三、阅读理解
At 10：35 a．m. on December 17，1903，two brothers from Ohio flew the first successful airplane for 12 seconds and 120 feet along a beach in Kitty Hawk，North Carolina. With Orville flying first，the brothers took turns as pilot，and they flew three more times that day. On their fourth try，they managed to go 852 feet in 59 seconds—an amazing feat at the time. The two brothers had invented powered flight.
Orville and Wilbur Wright owned a bicycle shop in Dayton，Ohio. Although they had not gone to school to learn about airplanes or engineering，they were good mechanics. By repairing bicycles，they had learned how gears and pulleys worked. They also learned to take careful notes about what they saw. Each time they made a new design and tested a machine，they took notes and made drawings. They would study these to figure out what they could do better the next time.
Before the Wright brothers flew，they did many things to prepare for this extraordinary achievement. They read everything they could find about air，balloons and kites. Then they made careful sketches of what they wanted to build. They began by making model kites to learn how air flowed over wings. They made them bigger and bigger until they had a glider－a kite that is big enough to hold a person，but with no engine. The Wright brothers made three gliders before building their first airplane. Each time they made a glider，they would test it，make careful observations，and then improve their design.
When they made a glider that flew well，they added an engine. This step was harder than it sounds，because they had to find an engine that was both light－weight and powerful. The engines that they could buy were either too heavy or too weak，so they asked their friend Charlie Taylor to help them build one. The first engine that Charlie built broke almost immediately，but the second one worked well.
After Orville and Wilbur installed the engine in their plane，they were almost ready. They simply had to wait for the perfect day with just the fight amount of wind. On the morning of December 17，1903，they had their chance. And the airplane flew into history.
1．What was the speed of the first flight?
A．10 feet per second. B．120 feet per minute.
C．12 feet per second. D．1200 feet per hour.
2．The brothers constructed a number of kites in order to ________．
A．test the materials they would use for their plane
B．prove that building a flying machine was possible
C．see which shape could support the most weight
D．improve the design of their plane's wings
3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The Wright brothers built all the parts of their first plane.
B．Wilbur Wright flew 852 feet on December 17，1903.
C．There was no wind on the day the Wright brothers flew.
D．Orville Wright went on to become a professional pilot.
4．In what order did the following events occur?
a．The Wright brothers started reading about balloons.
b．The Wright brothers ran a bicycle repair shop.
c．A suitable engine was built.
d．Orville successfully flew for the first time.
e．Charlie Taylor was asked to help.
f．Three gliders were built.
A．c，f，e，b，a，d B．b，ca，f，d，e
C．b，a，f，e，c，d D．d，e，a，f，c，b

参考答案
一、
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了科学家们对美国喀喀湖周围的古文明展开的一系列调查及其初步成果。
1．was thought 由主语可知用被动语态。
2．in 由前面的taking part可知用in。

2. B useless无用的；dangerous危险的；childish孩子气的；naughty调皮的。从上文来看Art room发生了火灾，因此此处应该是由于危险而不能靠近，故选B项。
3. B test检查，测试；risk危险；check检查；chance机会。根据前文可知我们应该是冒险去做某事。take a risk冒险做某事。
4. A reach到达；search搜索；enter进入；clean清理。从后文“looking hard__6__the door window”可知，我们并没有进入the Art room，故选A项。
5. D until “直到……”；unless“除非……”；as “当……时”；if“如果”。根据文章意思推测，本句应该是：……如果我被抓所面临的后果。所以本题选D项。
