The bicycle has changed a lot over time. Here are some of these changes.The Draisiennes was invented around 1816. The bicycle had two wooden wheels and a seat, but no pedals (脚踏板). Riders used their feet to push the bicycle along the ground.The velocipede was invented around 1867. This bike had pedals added to the front wheel, like a tricycle. It had an iron frame and wooden wheels. This made the ride difficult.The Penny Farthing was invented around 1870. It was all made of metal and the wheels were solid rubber (固体橡胶). The pedals were still added to the front wheel. The front wheel was much larger than the back wheel, and riders sat up high on the bike.In 1885, John Kemp Starley invented a bike whose design was very similar to the one used today. It was called Rover Safety Bicycle. The seat was between two wheels of the same size. A sprocket and chain (链轮和链条) system added to pedals drove the bike from the back wheel.Today’s bicycles are made of metal This makes them much lighter. They also have a system of gears that let riders go faster and climb hills.21. Which of the following is TRUE about the Draisiennes?A. It had two simple pedals.B. It was invented in 1867.C. It was the first bike in the world.D. Riders pushed with their feet to make it move.22. What did the Penny Farthing look like?A. B. C. D. 23. Which one is similar to the modern ones?A. The Draisiennes.B. The velocipede.C. The Penny Farthing.D. The Rover Safety Bicycle.24. From the passage, we can learn ________.A. the earliest bikes were made of metalB. bikes at the early time were easy to controlC. modern bikes are lighter than ancient bikesD. John Kemp Starley invented the safest bike in the world25. The passage is written in the order of ________.A. spaceB. timeC. importanceD. sizeBThis summer, the temperatures were very high in Europe. Firefighters fought against hundreds of wildfires in many European countries. And hundreds of people died because of the heat wave.However, according to a survey, only about 20% of homes in Europe have air conditioners, compared to 90% in the US. Why is that?First, usually it isn’t very hot in Europe in summer because of its location. Europe is located farther north than the US, making the weather cooler. The average (平均的) temperature in July in London is 24℃, which is 10 degrees cooler than that in New York.Second, there are many old houses in Europe. More than half of the houses in Europe were built in the last century. The weather then was not as hot as it is nowadays. Naturally, air conditioners were unnecessary. What’s more, those old houses’ structure (构造) and material make it harder and more expensive to install air conditioners. Installing an air conditioner could cost more than the air conditioner itself.As for other reasons, they can be very personal. Some people think air conditioners make them sick, so they don’t accept air conditioners. Some think using air conditioners produçes much greenhouse gas. It is bad for the environment and makes the weather even hotter!But things will probably change in the coming years. With higher and higher temperatures, more and more Europeans are considering air conditioners these days.26. Why isn’t it hot in Europe in summer usually?A Because of the firefighters.B. Because of its location.C. Because of the air conditioners.D. Because of the US.27. What does the underlined word “install” in Paragraph 4 mean??A. set upB. clean upC. give upD. make up28. What does using air conditioners produce?A. Wildfires.B. Greenhouse gas.C. Heat wave.D. Natural environment.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. People in Europe use air conditioners more than those in the US.B. The average temperature in July in London is hotter than that in New York.C. The weather in the last century was cooler than that nowadays.D. About 80% of homes in Europe have air conditioners.30. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Why Europe is cool.B. Why air conditioners make people sick.C. Why the temperatures are higher and higher.D. Why most Europeans don’t have air conditioners.C配对阅读。左栏是五个人的愿望，右栏是七座城市的简介。请从右栏中为左栏中的每个人选出最合适的旅游城市，并将答题卡对应题目所选的选项涂黑。____31____ Alice has been drawing since she was four years old.
