高一英语阅读理解训练三十七
A
When it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned
several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.
Alcohol (酒)
Shocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China
had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and
Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research
says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.
Tea
China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor
around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang
and Song Dynasties.
The Mechanical Clock
Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock
really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first
mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the
Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.
Silk Fabric
Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all
know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the
silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province
and dates back to 3630 BC.
