Sand was used to loosen the dirt. Soap was invented at Romes Sapo Hill, where ash was discovered containing something found to have cleaning powers. The earliest washing “machine”- the scrub board (洗衣板) was invented in 1797.In 1874 William Blackstone, a Bluffton, Indiana, producer of corn planters (花盆)，made a birthday present for his wife. It was machine which removed and washed away dirt from clothes. It consisted of a wooden tub in which there was a flat piece of wood containing six small wooden sticks(条状物).In the same year, Mr. Blackstone set up a company to sell his washers for $ 2.50 each. Five years later he moved his company to Jamestown, New York, where it is located today, and where it still produces washing machines. However, competitors(竞争者) moved in quickly - there have been more than 200 washing-machine companies in the US in the past century. Competition has kept prices down. Many early washing machine cost less than $10.Around 1900, metal tubs replaced the wooden ones. Drive belts made it possible to use steam or gasoline engines in washing machines in the early 1900s, and electric motors for the first time in 1906. In 1922 a company introduced a system of forcing water through the clothes rather than dragging(拽) the clothes through the water. This system is the one most commonly used now.24.

How long will Mr. Blackstones company in Jamestown have existed in 2020?A.132 years.B. 137 years.C. 89 years. D. 105 years.CAre you carrying too much on your back at school? Im sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only do the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“Its hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because its so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children dont stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!28. From the passage we can know that .A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bagsC. children in other countries dont carry too heavy bagsD. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags29. If a child carries a heavy school bag, .A. his back or neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurtC. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt30.

Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .A. they should have a little homework to do after they get homeB. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homeworkC. they should only take home library books they will read that nightD. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick onesBOver three million people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels. Most live in Africa, India and China. They use fuels like wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. These fuels may be the least costly fuels. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.For more than thirty years, the Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cleaner, low-cost cooking stoves. Dean Still is the director of the group and he points out that every year more than one million and five hundred thousand people die from breathing smoke from solid fuels. “And half of the people use wood for cooking. These are the poorer people, and the richer people use oil and gas. Its estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas. And so its very important for the poorer people to have very efficient stoves that protect their forests and their health,” he says.Every year Aprovecho holds a “stove camp” at its testing station. Engineers, inventors and others come together to design and test different methods and materials for improving stoves. Over the years, the group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, etc, most of which look like large, deep cooking pots and have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on top to put a pot.In the late nineteen seventies, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was very good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not very efficient. The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and took much longer to heat food. Since then, Dean Still says they have experimented with countless other designs.Aprovecho has partnered with a stove manufacturer (制造商) in China. The company is making Aprovechos stoves. They are said to use forty percent to fifty percent less wood than an open fire, and produce fifty percent to seventy-five percent less smoke. A company is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than one hundred thousand have been sold so far.32.

The poor should be forbidden to cut down the forestsC. Its urgent to change the present situation of using fuelsD. Using fuels such as gas and oil cannot cause deaths34. People hold the stove camp every year in order to _.A. encourage people to find new fuelsB. test different methods for improving stovesC. find new ways of designing beautiful stovesD. celebrate the invention of the best efficient cooking equipment35. Whats your assessment on the popular stove called the Lorena?A. Energy-saving. B. Very compact.C. Smokeless. D. Less efficient.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practise laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从3150各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(独奏演唱会).
