31、03, two brothers from Ohio flew the first successful airplane for 12 seconds and 120 feet along a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. With Orville flying first, the brothers took turns as pilot, and they flew three more times that day. On their fourth try, they managed to go 852 feet in 59 seconds

32、an amazing feat at the time. The two brothers had invented powered flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. Although they had not gone to school to learn about airplanes or engineering, they were good mechanics. By repairing bicycles, they had learned how gears and pul

33、leys worked. They also learned to take careful notes about what they saw. Each time they made a new design and tested a machine, they took notes and made drawings. They would study these to figure out what they could do better the next time.Before the Wright brothers flew, they did many things to pr

34、epare for this extraordinary achievement. They read everything they could find about air, balloons, and kites. Then they made careful sketches of what they wanted to build. They began by making model kites to learn how air flowed over wings. They made them bigger and bigger until they had a glider a

35、 kite that is big enough to hold a person, but with no engine. The Wright brothers made three gliders before building their first airplane. Each time they made a glider, they would test it, make careful observations, and then improve their design. When they made a glider that flew well, they added a

36、n engine. This step was harder than it sounds, because they had to find an engine that was both light-weight and powerful. The engines that they could buy were either too heavy or too weak, so they asked their friend Charlie Taylor to help them build one. The first engine that Charlie built broke al

37、most immediately, but the second one worked well. After Orville and Wilbur installed the engine in their plane, they were almost ready. They simply had to wait for the perfect day with just the fight amount of wind. On the morning of December 17, 1903, they had their chance. And the airplane flew in

38、to history. 36. What was the speed of the first flight? A. 10 feet per second. B. 120 feet per minute. C. 12 feet per second. D. 1200 feet per hour.37. What can we learn about the Wright brothers from Paragraph 2? A. They had little formal education. B. They owned a successful business. C. They were

39、 very thorough in their work. D. They had experienced many failures.38. The brothers constructed a number of kites in order to_.A. test the materials they would use for their plane B. prove that building a flying machine was possibleC. see which shape could support the most weight D. improve the des

40、ign of their planes wings39. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The Wright brothers built all the parts of their first plane. B. Wilbur Wright flew 852 feet on December 17, 1903. C. There was no wind on the day the Wright brothers flew. D. Orville Wright went on to become a

41、professional pilot.40. In what order did the following events occur? a. The Wright brothers started reading about balloons. b. The Wright brothers ran a bicycle repair shop. c. A suitable engine was built. d. Orville successfully flew for the first time. e. Charlie Taylor was asked to help. f. Three

42、 gliders were built. A. c, f, e, b, a, d B. b, c, a, f, d, e C. b, a, f, e, c, d D. d, e, a, f, c, bDExpensive perfumes (香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris.

43、But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. Hes a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discover

44、y of a new plant gene (基因) might push whales out of the perfume business. The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris but with a catch. Theres a problem that many pe

45、ople wouldnt consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge, Bohlmann says. Its like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit. This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound
