Twentieth Century Inventions ●●●1903-The first flight succeeded.                                                In 1900, Wilbur Wright said flight was possible for man. After much work he and his brother Orville Wright made this dream come true.        On December 17, 1903, the brothers made the first successful airplane flight on a windy beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The brothers’ plane flew 120 feet. Although the flight lasted only 12 seconds, it moved the course of history in a new direction.  ●●●1935-Nylon was invented.                                                    In 1928, a new chemical lab was opened to make a kind of man-made materials. Wallace Carothers took part in the team when he was 32 years old.        In 1934, he made fibers (纤维), but the fibers were quite weak. He didn’t give up. After many experiments, he produced the long and strong fibers in 1935. They named the fibers "nylon". Carothers was very satisfied with his work.        Nylon hit the markets in 1939, and quickly became a replacement of silk. But it was a pity that he didn’t see the wide use of his invention. He died in April, 1937. ●●●1968-The computer mouse was first shown in public.                                                      As a graduate student, Douglas Engelbart began to imagine ways in which all sorts of information could be on screens.           In 1964, Douglas Engelbart made the first computermouse. The computer mouse had a wooden shell with two metal wheels.           In 1968, the first computer mouse appeared in public. It was named "mouse" because a tail came out at the end. In later years, the computer mouse became more and more important.           Douglas Engelbart changed the way that computers worked.           Now computer mice are becoming increasingly useful. And there are many different shapes of computer mice in the world.

据专家权威分析，试题“任务型阅读 Twentieth Century Inventions●●●1903-The first fli..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
