Johannes Gutenberg--the ploneer of the printing press
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(千年) by the media(媒體). You may not be familiar with him.Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass(大批量) production of books.That means that each copy of the Catholic bible(圣經(jīng)) and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men. Gutenberg fashioned a font(字體) of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold(模具) and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
The between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and a papal Letter of Indulgence. The Bible of 42 Lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.
The invention of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information, and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A. Gutenberg made the world a much richer place
B. But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways
C. Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind
D. By 1450, Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press
E. In fact, this invention contributed a lot of educating the masses(大眾) worldwide
F. Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea, books were primarily handwritten
G. It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
（B）
Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪審團(tuán)) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don't tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!” Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ”
Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.
Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”
（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B.The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.
C.The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.
D.Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.
（2）Paddy didn't cry for Frank because he thought ________.
A.Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B.Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C.what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D.Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
（3）Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?
A.“Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.”
B.“Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants.”
C.“Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.”
D.“The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.”
（4）“She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________.
A.Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B.Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C.Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank
D.Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

【題目】閱讀理解
Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks. The big animals are a real danger to people.
So, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away: vuvuzelas. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.
The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like. The animals leave, and no one is harmed. A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants. That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack. So far, no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.
Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses. They have built beehives – houses for flying insects that sting. They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil. They have dug long, deep holes. And they have used guns, called A-K47s.
An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant. But over time, the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun. They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Gessa Simblicious, says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda. And one day, elephants may accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47.
But right now, vuvuzelas are an effective, non-violent and fun way to deal with a serious problem.
（1）What's vuvuzelas?
A.New tools some fans use at sports events.
B.New tool to save the elephants.
C.Plastic instruments to keep the elephants away.
D.Plastic instruments to threaten the elephants.
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.
B.An elephants will attack human being in answer to a vuvuzela,
C.Villagers have no way to stop elephants.
D.The elephants are always afraid of the sound of the gun.
（3）People shoot the gun in the air in order to ________.
A.shoot the elephants away
B.let the elephants stop being afraid of the sound
C.avoid the elephants hurting people
D.scare the elephants to leave the village
（4）The author believes that ________.
A.elephants are not afraid of vuvuzelas
B.Vuvuzelas can not stop elephants
C.vuvuzelas can solve this serious problem forever
D.elephants are used to the sound of vuvuzelas now
