24、Famous Inventions and Their Inventors

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by a German professor, Wilhelm Roentgen. People all over the world were amazed by his invention, the X-ray machine. This invention was so important that Roentgen won the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901.

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a doctor and speech teacher. The first phone call was made by Bell in 1876. He got acid(酸) on his pants by accident and wanted his partner, Thomas Watson, to help him. The first words spoken on the telephone were “Mr. Watson, come here! I need you!”

Television was invented in 1926 by John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor. Baird’s television certainly didn't look like a television today! Electronic televisions like the ones we have today were invented by Vladimir Zworykin in the 1920s in the United States.

The first computer was built in 1946 by two American engineers, J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly. It was developed for the army, and it was so large that it took up the whole room! Later, in 1971, the “microchip” was invented, and small home computers were first produced for personal use. Today computers are involved in almost everything we do and are found almost everywhere we go.

25、阅读下面的三篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选顶中，选择最佳选项。

Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world.

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However，after the war，he was put into prison(监狱)，because of his beliefs（信念，信条）. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.

However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but only a legend. The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist. ”

Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

【1】Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________.

A. shape     B. size     C. colour D. weight

【2】According to the passage，Alan Turing________.

A. died in the prison

B. used an apple to design a logo

C. was put into prison during the war

D. was the father of a computer company

【3】What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?

A. To introduce its designer.

B. To tell us a legend （传说）about it.

C. To try to find the truth of it.

D. To explain its market research.

26、   There are countless myths( 神话) to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural moon.

China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back onto the earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist.

Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. "This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away, "Wu added.

If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position relative to the sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6, 400 square kilometers on the earth for 24 hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.

【1】How many man-made moon will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist?

A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

【2】The man-made moon will be about _______ kilometers above the earth.
