Unit 1 单元测试一、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AFrom early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort（堡垒）. In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat（护城河）to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During the time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became the King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.1. Most of works of art in the Louvre have been collected probably by ________.A. the French peopleB. Francis IC. Leonardo da VinciD. people of the world2. Why is it good for the works of art to be kept in public museums?A. The works of art will not be stolen.B. The works of art will not be damaged.C. Artists can study the works of art.D. Everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Louvre is always a museum since it was built.B. All the art treasures in the Louvre have been destroyed in the war.C. The Louvre was once the king’s castle in history.D. There is still a fort near the Louvre now.BWhat killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’smost famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found adifferent answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say thatKing Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications （并发症）from a broken leg.Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler ofEgypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy（木乃伊）. Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system（免疫系统）.Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture （骨折）to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone —not a jealous adviser —are likely the real, causes of King Tut’s death.4. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world historyB. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of EgyptC. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisersD. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants.5. With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.A. died directly of a disease called malariaB. died of complications from a broken legC. died of a simple cut in the broken legD. was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes6. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ________.A. testing the King’s immune systemB. studying the walking sticks found in the tombC. performing experiments on mosquitoesD. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology7. The passage mainly tells us about ________.A. a different answer to King Tut’s deathB. a famous boy king in ancient EgyptC. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in EgyptD. a team of researchers studying ancient tombsCIn the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature —that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres —was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across —much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.8. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.10. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Bird’s view.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHobby is also a way of making friends.Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But the most exciting thing is that the new term is a chance to take up new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Promising to start something new is a common New Year resolution.Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. There are some classes you have to pay and others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class my school offered. But when I learnt how to play the drum my parent had to pay for the lessons.The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hobbies would leave school with many extra skills.I haven't continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.21．For UK kids, the new term is a chance to ________.A. make a New Year resolutionB. take up new hobbiesC. relax and have funD. enjoy their Christmas holidays22．What are the most popular hobby classes in the author's school?A.

I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, yet I didn’t do quite well in it.While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of h is injury, he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD—“I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life.How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually won the gold medal in my age group.7.Why did the author take part in the race by herself?A. She would like to win the race.B. She had a good talent for running.C. Her son got injured in a car accident.D. Her son was unwilling to run with her.8.How did the author get the motivation for training?A. By recalling some inspiring stories.B. By listening to the CD while running.C. By getting timely help from his friend.D. By forcing herself into keeping running.9.What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fearing.B. Improving.C. Preferring.D. Taking.10.What message does the author intend to deliver to us?A. It’s important to avoid injury while running.B. The motivating words make a difference to us.C. Parents should get along well with children.D. We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.DLocal officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage, in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palace. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, which cover 62 square kilometers, some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture."On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holiday. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics," said Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng, head of the Xicheng district government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built asfar back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271—1368). The district of Xicheng has 1.28 million residents in its 57 square kilometers of land. "The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage," Wang said."Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any action that will damage the heritage will be punished," Wang said.No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.11.How many hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?A.Less than 1,000.B.About 2,000.C.More than 3,000.D.Over 4,000.12.According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics?A.Visitors' activities.B.Residents'attitude.munities' behaviour.D.The government's policy.13.Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs?A.To attract more visitors.B.To punish anyone damaging them.C.To increase the local population.D.To forbid everyone getting close to them.14.What will happen to hutongs in the near future?A.Only time will tell.B.No one will remember them.C.The number will be growing.D.Hutongs will disappear completely.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair onthe floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said. “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it wil l be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, sud denly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.36. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer .A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair37. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeperA. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer38. How much did the writer pay?A. ￡5.B. ￡7.C. ￡20.D. ￡27.39. From the text, we can learn that the writer was .A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnBHave you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit or being picked for a team? Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated (激励) again. Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight, and then gain it back again!Check in with your goal.It helps if you write down your small goals in the same way you wrote down your big goal. That way you can follow what youneed to do, check off tasks as you finish them, and enjoy knowing that you’re moving toward your big goal. If you’re feeling weak on willpower, you can look at your list to help you change!Go on with your goal if you slip up (出差错).If you slip up, don’t give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on road. Pat yourself on the back for everything you didright. Don’t beat yourself up, no matter how far off track you get. Most people slip up when trying to make a change —it’s a natural part of the process.Share with a friend.Another way is having supportive people around you. Having a goal partner can make all the difference in times when you d on’t feel motivated. If you’re not getting support from someone when you really need it, you may need to take a break from that friendship and make friends with people who want to help you succeed.Don’t give up!Ending an unhealthy behavior or creating a new, exciting one is all about taking responsibility (责任) for our lives. Finding the motivation to do it isn’t easy, but it is always possible. Y ou can stay motivated by writing down your goals, sticking to your plan, and reminding yourself of what led you to set your goal in the first place. Change is exciting —we’d all be very bored without it.Good luck in reaching your goals!40. The underlined word “drive” in the first paragraph refers to ______.A. the wish to achieve a goalB. the need to have great energyC. the pressure to drive fastD. the strong energy to drive41.

To share a goal with your friend.C. To divide your goal into small ones.D. To make a plan for changing your goal.43. The passage is mainly about how to ______.A. help your friend succeed at lastB. set a big goal and reach itC. deal with a friend who offers no supportD. keep motivated to achieve your goalCFew buildings on earth can compete with the legendary beauty of the Taj Mahal. Towering over the ancient Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the grandest monument (纪念碑) to love ever created.The lovers in this story are the 17th century Indian emperor Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She took a leading role in advising him, which is something unusual for a woman to do for a husband who’s an emperor. Over the course of their nineteen-year marriage she gave birth to 14 children. But in 1631 while trying to deliver their fifteenth — she tragically died. He was heartbroken when she died. Andafter her death, he decided to build the world’s greatestmonument ever built, for love.He ordered the royal architects to design the most beautiful building the world had known and decided to name it after his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. He called on twenty thousand workers and sent many more people to all corners of his country in search of valuable metals and jewels. And after seventeen years of hard work, Shah Jeha n’s monument was completed and his beloved empress was moved to her final resting place.Everything had gone according to plan, but Shah Jehan’s luck was about to change ... In 1658, just four years after the completion of the Taj Mahal, he was thrown out of power. Unfortunately, his son, Aran Azibe imprisoned him, his own father. And he spent the last seven years of his life in prison. And he was allowed to look at the Taj Mahal through a window. His life was in ruins, but when he died his last wish was promised.

It was built around the year 1450, but abandoned (遗弃) a hundred years later, at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Forgotten for centuries, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. It was announced a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a Ger-man businessman, Augusto Berns.7,000 feet above sea level and located on a small hilltop betweenthe Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city rises above the Urabamba Valley below. Separated into three areas —farming, urban, and religious (宗教的) —the structures are arranged so that the function (功能) of the buildings matches the form of their surroundings. The agri-cultural terracing and ditches (梯田和沟渠) take advantage of the natural slopes (斜坡); the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located atthe crest of the hill, over-looking the fresh green Urabamba Valley thousands of feet below.Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical and say the area creates a wonderful green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.48. Augusto Berns was said to ______.A. report his find to the government at the first timeB. be the first one who discovered the ruins of Machu PicchuC. help make Machu Picchu a UNESCO World Heritage SiteD. work together with Bingham on research about Machu Picchu49.

AFrom early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort（堡垒）. In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat（护城河）to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During the time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became the King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.1. Most of works of art in the Louvre have been collected probably by ________.A. the French peopleB. Francis IC. Leonardo da VinciD. people of the world2. Why is it good for the works of art to be kept in public museums?A. The works of art will not be stolen.B. The works of art will not be damaged.C. Artists can study the works of art.D. Everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Louvre is always a museum since it was built.B. All the art treasures in the Louvre have been destroyed in the war.C. The Louvre was once the king’s castle in histor y.D. There is still a fort near the Louvre now.BWhat killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’smost famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have founda different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now saythat King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications （并发症）from a broken leg.Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler ofEgypt in 1333 BC. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy（木乃伊）. Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young king’s death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system（免疫系统）.Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture （骨折）to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone —not a jealous adviser —are likely the real, causes of King Tut’s death.4. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that ________.A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world historyB. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of EgyptC. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisersD. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants.5. With the help of modern technology, the new study discovered that the king ________.A. died directly of a disease called malariaB. died of complications from a broken legC. died of a simple cut in the broken legD. was bitten to death by deadly mosquitoes6. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by ________.A. testing the King’s immune systemB. studying the walking sticks found in the tombC. performing experiments on mosquitoesD. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology7. The passage mainly tells us about ________.A. a different answer to King Tut’s deathB. a famous boy king in ancient EgyptC. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in EgyptD. a team of researchers studying ancient tombsCIn the 1960s, while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldn’t find the park’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature —that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however, a se cond less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen co uldn’t find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park —2.2 million acres —was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across —much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.8. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.10. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Bird’s view.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

总分120分。

考试时间100分钟。

第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers，he used two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flower beds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes：before it reached the flower beds，much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，“See how capable I am！How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day！I don't know why he still bothers you.What a waste of space you are！”And all that the old bucket could say was，“I know I'm not very useful，but I can only do my best.I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least.”One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual，he said，“You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so.All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.1．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A．Dirty. B．Dark. C．Worn out. D．Plain-looking.2．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．laugh at the old oneB．take pity on the old oneC．show off its beautiful looksD．praise the gardener's kindness3．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it was taken as a treasure.D．Because it had its own function.BAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5，500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5，100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. It was probably due to that animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could be also due to a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer(层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of the wheel)came into being, followed by the wheels that were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油碎石路面). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.4．What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.B．Humans carried farming tools just as well.C．Animals were a good means of transport.D．The existence of transport wheels was not known.5．What do we know about road design from the passage?A．It was easier than wheel design.B．It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C．It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D．It provided conditions for wheel design to develop.6．What is the passage mainly about?A．The beginning of road design.B．The development of transport wheels.C．The history of public transport.D．The invention of fast-moving vehicles.CTravelling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You don't understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please？” To this question you won't get an answer, because most probably they don't know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.” People there believe that “I don't”is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world.
