They hoped it would provide enough electricity to light up a part
27、 of the great city.They bought several machines with them. These were called generators, which produced electricity power for lamps in Edisons building.Soon there were lights for the building. Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night. The light burned brightly and stea
28、dily and he often worked over night. People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look. Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.First, the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators. A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the cit
29、y.Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets, and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches. The wire connected each building to a generator.Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job. It took a year and a half. In September,
30、 1882, the job was finished.A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house. The big moment came at last. The inventor, taking a deep breath, pulled a switch. The electric lights flashed up.“Very good! Very good!” a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.“Sir,” said
31、 Edison, “this is only the beginning!” And Edison was right. Soon Edisons lamp were lighting up cities all over the world.56he generators they brought with them could produce as much as electricity as _ needed.A. Edisons building B. a small part of the cityC. the whole city D. the world57Trenches we
32、re dug to _.A. set up generators B. lay wiresC. built city streets D. build a power house58It took a year and a half to _.A. set up the electric system B. produce several large generatorsC. dig the deep trenches D. lay fourteen miles of wire into the trench59Edison took a deep breath before pulling
33、a switch, which showed that he was _.A. excited B. frightened C. uneasy D. light-heartedBLike cats, geckos (壁虎) always land on their feet. If they happen to fall from a wall or leaf theyve been climbing, a quick move of the tail makes sure that they land feet first.Geckos are truly built for climbin
34、g: their special feet have hairy toes fixed to a wall or other vertical (垂直的) surface in just a few thousandths of a second. This lets geckos run 15 body lengths up a vertical surface in just one second.Researchers had thought this was all the equipment geckos needed to keep their feet firmly on the
35、 wall. But it turns out thats not the case. A geckos long tail becomes necessary to stay wall-bound when its feet move on a slippery surface, and also if its feet cant keep hold.The researchers noticed that when geckos fell or jumped off a wall, they always landed stomach-side down regardless of whe
36、ther they began falling upside-down (颠倒地).To find out how they righted themselves during their falling, the researchers conducted an experiment by placing the geckos upside-down on what looks like the underside of a leaf. When they lost their foothold and fell, the geckos moved their tails so that t
37、hey were at a right angle with their bodies. They then rotated (使旋转) their tails to make their bodies rotate. As soon as they were right-side up, they stopped rotating. On average, it only took the geckos about 100 milliseconds to right themselves so that they would land on their feet.Cats use a dif
38、ferent way to land on their feet after a fall. Because their tails dont have the force as a gecko does, cats cant use them to right themselves. Instead they twist (扭曲) their bodies in mid-air.Some engineers are trying to build a robot that copies the geckos climbing and have a tail fixed on the robo
39、t for balance.60. The underlined word “this” (in Paragraph 3) refers to “_”.A. geckos hair B. geckos tail C. geckos body D. geckos toe61. According to the experiment conducted by the researchers, whats the real use of the geckos tails during their falling?A. Making the geckos rotating. B. Stopping t
40、he geckos falling.C. Stopping their falling upside-down. D. Keeping them falling slowly.62. How do cats avoid their injury during a fall?A. By keeping their balance. B. By landing their bodies upside-down.C. By using tails to right themselves. D. By twisting their bodies.63. This passage is mainly w
