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 countrys 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.本文為記敘文，主要講述了發(fā)明家兼技工Frank Duryea的生平事跡。4In the writers opinion, why did Frank Duryea insist that the first automobile was entirely his own invention?ABecause he lived longer than his older brother.BBecause he made more contributions to the invention.CBecause he came up with the idea first.DBecause he was the first driver on the American road.解析 A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知，作者認(rèn)為因?yàn)镕rank Duryea比他哥哥晚去世很多年，所以他有最后的發(fā)言權(quán)，堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為這項(xiàng)發(fā)明屬于自己，故選A項(xiàng)。5Why did Duryea manage to win the race?ATo win much money.BTo promote his invention.CTo compete with his brother.DTo challenge himself.解析 B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句中的to advertise for the product可知，Duryea奮力贏得比賽是在為自己的產(chǎn)品做宣傳促銷，故選B項(xiàng)。6When StevensDuryea Company was organized, how old was Duryea?A26.B30.C32.D46.解析 C數(shù)字計(jì)算題。根據(jù)最后一段首句可知，Duryea創(chuàng)建該公司的時(shí)間是1901年，而文章開頭提到他于1869年出生，由此可知，Duryea創(chuàng)建該公司時(shí)32歲，故選C項(xiàng)。7What is the passage mainly talking about?AFrank Duryea.BFrank and his brother.CFranks invention.DFranks company.解析 A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了Frank Duryea的生平事跡，包括他的發(fā)明、創(chuàng)建的公司、參加的比賽、退休后的生活等，故選A項(xiàng)。.語法填空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 Chinas “father of hybrid rice”， Yuan Longping, have already started growing the crop in diluted(稀釋了的)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.
