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

17、oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didnt become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job for carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be

18、because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces werent 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

19、 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 stro

20、ng, lasting road surface becomes a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel ) came into being, followed by the wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmac roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster. 25. What migh

B. humans carried farming tools just as wellC. animals were a good means tools just as well.D. the existence of transport wheels was not known. 26. What do we know about road design from the

The invention of fast-moving vehicles.CMany parents are beginning to realize that their children may be addicted to computer games-something that they thought was simply harmless fun. The internet-based games are especially habit- forming. You are wise to

24、 be concerned about the potential dangers they face.Players of these games compete against people around the globe. Some of them become crazy about the “virtual”(虚拟的) world. Violent games have been accused of causing more aggressive behaviors among teenage boys. This has been talked about more latel

25、y because been boys involved in school shootings were also game players.If you fear that your son may be seriously addicted to gaming, sit down with him and explain your concerns in simple, straightforward language. Tell him that you love him and want the best for him and that because of this you ar

26、e going to start limiting the amount of time he spends online. Explain the importance of developing interests other than computer games and the internet of getting exercise, spending time outside, socializing with other young people. It s important to make it clear that no play will be allowed until

27、 chores and homework are completed, and that from now on all online activities will be closely monitored(监视). In case of the most disappointing scenario, you may need to get rid of the gaming equipment or block internet access by means of parental controls.After youve laid down the basic rules, its

28、up to you to force them. Stick to your guns in spite of all the murmuring and complaining. If youre persistent, its likely that your child will have developed some healthy new interests within a few short weeks. 28. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the internet-based games are designed to ha

29、rm children. B. computer games used to be regarded as harmless amusement. C. parents have been worries about the influence of games for a long time.

30、B. can help him develop healthy interests.C. must forbid him to play computer games forever.D. can engage him in the heavy housework.30. What does the underline word “scenario” in the third paragraph mean? A. development. B. summary. C. occasion. D. situation31. when faced with your childs resistanc

31、e, you _.A. can knock him down to the ground.B. may use a gun in case of emergency. C. may develop different positive hobbies. D. must always stick to your principles.DIf you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it is still safe to eat? The easiest way is to check

32、the “use-by date” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, youre likely to throw the candy away. But is that really necessary? According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people dont fully understan

33、d what expiration dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean. Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their product

34、s to be tasted in their best conditions. But the truth is that these dates arent related to the risk of food poisoning or food-born illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, fo

35、r example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry-flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch(嘎吱嘎吱的声音), but they are not harmful.“Its a confusing subject, the differen

36、ce between food quality and food safety,” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.” This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We wan

37、t this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the date and contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Ganders, a staff scientist with the NRDC. But this wont be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality

38、levels of different foods change differently some are still safe to eat long after their use-by date while others are not. As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to go bad. 32. The use-by date was first intended

39、 to _.A. tell the freshness of foodB. show the safety of foodC. give a warning of food poisoningD. indicate the relation between food and illness33. The underlined word “misinterpreted” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”. A. made guesses about B. formed a wrong idea about C. made wrong use of D. took

40、 no notice of 34. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.B. “Use-by dates” have existed for more than 50 years. C. Biscuits cant be eaten when not as crunchy as they were bought. D. Even after their use-by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat. 35.

41、 Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates because_. A. use-by dates are not helpful or reliable B. more consumers get worried about food safety C. most consumers often misunderstand use-by dates D. the quality level of different foods changes dif
