Experts at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions lately served their mealsto 90 people. The first meal was served without music. One-third of the diners asked for secondhelpings and the meal took about 40 minutes to finish.Three weeks later experts served the same people the same food while playing rockmusic ,such as Stars and Stripes and The Beer Barrel Polka. This time half of the diners asked forsecond helpings and they finished eating in only 31 minutes.The final meal was served with slow, relaxing music, such as Mantovani and Percy Faith.“Not only did few diners ask for seconds but most of them didn't even finish their first helpings. Itsaysalso took them nearly an hour to finish their food, cutting it into pieces before eating it,” study leader Maria Simonsen, director of the Health, Weight and Stress Clinic at Johns Hopkins.They also reported feeling fuller and more satisfied than they did after earlier meals, even thoughthey actually ate less.

What if you had no running water to take a shower and no refrigerator to keep your food cold?Life would be hard without these great inventions.Since ancient times, people have been inventing new machines, materials, and ways of doingthings. The people who come up with new things are called inventors. Sometimes an inventormakes an invention to solve a problem. Sometimes an inventor discovers something new by accident.Everyone probably has his or her favorite inventions. One great invention was the printingpress. A German named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s invented a press that made it easy toprint books. Books became much more common after the invention of the printing press. Thebooks helped other inventors make new things.The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution (工业革命).Inventors made many new machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives (机车), steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines.Another great invention, the internal engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the late1800s. Inventors made better and better internal engines. These are the engines we use today in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, phonograph (留声机), and other things that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen tools, toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things.The ways people invent things have changed over time. No one knows the names of the earliest inventors. Until the 1900s, most inventors worked alone. Some of them became well-known for their inventions all around the world. Today, most inventions come from scientists and engineers who work in teams. The teams work in big research labs. Most of today's inventors work for universities, government agencies, or big companies.55．The invention of ______ is very important for daily transportation.A．printing B．the steam engineC．electricity D．the internal engine56．From the passage we can learn that ______.A．people can remember all the earliest inventorsB．new inventions come out faster than beforeC．the internal engine resulted in the Industrial RevolutionD．the steam engine resulted in the invention of automobiles57．All the inventions in this passage ______.A．solved some problems by accidentB．were invented by people in EuropeC．led to several other new inventionsD．were invented by people in teams58．Which will be the best title for the passage?A．Great Inventions Change Our LivesB．The Most Important InventionsC．New Inventions Become FasterD．Different Kinds of Inventions第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共44分)一、语言知识运用(2)(共10分，每小题2分)根据中文意思完成句子。
