五、任务型阅读。(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按要求回答问题。
Once upon a time,people couldn't write and they had no
books.But they had stories.
The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on flat sheets
made from papyrus plants.They glued many papyrus sheets
together to make one long strip.Then they rolled the strip around a stick to make a scroll.People in other areas also used parchment.
In ancient China,books looked a little different.People
there first carved words into bones or tortoise shells.Later they used ink to write on strips of bamboo or silk.
Then the Chinese invented paper.The first paper was made
from rags,but later plant materials were used.Its surface was smoother and better for writing on than papyrus.The invention spread slowly across the world,reaching Europe in the 1100 s.
But all these early books still had one big problem.Every
single book had to be copied out by hand.If there were pictures,
each page had to be painted by hand,one at a time.This made books rare and expensive ← though also very beautiful.
The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.A man named Bi Sheng invented movable-type printing.The movable-type printing worked by carving a single Chinese character on a block of wood or clay.It could then be combined with other characters to create words,sentences,or whole pages.Once printed,these letters could then be separated and reused to create a whole new page.
In the 1400 s, Johannes Gutenberg from Germany
invented a new method of printing.It used movable type 一
metal letters that could be rearranged to form words.It also used a machine called a press.Gutenberg's invention made printing become faster and easier.
As more books became available,more people learnt to read. Once,books were a luxury and only the rich could buy.
But with the printing press,they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.
