话题：个人情况 难度星级：☆☆
It’s natural to think about what goes into producing the food in your daily lunch bag. But have you ever stopped to consider the production techniques behind the bag itself？At the center of
it is a woman named Margaret Knight.
From her earliest years，Knight was a restless creator. In an article titled “The Evolution of the Grocery Bag”，its writer mentions a few of her childhood projects. She was “famous for her kites”，and “her sleds (雪橇) were the envy of the town’s boys”．
To support her mother，she took a job at a cotton factory when she was 12. That same years he invented a shuttle system which helped to prevent injury. At the time，she had no concept of patenting her idea. What strengthened her place in history was her working experience at the Columbia PaperBag Company. Here，instead of folding every paper bag by hand，Knight wondered if she might be able to make them cleanly and rapidly via an automated(自动化的) machine. The result was a working model of her elegant paper-folding machine. But this time，she wanted to go the extra step and secure a patent on her creation，a brave move for a woman in the 19th century，when an extremely small percentage of patents were held by women.
Not only did Knight file for a patent，she bravely defended her ownership of the bag machine idea. A man named Charles Annan said the creation was his own，arguing no woman could be able to design such a machine. Knight fought a legal battle against him and handed Annan a court room defeat by presenting her detailed hand-drawn blueprints. Finally Knight received her rightful patent in 1871.
After making the machine，she continued to invent many other things like a paper feeding machine，a skirt protector. Knight，at the age of seventy，worked twenty hours a day on her 89th invention.

解析 写作目的题。第二段第一句“From her earliest years，Knight was a restless creator.”是本段的主旨句，本段的其他内容就是为了阐述该主旨句。根据主旨句可知，Knight从小就具有创造力，那么接下来提到她儿时的一些创造就是为了证明这一点，故选B。 20．Which words can best describe Knight? A．Courageous and hard-working. B．Considerate and optimistic. C．Intelligent and generous.
D．Independent and determined. 答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“a brave move for a woman in the 19th century”和第四段中的“she bravely defended her ownership of the bag machine idea”可知，她是一个勇敢的人；根据最后一段提到的她发明了很多东西，而且在七十岁的高龄时还每天工作20个小时进行发明可知，她是一个很勤奋的人。故选A。
21．What do we know about the paper-folding machine? A．It turned to be slower but safer. B．It was co-invented by Knight and Annan. C．It proved Knight’s position as an inventor. D．It was the first machine to be patented by a woman. 答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“What strengthened her place in history was her working experience at the Columbia Paper Bag Company.”可知，在Columbia Paper Bag Company工作的经验巩固了Knight在历史上的地位，Knight在此期间发明了折纸机器，并最后获得了其专利权，故折纸机器的发明证明了Knight作为发明家在历史上的地位，故C项正确。
