In this article, we'll come to two things invented by women, Liquid Paper and Windshield Wiper.
Bette Graham was not a very good typist.Still the high school dropout worked her way to become the executive secretary for the chairman of the board of the Texas Bank and Trust.It was in the 1950s, and the electric typewriter was just introduced.Secretaries often found themselves difficult to correct errors.
One day, Graham watched workers painting a holiday display on a bank window.She noticed that when they made mistakes, they simply added another layer of paint to cover them up, and she thought she could apply that idea to her typing blunders.Graham mixed up water-based paint with dye (染料) that matched her company's paper.Then she was able to quickly correct her errors.Soon, the other secretaries were asking for the product, which Graham continued to produce in her kitchen.Graham was fired from her job for her spending too much time distributing her product, but she was able to improve her mixture, renamed the product “Liquid Paper” and received a patent in 1958.
At the dawn of the 20th century, Mary Anderson went to New York City for the first time.There were no cabs honking, nor were there thousands of cars rushing in traffic.Cars were quite rare when Anderson took that trip, but the woman from Alabama ended up inventing something that has become standard on every automobile.
During her trip, Anderson took a tram (电车) through the snow-covered city.She noticed that the driver had to stop the tram every few minutes to wipe the snow off his front window.At the time, all drivers had to do so; rain and snow were thought to be things drivers had to deal with, for they resulted in poor visibility.When she returned home, Anderson developed a squeegee (橡胶刷) attached to a handle inside the car.When the driver needed to clear the glass, he simply pulled on the handle.Anderson received a patent for her device in 1903; just 10 years later, thousands of Americans owned a car with her invention.

We reached the most dangerous part of the river.There were three rapids which had to be passed.The water was then low and the rocks numerous, threatening great danger to the boats.When the water is high, it is less difficult to pass, for the difference of level in the rapids becomes much less, and the danger of being driven on to the rocks is also greatly decreased.The great noise caused by the falling water warned us of the closeness of the rapids, though we had heard it a long way back.
At the first big fall we unloaded our boat, carrying everything on the local men's shoulders along the dangerous part of the shore; but we all returned to the boat to make our dash through the rushing water.For me it was quite a new feeling.I had full faith in the local men, especially in the expert who steered (掌舵) the boat.Drawn up to his fullest height, he looked eagerly for the best passage.This was no easy task, for not only did the steersman have to avoid the rocks which were above water, but those beneath it, which were still more dangerous, likely to turn over the boat in an instant.
At first the current (水流) seemed nothing out of the common.However, as we approached, it increased in force until it became extraordinarily strong.About 50 or 60 yards from the rapids our steersman had already made up his mind which way to take.His great object was to keep the boat going on in the current; or we would be turned over and done for!
As we approached the bigger part of the fall the paddlers redoubled their efforts and our long, light, narrow boat shot like an arrow down the fall, and in an instant was righted in the water of the pool beneath.Thank goodness!
语篇解读：本文介绍了作者作为户外运动爱好者所经历的冒险。 24．Who might be the author? A．A skillful steersman. B．An expert paddler. C．An outdoor activity lover. D．A local travel guide.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据全文，特别是第一段中的“We reached the most dangerous part of the river.”及第二段中的“For me it was quite a new feeling.”可知，作者可能是一位喜欢探险的户外运动爱好者。故选C项。
25．What made the trip much more dangerous? A．The high water. C．The big fall.
B．The narrow boat. D．The hidden rocks.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“for not only did the steersman ...but those beneath it, which were still more dangerous”可知，更危险的是水面下的岩石。故选D项。
26．What happened to the boat at last? A．It was turned over. C．It fell like an arrow.
B．It landed safe in the pool. D．It went off the course.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“our long, light, narrow boat ...was righted in the water of the pool beneath.Thank goodness”可知，他们的船最后安全落在(瀑布)下面的水潭上。故选B项。
C
Do you feel lucky? You probably don't.You may think you've got where you are today through willpower and hard work.We tend to overlook luck's role, and this seems to get worse the richer we get; surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortune to good
fortune.Many such people oppose taxation (税收) and government spending; why should others get a handout (救济品) if they don't need one? More often than not, they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with.In a recent essay from The Atlantic, Robert Frank, an economist who has studied attitudes to chance, quoted (引用) E．B.White: “Luck_is_not_something_you_can_mention_in_the_presence_of_self-made_men.”
However, if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people, we may let the rest of us off too easily.Anyone living in a highly developed economy in 2016 is already the one who benefits from luck — for example, not living in the modern-day Central African Republic, where
few people can live a long life.In fact, we are lucky to have been born human.You might have been a battery hen, or a mayfly with only one day to live.
Our blindness to such truths isn't only because we're self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are easier to call to mind.On the one hand, it's not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed — struggling through university finals, preparing for job interviews, tolerating a long-distance travel to work.On the other hand, it's rather difficult to realize you're privileged — like not being born in a war zone, or before antibiotics (抗生素), and so forth.
语篇解读：文章主要阐述了运气在人们生活中所起的作用。 27．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Self-made men don't like to be talked about. B．Successful people owe their achievements to luck. C．Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck. D．Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.
解析：选C 句意理解题。画线句直译为“在白手起家的人们面前，你不能提及幸运(这个词)”。再根据第一段中的“We tend to overlook luck's role, and this seems to get worse the richer we get”可知，很多人，特别是一些富人往往忽视运气的作用。故选C项。
28．According to the author, you are fortunate if you are not ________. A．struggling through university finals B．preparing for interviews C．tolerating a long distance travel D．living in a war zone
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“not living in the modern-day”和第三段的“it's rather difficult to realize ...not being born in a war zone”可知，生活在没有战争的地方是一
