People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones. Some people enjoy thinking back the firsts that are bad.

One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. The crash happened in New York City. The year was 1896. A man was visiting the city in his new car. At that time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to（习惯于）the new sets of wheels（车轮）on the road.

In the accident, no one is sure who was at fault（过错）. In any case, the bike and the ear collided. The man on the bike was hurt. The driver of the ear had to stay in jail（监狱）and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.

Three years later, another traffic accident first happened. Again in New York City, Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.

  45. What does the text try to tell us?

A. Two of the first car accidents.                    B. Accidents in America.

C. The first bicycle accident.                           D. The first bicycle with wheels.

Text 5

At the picnic, you drank lots of milk and had good fun with your friends. But in two hours your stomach（胃）started to feel full. Then you had a lot of gas（气）！Before long, you were running to the toilet and you couldn’t wait!

Do you have the same problem every time you drink milk? Maybe you have a lactose intolerance（乳糖吸收不良）. People with this problem have trouble taking in lactose, a kind of sugar, in milk.

Usually your body makes an enzyme（酶）to break lactose down into simple sugars. This makes it easy for the body to take in the sugars and turn them into energy（能量）. People who have a lactose intolerance do not make enough of this enzyme. So, after they drink milk, the lactose stays in their body. It can cause gas, a feeling of full and you have to go to the toilet.

If you have such a problem, try to eat less milk foods. Or, take some medicine with the enzyme to help you take in the lactose.

Keep on enjoying your meals, but choose your foods and drinks correctly so you’ll feel good before and after you eat!

  49. People with stomach trouble after drinking milk may __________.

A. make enough enzyme                                 B. start to feel full

C. have a lactose intolerance                           D. break lactose down

A. How we can take good care of ourselves.

B. What kind of food we should take every day.

C. Why milk is a problem for our body sometimes.

D. When we should drink milk and enjoy our meals.

  51. What suggestion（建议）does the text give to those who have stomach trouble?

A. Eat less milk foods.                      B. Stop making enzyme.

C. Run to the toilet.                                 D. Take in sugars.

  52. From the text, we can conclude（得出结论）though milk is good to drink, __________.

A. it has some problems at the picnic

B. it may bring us some trouble

C. it can’t help us to be healthy

Text 6

For many thousands of years, people hunted（打猎）for horses to eat. Then, about 6,000 years ago, people discovered horses were more useful. This discovery changed human history. People were able to travel faster and farther with horses. They also taught other people how to use horses.

About 3,500 years ago, people in Mesopotamia began to use horses to help them win wars against their enemies（敌人）. They drove chariots（马车）, pulled by two or more horses. It was impossible for an enemy on foot to beat a soldier in a chariot. As a result, armies（军队）with horses and chariots were very strong. About 100 years later, men learned to ride on horses. These armies became even stronger.

For many centuries, until railroads were built, people everywhere lived on horses to work and travel. In fact, horses worked to help build the roads and railroads we use today. Horses were necessary to people for a very long time.

  53. How did people discover that horses were more useful about 6,000 years ago?

A. Horses could work for them.        B. Horse meat was delicious.

C. Horses could be hunted.                     D. Horses were stronger.

  54. When did the armies become even stronger?

A. Until railroads were built by people.

B. As soon as wars began in Mesopotamia.

C. After men learned to ride on horses.

D. Before people traveled faster with horses.

  55. In fact, horses can help people do many things except __________.

A. working on a farm                        B. beating the enemies

C. traveling and working                          D. teaching how to pull chariots
