But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, theyre far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge
25、. Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems. Senz Common umbrellas love to invert when its windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one thats long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to the
26、ir tests, the Senz works well. Nubrella An American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this handfree umbrella. The handfree umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the users shoulders. So the user neednt hold the umbrella any more. And its convenient to make a p
27、hone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand. Kazbrella There is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip (滴水) everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks l
28、ike the common umbrella , the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem. Rain Shield In the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway
29、rain and its bendy (弯曲) design means it wont invert (反转). It can handle the strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece. 56. According to the first paragraph , we know that the common umbrellas _. A. are useful but not perfect enoughB. can only be used in a heavy rainC. can protect us
30、very well in a heavy rainD. are challenges for creative designers57. If you use Rain Shield in a heavy rainstorm, _. A. its not convenient enough to take B. it can protect you from sideway rain C. it will prevent neither rain nor wind D. its easier to get in and out of the car 58. Which sentence is
31、WRONG according to the passage?A. The Senz is easy to hold with its special shape even in windy weather. B. The Nubrella is a great idea for those who want to play sports on rainy days. C. The Kazbrella opens from the inside out and keeps dry when you carry around. D. The Rain Shield sells best with
32、 the special shape and it folds into a small piece. BHow did people tell the time before clocks were invented?At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening. La
33、ter, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed. This would let people tell what time it was. Over time, the Chinese first used s
34、undials instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. Each number stands for an hour of the day. But sundials dont work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out. Water clocks used water
35、 to measure time at night. Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another. The level of the water in the bowls showed the time. People also used sandglasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sandglasses. The sand falls from the top of the sandglasses to the bottom. It measures short
36、 amounts of the time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the sandglasses over. 59. At first, the ancient people told the time by looking at _. A. the stick B. the shadowC. the sun D. the moon60. Which picture can be a “sundial”?61. Whi
37、ch is right according to the passage?A. Sticks measured time in Egypt day and night. B. Sundials were first used in ancient Egypt. C. Sandglasses usually measure a long time. D. The water clock told the time by the water level in the bowls. 62. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Something about s
38、undials. B. How to tell the time by looking at the sun. C. How to tell the time in the past. D. Some inventions in China.CA young man was on a train.

In 2008, by accident, he came across a group of people flying a remotecontrolled model plane, which brought back his dream. He bought one for himself. He began to study onli

50、ic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody
51、can stay safe. The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks (轨道). The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red “stop” light ahe
52、ad and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”. However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the s
53、ignals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white. During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. Howeve
54、r, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely. Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights.

58、 poor man who could read a little bought it at a low price. The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was a piece of paper on which was written the secret of the touchstone (试金石)!The touchstone was a small pebble (鹅卵石). The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of ot
59、her pebbles. The secret was that the real touchstone felt warm, while ordinary (普通的) pebbles were cold. So the man walked on the seashore and began testing pebbles. He thought that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble again. So, when he felt one
60、that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this, but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he still went on with this. The days became weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he
61、 had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away. So it is the same with a good chance. Unless we are careful, its easy to miss the chance when its in hand. 73. What was the value of the book? (不超过10个词)_74
