People had known about steam power :for hundreds of years. But they did not know how to apply it to machines. About 300 years ago, some engineers discovered that they couldn’t use steam power to force water out of deep mines. This helped miners dig deeper than ever. But little more was done with steam power until one man, James Watt, discovered to make steam turn a wheel.
When he was a boy, James Watt's parents had scolded(责骂 ) him for playing with mechanical things. There were few advanced machines then And almost nobody could make a living by fixing them. So Wart's parents thought that playing around with machines was a waste of time. But someone asked Watt to repair a steam coal-mine pump. Watt fixed the pump and he began to build models of other pumps.
Once Watt had built his first steam engines, steam power was used to do many things. Machines were built that could weave(编织), grind(磨) flour, drive a boat or a train, and even make other machines.
Nearly anything that needed pushing or turning could be powered by steam. Within 50 years of Watt's invention, steam engines were producing and transporting things in ways that were impossible by hand, wind, or water power.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education．Nevertheless(虽然如此)，it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to sch001．The difference between schooling and education implied(暗指，含有)by this mark is important．
Education is nine more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling．Education knows no limits．It can take place anywhere，whether in the shower or on the job，whether in a kitchen or on a tractor．It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning．The agent of education can vary from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio from a child to a famous scientist．Whereas schooling has a certain predictability(可预料性)，education quite often produces surprises．A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions．People receive education from infancy(婴幼儿)on．Education， then，is a very broad，inclusive term．It is a lifelong process，a process that starts long before the start of school，and one that should he a necessary part of one’s entire life．
Schooling，on the other hand，is specific，formalized process，whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next．3Nroughout a country，children arrive at school at about the single time，take the assigned(指定的)seats，are taught by Ekrt adult，use similar textbooks，do homework，take exits，and so on．The pieces of reality that are to be learned，whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government，have been limited by the subjects being taught．For example，high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with．There are clear and undutiful conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling．
44．The passage is organized by ．
A．giving examples of different schools
B．telling a story about excellent teachers

D．telling the difference between the meanings of two related words
45． Which of the following statements does the passage support?
A．Education systems need to be changed as soon as possible．
B．Without formal education，people won’t be able to read mad write．
C．Going to school is only part of how people become educated．
D．Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day．-
46．What does the writer mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school ”in Paragraph 1 ?
A．All of life is an education．
B．Learning takes place everywhere．
C．Education is totally destroyed by schooling．
D．Schooling prevents people from discovering new things．
47．What is the main idea of this passage?

The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things：the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture．Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce(not widely seen)。“In Europe，”said Thomas Jefferson，“the object(purpose)is to make the most of their land，labor being more than enough．”It was in the United States．There-fore，that the great adventures in nineteenth—century agriculture machinery first came.
At the opening of the century，with the exception of a crude plow(铸铁犁)，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs；by 1860，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form．The most important of the easy inventions was the iron Dlow．As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a eastern plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention．The farmers，however，were not interested in it，claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and the weeds grew．Nevertheless，many people devoted their attention to the plow，until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana，turned out the first chilled—steel plow．
48. What is the main topic of this passage?
A．rule need for all agriculture advances to help feed a growing population．
B．rule development of saver machinery demanded by the labor movement．
C．Machinery that contributed to the agriculture revolution．
D．New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution．
49．The underlined word “ naturally ”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ．
A. unsurprisingly B．gradually C．quickly D．safely
50．Which of the following Call be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said in the first paragraph?
A．Europe was changing more quickly than the United States．
B．Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States did．
C．The United States was finally miring out of good farmland。
D．There was a shortage of workers on United States farms．
51．Why did the farmers reject Newbold’s plow?
A．Their horses were frightened by it． B．They preferred lighter tools．
C．It was too expensive． D. They thought it would destroy the land．

Hemophilia(血友病)results when a gene(基因)fails to produce the protein(蛋白质)needed for the blood to clot(凝块)，or change from a liquid to a solid。The faulty gene is passed 0n from parents to children. people with hemophilia suffer uncontrolled bleeding．This c&n result in pain，tissue swelling (肿)and permanent(永久的)damage to joints and muscles．
One in every ten-thousand males has the most common kind of hemophilia. It is extremely rare for females to have it. Patients can be treated with the missing clotting substance. They generally can lead normal lives.
Scientists say gene treatment may be a possible way to cure hemophilia in the future. Researchers consider hemophilia the best disease for gene treatment because it is caused by a single faulty gene. Also, only a small increase in the missing clotting substance could provide good results. They tested gene treat-
ment in six patients with severe hemophilia.
First, they removed skin cells from the patients' arms. The researchers grew the cells in the laboratory. They added copies of the needed gene taken from healthy people. Then they created hundreds of millions of genetically changed cells. They placed these cells into the patients' stomachs.
After four months, the amount of blood clotting substance in the blood increased in four of the six patients. Some of the patients reported a decrease in bleeding problems. However, ten months later, the clotting substance was no longer in the patients' blood. It is not clear if the implanted cells died or the added genes stopped working.
The researchers say the study showed that gene treatment is safe for people with the most common kind of hemophilia. But others expressed concern about the treatment because the effects were only temporary.
52.Which statement is NOT true about hemophilia.7
A. It causes uncontrolled bleeding.
B. It is caused by a faulty gene and is passed on from parents.
C. It doesn't succeed in making protein needed for blood to form into clots.
D. People with hemophilia don't have any physical damage and can lead normal lives.
53.People with hemophilia can live normally when
A. they are treated with the missing clotting substance
B. they accept the scientists' help
C. they place some genetically changed ceils into their stomachs
D. good copies of gene are placed in their bodies
54.By carrying out the experiment, scientists conclude that
A. people with hemophilia can recover completely with gene treatment
B. gene treatment is a safe and possible way to treat hemophilia
C. the effects of treatments are excellent and last long
D. hemophilia is a common disease and can be cured easily
55.It is for female to suffer hemophilia.
A. common B. usual C. uncommon D. impossible
