Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?People tried for centuri
17、es to invent the typewriter. In 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine Or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing, drawing upon this way all Writing may be absorbed in Paper so Neat
18、and Exact as not to be distinguished from Print. That machine probably didnt sell because no one could remember its name!The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes. His machine was known as the type-writer. It had a movable carriage, a lever
19、 for turning paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order. But Sholes had a problem. On his first model, his “ABC” key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly. Sholes didnt know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his s
20、olution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. Sholes asked his brother-in-1aw to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement w
21、as the QWERTY arrangement typists use today. Of course, Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency. The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typists fingers to cover more distan
22、ce on the keyboard.The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard. Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge success. By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology ha
23、d improved, and the keys didnt stick as badly as they had at first.36. We know from the passage that the inventor of the first practical typewriter is_.A. Henry Mill B. Christopher Latham Sholes C. Sholes brother-in-law D. Albert Einstein37. The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could
24、 not be sold because_.A. it was difficult for people to accept new thingsB. there were great disadvantages of the key boardC. the name of the machine was too longD. the machine could not be distinguished from print38. Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to_.A. solve the pr
25、oblem of the keys jammingB. arrange the letters in alphabetical orderC. cause the keys to jam when the typist worked quicklyD. compete with “ABC” key arrangement39. It is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard_.A. is the most scientific arrangement B. adds speed and efficiency of typis
26、tsC. is easy for typists to memorize D. keeps the typist from typing too fast 40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. The Story of Christopher Latham SholesB. How to Invent the TypewriterC. The First Practical TypewriterD. The Arrangement of the Letters on Keyboard BEnergy
27、 independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesnt it? If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the g
28、reat recession(经济衰退). “Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through. What is it we want independence from, exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But th
29、ere are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流) of bio-fuel(生物燃料) available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans h
30、ave basically decided that they dont really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what exte
31、nt are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental impacts of domestic(国内的) energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And
32、 although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow
33、 to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.41. What does the author sa
34、y about energy independence for America?A. It sounds very attractive. B. It will bring oil prices down.C. It ensures national security. D. It has long been everyones dream.42. What does the author think of bio-fuels?A. They keep Americas economy running healthily.B. They cause serious damage to the
35、environment.C. They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.D. They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.43. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A. It wants to expand its storage of raw oil.B. Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C. Its own oil production falls short of de
36、mand.D. It wants to keep its own environment untouched.44. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It makes for economic recession B. It brings benefit only to the sellers C. It improves economic efficiency D. It saves the cost of oil exploration45. What is the authors purpose in writing the pas
37、sage? A. To explain the increase of international oil trade. B. To raise Americans awareness of the energy crisis. C. To argue for Americas dependence on oil imports. D. To stress the importance of energy protection. C When I set out to drop my dad off at the airport, it was dark and dreary(沉闷的). It
38、 started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasnt clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am. Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp(
39、坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral (急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary ill when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didnt want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing fac
40、e down on the passenger side. I didnt like to drive by myself at the time and had debated taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I shuddered to think the injuries my son woul
41、d have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the car rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but without th
42、e numbers preprogrammed who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my fathers mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadnt yet got on his plane. You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, es
43、pecially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride.46. Why was the author angry with those drivers?A.

47、 Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists. Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the towns newspaper. The Beldon Post:FIRE AT SEABREEZE Late last night firemen hurried
48、to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors：“Please dont smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldons first hotel fire for five years. The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on
49、 page one： ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRELast night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I
50、 put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield. What are the facts, then?
