9、once said that the perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpet.You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”.Then he paused:“But youll always be limited by the size of the wheels.And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”It was a rareindeed uniqueoccasion when I was able

10、 to put Ritchie right.A 19th-century inventor,William Henry James Grout,did in fact design a folding wheel.His bike,predictably named the Grout Portable,had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces.All the bits fitted into Grouts Wonderful Bag,a leather

11、 case.Grouts aim:to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train.Now doesnt that sound familiar?Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel:his bike was a huge beast.And importantly,the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage:in Grouts day,tyres were solid,

12、which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple.You couldnt do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated(充气的) tyre.So,in a 21st-century context,is the idea of the folding wheel dead?It is not.A British design engineer,Duncan Fitzsimons,has develop

13、ed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse(椭圆).Throughout,the tyre remains inflated.Will the young Fitzsimonss folding wheel make it into production?I havent the foggiest idea.But his inventiveness shows two things.First,people have been saying for more than a century that

14、 bike design has reached its limit,except for gradual advances.Its as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago:theres plenty still to go for.Second,it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions.You can buy a folding bike for less than 1,000 that can be kno

15、cked down so small that it can be carried on a planeminus wheels,of courseas hand baggage.Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible.Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchies imagination?No.But its progress.1We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .A.was p

16、ortableB.had a folding wheelC.could be put in a pocketD.looked like a magic carpet答案:A解析:推理判断题。由第一段可知安德鲁里奇是Brompton folding bike的发明者,而从他之后说的话“like.a folding wheel”可推知B、C、D三项都是那时未能实现的,故排除这三项,A项正确。2.We can learn from the passage that the wheels of the Grout Portable .A.were difficult to separateB.coul

17、d be split into 6 piecesC.were fitted with solid tyresD.were hard to carry on a train答案:C解析:推理判断题。由文章的第三段中“in Grouts day,tyres were solid,.”和最后一句可知C项正确。3.We can learn from the passage that Fitzsimonss invention .A.kept the tyre as a whole pieceB.was made into production soonC.left little room for im

18、provementD.changed our views on bag design答案:A解析:推理判断题。文章倒数第三段最后一句提到“Throughout,the tyre remains inflated”,结合其前一段的最后一句,可知这个时期菲茨西蒙斯发明的便携自行车的轮胎是“一条完整的充气轮胎”。4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Three folding bike inventorsB.The making of a folding bikeC.Progress in folding bike designD.Ways of separating a bike wheel答案:C解析:主旨大意题。从19世纪格鲁特发明的便携自行车,21世纪菲茨西蒙斯发明的便携自行车,到布罗普顿发明的便携自行车,每个时期便携自行车都较前有很大提高,这表明本篇文章一直在讲述便携自行车的发展历程。
