manufacturing(制造)plant run by her father and uncle.years later,as a post-world war housewife and mother of two in connecticut,donovan would make good use of the inventiveness that she had observed in her youth.frustrated by the repetitive task of changing her younger childs dirty cloth diapers(尿布),bed sheets and clothing,she decided to make a diaper cover to keep her baby and the surrounding areas dry.donovan sat down at her sewing machine with a shower curtain and,after several attempts,she completed a waterproof diaper cover.unlike the rubber baby pants that were already on the market,donovans design did not hurt the childs skin.the soon-to-be famous female inventor perfected her invention later making it safer.donovan named her diaper cover the “boater” and explained that “at the time i thought that it looked like a boat”.when no manufacturers would even consider her invention,donovan started producing the diaper cover on her own,and the “boater” became a great success from the day it was shown for the first time at saks fifth avenue in 1949.donovan received a patent(专利)in 1951 and soon sold the rights to keko corporation.her next project was a fully disposable(一次性的)diaper,for which she had to use a special type of paper that was not only strong and absorbent,but also conveyed water away from the babys skin.donovan took her finished product to every large manufacturer in the country,but once again she found no takers.everyone she talked to told her that the idea was unnecessary and impractical.it was not until nearly a decade later,in 1961,that victor mills created pampers based on donovans idea.this “mother of invention” explored many commercial projects that were completely unrelated to her diaper improvements.she earned a total of 20 patents in her lifetime and also received an architecture degree from yale university in 1958.although donovans extraordinary life may go largely unnoticed by the public,this famous woman inventor deserves the undying gratitude of new parents around the globe.1.donovan decided to make a diaper cover because she wanted to .a.earn some moneyb.become an inventorc.make caring for babies easierd.make her child more comfortable答案:c解析:细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知,由于不堪忍受繁重的清洗尿布、床单和衣服的工作,她决定制作尿布套,故选c项。2.which of the following is one of the features of the “boater”?a.it looked beautiful.b.it did not let water through.c.it was no good for kids health.d.it was cheaper than similar products.答案:b解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“she completed a waterproof diaper cover”可知,这个尿布套是防水的。3.after the “boater” was invented,.a.it became very popular on the marketb.donovan kept the invention to herselfc.donovan applied for a patent for it in 1949d.many manufacturers became interested in it答案:a解析:细节理解题。由第四段中的“the boater became a great success from the day it was shown”可知该产品深受市场欢迎。4.according to the text,the fully disposable diaper created by donovan .a.was not accepted at firstb.was popular among new parentsc.was made with a special type of clothd.was highly thought of by manufacturers答案:a解析:细节理解题。由第五段中的“everyone she talked to told her that the idea was unnecessary and impractical.it was not until nearly a decade later.”可知,一次性尿布起初并未被人们接受。5.which can be the best title for the text?a.the way to be creativeb.the development of diapersc.the importance of inventiond.the disposable diaper inventor答案:d解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一次性尿布的发明者marion donovan。.短文改错many years ago,i step into a bookstore for some books what i wanted.while i was there i saw a young boy of about 12 enter into the
