(A)
Today I’ll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography.The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt.Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in;he made temporary pictures on the salt.Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today.Then a French scientist made the first permanent(永久的)picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt.A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the proce(制作法)by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat.This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs.But the problem was the printing of the photographs.And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were poible and photography became truly modern.In the 1870’s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War.In the 20’s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing(冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so-called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self-developing film.If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).1.What discovery was the basis of photography?
A.Light darkens silver salt.B.Light darkens natural salt.C.Light darkens silver.D.Light darkens self--developing film
2.How was the first permanent picture made?A.By making use of special paper.B.By adding common salt to silver salt.C.By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.D.By using a special piece of metal.3.What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography?A.1727B.1826C.1839D.1870
4.According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?A.He was a soldier.B.He took war photographs.C.He painted portraits.D.He designed a portable camera.第1页
5.What did Doctor Edward Lane invent?
A.A cheap proce of developing film at home.B.A new kind of film.C.An automatic printer.D.An ‘instant camera’ that develops its own film.(B)
When I called up my mother in the countryside on the telephone she was very upset.“There are some snakes in our courtyard,” she told me.“Snakes come near the house now and then, and they seem to have made their home here, not far from the walnut tree.Can you get rid of them please?” I felt very proud.Here was a chance for.me to distinguish myself by inventing something merciful that would catch snakes but not harm them.I knew my parents would not like me to hurt these living creatures!
The first thing I did was to see if there were any products that might help me, but there only seemed to be powders designed to kill snakes.A new approach was clearly needed.I set about researching the habits of snakes to find the easiest way to trap them.Luckily these reptiles are small and that made the solution easier.Prepared with some research findings, I decided on three poible approaches: firstly, removing their habitat;secondly, attracting them into a trap using male or female perfume or food;and thirdly cooling them so that they would become sleepy and could be easily caught.I decided to use the last one.I bought an ice-cream maker which was made of stainle steel.Between the outside and the inside walls of the bowl there is some jelly, which freezes when cooled.I put the bowl into the fridge and waited for 24 hours.At the same time I prepared some ice-cubes.The next morning I got up early before the sun was hot.I placed the frozen bowl over the snakes' habitat and the ice-cubes on top of the bowl to keep it cool.Finally I covered the whole thing with a large bucket.Then I waited.After two hours I removed the bucket and the bowl.The snakes were le active but they were still too fast for me.They abruptly disappeared into a convenient hole in the wall.So I had to adjust my plan.For the second attempt I froze the bowl and the ice-cubes again but placed them over the snakes' habitat in the evening, as the temperature was starting to cool.Then as before, I covered the bowl with the bucket and left everything overnight.Early the next morning I returned to see the result.This time with great caution I bent down to examine the snakes and I found them very sleepy.But once picked up, they tried to bite me.As they were poisonous snakes, I clearly needed to improve my design again.My third attempt repeated the second procedure.The next morning I carried in my hand a small net used for catching fish.This was in the expectation that the snakes would bite again.But monitored carefully, the snakes proved to be no trouble and all went according to plan.I collected the paive snakes and the next day we merrily released them all back into the wild.Preed by my friends and relations, I decided to seize the opportunity to get recognition for my succeful idea by sending my invention to the patent office.Only after you have had that
recognition can you say that you are truly an inventor.The criteria are so strict that it is difficult to get new
ideas accepted unle they are truly novel.In addition, no invention will get a patent if it is: ◎a discovery
◎a scientific idea or mathematical model ◎literature or art
◎a game or a busine ◎a computer programme
◎a new animal or plant variety
Nor will you receive a patent until a search has been made to find out that your product really is different from everyone else's.There are a large number of patent examiners, too, whose only job is to examine whether your claim is valid or not.If it paes all the tests, your application for a patent will be published 18 months from the date you apply.So I have filled in the form and filed my patent application with the Patent Office.Now it's a matter of waiting and hoping.You'll know if I succeed by the size of my bank balance!Wish me luck!

8.The purposes of the writer’s covering a bucket(line 24)include the following EXCEPT:A.To keep the bowl cool.B.To stop the snakes from escaping.C.To freeze the snakes in its habitat.D.To make the snakes breathle.9.Which of the following can explain why the snakes were caught?A.The writer blocked the snakes’ way to get walnuts.B.The snakes’ habitat was destroyed by the ice cubes.C.The floor was so slippery that the snakes could not move.D.The snakes cooled down and become le active.第2页
