Unit 3 Inventors and inventions第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A★★☆☆☆For many Koreans, kimchi is a food that they cannot live without! Kimchi is not just tasty food. It’s also a part of Korean h istory. Experts believe that people began making kimchi around the seventh century. The farming communities created kimchi to provide vegetables all year round. At that time, however, kimchi was just a salted vegetable. It was not until five centuries later that people started adding tasty seeds and other plants. And it was not until the eighteenth century that people began adding the hot red pepper. This gave kimchi the red colour that it often has today. The nineteenth century saw the introduction of the Chinese cabbage to Korea. Koreans then started to use this vegetable to make kimchi. And they developed the kimchi that people know and love today.Kimchi is such an important part of Korean culture that there is a yearly kimchi event. It happens every year in October and lasts for several days. People travel from all over South Korea to the event — in the city of Gwangju. At the event, different types of kimchi are made to see which one tastes best, and many food products are on show. Besides, there is beautiful traditional music.If you want to learn more about kimchi’s culture and history, come to visit the Kimchi Field Museum in Seoul. It was started by a large food company in 1986. In the museum, historians have documented almost 200 different kinds of kimchi.In April, 2008, Yi So-Yeon became South Korea’s first person to go into space. The 29-year-old took kimchi with her and spent ten days in space. There, she performed a series of science tests. It was such an unusual trip for all Koreans!21. In the twelfth century, kimchi _____.A. was made of the Chinese cabbageB. tasted much better than beforeC. was only a salted vegetableD. began to appear in Korea22. During the kimchi event, people _____.A. usually get together in SeoulB. can compete in making kimchiC. often come from all over the worldD. can see many foreign food products23. Yi So-Yeon was mentioned to show _____.A. kimchi means a lot to the KoreansB. she is very popular among the KoreansC. women play an important part in modern societyD. the aircraft industry is developing rapidly in KoreaB★★☆☆☆All American dollar bills (纸币) weigh the same, they’re the same size, and they’re made of the same material. “There are no physical marks for those with vision (视力) loss, who need an effective means of knowing how much it is, a $1 or a $100?” explains Vencer Cotton, director of technology and training at the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind in Washington, D.C.Now there is something that comes pretty close. Meet the iBill, a piece of plastic about the size of a large cigarette lighter. Equipped with one AAA battery, a couple of buttons and a speaker, the iBill is designed to be simple. A narrow opening allows for a U.S. bill to be placed inside and upon scanning, it will say the amount the bill is worth. However, even though the iBill can do that job for you, it doesn’t mean it’lltell you if a bill is real or even how much you have.Created by Orbit Research, it will be the first money reader distributed by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). The bureau will soon be shipping iBills,free of charge, across the countr y. “It is my No. 1 choice,” Cotton says of the iBill, especially when it comes to sorting money as fast as possible.There are actually a bunch of apps (应用程序) that can do what the iBill can, made convenient by the iPhone’s voiceover functions. In p articular, EyeNote was also developed by the U.S. BEP to help distinguish bills. Another app, called LookTel, offers recognition for a large number of countries’ bills and VisionHunt distinguishes different kinds of bills and offers many tools to the blind. “But a lot of blind people can’t afford an iPhone,” says Shawn Callaway, president of the National Federation of the Blind of Washington, D.C.24. The iBill was invented to _____.A. pay for things at certain shopsB. help children sort out their moneyC. help the blind recognize their moneyD. tell whether a dollar bill is real or not25. What can we learn about the iBill?A. It is unbreakable.B. It can’t cal culate.C. It can light a cigarette.D. It costs a lot of money.26. Compared with other apps, the iBill _____.A. is much easier for poor people to acceptB. offers more useful functions to the blindC. is the only one developed by the U.S. BEPD. can tell the differences between many foreign bills27. What is the purpose of this text?A. To encourage people to help the blind.B. To talk about American dollar bills.C. To ask people to buy the iBill.D. To introduce a hi-tech tool.C★★★☆☆Customers chat, read the newspaper and order sandwiches and drinks at August First Bakery & Café in Burlington, Vermont, b ut there’s something different here. “I was here working on my laptop when I looked over and saw that there was a sign that said ‘laptop-free,’” says Luna Colt, a student at the University of Vermont. During a recent visit, Colt was shocked that using her computer was against the rules.When owner Jodi Whalen first opened it four years ago, she offered free Wi-Fi to customers. Students like Colt went there in large numbers and started typing away —and staying. All day. “We saw a lot of customers co me in, look for a table, not be able to find one and leave,” Whalen says. “It was money flowing out of the door for us.” That’s why Whalen decided there’d be no more screens. It was a gradual move. She started by shutting down the Wi-Fi two years ago. Then, the café banned screens during lunch. “A lot of people were bummed out,” Whalen says. “But we actually saw our sales increase.”What’s socially acceptable when it comes to using a laptop in public? Luna Colt thinks it’s about how much money you spend. “You should buy something every two hours if you’re going to be here and just work all day,” Colt says. As long as you’re being a good customer, she says, there’s nothing wrong with working on a laptop.Not quite, according to Whalen. “It’s le ss about how much a laptop user buys, and more about table space. Even if they think they’re a good customer because they buy food, they’re still here for long hours,” she says. “To walk into a place and see people looking at their screens with a blank stare, it takes away the community aspect of it —of you being in a place with other people,” Whalen adds.28. Why is August First Bakery & Café different?A. Customers are not allowed to use their laptops.B. Those who visit the café are often very strange.C. It offers unusual sandwiches and drinks.D. It is only open to university students.29. The underlined words “bummed out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “_____”.A. gratefulB. fortunateC. disappointedD. frightened30.

Do you require a grass that will stand up to heavy traffic? Do you need a grass that willsurvive up to one degree below zero? Do you want to reduce the number of times you cut your grass each month? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, and the area to be planted receives at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight a day, Amazoy zoysia is right for you.Zoysia is a particularly tough grass that grows well in a wide variety of conditions. It was brought to the United States by Frank Meyer, a famous plant explorer who discovered zoysia along the Yalu River in 1906. There’s another important man we have to mention here. Herbert Friedberg, founder of Zoysia Farm Nurseries, was the first businessman to recognize zoysia’s potential to improve America’s lawns (草坪). Today, Zoysia Farm Nurseries is the oldest, continuously operating company to sell zoysia grass plugs (草皮) by mail.Zoysia is the perfect choice for hard-to-cover spots and hilly areas. Zoysia lawns only need to be cut once or twice a season. Watering is rarely, if ever, needed — even in summer! Besides, you’ll never have to use poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) and weed killers again! Zoysia lawns are safer for family and pets! When ordinary lawns brown up in summer heat and drought, your zoysia lawn stays green and beautiful. Zoysia grows well in extreme heat (49°C), yet it won’t winter-kill to one degree below zero.The more Amazoy zoysia plugs you order, the more you save! We will replace any plug that fails to grow in 45 days absolutely free!32. Why does the author raise some questions in Paragraph 1?A. To show the importance of sunlight.B.
