1. (2019高二上·南京期末) 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。

Welcome to the Museum of Science. The exhibition that we are about to see is<br />called Discovering Medieval Science. The Middle Ages have often been called the<br />Dark Ages. During this tour you will find out that they were not. The Middle Ages<br />were an interesting time and they were full of scientific discoveries. Many<br />inventions and machines designed during the Middle Ages are still in use today.<br />For example, the first fountain pen was made in 953. Before then, people used<br />birds feathers and ink to write with. You can see a model of this fountain pen<br />in room 11b. In the same room you will find medieval chess sets. The game of<br />chess was first played in ancient India, but the modern version of the game was<br />developed in Persia and brought to Spain in the 10th century. In rooms 12a and<br />12b we have works by the great Turkish engineer Al-Jazari. You can see models<br />of the devices he invented, including his mechanical clocks. These clocks work by<br />the use of water and weights. Now let's move to the next room, which is all about<br />medieval medicine. Welcome to the Museum of Science.
