The best title of this article is_.A. My First Travel B. The Outside World C. Traveling in Thailand D. A Country on the TrainBThere have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the wheel, which is still very important today. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didnt have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter (直升飛機) was in 1909. Movies with sound were in 1926. The computer was in 1928. And jet planes were in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. By this time most people had a very good life, man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.31. This passage talks mainly about _.A. why cars were very important B. when light was inventedC. which country made the first step into space D. how inventions effect peoples life32.

In the early 1800s people began to work instead of exploring to make life better.D. New inventions will change our life greatly in the future.34. What does “a desire” mean in the sentence “man had a desire to explore more.”?A. a good wayB. a new invention C. a strong wish D. a wonderful idea35. Man didnt have a desire to explore a lot _.A. at the beginning of the 1800sB. in the 1960s C. since the 1900s D. from the 1800s to the 1960sCIt looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond (超出范圍) the city walls, its useless.“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But in fact it is more like one of those cordless phones (無繩電話) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across a whole city.Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. Whats more, unlike mobile phones, theres no fee for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldnt receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly (易操作的). Messaging and Internet access have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has a colour screen.36.

Scientists are trying to make Little Smart smaller.C. Little Smart will be better in the future.D. People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.DParagraph 1Scientists have learned a lot about kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus (柑橘) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal (谷類), rice is also in this kind of food ; (7) butter, or something like butter.Paragraph 2People in different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw (生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day. Paragraph 3There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some way to feed the worlds population so that no one is hungry.

In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.But why their children still cant understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material (物質(zhì)的) things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation (安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.QuestionsAnswersWhat are we always like in our parents eyes?In their eyes, we are always little children and always 62 .What do our parents expect us to do when they give us so much?They only want us to 63 in the examinations.Do children want a true family?_64_.What does _65 _ mean?It means a place w
