第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） Ａ
Often we take for granted the many household items we use every day. It is difficult to imagine there was a time in the past when these inventions did not exist. Actually, several of the most mon inventions have been with us for quite some time. Inventions like the toothbrush, contact lenses (隐形眼镜), and credit cards came into use long ago.
The first toothbrush was introduced in China in the late 1400s, but it was only 300 years later that this simple tool came into mon use in Europe. By the nineteenth century, a variety of paste and powder cleaners were available throughout Europe as dental care became more widespread. The first tube of toothpaste hit the market in Great Britain in 1891.
There is evidence to show that the first contact lenses were actually suggested by an astronomer, Sir John Herschel, in 1827. However, Sir John Herschel was never able to create a working model of his idea. It was not until 1887 that a Swiss doctor from Zurich, Dr Eugen Frick, came up with a workable process for producing precision (精密) lenses. Dr Frick designed a new method for producing contact lenses, and the Zeiss factory in Germany began to produce contact lenses.
Credit cards have also been available for many years. They have been in use in the United States since the 1920s. At first, these cards were only used to buy gas in the quickly growing automobile service industry. Then, in the 1950s, Diners Club introduced the first general-purpose credit card. Today, credit cards such as Master Card, Visa, and American Express are monly used by travelers around the world.
While it may be true that some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in history came about by chance, the majority of inventions that simplify our lives today came about through careful research and patient study. Of course, it still holds true that even with all the forts of modern technology, inventors continue to search for ways of helping all of us get out of doing those necessary but tedious (乏味的) tasks which we still face. As the old saying goes, “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
56. From the second paragraph we can learn that _____.
A. toothbrushes came into mon use in Europe in the 17th century
