2441．Ways to Travel Modern life is impossible without travelling.The fastest way to travel is by air.With a modern plane you can travel in one day to places which took a month or more one hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by air，but it has its advantages.You can see the country you are travelling in.Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars.They make even the longest journey enjoyable.

Many people like to travel by car.You can make your own timetable.You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day，just as you like.You can stop wherever you wish：where there is something interesting to see，at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal，or a hotel to spend the night.That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips，while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business.

Two nurses attended to the injured night and day.发布：2024/5/23 20:38:36组卷：0引用：1难度：0.72443．Standing in the shower waiting for the water to heat up could be a thing of the past，along with all the wasted water.
Three and a half years ago，Lindy Honeychurch，a thirty-year-old Australian full-time mum living on a farm outside Launceston，didn't consider herself a very good water saver.Neither did her partner who often complained about it，and with good reason.Their farm had to rely on tank water and solar power，which meant water had to be trucked in if the tank water ran out in summer.
"I looked at where I could save because I could lead an easier life without the nagging，" she said.Modeling her idea on a car thermostat（恒温器），Lindy used her kids' magnetic drawing board to design a device that diverts the cold slug of water back down the hot water.
"The first aim when I started designing was to keep it really small and simple without having to use power.I wanted to keep it as something that everyone use，" said Lindy.
She got a patent for her design and took it to some engineers to have it tested out.At first，even though the engineers were amazed that she wasn't an engineer，she said she sometimes found it hard to be taken seriously.
"My age was a real factor because in the plumbing and manufacturing industries you're dealing with people who've got a lot of experience，" she said.
But the engineers soon saw the potential of her design，which she estimated would save average families between 14，000 to 22，000 liters per year.
"When you transfer that to the dollar savings on tank water that you have to buy water，it can be a saving of ﹩600 per year， " said Lindy.
Armed with positive feedback from engineers and people using rainwater tanks，her design proved a great success.Soon she found a manufacturer early this year，and completed a state government commercial ready course to help her research，her markets and distribution channels.
With an Australian Standard for her device just approved，she's about to start manufacturing and wishes to see her products on the shelves within the next few months.Once that happens，Lindy plans to return to being a full-time mum.
（1）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．Lindy's unhappy family.
B．Lindy's comfortable farm life.
C．The background to Lindy's invention.
D．The procedure of Lindy's invention.
（2）What happened when Lindy first took her design to some engineers？
A．They did not pay much attention to it.
B．They believed it was a great invention.
C．They helped her test it out immediately.
D．They laughed at her because it was of no use at all.
（3）What does the underlined word "nagging" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Discouraging.
B．Praising.
C．Encouraging.
D．Complaining.
（4）Which of the following can be inferred from the text？
A．Lindy didn't enjoy being a full-time house-wife but liked being a working mum.
B．Lindy's products have been widely welcomed in the markets at home and abroad.
C．Lindy's design was liked by engineers and people using rainwater tanks.
D．Lindy had a lot of experience in the plumbing and manufacturing industries.发布：2024/5/23 20:38:36组卷：6引用：1难度：0.72444．To their disappointment，they found the lecture given by the professor difficult__________.（ ）
