Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.1. The word those in the first sentence refers to2.Why do big monopolies buy inventions?3.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephensons experiment?4. The word dream in the first paragraph refers to _5. What is the main idea of this paragraph?第 1 空选项A. inventors B. inventionsC. interests D. monopolies第 2 空选项A.

While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the strangers figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lads father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were natures gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.1.The story took place in _.2. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because_.3. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _.4. From the way he looked, it was evident that Robin was _.5.How did Robin appear as he walked into the town?第 1 空选项A. spring B. summerC. fall D. winter第 2 空选项A. he wanted to make extra money.B. he saw that Robin was young and rich.C. he was going to row across the river anyway.D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor.第 3 空选项A. worn-out B. very expensiveC. handmade D. much too big第 4 空选项A. a wealthy merchants sonB. a country boyC. a soldierD. a foreigner第 5 空选项A. He was cheerful and excited.B. He was tired.C. He seemed very sad.D. He seemed frightened by the strange surroundings.第1空答案 D. winter第2空答案 A. he wanted to make extra money.第3空答案 C. handmade第4空答案 B. a country boy第5空答案 A. He was cheerful and excited.40、 Television ,the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound,1. And the word television means seeing far.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast live from all over the world. People in San Francisc
