40、ctly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know，however，that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia. The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5，100 years 0ld. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become po

41、pular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until ther

42、e was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new

43、design of road-a base layer (层)of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller atones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic

44、 tyre（充气轮胎）in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(泊油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.64.

47、velopment of transport wheels.C. The history of public transport. D.

The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the

48、 inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as

49、one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot rest To the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the oceans breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that mov

50、es, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics

51、(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. An

52、d it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.68. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is _.A. always energetic B. lacking in liveliness C. shaped like a square D. favored by ancient poets69. Wh

To prove the vastness of the sea.70. What does the underlined word ”symbiotic” mean?A. Living together. B. Growi

54、ng fast. C. Moving harmoniously. D. Breathing peacefully.71. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to _.A. a beautiful and poetic place B. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful world D. a lovely animalEIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixati

55、on with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that, to an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather i
