No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure of the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.
31.Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel?
A.To pull down the palace.
B.To fight against the king.
C.To search for the king's treasure.
D.To find out the length of the kite string.
32.What does the underlined word“determine”in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese?
A.测定 B.选择 C.了解 D.考察
33.One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is .
A.to give thanks for a good harvest in summer

32.A 词义猜测题。由上文的“He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure...”可知韩信把风筝放过宫殿的城墙,目的是确定风筝线的长度。用这种方法,他也就测定了隧道应该有多长,由此可知本题选择A。
33.C 细节理解题。由原文第二段中“Today in Japan...such as the beginning of a new year.”可知本题选择C。
34.B 细节理解题。由原文第三段中“From 1898 until 1933...to collect weather data.”可知美国气象局从1898年到1933年用箱形风筝收集天气数据,故本题选择B。
35.A 主旨大意题。由本文各段按时间顺序描述风筝在中国、日本、美国的出现、发展、作用等可知本文在讲述风筝的历史,故本题选择A。

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place?For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors?
Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.
Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.
But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.
So next time you're impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them;they've certainly come a long way.

C.Because railway companies say so.
D.Because it has the shortest wavelength.

A.Because yellow is a prettier color.
