科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆長春市上學期高二第二次月考英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

An inventor seeks to create a new product that serves a specific need and fulfills a role that other products do not. Sometimes an inventor comes up with a wholly new idea, but more often inventions are simply improvements on an older design. With a little imagination and creativity (創(chuàng)造力), an old idea can suddenly become something new.

    However, creating a new invention means much more than having a brilliant idea. A good designer follows the design process: identifying the challenge, researching and brainstorming ideas(集思廣益), designing a solution, testing and evaluating the ideas, and finally building the product. Designers also use science, math, technology, and engineering to design a tool that satisfies the need they identified.

    Anyone can be an inventor —even kids! For example, Chester Greenwood was just fifteen years old when he invented a product that changed his life. In fact, his idea was so good that his invention supported him for the rest of his life. You may not know his name, but you probably know his invention —earmuffs (保暖耳罩)!

   The inspiration for his earmuff design came to Chester when he was ice-skating. His ears were cold, and he decided to find a way to keep them warm. With the help of his grandmother, he made a new product to protect his ears and at the age of eighteen, Chester patented his earmuff design.

    Many other famous inventors started young as well. Margaret Knight —the inventor of the flat-bottomed brown paper bag —is said to have created a safety device for textile looms(織布機) when she was just twelve years old. Another example is Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history, who applied for his first patent when he was just twenty-one years old. Over the course of his life, Thomas Edison patented a total of 1,093 inventions!

1. In most cases, an invention ________ according to the first paragraph.

A. comes from a complete new idea

B. is usually based on an old product or idea

C. will change its creator’s life completely

D. is created by scientists in different fields

2.The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us _______.

A. the difficulty in making a new invention

B. the common steps of creating new things

C. having a good idea is the key to creation

D. designing a tool is the first step in inventing

3.The example of Chester Greenwood is used to show that ________.

A. children can also invent something

B. it is easy even for children to make inventions

C. kids have more advantages in inventing things

D. to be an inventor is the best way to change one’s life

4.At first Chester designed his earmuffs in order to ________.

A. protect his ears while ice-skating

B. earn money to support his poor family

C. realize his dream of becoming an inventor

D. make himself look fashionable while ice-skating

When he took office, George W. Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quiney Adams followed John Adams in the early 19th century.

    Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush. Although George Herbert Walker Bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally served as a congressman(國會議員), and vice(副) president and president of the United States.

    At the age of two,Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father took up the oil business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family returned to Texas and settled in Midland, where Bush lived from 1950 to 1959.

    In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, aboarding school(寄宿學校) that his father had also attended.

    At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being head cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut.His father and grandfather had also attended Yale. At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.

    Bush graduated from Yale with a bachelor’s degree in history in 1968. Then he joined the Air National Guard and remained in the Guard until 1973. After earning his MBA from Harvard in 1975, Bush returned to Midland. Like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a “l(fā)andsman(新手)”. However, Bush’s oil companies never enjoyed great success. He took more interest in politics. He helped his father to become president and in 1994 he himself was elected governor of Texas.

    In the summer of 1999, Bush began to run for the president of the USA and on January 20, 2001, George W. Bush, hand raised, took the oath(宣誓) of office to become the 43rd president of the US.

1.What does the writer intend to tell us in the first paragraph?

    A. George W. Bush is the first son in American history to follow his father into the White House.

    B. George W. Bush is the first son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

    C. John Quincy Adams and his father were both former American presidents.

C. did everything as his father had done   

D. was a very successful politician like his father

Jamaican sprinter (短跑選手) Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

Bolt, who won gold in the 100m,200m and 4*100m relay in reord times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale (士氣)  of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin.

The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris on Friday.

Despite Bolt’s impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend.

Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can’t break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds.

However he won’t get the chance to take on Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability.

“You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I’m bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday.”

While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships.

“The London Grand Prix will show me where I’m at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships.”

1.According to the passage, Bolt competed and will compete in the following event. Which of them is arranged in time order?

a. Lausanne athletics gold league matches

b. Beijing Olympic Games

c. Paris athletics gold league matches

d. World Athletic championships

e. London grand Prix

A．b-c-a-e-d

B．b-c-a-d-e

C．b-a-c-e-d

D．b-a-c-d-e

2.What does the underlined phase “take on” mean in paragraph 6?

A．employ

B．compete against

C．a(chǎn)ccept

D．develop

3.Which of the following is true?

A．Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt broke the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday.

B．Bolt will not compete in the 200m in London because of Gay’s impressive times.

C．Bolt won 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games at the age of 22.

D．Bolt suffered a car crash in London recently.

4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Bolt is expecting the London Grand Prix.

B．Bolt thinks the world Championships is more important.

C．Bolt made a big difference in the London Grand Prix.

D．Bolt is not confident in his success in the London Grand Prix.
