Ⅲ.阅读理解
The wheel was one of the most important inventions and yet it has also proved one of the most useful. So wide and varied are the uses of wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds, that it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them. It is surprising to hear it said, therefore, that the wheel's importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century (the 20th century) by an invention so new as to be still unnamed.
The invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion of air (气垫). The cushion is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine. This part is shaped like a saucer (碟子) turned upside down. If air is blown into this saucer, the machine rises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet.
Industry is already using one form of the invention to deal with heavy loads. It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels,and therefore no friction (摩擦), they can be put into moving with the touch of a finger.
The new invention,however, is having a great effect on transport. Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary,but it enables vehicles to travel equally well over land or water. This unique (独一无二的) ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction (预言) that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of the century as aeroplanes were at the beginning.
1. The first paragraph tells us that ________.
A. a new invention may make wheels less important
B. wide wheels have a variety of important uses
C. the wheel's usefulness is yet to be proved
D. the wheel was man's earliest invention
答案与解析 A 第一段说轮子是一项重要创造,已经证明是一项最有用的创造。而在段末可知A项正确,排解其他项。
2.The passage tells us that the new invention ________.
A. is more important for industry than for transport
B. makes it possible to travel without using roads
C. will one day be used instead of aeroplane
D. will replace wheeled vehicles in a hundred years
答案与解析 B 由其次段第一句和最终一句可知,这项新创造将漂在空中,离地几英寸或几英尺,故推知B项正确。
3.At the end of the century, vehicles using the new invention will probably be ________.
A. plentiful B. unimportant
C. rare D. expensive
答案与解析 A 由文章段末“wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of the century as aeroplanes were at the beginning”可知,A项正确。
4.According to the passage, the new invention ________.
A. will soon get a name
B. is lighter than air
C. can go almost anywhere
D. was uncommon a century ago
答案与解析 C 新创造可以飘浮在空中,可推知C项正确。A、B项文章未提及;D项叙述不正确。
