四、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）
本部分有两篇短文，每篇短文后有五个问题,每个问题有四个选项,选择最佳答案完成句子。错选、多选或未选均无分。
Passage 1
There have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today - the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1900s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions∶ the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people lived a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. However, this is certainly just a beginning. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
56. The first great invention was ______.
A. the wheel                       B. the camera
C. movies                          D. nylon

58. In the following inventions, ______ was an important one in the 19th century.
A. movies with sound               B. the radio
C. nylon                           D. the computer
59. The first step into space was made by the people from ______.
A. Japan                           B. Russia
C. the United States               D. China
60. The possible title for the passage might be______ .
A. Great Inventions of the 20th Century
B. How Wheels, Cameras and Computers Were Invented?
C. People’s Attitudes towards Inventions
D. Great Inventions Influence Our Way of Living
Passage 2

After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed. I was almost beginning to enjoy my test.
