24、

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.

About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians (埃及人) invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.

In the 13th century, the mechanical (机械的) clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. It’s cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. In 1956, came the digital (数字的) clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.

There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.

【1】According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.

A．water clock

B．sun clock

C．digital clock

D．mechanical clock

【2】How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?

A．Four.

B．Five.

C．Six.

D．Seven.

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary”?

A．现代的

B．特殊的

C．富有的

D．普通的

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The importance of time.

B．The development of timekeeping.

C．The inventions of clocks.

D．The history of a digital clock.

27、“Dad,” I say one day, “let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?”

My father has just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts and his life. When he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. When he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.

My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.

He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.

“What is our first stop?” asks my father.

“What time is it?”

“Still don’t have a watch?”

Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.

“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”

A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture(雕像) and then left the final touches to his son.

We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”

No directions, no goals. I used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.

The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.

“Have you ever travelled with your dad?” I ask.

“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”

The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.

In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling and I realize—maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.

Weeks after our trip, I call my father.

“The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.”

I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

【1】We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father ________.

A．followed the fashion

B．got bored with his job

C．was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle

D．liked the author’s collection of stamps

【2】What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore?

A．He should have a specific aim in life.

B．His father is as innocent as a little boy.

C．He should learn sculpture in the future.

D．His father is interested in sculpture.

【3】From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author ________.

A．wants his children to learn from their grandfather

B．comes to understand what parental love means

C．learns how to communicate with his father

D．hopes to give whatever he can to his father

【4】What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?

A．The call solves their disagreements.

B．The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.

C．They decide to learn photography together.

D．They begin to change their attitudes to life.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Zhang Yugun is head of Heihumiao Primary School in Henan Province.

He is a person f【1】 of love and responsibility(责任). After graduation in 2001, Zhang chose to work in the poor countryside. Over the past 21 years, he saw many teachers come and g【2】 because of the poor conditions in the v【3】. However, he has stayed on and made every effort to help the children d【4】 with their problems. One winter, travelling on the mountain road was much more difficult than usual. The school was about to start, but those students’ books were still in a town outside the village. Then Zhang and a【5】 teacher left early in the morning with a shoulder pole(扁担). They carried back kilos of books. When they got to the school, they were both covered in mud(泥), but the books were protected w【6】. In 2006, a cement road(水泥路)was built in the village. So Zhang started to carry the books with a motorbike. Although four motorbikes b【7】 down, he never stopped.
