Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized. When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents. However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success. 56. The word \"those\" in the first sentence refers to A. inventors B. inventions C. interests D. monopolies 57.Why do big monopolies buy inventions? A. They want to make a further research. B. They want to improve them. C. They want to make more money. D. They want to play tricks with inventors. 58.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson's experiment? A. It would make terrible noise. B. It would give off heavy smoke. C. It would waste coal. D. It would set fire to houses. 59. The word \"dream\" in the first paragraph refers to _____ A. inventors' interests in inventions B. inventors' plans for inventions C. the profits inventors would make D. the difficulties in their inventions. 60. What is the main idea of this paragraph? A. Stephenson invented the stream engine. B. Big monopolies opposed to inventions. C. Inventors' difficulties in their invention. D. Oppositions to Stephenson the inventor. （二） As a young girl, Elizabeth Barrett (Browning英国作家勃朗宁) ruptured a blood vessel on the lungs which did not heal. The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter and she went Devonshire for restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay. One summer morning her brother went board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, the boat struck a sunken reef; and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistant could be rendered. None of the bodies were ever found although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search. This was the tragedy which utterly prostrated for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barrett. Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly. Her whole being seemed shattered, and a year longer elapsed before, she was able to be more to London.
