Alost every achine with oving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for.We do know，however，that they existed over 5，500 years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia.It is over 5，100 years old.Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't becoe popular for a while, though.This could be because anials did a perfectly good job of carrying faring tools and huans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation.While wheels need to roll on sooth surfaces, roads with sooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of deand for the.Eventually，road surfaces did becoe soother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later.There had been no iportant changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of odern road design.
In the id－1700s，a Frenchan cae up with a new design of road—a base layer (層)of large stones covered with a thin layer of saller stones.A Scotsan iproved on this design in the 1820s and a strong，lasting road surface becae a reality.At around the sae tie，etal hubs(the central part of a wheel) cae into being，followed by the pneuatic tyre(充氣輪胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of taracked roads(柏油路)．As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.
64．What ight explain why transport wheels didn't becoe popular for soe tie?
A．Few knew how to use transport wheels.

B．It iproved after big changes in vehicle design.
C．It was prooted by fast－oving vehicles.

66．How is the last paragraph ainly developed?
A．By giving exaples.
B．By aking coparisons.
C．By following tie order.
D．By aking classifications.
67．What is the passage ainly about?

C6[2013?重慶卷] D
Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S－shaped body of water covering 33 illion square iles.The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the editerranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas, which see strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been uch written about by ancient poets.
“Stor at Sea”， a short poe written around 700, is generally regarded as one of ankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is fro the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east ust thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poe suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that oves, ipressively and endlessly.It akes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling, crashing，and whistling.
It is easy to iagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in id－ocean，but where it eets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It iics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with sybiotic existences，too; uniaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，ix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub－ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities: soeties peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
68．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________．
A．a(chǎn)lways energetic
B．lacking in liveliness
C．shaped like a square
D．favored by ancient poets
69．What is the purpose of using the poe “Stor at Sea” in the passage?

70．What does the underlined word “sybiotic” ean?
A．Living together.

A．a(chǎn) beautiful and poetic place
B．a(chǎn) flesh and blood person
C．a(chǎn) wonderful world
D．a(chǎn) lovely anial
【要點(diǎn)綜述】 該文既是對(duì)地理知識(shí)的陳列，也是對(duì)文學(xué)作品的鋪陳。大西洋的壯美和靜態(tài)的內(nèi)海迥然不同，大西洋好比是一個(gè)富有生命力且有血有肉的人。
68．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解和邏輯推理題。inland seas比較平靜，而大西洋充滿生命律動(dòng)的浩瀚與同為西方文化搖籃的地中海形成鮮明的對(duì)比。
69．C 寫作方法題。該詩(shī)句大西洋的壯美：當(dāng)西風(fēng)信然而至?xí)r，大西洋的波浪開始涌動(dòng)，以雷霆萬(wàn)鈞之勢(shì)，凸顯大西洋的磅礴氣勢(shì)。
70．A 詞義推斷題。作者先把大西洋比作生命的律動(dòng)，然后又把她的其他稟賦鋪陳于后，因此該詞此處應(yīng)該指“共生共存”。
