24、There are some very good inventions which， for one reason or another， don’t become popular. These inventions should be better known， even though I think that some of them are crazy. Let’s have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.

  The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car， she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol(酒精) in their breath， the car wouldn’t start. It sounded like a great idea to me， but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated(产出) by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV， they had to pedal(踩踏板) very hard. I found another invention on the Internet which was intended (倾向于) to encourage good habits. Believe it or not， this invention was an ashtray(烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The “voice” of the ashtray was activated (启动) by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.

One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river， you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead? A friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. On the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). The idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. The problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! I think he wore those shoes twice! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport， the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own， you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.

【2】The underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means ____________.

A. check out B. blow up C. look into   D. turn over

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Popular Inventions Today.

B. Technology and Invention.

C. The History of Invention.

D. Inventions with a Difference.

25、   It is reported rhino horns are big business. Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to treat illnesses. A kilogram can be sold as much as horn $60,000.As a result, almost all rhino populations are in danger. In order to solve the serious problems, a good way to relieve pressure on the animals might be to fill the market with fakes(仿造品),so rhinos may have a chance to stay alive.

That would need the fakes to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University and his partners from Fudan University have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake horn that is very similar to the real thing.

The main material of Dr. Vollrath's fake horn is horsehair. Although horses and rhinos look different, they are closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course, but neither do rhinos. The "horns" of rhinos are not made of bones but hairs. The hairs are tied tightly together by a mixture of dead cells. Examinations under a microscope showed that hairs from horses' tails are similar to those in the horns of rhinos.

So how can a fake rhino horn be made? First, find out the right materials. Second, a proper glue should be used. Dr. Vollrath and his partners get a special kind of glue. It is naturally produced by spiders and silkworms. Third, the glued horn is put in an oven to dry. At last, after some polishing, the fake horn looks just like a real one.

DNA would certainly tell the fakes but people's eyes are not able to tell the differences. So by making fake horns, people may help save more rhinos.

【1】Rhino populations are in danger because____________.

A.they become seriously ill B.rhinos have a lot of pressure

C.fake rhino horns may fool people D.rhino horns can be sold at a good price

【2】The Chinese meaning of "relieve” in Paragraph 1 is____________.

A.缓和 B.重复 C.加剧 D.消灭

【3】The underlined word "those" in Paragraph 3 refers to_

A.tails B.horses C.hairs D.examinations

【4】There are ____________steps to make a fake rhino horn according to the passage.

A.three B.four C.five D.six

【5】The writer's opinion about the fake rhino horns is that

A.people have to make fake rhino horns to save rhinos.

B.it's expensive and difficult to make the fake rhino horns.

C.people make the fake rhino horns to make lots of money.

D.the fake rhino horns are completely the same as the real ones.
