Read the following passage, eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(A-H)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. The single, decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in permanent communities was agriculture.【R1】 1Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable annual supple of it, their lives changed completely. Farming was a revolutionary discovery.【R2】 2With more food available, more people could be fed. Populations therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of more complex social structures. 【R3】 3 Farming the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall.【R4】 4Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons. All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of regional and climatic differences.【R5】 5Heavier pottery replaced animal-skin gourds as containers for food and liquids. Cloth could be woven from wool and flax. Permanent structures made of wood, brick, and stone could be erected. The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and planets to calculate seasons.【R6】 6With a calendar it was possible to calculate the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if property was to be a factor in farming and housekeeping.【R7】 7All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China emerged in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still debate over which one emerged first. It may well have been the Middle East, in an area called the Fertile Crescent. This region stretches from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia.【R8】 8This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.A. It not only made settlements possible and ultimately the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply.B. Later came measures of value as commodity and money exchange became common.C. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture.D. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in tribes or family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or herding their animals.E. As villages grew, the accumulation of more numerous and substantial goods became possible.F. With a food surplus, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.G. The first great civilizations grow up along rivers. H. In doing so they created the first calendars. 【R1】

Do not mark any letter twice. A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn't much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. 【R1】 1 The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. 【R2】 2 We are besieged by so many sounds that attract our attention. 【R3】 3 When I'm in New York, I'm a New Yorker. I don't turn either.【R4】 4I hardly hear a siren there. At home in my little town in Connecticut, it's different. 【R5】 5 It's the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest.【R6】 6I've been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime? I'm quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are. I've turned against whistling, for instance, 【R7】 7 The "tap, tap, tap" of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. 【R8】 8A. It got me thinking about sounds again.B. Like the natives.C. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I'm seated and brings me to the window if I'm in bed.D. I often like the sound when I write better than the looks of it.E. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I've been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises.F. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors.G. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street.H. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime. 【R1】

Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. When one of your car tires goes flat, there are two things you can do. Groan and change or, if you don't have a spare, stand helplessly behind the road and hope someone to your rescue. Now comes a third alternative, called Quickwheel. It is designed to get disabled motorists rolling again as quickly as possible.2. Quickwheel is essentially a tiny trailer — complete with three tough little wheels of it's own — that support the flat tire and enable the motorist to drive to the service station without losing much time or expending much energy. The product is manufactured in the Netherlands but is owned and marketed by a US company. Quickwheel inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. According to the firm's president, Robert Bockweg, the product meets each of the major concerns that consumers associate with flat tires: safety lost time and physical exertion.3. To use it, motorists simply unfold the product to its fully extended position, set it in front of the disabled tire, drive the car on to the Quickwheel's ramp and attach a special safety strap over the tire. The tire is then locked, or cradled, in Quickwheel's metal frame. The device's three wheels do the rest of work.4. According to Quckwheel Inc., its product can be driven "four miles" at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour without any noticeable change in the vehicle's breaking or steer operation. The company also claims that it can be used on just any type of car, jeep, mini-van or trailer.5. Bockweg says that Quickwheel will be sold in the US, at a price of $150. Distribution agreements now being negotiated should make the product available in Japan, Canada and West Europe in the future. For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(A~G)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice.A. The future marketing of Quickwheel.B. The advantages of the Quickwheel.C. How does Quickwheel work?D. The ways of dealing with flat tires.E. Quickwheel can get disabled motorists rolling again.F. An introduction of Quickwheel.G. Why is the Quickwheel invented?
