A Well-Matched CoupleB People had known about steam power :for hundreds of years. But they did not know how to apply it to machines. About 300 years ago, some engineers discovered that they couldnt use steam power to force water out of deep mines. This helped miners dig deeper than ever. But little more was done with steam power until one man, James Watt, discovered to make steam turn a wheel. When he was a boy, James Watts parents had scolded(责骂 ) him for playing with mechanical things. There were few advanced machines then And almost nobody could make a living by fixing them. So Warts parents thought that playing around with machines was a waste of time. But someone asked Watt to repair a steam coal-mine pump. Watt fixed the pump and he began to build models of other pumps. Once Watt had built his first steam engines, steam power was used to do many things. Machines were built that could weave(编织), grind(磨) flour, drive a boat or a train, and even make other machines. Nearly anything that needed pushing or turning could be powered by steam. Within 50 years of Watts invention, steam engines were producing and transporting things in ways that were impossible by hand, wind, or water power.40. Steam power was not used to turn a wheel until A. three hundred years ago B. it was applied to the mining industry C. James Watt grew into a very clever boyD.

When Walt was young, his parents didnt allow him to play with machines. D. Fixing machines was beyond Watts power.43Since the invention of James Watts steam engines， Awind power has been of no use to man Bwater power has not been used any longer Ceverything has been able to be powered by steam Dsteam power has been widely usedC It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an educationNevertheless(虽然如此)，it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to sch001The difference between schooling and education implied(暗指，含有)by this mark is important Education is nine more open-ended and all-inclusive than schoolingEducation knows no limitsIt can take place anywhere，whether in the shower or on the job，whether in a kitchen or on a tractorIt includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learningThe agent of education can vary from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio from a child to a famous scientistWhereas schooling has a certain predictability(可预料性)，education quite often produces surprisesA chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religionsPeople receive education from infancy(婴幼儿)onEducation， then，is a very broad，inclusive termIt is a lifelong process，a process that starts long before the start of school，and one that should he a necessary part of ones entire life Schooling，on the other hand，is specific，formalized process，whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next3Nroughout a country，children arrive at school at about the single time，take the assigned(指定的)seats，are taught by Ekrt adult，use similar textbooks，do homework，take exits，and so onThe pieces of reality that are to be learned，whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government，have been limited by the subjects being taughtFor example，high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting withThere are clear and undutiful conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling 44The passage is organized by Agiving examples of different schools Btelling a story about excellent teachers C1isting and discussing several educational problems Dtelling the difference between the meanings of two related words 45 Which of the following statements does the passage support?

AAll of life is an education BLearning takes place everywhere CEducation is totally destroyed by schooling DSchooling prevents people from discovering new things 47What is the main idea of this passage? AThe best schools teach a variety of subjects BEducation and schooling are quite different experiences CThe more years students go to school，the better their education is D. Students benefit from schools，which require long hours and homeworkDThe agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things：the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agricultureLabor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce(not widely seen)。“In Europe，”said Thomas Jefferson，“the object(purpose)is to make the most of their land，labor being more than enough”It was in the United StatesThere-fore，that the great adventures in nineteenthcentury agriculture machinery first came. At the opening of the century，with the exception of a crude plow(铸铁犁)，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs；by 1860，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early formThe most important of the easy inventions was the iron DlowAs early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a eastern plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his inventionThe farmers，however，were not interested in it，claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and the weeds grewNevertheless，many people devoted their attention to the plow，until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana，turned out the first chilledsteel plow48. What is the main topic of this passage? Arule need for all agriculture advances to help feed a growing population Brule development of saver machinery demanded by the labor movement CMachinery that contributed to the agriculture revolution DNew Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution49The underlined word “ naturally ”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A. unsurprisingly Bgradually Cquickly Dsafely50Which of the following Call be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said in the first paragraph?

ATheir horses were frightened by it BThey preferred lighter tools CIt was too expensive D. They thought it would destroy the landE Hemophilia(血友病)results when a gene(基因)fails to produce the protein(蛋白质)needed for the blood to clot(凝块)，or change from a liquid to a solid。The faulty gene is passed 0n from parents to children. people with hemophilia suffer uncontrolled bleedingThis c&n result in pain，tissue swelling (肿)and permanent(永久的)damage to joints and muscles One in every ten-thousand males has the most common kind of hemophilia. It is extremely rare for females to have it. Patients can be treated with the missing clotting substance. They generally can lead normal lives. Scientists say gene treatment may be a possible way to cure hemophilia in the future. Researchers consider hemophilia the best disease for gene treatment because it is caused by a single faulty gene. Also, only a small increase in the missing clotting substance could provide good results. They tested gene treat-ment in six patients with severe hemophilia. First, they removed skin cells from the patients arms. The researchers grew the cells in the laboratory. They added copies of the needed gene taken from healthy people. Then they created hundreds of millions of genetically changed cells. They placed these cells into the patients stomachs. After four months, the amount of blood clotting substance in the blood increased in four of the six patients. Some of the patients reported a decrease in bleeding problems. However, ten months later, the clotting substance was no longer in the patients blood. It is not clear if the implanted cells died or the added genes stopped working. The researchers say the study showed that gene treatment is safe for people with the most common kind of hemophilia. But others expressed concern about the treatment because the effects were only temporary.52.Which statement is NOT t
