After Man has dreamed about flying for
a long time. Michael Moshier is a dreamer. He invented the Solo Trek. The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman. Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20-30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can’t fly. Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moller has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars. NASA is working wi A. a solar powered engine B. engine-powered twin fans C. large flapping wings D. rotating blades [填空题]The old man has been dead for one year.
The old man ______one year______. [单项选择]Throughout all ages man has always carved colossal (巨大的) figures out of stone. This can be seen in the ancient ruins of Egypt, Persia and Babylon. In modern times America has also taken up the same challenge and has carved huge sculptures into her mountains.
On the East Coast of America not far from Atlanta, Georgia stands Stone Mountain, the largest mass of exposed granite (花岗石) in the world. Carved into the side of this mountain are three tremendous equestrian figures. They are sculptures of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall Jackson." It is a memorial to the Confederacy. The colossal figure of Lee alone measures 138 feet from the top of his head to the tip of his horse’s hoof. To see these stone sculptures on the side of a mountain is most impressive and inspiring. It was commissioned in 1916 and was begun by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore, but was not completed until 1969 by Walter K. Hancock. In South Dakota, a western state., is located ano A. All nations have carved colossal figures on the stone. B. Only in Egypt, Persia and Babylon people can carve colossal figures. C. There are also some great sculptures in America. D. America is a challenge to other counties. [填空题]
Possibly no other man has influenced the institutions of government in the United States as much as Thomas Jefferson. He was the author of the American Declaration of Independence, supporter of the Bill of Rights, founder of one of the two major political parties through which the people of United States govern themselves, and the third President of the United States. [单项选择]For millennia man has exploited and often destroyed the riches of the land. Now man covets the wealth of the oceans, which cover nearly three-quarters of the earth. But the scramble for minerals and oil, for new underwater empires, could heighten international tensions and set a new and wider stage for world conflict.
Even the most conservative estimates of sources in the seabed stagger the imagination. In the millions of miles of ocean that touch a hundred nations live four out of five living things on earth. In the seabed, minerals and oil have been proved to exist in great supply. The oceans are a source of pure water and food protein, of drugs and building materials; they are even possibly a living place for man himself and a key to survival for doubling population on the land. Man may yet learn to use a tiny fraction of this wealth. Unless international law soon determines how it shall be shared, that fraction alone could set off a new age of colonial war. Is A. gold urges people to make new inventions B. money is the most important thing in the world C. people have tried to exploit the sea D. people did not get much from the sea 我来回答: 提交
