24、There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today -the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel a long distance.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect (作用) as the wheel. Then in the early 1800's the word started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore（探索） much anymore. They began to work hard to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric 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 (直升飞机) in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. 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 away 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.

【1】This passage talks mainly about ___________.

A.why cars were very important

B.when light was invented

C.which country made the first step into space

D.how inventions effect people’s life

【2】Nylon came out nearly at the same time as__________.

A.radio   B.camera C.jet plane   D.movies

【3】Which of the statement is not true?

A.For hundreds of years after wheel there were many other inventions having as much effect as the wheel.

B.America, Russia, Japan and China began to explore the stars before 1969.

C.In the early 1800’s people began to work instead of exploring more unknown land to make life better.

D.New invention will change our life greatly in the future.

【4】What does “a desire” mean in the passage?

A.a good way   B.a new invention

C.a strong wish   D.a wonderful idea

【5】Man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot ______________.

A.at the beginning of the 1800’s

B.in the 1960’s

C.since the 1900’s

D.from the 1800’s to the 1960’s

25、One of the most exciting cities in the UK is Bristol, in the southwest of England. And I’m here for the amazing African Caribbean carnival (嘉年华).

The first drums begin and Simone steps forward. Her costume is wonderful. It’s purple and white, rises three meters above her head, and her fantastic skirt is four meters wide. It’s unbelievable that she can move at all inside the costume, too.

The procession (过程) takes about an hour. Men and women excite us in the most amazing, large costumes I’ve ever seen. Groups of dancers move in perfect time with their samba (桑巴), and I even see some old people in full costume. St. Pauls carnival really is for everybody.

26、Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.

A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional (职业的) storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.

I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.

【1】Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.

A. difficult B. colourful C. easy D. rich

【2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables

B. his mother was attracted by the retold story at first

C. his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again

D. little Mo Yan had quite a good memory

【3】Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?

A. Because she thought they never said anything good.

B. Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.

C. Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.

D. Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.

【4】In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.

A. silent    B. modest

C. talkative  D. trouble-making

【5】Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?

A. My Unlucky Childhood

B. A Storyteller’s Childhood

C. My Kind Grandmother

D. More talking leads to success
