三、阅读下列短文,从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
① The wheel is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It has changed the way we live, work, and travel. Before the wheel, people had to carry everything by hand or on their backs. But with the wheel, everything became easier and faster.
② The first wheel was invented a very long time ago, around 5,000 years ago. It was used for making pots. People found that a turning wheel made it much easier to shape the clay into different forms. Later, people put wheels on carts (马车). These vehicles could carry heavy things and move them quickly over long distances. This was a huge improvement over carrying things by hand.
③ Wheels also helped farmers a lot. They used wheels to make tools that could plow (犁) the fields. This meant they could grow more crops and feed more people. With more food, people could live together in larger groups. This led to the growth of cities.
④ Today, wheels are everywhere in our lives. They are in cars, buses, bicycles, and even small machines like clocks. Wheels help us move around quickly and easily. They help us do our work and make our lives more convenient.
⑤ The wheel is a simple invention, but it has a huge influence on human life. It helps us grow, trade, and build the world.
1. When was the first wheel invented?
A. About 500 years ago.
B. About 1,000 years ago.
C. About 3,000 years ago.
D. About 5,000 years ago.
2. What can we infer from the text?

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，需结合原文内容解答三道题目：第1题是细节查找题，需定位原文关于轮子发明时间的表述；第2题是推理判断题，需逐一分析选项并结合原文排除错误选项；第3题是文章结构题，需梳理各段落的核心内容，明确文章的逻辑结构。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：定位原文第②段第一句“The first wheel was invented a very long time ago, around 5,000 years ago.”，可知第一个轮子发明于约5000年前，对应选项D。
2. 推理判断题：逐一分析选项：A选项“only”表述绝对，原文提到轮子可用于制陶、农业工具等，并非仅用于交通，错误；B选项无中生有，原文仅说明过去人们只能手搬物品，未提及不喜欢搬运，错误；C选项符合原文，多处提到轮子让生活更便利，正确；D选项原文未提及农民发明轮子，错误，故选C。
3. 文章结构题：梳理段落内容：①段总起，点明轮子是人类伟大发明；②③段分别介绍轮子的早期用途及对农民的帮助；④段说明轮子在现代生活的应用；⑤段总结轮子的巨大影响，因此结构为①→②③④→⑤，对应选项C。
