    　　Man’s first real inventions, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel．All transportation and machines in the world depend on it．

    　　The wheel is the simplest yet but perhaps the most remarkable(值得注意的)of all inventions．Because there are no wheels in nature－no living thing was ever created with wheels．How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass(尸体)of a heavy animal through the forest on log more easily than they could carry it．However, the logs themselves weighed a lot．

    　　It must have taken a great prehistoric(史前的)thinker to imagine two thin slices(薄片)of log connected at their centers by a strong stick, this would roll along just as the logs did and axle(轴)came into being, and with them the first carts．

    (1)

    The wheel is important because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    it was man’s first real invention

    B．

    all transportation depends on it

    C．

    every machine depends on it

    D．

    both B and C

    (2)

    It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    it led to many other inventions

    B．

    man had no use for it then

    C．

    there were no wheels in nature

    D．

    all of the above

    (3)

    The wheel was probably invented by ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    a group of early hunters

    B．

    the man who made the first cart

    C．

    a great prehistoric thinker

    D．

    the first men on earth

    (4)

    This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    ground piece of stone

    B．

    heavy log

    C．

    piece of mental

    D．

    slice of log
