Question

閱讀理解 　　Today rockets are very advanced machines which we can use to send astronauts into space．They are also used in firework displays to celebrate great events, such as the end of the Olympic Games or the beginning of the new millennium in the year 2000． 　　Rockets were probably invented by accident about 2000 years ago．The Chinese had a form of gunpowder which was put in bamboo tubes and thrown into fires to make explosions during festivals．Perhaps some of the tubes jumped out of the fire instead of exploding in it．The Chinese discovered that the gunpowder escaping from the tube could lift it into the air．The idea of the rocket was born． 　　The first military use of rockets was in 1232．The Song Dynasty was at war with the Mongols．During the battle of Kaifeng, the Song army shot “arrows of flying fire”．The tubes were attached to a long stick which helped keep the rocket moving in a straight direction．Soon the Mongols learned how to make rockets themselves and it is possible that they introduced them to Europe．Between the 13th and 15th century there were many rocket experiments in England, France and Italy．They were used for military purposes．One Italian scientist even invented a rocket which could travel over the surface of water and hit an enemy ship． 　　Not everybody wanted to use rockets in battles．Wan Hu, a Chinese government official, invented a flying chair．He attached two big kites to the chair, and 47 rockets to the kites．The rockets were lit, there was a huge explosion and clouds of thick smoke．When the smoke cleared Wan Hu and his chair had disappeared, no one knows what happened．Did Wan Hu die in the explosion? Or was he carried miles into space, becoming the world’s first astronaut? (1) Which of the following correctly shows how the idea of the rocket was born? a．Some of the bamboo tubes were thrown high into the air by the explosion． b．Bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder were thrown into the fires． c．The bamboo tubes exploded． d．Fires were built． e．Someone got the idea of the rocket． f．Some people were celebrating a festival． [　　] A． d→b→c→a→f→e B． d→b→a→c→f→e C． a→b→c→d→e→f D． f→d→b→c→a→e (2) What does the 3rd paragraph mainly tell us? [　　] A． How the Chinese used rockets in battles． B． How the rocket developed into a powerful weapon． C． How the Europeans developed the rocket． D． The role the rocket played in wars． (3) Which of the following is true according to the passage? [　　] A． A long stick was attached to the tubes in order to raise the speed of the rocket． B． The Europeans learned to make rockets directly from the Chinese． C． The Chinese were the first to use the rocket in a battle． D． Wan Hu’s flying chair was a great success．

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;
解析：

(2)	A、C、D項(xiàng)都帶有片面性。文中第三段介紹了火箭第一次用于戰(zhàn)爭的情形及以后傳入歐洲而被發(fā)展完善，但沒有具體說明是怎樣發(fā)展完善的。
(3)	C項(xiàng)從第三段第一句話可知。A項(xiàng)應(yīng)為“…in order to keep the rocket moving in a straight direction”；B項(xiàng)應(yīng)為“the Mongols learned how to make rockets themselves and then it is possible that they introduced them to Europe．”；D項(xiàng)可從最后一段最后三句知為錯誤選項(xiàng)。

提示：

根據(jù)第二段可判斷其順序。
