There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today — the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
In the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world. People began to work to make life better.
In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light bulbs. There were more great inventions in the early 20th century, such as the helicopters in 1907, movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.

六、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

We have studied English for many years. There’s one way to demonstrate wh at you’ve learned—take a test!
Do you have any special methods you use to do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day.
Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts。

Nor is it a time to starve yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.
Be prepared. Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.
Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
Look over all the ans wer choices. Don’t assume that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip it and come back to it later.
Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skil ls you need for taking tests.
