根据以下内容,回答下列各题。 Man’s first real invention, and one of the most important inve
ntions in history, was the wheel.All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature-no living thing was ever created with wheels.How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it.However, the logs themselves weighed a lot. It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick.This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle.Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts. The wheel is important because _______.

A.it was man’s first real invention

B.all transportation depends on it

C.every machine depends on it

D.both B and C

根据以下内容回答题:

As late as l800.women’s only place was in the home.The idea of women in the business

world was unthinkable.N0“nice’’woman would dream of entering what was strictly a“man’s wodd”.Even if she could,what would she do?Men were positive that no woman could handle a job outside her home.This was such a widely accepted idea that when the famous Bronte sisters began writing books.in 1 846,they disguised themselves by signing their books with men’s names.

Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after l 800.But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.Oberling College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.

Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous.Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman,as well as a nurse,people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be“ladies”.Miss Night-ingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.

The invention of the typewriter in 1 867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world.Because women had slender,quick fingers,they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well.Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work.

By l 900,thousands of women were working at real,jobs in schools,hospitals,and officesin both England and America.Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers.The idea that“nice”women could work in the business world had been accepted.

native (本国的) language is the most important one, as it is their first language. For many people it is even their only language all their lives. But English is the world's most widely used language.

As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people: in the U. S. , Eng land, Australia and some other countries.

For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education, information and other activities. So English is the second language there.

Scientists discovered that atoms of some substances are radioactive. This means that they
are unstable and can be split. The chain of splitting atoms releases great destructive energy and it was this discovery which led scientists to develop the idea of an atomic bomb. The American government secretly worked to produce such a bomb and the first version was much more powerful than anyone had thought.

By this time, the World War II had ended in Europe. But the Japanese refused to surrender, the Americans decided that by dropping an atomic bomb on Japan, they could end the war quickly and save more of their soldier’s lives.

Soon after midnight on 6 August 1945, a bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, a civilian target. No warning was given and there was total devastation. Almost all the buildings were destroyed and more than 100000 people died or were horribly wounded.

The Japanese military still did not want to surrender so three days later, the Americans dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, killing 45000 people. The Japanese government was discussing ending the war when they heard the news of Nagasaki. Finally, they surrendered and the World War II came to an end.

At first, the scientists who had built the bomb were pleased that it had helped to end the war. However, many would come to realize that they had helped to create the most terrible weapon known to man.

The first atomic bomb ______.

A.was less powerful

B.was dropped in Nagasaki

C.was a failure

D.was tested in desert

Franklin's life is full of charming (有趣的) stories which all young men should know--how

Franklin's life is full of charming (有趣的) stories which all young men should know--how he peddled(叫卖) ballads in Boston, and stood, the guest of kings, in Europe; how he worked his pas sage as a stowaway to Philadelphia, and rode in the queen's own litter in France; how he walked the streets of Philadelphia, homeless and unknown, with three penny rolls for his breakfast, and dined at the tables of princess, and received his friends in a palace; how he raised a kite from a cow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the colleges of the world could give, how he was duped by a false friend as a boy, and became the friend of all humanity as a man; how he was made Major Gen eral Franklin, only to resign because; as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.

This poor Boston boy, with scarcely a day's schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped studying; this neglected apprentice tamed the lightening, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas from colleges in both hemispheres, and became forever remembered as "Doctor Franklin" ,philosopher ,patriot ,scientist ,philanthropist(慈善家) and statesman.

Self-made, self-taught, self-reared ,the candle maker's son gave light to all the world; the street ballad seller set all men singing of liberty; the runaway apprentice became the most sought-after man of two continents, and brought his native land to praise and honour him.

He built America--for what our Republic today is largely due to the prudence, the forethought, the statesmanship, the enterprise, the wisdom, and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. He belongs to the world, but especially does he belong to America. As the nations honoured him while living, so the Re public glorifies him when dead, and has enshrined him in the choicest of its niches--the one he regarded as the loftiest--the hearts of the common people, from whom he had sprung and in their hearts Franklin will live forever.

Which of the following is not mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.Franklin lived a poor life in Boston when he was young.

B.When Franklin first got to philadelphia, he was homeless and unknown, and he had to buy cheap bread for breakfast.

C.Franklin was cheated by a false friend as a boy.

D.Franklin was a candle maker's son and mastered six languages.

In 1917, Russia was in chaos. The economy was collapsing, there were food shortages and th
e country was suffering heavy losses in the World War I. Inevitably, people began to lose faith in their ruler, Tsar Nicholas II. On 15 March 1917, after much political unrest, the Tsar decided to abdicate. He was replaced by a new government led by Alexander Kerensky.

To begin with a rival political group, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lennin and Leon Trotsky, supported the new government, but their relationship soon collapsed. The Bolsheviks wanted even more change—their aim was to replace the existing political structure with groups representing each sector of society and they urged every worker to join a revolution in order to bring this about. In July 1917, the Bolsheviks tried to overthrow the government but failed. They tried again on 24 October and this time they were successful. The provisional government was arrested in St Petersburg, and Lenin took over as Head of State. Support for the Bolsheviks soon spread across Russia, and world's first “workers’ revolutionary State” became reality.

From the passage we may know that the situation in Russia in 1917 was______.

A.favorable

B.in disorder

C.inspiring

D.encouraging

What is the 'biggest city in the world? That is, (21) city has the largest population? Thi

What is the 'biggest city in the world? That is, (21) city has the largest population? This seems like (22) question to answer, but actually it isn't.

It's actually rather difficult to say which cities (23) the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries, that is, where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all cities have a large (24) area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.

The second reason that it is difficult to 25 the population of different cities is this: it is almost impossible to get (26) about the population of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an (27) of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we real ly can't compare the numbers because the information is for (28) different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia, may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly.

So we can say that these are our two (29) for comparing the populations of cities: one, it's difficult to determine the (30) of a city, and two, it is difficult to get accurate information.

21. A. what

B. which

C. where

D. how
