28、d the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Why were the Wright brothers able to succeed in an effort at which so many others had failed? Many explanations have been mentioned, but three reasons are most often cited

29、. First, they were a team. Both men worked congenially and cooperatively, talked incessantly about the possibility of manned flight, and served as a conscious source of inspiration and encouragement to each other. Both were glider pilots. Unlike some other engineers who experimented with the theorie

30、s of flight, they experienced the practical aspects of aerodynamics by building and flying in kites and gliders. They had realized from their experiments that the most serious challenge in manned flight would be stabilizing and maneuvering the aircraft once it was airborne. While others concentrated

31、 their efforts on the problem of achieving lift for take-off, they were focusing on developing a three axis control for guiding their aircraft. In addition, the Wright brothers had designed more effective wings for the airplane than had been previously engineered. Using a wind tunnel, they tested mo

32、re than two hundred different wing designs, recording the effects of slight variations in shape on the pressure of air on the wings. The data from theses experiments allowed the Wright brothers to construct a superior wing for their air craft. In spite of these advantages, however, the Wright brothe

33、rs might not have succeeded had they not been born at precisely the opportune moment in history. Attempts to achieve manned flight in the early nineteenth century were doomed because the steam engines that powered the aircrafts were so heavy in proportion to the power that they produced. But by rite

34、 end of the nineteenth century, when the brothers were experimenting with engineering options, a relatively light internal combustion engine had already been invented, and they were able to bring the ratio of weight to power within acceptable limits for flight. 46 What is the passage mainly talking

35、about? （ A） The reason why the Wright brothers succeeded in manned flight. （ B） The role the internal combustion engine played in the Wright brothers experiments. （ C） The Wright brothers experience as pilots. （ D） The importance of gliders to the development of airplane. 47 The word“ incessantly“ (

36、 Para 1 ) could best be replaced by _. （ A） confidently （ B） constantly （ C） intelligently （ D） optimistically 48 Why does the author suggest that the experiments with the wind tunnel were important? （ A） Because they allowed the Wright brothers to decrease the weight of their airplane. （ B） Because

37、 they resulted in a three-axis control for their airplane. （ C） Because they were important in the refinement of the wings for their airplane. （ D） Because they used the data to improve the engine for their airplane. 49 In Paragraph 4, the author suggests that the steam engine used in the earlier ai

38、rcrafts had failed because _. （ A） they were too small to power a large plane （ B） they were too light to generate enough power （ C） they. didnt have internal combustion power （ D） they didnt have enough power to lift their own weight 50 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the Wr

39、ight brothers success? （ A） They worked very well together. （ B） They both had practical experience building aircraft. （ C） They made extensive tests before they completed the design. （ D） They were well funded. 50 What will man be like in the future 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only

40、make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years

41、 is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and

42、eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long pe

43、riod of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what ab

44、out hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! Thi

45、s may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 51 The passage mainly tells us that _. （ A） mans life will be different in the future （ B） future man wi

46、ll look quite different from us （ C） man is growing taller and uglier as time passes （ D） mans organs functions will be on the wane 52 What serves as the evidence that man is changing? （ A） Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. （ B） Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner. （ C） Mans arms

47、and legs have become lighter and weaker. （ D） Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. 53 The change in mans size of forehead is probably because _. （ A） only 20 % of the brains capacity is being made use of （ B） his brain has grown larger over the past centuries （ C） the other 80% of hi

48、s brain will grow in due time （ D） he will use his brain more and more as time goes on 54 What is true about a human being in the future? （ A） He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. （ B） He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses. （ C） His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to ma

49、ke use of them. （ D） He thinks and feels in a different way. 55 It is implied that _. （ A） human beings will become less attractive in the future （ B） less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration （ C） human beings hope for a change in the future life （ D） future life is always predictable 55 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whethe
