what about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？shouldnt we know who they are?joan mclean thinks so. in fact, mclean, a professor of physics at mountain university in range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. in addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and ”how” questions. according to mclean,” when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”so, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? well, mary anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to new york city. the day was cold and stormy, but anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device for cleaning the window. still wondering about this when she returned home to birmingham, alabama, anderson started drafting out solutions. one of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations，its hard to imagine driving without garrett a morgans traffic light. its equally impossible to picture a world without katherine j. blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible, can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?( ) 1. by mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are .a. beneficial, because their inventors are famousb. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousc. not useful, because their inventors are less famousd. not useful, though their inventors are famous( ) 2. professor joan mcleans course aims to_.a. add color and variety to students campus lifeb. inform students of the windshield wipers inventionc. carry out the requirements by mountain universityd. prepare students to try their own invention( ) 3. tommy lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _. a. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer b. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper c. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm d. not related to professor joan mcleans lectures( ) 4. which 0f the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

a篇第一篇文章是关于生活中离不开小发明，鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机，推动社会的进步。56.观点态度题，根据第一段but 处：but what about the less famous inventers? what about.windshield wiper? 可以得出结论。这些人的发明不是很有名，确实非常有用的。答案为b。57. 细节题。根据题干可以定位到原文第二段，however处正是考点出题处，引号当中的内容正是证明了mclean的观点：when students learn the answers to these questions,.prepared to recognizeinventing a try.由此可以看出选项d正是原文的同义替换。58.细节题。根据题干中的人物tommy lee可以定位到原文第三段，引号当中正是他的观点：if i had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention.i never would have.，可以判断出答案b正确。59.主旨题。文章一开头就点出文章主旨：shouldnt we know who they are?并且用了疑问句加强语气，可见c选项正确。其他三个选项都相对片面。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。 slow food movementthe international slow food movement was founded in 1986 by leftist journalist carlo petrini in a determined effort to wage intellectual war on the homogenization of food around the world. spurred by the opening of italys first mcdonalds in rome, carlo started the organization determined to save regional foods and small producers from extinction and to revive taste and the senses.the backbone of the non-profit organization are groups of people who meet informally to share and promote local small producers, to learn about culinary traditions and cultures, and to arrange tastings. an important aspect of slow food was introduced to identify and publicize endangered foods such as tuna roe and moselle red peaches, and to encourage people to seek them out, with the theory that if the market demands, supply will increase. another important component of slow food is the commitment to teach children about taste and food and to develop their senses and their appreciation of food and the pleasures of the table.slow food festivals are broad-reaching, not only acknowledging and encouraging individual artisans, but also celebrating the role of food throughout every aspect of culture. workshops where tastes are explored in their cultural context are an important component of the international slow food movement. for instance, the germanys festival had 30 different ones, each about an hour and half long. they sell out quickly too. a speaker at a head table discoursed on the history of dishes people were eating, and the relationship of food, work, and eating to the life and culture of the german province of schleswig holstein.in an attempt to popularize the slow food movement in the united states, carlo petrini made a 10-day trip across the united states, ending up as the honorary guest at the berkeley meeting, slow, 10-course dinner celebrating simply prepared, regional products. guests sampled appetizers of ferns, sipped wines and chatted, before sitting down to salmon with lime oil, followed by white asparagus in herbs. this dish was preceded by a dining-room demonstration of chef jean-pierre moulle showing how to clean the fish without cutting it open, a performance cheered by the group, a collection of over 50 enthusiasts seated at long tables.to defend biodiversity we have to defend small producers. the slow food movement is different from ecological movements and from gastronomy movements. gastronomical movements dont defend the small producers and their products, and ecological movements fight the battles, but cant cook. slow food movement has both at the same time.the slow food movement has been likened to don quixote fighting the windmills, but if the recent enthusiasm for this complex organization with its ecological and gastronomical goals and sense of fun is any indication, the quixotic figure of carlo petrini may be triumphant. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。meet the ten richest people in the world in 2000 (i)10. michael dellage: 34. nationality: american. marital status: married. children: 4. worth: $16.5 billion.just barely squeezing in at number ten is the youngest of all of our billionaires, the young pup who founded dell computers. mike dropped out of university of texas at 19, and started selling pc s by mail order. the day his former classmates were graduating, his sales had already hit $70 million a year. today he sells $2 million a day, and has passed ibm in annual sales. the bastard.9. phillip f. anschutzage: 59. nationality: american. marital status: married. children: 3. worth: $16.5 billion.phil the kind of guy whose father was a rich oil billionaire, but decided he didnt like the family business. phil preferred real estate and railroads. rather than just being born lucky, anschutz is a savvy businessman. he has interests in fiber optics companies, huge cattle ranches, and lots of downtown denver real estate interests. but lets face it: the biggest chunk was inherited.8. amir jaber al-ahamed al-jaber alsabahage: 77. nationality: kuwaiti. worth: $17 billion.the mans money is in oil, investments, property, and the sweat of his people. and this is just whats left over since we kicked saddam hussein out of the neighborhood. imagine t
