A Well-Matched CoupleBPeople 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 steampower 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.45. Steam power was not used to turn a wheel untilA. three hundred years agoB. it was applied to the mining industryC. James Watt grew into a very clever boyD. James Watt found out a way of doing so46.

When Walt was young, his parents didn't allow him to play with machines.D. Fixing machines was beyond Watt's power.48．Since the invention of James Watt’s steam engines，．A．wind power has been of no use to manB．water power has not been used any longerC．everything has been able to be powered by steamD．steam power ’has been widel y usedC40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1064 wheelchair athletes(运动员)from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship andunderstanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source(来源)of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee(委员会)to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.49. The first games for the disabled were held______after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A.40 yearsB.21 yearsC.10 yearsD.9 years50. Besides Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in______.A.New YorkB.LondonC.RomeD.Los Angeles51.This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann______.A.is an early organizer of the games for the able-bodied.B.is welcomed by the British governmentC.is an injured soldierD.is from England52.From the passage,we may know that the writer is______.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favour of holding the games for the disabledDThe 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)。
