Product: Face ID MaskInventor: Danielle Baskin User: Smart phone users Purpose: To unlock their phones with masks on Advantage: Face ID Masks show people’s covered faces on regular N95 masks. With the part of face printed on it, the ID mask helps unlock people’s phones. This reduces their chances of catching Covid-19. Also, the colours of the masks match different people’s skin colours. Customer Review: ★★★★★ Product: Purrble Inventor: Aaron Horowitz Purpose: To keep kids calm Advantage: This toy has seven sensors (传感器). It responds to touch.

But it also keeps a rich level of competitive play. However, it’s difficult for blind people to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system to help the blind play ping-pong using sound. She installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers on sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program changed that information into sound, which was played through the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know the ball’s location, and then they could return the ball fast and correctly. Peng showed her work on December 6 at the Acoustics 2023 Sydney. It was held from December 4 to December 8 at the International Convention Center Sydney. Although this system worked well, Peng said more study is needed before it can be ready for actual play.” A challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound, said Peng. “What kind of sound should be used? Should the sound be continuous? These are problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 6．What can we know about Phoebe Peng? A．She studies engineering in Australia. B．She is blind but likes playing ping-pong. C．She works with the blind in school. D．She has won many table tennis competitions. 7．How did the blind players know where the ping-pong ball was? A．By imagining the movement of the ball. B．By listening to the sound from the speakers. C．By talking to the speakers of the computer. D．By communicating with the coach in secret. 8．When did the Acoustics 2023 Sydney end? A．On December 8. B．On December 6. C．On December 5. D．On December 4. 9．Which of the following would Phoebe Peng probably agree with? A．The best sport for blind people is table tennis. B．Sound is the most important thing for blind people. C．People should invent more new sports for blind people. D．More study is needed before the new system is used in practice. 10．What does the text mainly talk about? A．A ping-pong player with excellent skills. B．A sport that is very popular all over the world. C．A system invented to help the blind play ping-pong. D．A science and technology meeting held in Australia. C In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems like everything has been greatly improved. But there is one thing unlike them. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained unchanged until now. I’m talking about a blind walking stick. The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time. However, it hasn’t really been improved, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that. He hoped his invention would help the blind. He invented a smart stick called the WeWalk. The smart stick uses built-in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warn about possible dangers. It helps blind people in navigating (导航) around their environment. It makes their travel much easier. The stick is priced at around $500. It is less than half the price of most smart phones. Most people can afford it. This invention is going to change life a lot for the blind. Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face. That’s because he is blind himself. He decided to put his knowledge of technology into inventing something. It would not only change his life, but also the life of many others. “In these days, we are talking about flying cars. But the blind have been using just a simple stick. As a blind person, when I am at the bus stop, I don’t know which bus is coming or which stores are around me. Now that kind of information can be provided by the WeWalk,” he said, “I believe life of the blind will be much easier and safer.” 11．The WeWalk was invented to ________. A．help Kursat make money B．help the blind C．change the environment D．improve everything 12．Why can Kursat understand the blind’s difficulties? A．Because he has knowledge. B．Because he invents WeWalk. C．Because he is blind, too. D．Because he faces the blind. 13．Which of the following is Kursat’s idea? A．The WeWalk can solve all the problems for the blind. B．With the WeWalk, the blind can find their way more easily. C．The blind shouldn’t take the bus. D．Flying cars are more important than the WeWalk. 14．We can know from the passage that Kursat is ________. A．rich and outgoing B．creative and caring C．smart and thankful D．healthy and lucky 15．Where may this text be taken from? A．A report about health. B．A story about cars. C．A book about teaching. D．A magazine about science. D In my opinion, the wheel is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented. It might seem strange to say that something so simple-looking and so common could be so important. 16 . Firstly, wheels influence almost every part of our lives. Wheels are used, for example, in clocks, machines and cars. If you visit just one factory, you will see how important wheels are. 17 . Secondly, wheels play a great part in food production. Wheels are used to grind (磨碎) different kinds of corn into flour (面粉). They are then used to mix flour and other foods into bread. We also need wheels to transport (运输) the wheat (小麦). 18 . Thirdly, our world would be completely different if we did not have the wheel for transport. Before the wheel was invented, people used to have to travel on foot or by riding on an animal. They didn’t know where to put their heavy bags. 19 That is what we would be doing now if we did not have the wheel. Everything would take longer to do. We would be back to the Stone Age if the clever ancient people had not invented the wheel. Our modern world would simply be impossible. 20 . 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．It took long to finish their journeys. B．You will see wheels on almost every machine. C．The wheel is surely the most important invention of all time. D．But if you consider the following points, you will probably agree with me. E．If we did not have the wheel, we would have much difficulty in food production. 三、完形填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 You are going to a party next week.

There are about 2.3 million blocks (石块). How the ancient builders 39 to build such a large structure has never been fully answered, but the effort clearly required brains and brawn (体力). If 7-ton trucks are 40 to pick up all the blocks, we need about 978. 286 trucks! 41 there were enough workers, they couldn’t carry the heavy blocks. Some people think they 42 put the woody stick under the blocks as the wheel. But it needs a lot of wood. The number of trees can’t meet the requirement. Others hold an 43 that they used the water transport (水上运输) . However, with no tool to load (装载) or unload the blocks, it seems more 44 than the first idea.
