An encyclopaedia is a useful special reference book, or a set of books. It contains valuable information on many different subjects, or it can focus deeply on one subject. For over 2,000 years, encyclopaedias have summarized human knowledge to help people learn.
The word "encyclopaedia" comes from ancient Greek words meaning "all-round education". At first, it described a complete system of learning. A German writer, Paul Scalich, was the first to use "encyclopaedia" as the actual title for a book in 1559. Before that, these books often had creative names or were simply called "dictionaries". Denis Diderot later made "encyclopaedia" more popular with his well-known French "Encyclopédie".
The meaning of "encyclopaedia" has changed greatly. Today, people usually think of a large set of books. These books often include maps, pictures, and an index to help find information. They cover many various topics, including biographies of important people, both in the past and at present. Many experts write these articles, and skilled editors carefully put them together.
However, encyclopaedias weren't always exactly like this. In the past, some were just a single book written by one person, while others were indeed huge sets. They didn't always have illustrations or information about living people. Arranging topics alphabetically or using languages other than Latin took many years to become very common.
Encyclopaedias can cover all knowledge or focus on specific broad areas, like history or science. They are important because they record what people knew at different specific times. Even old encyclopaedias are valuable because they contain writings from many great thinkers and leaders, showing how our understanding of the world has greatly grown.
(1)、What is the main purpose of an encyclopaedia?A、To replace formal education systems. B、To advertise new scientific discoveries. C、To entertain readers with creative stories. D、To summarize human knowledge for learning.(2)、How did early encyclopaedias differ from modern ones?A、They focused only on science. B、They were always written in Latin. C、They often didn't have illustrations. D、They never covered multiple subjects.(3)、What does the underlined word "index" in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A、索引 B、封皮 C、脚注 D、标题(4)、Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(①Modern features ②Definition ③Value ④Past features ⑤History)
A、②→⑤→①→④→③ B、⑤→②→④→①→③ C、②→①→⑤→③→④ D、①→⑤→②→④→③(5)、Where is the passage probably taken from?A、A fiction novel about Greek scholars. B、A museum guidebook about ancient books. C、A newspaper article on modern technology. D、An educational magazine on knowledge tools. -

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
(1)、According to the passage, we can't use the ____ to tell the time on a rainy day.A、water clock B、sun clock C、digital clock D、mechanical clock(2)、What's the meaning of the underlined word "ordinary" in the third paragraph?A、modern B、special C、rich D、common(3)、How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?A、Four. B、Five. C、Six. D、Seven.(4)、Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?(①—paragraph 1, ②—paragraph 2, …)
A、B、
C、

(5)、What does the passage mainly talk about?A、The importance of time. B、The development of timekeeping. C、The inventions of clocks. D、The history of a digital clock. -
