    9．Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison．However，most people don't know the name of the man who invented the television，Philo Farnsworth．
    Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906and grew up on a potato farm．As a boy，he loved to learn about science，and he read a lot of science books．When he was only thirteen years old，he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds．He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field．The potatoes grew in long lines，side by side．This made a shape in Philo's mind．This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass．But he was poor，so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time．
    Later，Philo worked at many different jobs．He worked with trees．He worked on broken radios．He worked on trains．He also worked as a street cleaner．At last，two rich men heard about his idea for television，and they gave him the money to make it．On September 7th，1927，they watched Philo test the machine he built．When Philo turned on the machine，a small line could be seen on the glass．Philo said，"There you have it，electric television．"
    Later，a big company，RCA，said they had made the first television．Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them．Finally，he won．Then，World War Two started in 1939．During the war，Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead ofbuilding up   his television company．After the war，other bigger，richer companies started making televisions．In the end，Philo had to sell his company．

    29．Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text？C
    A．To remember both of them．
    B．To prove their wisdom．
    C．To introduce the topic of the text．

    12．Dinosaurs ruled the planet for millions of years，and they are generally believed to have gone extinct．But the reality is that modern versions of dinosaurs are all around us．Scientists have been exploring similarities between birds and dinosaurs； and new research shows that these two types of animals are directly linked．
    The connections between birds and dinosaurs are explored in a new museum exhibit called Dinosaurs Among Us at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City．
    According to Mark Norell，the director of the exhibit and an expert at the museum，it is based on new scientific evidence collected over the last two decades．"I think this is really going to shake up the way people think of dinosaurs"Norell told reporters．"One could argue that we still live in the age of dinosaurs．"
    The exhibit includes ancient fossils and lifelike models of dinosaurs of all sizes to show the evolution of dinosaurs into birds．It examines several properties that are shared between the two species，including feathers，complex brains，the shapes．And sizes of eggs，and the ability to fly．Birds today make nests，lay eggs and tend to babies．Fossil research shows that some dinosaurs also made nests and laid eggs．Also，birds have hollow（中空的）bones，which don't weigh much and allow birds to take more air into their lungs．These adaptations help with flight．Some dinosaurs had these properties as well．In addition，the exhibit shows that there are many similarities between the legs，claws； and feet of dinosaurs and birds．
    Norell noted that the research behind this exhibit is the result of advanced scientific，techniques； and new technologies．For example researchers used a scanning （扫描） process called computed tomography （CT） to look inside the brains of extinct dinosaurs．It combines with many X-rays to produce a 3D image．"Modern technology tells us more than we thought we could ever know about the connections between dinosaurs and birds，"Norell said．

    32．What's the main idea of this text？D
    A．Experts．have discovered many dinosaurs'fossils．
    B．A new museum has opened for visitors to New York City．
    C．Research has been done on the lifestyles of birds and dinosaurs．
    D．An exhibit shows the connections between birds and dinosaurs．
    33．What does the underlined word"properties"in Paragraph 4 mean？B
    A．Advantages．
    B．Characters．
    C．Changes．
    D．Activities．
    34．One of the similarities that dinosaurs and birds share lies inB
    A．their lungs    
    B．their light bones
    C．the shapes of their nests    
    D．the number of their eggs
    35．What did Mark Norell try to show by mentioning CT？C
    A．The importance of the research．
    B．What connects dinosaurs and birds．
    C．The application of modern technology．
    D．How dinosaurs lived millions of years ago．

    18．Some 30，000 years ago，artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them：panthers，hyenas，rhinos，cave lions，mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time．
    The artwork，more than a thousand drawings，is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered．They were preserved because the cave was sealed---closed off--for more or less 23，000 years．
    Fast forward to December 18，1994，a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France．Jean Marie Chauvet，who led the group then，describes the process of discovering the cave paintings．"At that time I was in the front，Eliette just walked behind me，Christian behind．Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre（赭石） and she said，‘They came here．'And at this very moment everything began．The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art（壁画）．That is where it started．"
    Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings．"I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses．"
    Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork．Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago，before human history was written．The United Nations'cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site．They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety．
    The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it．However，its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings．So the cave is closed，and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork．
    However，French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave，called Pont d'Arc Cavern．The copy，which we also called replica，cost more than 59 million dollars to build．It opened at the end of April in France．
    Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern．He says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe．He says the place is magic because it is done so well．Authorities say they think as many as 400，000 people will be allowed to visit Pont d'Arc Cavern every year．
    29．According to Jean Clottes'words in Paragraph 4，the paintings in the cave wereB．
    A．abstract     
    B．superior        
    C．creative    
    D．inspiring
    30．Which of the follow statements is TRUE about the Chauvet Cave？C
    A．It was closed off for more than 30，000 years．
    B．It is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art．
    C．The environment and artwork there are very easy to damage．
    D．The majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals．
    31．The purpose of creating Pndt d'Arc Cavern is toC．
    A．show admiration for the earliest artists in Europe
    B．arouse visitors'awareness of protecting ancient art
    C．offer visitors chances to view the wonderful artwork
    D．collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave．
