People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use bicycles to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?‎ In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. What's worse, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet! Riding a bicycle took great risk.‎ In 1817, a German named Baron von Drais de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.‎ Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had space for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.‎ It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.‎ ‎39．According to the passage, people ride bicycles in order to ____ .‎ A．find good jobs B．take exercise C．be liked by others D．live in cities ‎40．The first bicycle was ____.‎ A．difficult to move B．popular with women C．comfortable to ride D．easy to change direction ‎41．The bicycle first became popular around ____.‎ A．1817 B．1836 C．1852 D．1862‎ ‎42．What's the passage mainly about?‎ A．The reasons for riding a bike. B．The inventor of the bicycle.‎ C．The history of the bicycle. D．A very popular exercise.‎ C Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.‎ Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.‎ Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the ‎ image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.‎ This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.‎ Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.‎ That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.‎ ‎43．What happened when the author was about to take a photo?‎ A．Her camera stopped working. B．A woman blocked her view.‎ C．Someone asked her to leave. D．A friend approached from behind.‎ ‎44．According to the author, the woman was probably___________.‎ A．enjoying herself B．losing her patience C．waiting for the sunset D．thinking about her past ‎45．In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?‎ A．The rich color of the landscape. B．The perfect positioning of the camera.‎ C．The woman’s existence in the photo. D．The soft sunlight that summer day.‎ ‎46．The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________.‎ A．the need to be close to nature B．the importance of private space C．the joy of the vacation in Italy D．the shared passion for beauty D A Kenyan teacher who gave away most of his monthly salary (工资)to poor people has won a $1-million Global Teacher Prize.‎ In 2016, Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School, a public school, in a faraway Kenya s Rift Valley. The school had just a single computer and had problems connecting to the Internet. It had no library or laboratory, as well. To make matters worse, the students came ‎ from poor families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have caused most people to leave quickly, Tabichi stayed.‎ Realizing that starving kids make for poor students, the teacher began using as much as 80 percent of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids interested in the topic. “Our laboratory does not have everything, but I encourage them to think wider and use what we can get locally. ”‎ Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visit low-achieving, at-risk, students at their homes to provide one- on-one help and to understand the difficulties these children face daily. Tabichi also encourages parents to allow girls to continue their high-school education.‎ Tabichi's efforts have made a difference. School registration (注册)has more than doubled to almost 400 now since he came . In 2017, 16 of the 59 graduating students went to college, while in 2018, the number rose to 26. In 2017 , five students qualified(有资格)for the Intel ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair). This year, two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in Phoenix, Arizona.‎ The teacher, however, owes his success to his students, saying,"I am only here because of what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do anything. " As would be expected, Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community and to feed the poor.‎ ‎47．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．A school located in a Kenya's Rift valley became famous.‎ B．A Kenyan teacher helping poor students won Global Teacher Prize.‎ C．A Kenyan teacher helped girls to continue their high-school education.‎ D．Five Kenyan students qualified for the Intel ISEF for their performance.‎ ‎48．What can we know about Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School?‎ A．It had dozens of teachers. B．It was in the centre of a city.‎ C．It owned a modem lab. D．It was in poor condition.‎ ‎49．Which word can be used to describe Peter Tabichi?‎ A．Honest. B．Wealthy. C．Kind. D．Humorous.‎ ‎50．Which is the closest number of students when Peter Tabichi began teaching there?‎ A．90. B．190. C．290 D．390.‎ 四 完形填空（每题1.5分，共20题，共30分）‎ It surprised me----every time I saw Joe, he was smiling.
