Emperor Xin, also called King Zhou, the last king of the Shang Dynasty, already used ivory chopsticks. Common people used chopsticks made of bamboo or wood. Later, there were also metal (金属) chopsticks. More than 2,000 years ago, Mozi made the first kite. It was a wood bird. Kites were first used as a sign to ask for help in the fight. Flying kites became people’s favorite outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Heng was a scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He knew a lot about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth. In 132, he invented the seismograph to record earthquakes. The modern seismograph, however, was invented about 1,700 years later. In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the moveable type. First, Bi made clay Chinese characters (汉字). Then he fired them at a high temperature. When Bi needed to print books, he arranged (排列) the clay characters in a metal holder and then brushed them with ink (墨水). 26．What were Emperor Xin’s chopsticks made of? A．Bamboo. B．Ivory. C．Wood. D．Gold. 27．When did flying kites become people’s favorite outdoor activity? A．In the Shang Dynasty. B．In the Han Dynasty. C．In the Song Dynasty. D．In the Ming Dynasty. 28．Which is the right step of the moveable type? a. firing the clay pieces at a high heat b. brushing the clay characters with ink c. making clay Chinese characters d. arranging the clay characters in a holder A．cbad B．cadb C．dbca D．adbc 29．What do we know about the material? A．At first, the kite was made of wood. B．Emperor Xin first invented chopsticks. C．Zhang Heng knew a lot about printing. D．Bi Sheng invented the moveable type in the Shang Dynasty. 30．What’s the main theme of the material? A．Things made in China. B．Traditional art forms. C．Great Chinese scientists. D．Famous products in the world. B As you read this passage, you probably have some paper, a pen and at least one pencil in front of you. Have you ever wondered how they were first made and where they come from? The word “paper” comes from the name papyrus, a plant. The ancient Egyptians took the soft centre of this plant and added water to make a wet mixture which was then pressed together and hung up to dry. The resulting paper was strong yet flexible and was used as writing material in Greek and Roman times. However, it was the Chinese who invented what we now know as paper. The method, in use over 2,000 years ago, also involved pressing and drying we t material to form paper. Many materials were used. It was not until the 19th century that paper became easy to make and cheap to buy. The earliest pens were hollow reeds (空心芦苇) that were put into ink to produce a form of writing. By the 6th century BCE, feathers had taken the place of the reeds and continued to be used until the appearance of the metal nib (笔尖). The ballpoint pen was developed in the second half of the 20th century by the Hungarian Biro brothers. From the time of the Romans, a metal stick, made of lead (铅), was used to write on papyrus. The lead left only a light mark and was later replaced by another soft metal, called graphite (石墨). Unlike lead, graphite produced a much firmer and heavier line. The graphite sticks, however, broke very easily. So an Italian couple invented something a little like our modern pencil. 31．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．柔韧的 B．复杂的 C．舒适的 D．坚硬的 32．When did the paper become easily available? A．In the 6th century. B．In the 12th century. C．In the 19th century. D．In the 20th century. 33．Which of the following is the correct order of pens’ development? ①feathers      ②hollow reeds      ③metal nib         ④ballpoint pen A．①→②→④→③ B．②→①→③→④ C．④→②→①→③. D．②→④→①→③ 34．Why did pencil makers change the pencil sticks from lead to graphite? A．Because lead is harmful to people. B．Because lead breaks more easily. C．Because graphite makes darker lines. D．Because graphite can’t be found easily. 35．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．The benefit of the pen. B．The inventor of the pencil. C．The important inventions in China. D．The history of paper, pens and pencils. C 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Driverless cars have long appeared in science fiction movies and books, but with the development of technology, things have changed a lot. 36 The development of the driverless car actually started in the 1920s. But it wasn’t until the 1980s that the first ones were successfully created, one of which was made by Mercedes-Benz. Since then the technology has gone from strength to strength. These days Uber is the latest to show its plan of driverless cars. 37 Google and Tesla already have driverless cars on the road. But do we really need them? 38 Some would argue “yes” to both. If perfected, it could lead to much safer road conditions for all. It would be of great help to the sick and the disabled. They would also allow roads to increase their capacity (容量) between 200-400%. 39 Google’s self-driving car has had 14 small accidents. Even worse, Tesla’s has caused an accident seriously in 2015. 40 And what’s the future? Maybe you can imagine a world of flying cars taking us to work. They’re going to allow people to take long rides at 75 to 150 miles every hour where you’d get stuck in heavy traffic now. It’s really, in a not-too-far future, going to be something that is practical. Wouldn’t that be fine? A．And are they really safe? B．Driverless cars are still not perfect right now. C．They have moved from a dream to a reality recently. D．It follows Apple and Ford who have showed similar plans. E．That means they can make the roads safer. F．Perfection, though, seems to be just out of reach. 四、完成句子(每小题2分，共10分） 41．我相信只要你努力学习，你的梦想总有一天会实现。(完成译句) I believe as long as you work hard, your dream will some day. 42．这座桥是去年修建的。（完成译句） The bridge last year. 43．Mum doesn’t allow me to spend too much time watching TV.

Before papermaking technology was invented, the Chinese carved or wrote words on tortoise shells (龟甲)、animal bones (骨头), bamboo slices, wooden plates, and silk. Tortoise shells, animal bones and wooden plates were too heavy to use while silk was too expensive. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, someone used ramie (苎麻) to produce paper, which was very rough (粗糙的) and not suitable for writing. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an official named Cai Lun created a sheet of paper using mulberry (桑树) and other fibers along with fishing net, old clothes, ramie, and other waste. He steamed and cooked all those materials with water, and changed them into pulp (纸浆), then poured the pulp out carefully on a fine screen and dried it into a kind of thin paper. The paper was suitable for writing and was also very cheap so it became very popular. Therefore, Cai Lun played a great part in papermaking technology. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, papermaking technology had been gradually improved. And then bamboo and straw could also be used as the materials for making paper. Because of different materials, many kinds of paper were produced for different uses. For example, the Xuan paper made in Xuanzhou of Anhui Province belongs to the high-quality paper used for Chinese calligraphy and painting. Papermaking technology was introduced to the Korean peninsula (半岛) and Japan in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and later to Arabia and other countries. During the Tang Dynasty, paper was folded and sewn into square bags to preserve the flavor of tea, while the later Song Dynasty was the first government on Earth to bring out paper-printed money. The invention of paper provides a more convenient way for communication of information, and also plays an important role in the development of global civilization. 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 56．What was paper made from in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty? 57．Why was the paper made by Cai Lun so popular at that time? 58．When had papermaking technology been gradually improved? 59．Where was papermaking technology introduced to in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties? 60．Do you think papermaking technology is an important invention?

In my daily life, the smart phone has had a greater influence on me than any other invention. I take my smartphone wherever I go because it’s convenient. With its help, I can search for useful information at any time. I can also download and store things that I need. But the smartphone brings me some problems at the same time. Staring at screens too much is bad for my eyes. And sometimes I use my smartphone to search for solutions without thinking and exploring on my own. So, I think the smartphone is a double-sided sword and we should use it correctly and wisely. 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
