9、seful things in our daily life. Fifty years ago, men rode on a heavy and dangerous kind of bicycle with a rather larger wheel in the front and a smaller one at the back. The front wheel was as high as six feet and the one at the back was only a few inches in diameter(直径) . When the present bicycle w

10、ith two wheels of the same size was invented, it was called“safety” （安全）because people were so much safer sitting on a seat four feet from the ground than on one six or seven feet above the road. Even then riding on a bicycle was not so comfortable as the tyres (轮胎) were made of solid rubber(橡胶). La

11、ter, someone found the use of air-filled tyres and this helped to make the bicycle what it is today. Also, bicycles were made in various sizes to fit men, women and children. In many hot countries, people choose to use bicycles only for short journeys as they can travel cheaply and comfortably by bu

12、s in longer trips. But some people go on long travelling lasting for weeks using their bicycles as their means of transport(运输 ) . Some people even choose bicycles for their round-the-world trip.31. The reason why people riding on their bicycles fifty years ago were not safe is that _ .Athe two whee

13、ls of their bicycles were not well designedBtheir bicycles tyres were made of solid rubberCthe back wheels of their bicycles were too large Dtheir feet were not long enough32.

17、Most Useful Tool - BicyclesCHow to Make a Bicycle DThe Use of BicycleBSwimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best a

18、ge to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. Its wise to be afraid, to recognize（认出） true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these

19、four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:1. Never swim alone! N

20、o matter how good you are in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.2. Dont go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach, Showing off by doing da

21、ngerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.3. Dont smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.4.

23、rfly B. breaststroke C. backstroke D. crawl40. According to the passage, you should not swim alone because_A. the water is too cold B. your parents would not be happyC. something in the water might attack D. you might drownC Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests

24、 attending the park. Other sources include parking fees, food and drink sales and souvenirs. Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles: Pay-as-you-go. In this form, a guest enters the park at little or no charge. The guest must then buy rides one by one, either at

25、 the attractions entrance or by buying ride tickets. The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (复杂性) or popularity. The park may allow guests to buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park. A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission. Disneylan

26、d opened in 1955 using the pay-as-you-go form. Initially, guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions. Soon, the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that, while now out of use, is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary. In this new form, g

27、uests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets, with “A,” “B” and “C.” Rides and attractions using an “A-ticket” were generally simple, with “B-tickets” and “C-tickets” used for the larger, more popular rides. Later, the “D-ticket” was added, then finally the now-famous “E-ticket,” whi

28、ch was used for the biggest rides, like Space Mountain. Smaller tickets could be traded up（买更高价的东西）for use on larger rides. Disneyland, as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, gave up this practice in 1982. The advantages include: guests pay for only what they choose to experience attract

29、ion costs can be changed easily The disadvantages include: guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs 41What is the passage mainly about? _ A.

The little Fiat turned four or five complete flips (翻转) before it was stopped by a big tree. Luckily, George did not die in the accident, but his recovery was slow and he needed

35、 months of physical treatment. He would never be able to race cars now. The accident really changed Georges life.

36、t in reading and writing. He got on quite well in his studies. He didnt quite forget about racing cars. At that time instead of driving race cars, he began filming them. You may have seen one or all of George Lucass most famous films from the Star Wars series or the Indiana Jones trilogy (三部曲). Not

37、only has George produced movies, but also he has helped invent and develop new technologies to modernize the movie industry.
