　　There have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live．The first great invention was the one that is still very important today——the wheel．This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance．

　　For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel．Then in the early 1800s the world started to change．There was little unknown land left in the world．People didn't have to explore much any more．They began to work instead to make life better．

　　In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made．Among them were the camera, the light and the radio．These all play a big part in our daily life today．

　　The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions．The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930．This was also a time when a new material was first made．Nylon came out in 1935．It changed the kind of clothes people wore．

　　The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases．They worked very well．They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer．By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60．

　　By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life．Of course new inventions continued to be made．But man now had a desire(渴望)to explore again．The earth was known to man but the stars were not．Man began looking for ways to go into space．Russia made the first step．Then United States took a step．Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space．

　　In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth．Americans first walked on the moon．This is certainly just a beginning, though．New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of．

閱讀理解

　　After spending years searching for a planet with life, scientists may have found one．In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581 g．It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液態(tài))water．Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life．

　　The planet Gliese 581 g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth．That is about 194 trillion(萬億)kilometres－500 million times farther away from us than the moon．

　　A spacecraft traveling at a one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years．A human can’t live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier．However, our fastest spacecraft don’t come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark．

　　At present, scientists don’t know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581 g．What they know is that the planet is at the sight distance from its star to have liquid water．It’s also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface．

　　Although spacecraft won’t be getting there anytime soon, one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望遠鏡)towards the planet and search for radiation(放射)．By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化學物質)around the planet and discover it Gliese 581 g has an atmosphere．If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea if the planet has life or not．But it’ll probably be many years before we can do this properly．

　　People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581 g．Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers．

(1)

What did scientists find in September 2010?

[　　]

A．

A planet with water．

B．

A planet similar to the earth．

C．

A planet without life．

D．

A planet near the earth．

(2)

According to the article, Gliese 581 g _________．

[　　]

A．

is at the right distance from its star

B．

moves around the earth

C．

is as far away from us as the moon

D．

can be reached in about 220 years

(3)

Paragraph 5 is mainly about _________．

[　　]

A．

the possibility of living on Gliese 581 g

B．

the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581 g

C．

the way of looking for life on Gliese 581 g

D．

the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581 g

(4)

Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?

[　　]

A．

Gliese 581 g, a Likely Living Planet

B．

Gliese 581 g, a Likely Living Planet

C．
