Remains of an early form of man discovered in China, known as Peking Man, indicate that Stone Age men lived in the area as long as 500,000
9、 years ago. During the centuries that followed, their descendants laid the foundations of civilization in China.Throughout its history, China has been a rich source of inventions. Silk, the compass, tea and porcelain originated there. In addition, they are responsible for the invention of paper and
10、printing. The Chinese had used ink as early as 1 200 B. C. , an excellent type which they made from lampblack and which is known in English as India ink or China ink. By the end of the first century A. D. , the Chinese had invented paper.The Chinese also invented printing. Early Chinese printing is
11、called block printing. The printer carved raised characters on a block of wood, wet the surface of the characters with ink, and pressed sheets of paper against them. Printers in the 11th century went on to invent movable type of baked clay. The characters of the movable type could be rearranged to f
12、orm different words and thus be used over and over again. The Chinese alphabet has about 40 thousand characters. Because of the difficulty of producing so many pieces of type, most Chinese printers continued to use block printing.16 A good synonym for underlined word “descendants“ in paragraph 1 is

Following World War , the steady movement toward first-class citizenship fo
15、r Black people quickened, with significant actions taking place in courts of law, in voting booths, in restaurants and in the streets of the nation.A decade of intense civil rights activity was launched in 1954 when the United States Supreme Court declared segregated schools to be unconstitutional.
16、In 1955, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , effectively organized the Blacks of Atlanta, Georgia, in a bus boycott. The boycott lasted two years, and when it was over, Blacks no longer were degraded by being forced to sit or stand in the rear of buses.In 1960, a group of Black college students decided th
17、at they, sis well as white persons, had the right to eat at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. This sit-in sparked an aggressive national movement and, in the next few years, thousands of young men and women - Black and white, North and South - overturned local laws and customs that had
18、maintained segregation.

And when a f
21、orest fire rages out of control, threatening human lives and homes, it must be fought like a “wild animal.“ The fight is often desperate, since firefighters best efforts may be dwarfed by the fury of a large fire. But the fires own traits can be used against it.The heated air above a fire rises in a
22、 pillar of smoke and burnt gases, pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact when they “fight fire with fire.“ They start a fire well in front of the one which they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the smaller fire is pulled back tow
23、ard it by the updrafts of the larger blaze. As it travels back to meet the large fire, the smaller backfire burns away the fuel that the forest fire needs to survive.Even when a backfire has been well set, however, the fire may still win the struggle. The wind which the firefighters used to help the
24、m may now become their enemy. When the backfire meets the main fire, before both die for lack of fuel, there is tremendous flame, great heat and wild winds. A strong gust may blow the fire into the treetops beyond the area, giving the fire new fuel and a new life.24 This passage focuses on _.（A）how

27、s the air above it（D）may still win the struggle 27 When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in rural Illinois, he and a certain judge in town once got to bantering with one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they agreed that the next morning, at nine oclock, they would meet
28、in front of the general store and make a trade. Each would bring a horse, unseen by anyone up to that hour. If either backed out of the deal, he would forfeit $ 25. The money from each man was held by the local banker.The next morning, at the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading
29、 the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois. The large crowd viewing the spectacle burst out laughing, already knowing that Abe Lincoln was bound to get the worst of the deal. A poorer horse just couldnt exist anywhere and still be walking.In a few minutes, however
30、, Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching the general store carrying something quite large and bulky on his shoulders. As he drew nearer, the crowd saw what it was, and great shouts and laughter broke out. The shouts and laughter soon broke into a thunderous roar when Mr. Lincoln, looking carefully and ser

34、ncomfortable surfaces. Shoes are also an important part of peoples clothing. As a result, fashion often determines the style of shoes that individuals wear.

35、remely long toe. From the 1300s to the 1700s, some European women wore shoes with really thick soles causing walking to be virtually impossible without support.

36、ther materials are now used. Including canvas, velvet, and synthetic substances such as plastics. Footwear materials and style vary somewhat, depending on climate, custom, or other differences.
