lullaby may sound more scary than sleep-encouraging, yet it is true that many lullabiesincluding those sung todayhave dark messages. Studies conducted by Dr. Jeffery Perlman, chief of newborn medicine at Komansky Center for Childrens Health in New York find that gentle music not only slows down the
29、 heart rate of premature(早产的) babies but also helps them feed and sleep better. This helps them gain weight and speeds their recovery. Lullabies, when used correctly, can comfort and possibly even help to heal a baby; but it is the caretakers voice and the rhythm and melody of the music that babies
30、respond to, not the content of the song. Then, what is the function of the content? According to studies, some lullabies provide advice, like the Babylonian lullaby, and quite a few others offer the space to sing the unsung, say the unsayable. Content of those lullabies can indeed be seen as a refle
31、ction of the caregivers feelings.Researchers believe that a large part of the function of lullabies is to help a mother express her worries and concerns. The mothers fear of loss especially makes sense since the baby years of life are fragile ones. Since - 7 -there is a special physical bond between
32、 mother and child during this period, mothers feel they can sing to their child about their own fears and anxieties. Lullabies, therefore, serve as a mental health treatment for the mother. In addition, the songs are seemingly trying to work some magicas if, by singing, the mother is saying, “Sadnes
33、s has already touched this house; no need to come by again.”32. What do we know about the first lullaby?A. It was a scary warning. B. It was sung in ancient Egypt.C. It brought comfort to new-born babies. D. It might bring demons to the house.33. What does the author use to support the idea that lul
34、labies can have a good effect on premature babies?A. Medical researches. B. Examples found in history.C. Stories of caretakers. D. The authors personal experiences.34. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Scary lullabies better help babies fall asleep.B. Mothers pr
35、efer to sing lullabies with a joyful tune.C. Lullabies comfort not only the baby but also the mother.D. Babies react to both the music and the content of lullabies.35. Which of the following titles best describes the main idea of this passage?A. The Origin of Lullabies B. The Functions of LullabiesC
