Then people can tell me the exact time. But before the invention of clocks, it was very difficult. One way people told the time was by using sundials, but it was impossible to tell the time on cloudy days or at night.The first mechanical(计时) clock was invented in China by Su Sung in 1088. The first clock in Europe was invented 195 years later, at the end of the 13th century. And in Britain, 67 years later, the alarm clock was invented in Germany.The first watch was invented in Italy in 1462. Early watches were different from today's in two main ways. First, they only had an hour hand. Second, you could not wear them on your wrist(手腕). You had to keep them in your pocket—that's why they were called 'pocket clocks'.The first wrist watch came from Switzerland 328 years after the first pocket clock, but nobody bought them. They did not become popular for a hundred years.Digital clocks and watches came from the United States and are the new popular inventions in time-keeping. Shops all over the world started to sell them in 1971.51. The underlined "sundials" in the first paragraph may mean .A. 太阳B. 日冕C. 手表D. 闹钟52. The first mechanical(计时) clock was invented .A. in ChinaB. in EnglandC. in AmericaD. in Germany53. The first watch was invented years later than the first mechanical clock.A. 195B. 67C. 328D. 37454. According to the passage, the first wrist watch .A. was invented in Italy in 1462B. many people liked to buy itC. was the same as our watches nowadaysD. came from Switzerland 328 years after the first pocket clock55. This passage may be from a(an) .A. newsB. adsC. magazineD. math bookBSince the beginning of time, man has invented many interesting things. Some of these inventions, like the number and the radio, have certainly changed history. Since 1946, one of the most important inventions has been the computer.The first computer was built at Harvard University in 1944. It was as large as a room and quite difficult and slow to operate. But since the invention of the silicon chip (硅片), computers have become smaller, easier to use, and faster to operate. Some computers are as small as television sets. Some computers can be made smaller than a book. And computers are getting smaller all the time.There are several reasons why the computer is useful. First, it can store a very, very large amount of information. Second, the computer can operate very quickly. Third, modern computers can be built into other kinds of machines, like radios, cars and planes. They can do a lot of work for us.Soon, almost everyone, either at home or at work, will use some kind of computer. The lives of all of us will be changed by this invention.56. Which has been one of the most important inventions since 1946?A. The number.B. The radio.C. The computer.D. The silicon chip.57. The first computer was built .A. in the middle of the 19th centuryB. in the middle of the 20th centuryC. at the beginning of timeD. at the beginning of this century58.

The computer is useful because .A. it can store lots of informationB. it can store much moneyC. it can operate very quickly and can be built into other machinesD. both A and CCNow satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前).61. Satellites travel .A. in spaceB. above spaceC. above the groundD. in the atmosphere62. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because .A. clouds form thereB. the weather forms thereC. the weather satellites can do it easilyD. the pictures can forecast the weather63. Meteorologists forecast the weather .A. without studying satellite picturesB. before they receive satellite picturesC. when they have received satellite picturesD. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones64. Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for .A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer65. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in .A. taking pictures of the earthB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. weather forecastingD. doing other work in many waysDWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's mistake." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming(指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague(同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose mistake it is". Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.66. What does the underlined word "remedy" probably mean?A. Avoid.B. Accept.C. Improve.D. Consider.67. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. blame him for his being short of responsibilityB. find a better way to deal with the problemC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help68. What can be the best title for the passage?A. A Winner's SecretB. A Winner's ChanceC. A Winner's ProblemD. A Winner's Progress八、短文7选5(5选5等)（共4小题；共8分）Ways to Increase Your ConfidenceThere are some ways you can use to increase your self-confidence. Some of them you'll need to practice a lot before they start to work. It's like playing the guitar or soccer. They might not work too well the first or second time you try them.

The 27-year-old athlete(田径运动员) was the face of the London 2012 Olympics and is a role model to many teenagers.Ennis developed her interest in track and field at a young age. When her parents took her to hurdle events at a stadium in England, she fell in love with the sport immediately.In addition to the hurdles, Ennis tried her hand at the heptathlon(女子七项全能), a race combination(结合) of high jump, long jump, 100-metre hurdles and four other sports events. Throughout high school, she spent much of her time on training.However, many of her schoolmates didn't believe she could be an athlete. "When I started practicing the heptathlon, I was always getting people saying 'You're too small and you won't be good at this event because of your height,'" Ennis said.But other people's words didn't make her feel sad. Instead, she started practicing even harder than before. She dreamed of being an Olympic champion one day, and her dream came true finally.Ennis's success inspires(鼓舞) many teenagers: If you want to achieve anything, you just give this all your attention and don't worry about other people's words. If you have a dream, please follow your heart and try your best to make it happen!根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
