When Duryea was just 24 years old, he and his older brother, Charles, designed and built the Duryea Motor Wagon, one of the first successful gaspowered motor vehicles in the United States. Ever since then, there has been a great deal of disagreement over exactly who was responsible for the invention of the Motor Wagon. Because Charles died earlier by many years, Duryea had the last word. Until the day when he died in February 1967, Duryea insisted that the first automobile was entirely his own invention.‎ Frank Duryea was the first driver on the American road. In September 1893, he was behind the wheel as the Duryea car made its first successful trip, 600 yards down his street in Springfield, Massachusetts. When he tried to turn the corner, the Motor Wagon was out of order; however, Duryea managed to fix it up and struggled to travel down the road for another halfmile or so.‎ In September 1895 the two brothers organized the first car company in the United States, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company, to build and sell their gaspowered socalled cars. On Thanksgiving Day of that year, to advertise for the product, Duryea won the country's first automobile race. (The race continued despite an enormous snowstorm that made the roads nearly impassable; still, Frank managed to complete the 50mile race in a little more than 10 hours.) ‎ Duryea left the Duryea Motor Wagon Company in 1899 and two years later he helped start the StevensDuryea Company. He retired in 1915 and spent the rest of his days living comfortably in Connecticut, traveling, gardening and walking around his workshop.‎ 本文为记叙文，主要讲述了发明家兼技工Frank Duryea的生平事迹。‎ ‎4．In the writer's opinion, why did Frank Duryea insist that the first automobile was entirely his own invention?‎ 6‎ A．Because he lived longer than his older brother.‎ B．Because he made more contributions to the invention.‎ C．Because he came up with the idea first.‎ D．Because he was the first driver on the American road.‎ 解析 A　推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知，作者认为因为Frank Duryea比他哥哥晚去世很多年，所以他有最后的发言权，坚持认为这项发明属于自己，故选A项。‎ ‎5．Why did Duryea manage to win the race?‎ A．To win much money.‎ B．To promote his invention.‎ C．To compete with his brother.‎ D．To challenge himself.‎ 解析 B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的to advertise for the product可知，Duryea奋力赢得比赛是在为自己的产品做宣传促销，故选B项。‎ ‎6．When StevensDuryea Company was organized, how old was Duryea?‎ A．26. B．30.‎ C．32. D．46.‎ 解析 C　数字计算题。根据最后一段首句可知，Duryea创建该公司的时间是1901年，而文章开头提到他于1869年出生，由此可知，Duryea创建该公司时32岁，故选C项。‎ ‎7．What is the passage mainly talking about?‎ A．Frank Duryea. B．Frank and his brother.‎ C．Frank's invention. D．Frank's company.‎ 解析 A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Frank Duryea的生平事迹，包括他的发明、创建的公司、参加的比赛、退休后的生活等，故选A项。‎ Ⅳ.语法填空 Chinese researchers have 1.________(successful) grown and harvested rice in the deserts of Dubai(迪拜) after developing a strain which 2.____________(allow) the crop to grow in salt water.‎ A team of scientists, 3.____________(lead)by China's “father of hybrid rice”， Yuan Longping, have already started growing the crop in diluted(稀释了的)seawater at home and are now bringing the technique to the Middle East.‎ The big harvest of rice last year in the suburbs of Dubai far exceeded scientists' expectations, according to a report by Xinhua News Agency.
