It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Si
58、nce those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency. Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn t
59、he needle around with each stitch(缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection. Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed b
60、y a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine. American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howes machine had a needle wi
61、th an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that doze
62、ns of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines. Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also
63、developed a foot treadle(脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewers hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home us
64、e and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of pa
65、tent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention. 72. Barthelemy Thimonniers garment factory was burne

Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his inventionC. the sewing machines was couldnt work finally D. workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire73.

Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.74. Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of roya
68、lties?A. Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.B. Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer. C. Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it. D. Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine. 75. Which of the following would

80、 called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs (破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion. Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they he
81、ard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazinewhich is a storage place for arms, ammunition(军火), and explosiveshad exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on
82、 the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings
83、between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba. The United States government issued an ultimatum(最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and
84、 President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender. More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazi
