Let’s look at things we wouldn’t have without space travel. • Camera phones In the 1990s NASA (美国国家航空航天局) made cameras small enough to fit on spacecraft. The technology is now used in cell phone cameras so that we can take selfies. • Sports shoes There wouldn’t be Nike Air trainers if we didn’t go to space. The shock-absorbing (减震的) materials of the shoes come from space suits. • Water cleaning system In the 1960s, NASA created a technology to clean astronauts’ drinking water. It is now widely used to clean water in swimming pools. • Wireless (无线的) headset Astronauts could easily get tangled up in wires, so NASA made wireless, hands-free headsets. Astronauts can then move while talking and listening. • Dust busters (手持吸尘器) Astronauts hoped to collect samples on the moon. A company created a tool to help them do that. The company then used this technology to make the dust buster in 1979. • Computer mouse In the past, you needed to type in codes (代码) in your computer to make it work for you.

Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, 2023, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger(充电器). GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code the class games like Tetris (城罗斯方块) in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone of speech and style based on what you ask it to do. Moreover. GPT4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test with a score in the top 10 percent of Best takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services in the future. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming new function. Language learners can improve their speaking skills by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language in the future. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．GPT-3.5 cannot understand picture. B．GPT-4 can see pictures in a funny way. C．GPT-4 can change its tone of speed and style. D．GPT-3.5 can tell if a phone is wrongly charged. 2．What does It in Paragraph 3 refer to?

Seahorses are fish, but they aren’t great swimmers. There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. They mostly live in warm, shallow (浅的) waters around the world. Seahorses are important to the ocean environment. However, many kinds of seahorses are in danger. One of them are White Seahorses. White Seahorses live near Sydney, Australia. In 2020, they became the second most endangered kind of seahorses in the world because people polluted their living places there. To help save them, the scientists have released (放生) White Seahorses for four times so far this year. In the fifth time, they put 380 White Seahorses into the sea. Luckily, about 90% of them are alive this time. It is unusually high. The scientists are hoping that there will be more and more young seahorses. One of the scientists, Brett Fenton, says, “We hope that we’ll see the animals grow over the next 12 months.” 1．What can we know about seahorses according to Paragraphs 1-2?

Passage 5（23-24七年级上·广东深圳·期末） Computer games can sometimes be very helpful to scientists! A team of scientists in Australia played Age of Empires, a war game, to study ants. They tried to find ways to help local ants live better. Argentinian ants are an invasive species (入侵物种) in Australia. When they meet with local meat ants, the two ant types fight. And usually, Argentinian ants win. This is dangerous. When local ants die and the invasive animals grow in number, the newcomers may eat a lot of plants and harm the local environment. Scientists want to help local ants win. They build two characters (角色) in the game: Knights as the meat ants that are bigger in size but smaller in number, and Swordsmen as the Argentinian ants that are smaller in size but bigger in number. When the game starts, the characters start fighting with each other just like the two kinds of ants do in real time. After a few rounds of fighting, 9 Knights lost to 50 Swordsmen on the flat ground. But the same team of Knights beat 70 Swordsmen in an uphill (上坡的) environment. It showed that the local meat ants could do better in complex (复杂的) environments. The scientists also did tests with real ants. It turned out the same. The scientists suggest that cities can add more lower plants under trees. This way, there will be more complex environment, and the meat ants may win the “wars” against invasive ants. 1．Why do scientists want the local ants to win? A．To have fewer local ants. B．To protect the local environment. C．To help local ants become more invasive. D．To stop Argentinian ants eating meat in Australia. 2．What do we know about the Knights in the game?

Recently, many people have shared their stories of hugging trees online. Although it sounds unusual, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. A study shows that the act of tree-hugging can make the oxytocin (催产素) higher. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can help your oxytocin increase. A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. I put my arms around the tree and rested my face on it. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. Hugging trees is different from hugging people or animals. It gives me a chance to really get close to the tree.

A company called Space Perspective is planning to use its new balloon called Space Neptune to take people to the edge (边缘) of space. It is expected to take common people on an out­-of­-the­-world vacation in 2024. Taking off from Kennedy Space Centre, the trip will take six hours — two hours travelling up, two hours enjoying the view and two hours travelling back. Below the hydrogen (氢气)­ filled balloon, a spaceship is large enough for eight travellers to stand and walk freely. Inside the ship are comfortable seats, free Wi­Fi and even a bar. During the six-­hour trip, the guests will be able to send photos or videos to people on the ground while enjoying food and drinks. Although the balloon won’t really fly into space, this won’t be a problem for the guests. At 20 miles above earth, they will experience 360° views of the planet earth and stars, feeling like they are in space, tickets are expensive, though — seats on board are sold for $125,000 each. Unlike rockets, Space Neptune doesn’t give out carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), which always results in hotter temperatures on the earth. The spaceship will also get its hydrogen from clean and renewable (可再生的) energy. This is why space travel with hydrogen balloons is thought to be the most environmentally friendly so far. The great news is that no special training is needed for this trip, but the bad news is, you’ll probably have to wait until 2025 because the first year’s tickets have been sold out already. So, start saving up! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By listing numbers. 2．Which picture best shows the balloon space travel? A． B． C． D． 3．What do we know about the trip? A．It will send people to space. B．It is affordable for most people. C．Guests will be seated during the trip. D．Guests will enjoy the view from above. 4．What can we learn about Space Neptune from Paragraph 4? A．It is eco­friendly. B．It makes the earth hotter. C．It is powered by rockets. D．It uses energy from the sun. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Make a Space Balloon B．A New Way to Travel to Space C．More Trained Astronauts to Space D．The Space Balloon from the Space Rocket Passage 18（24-25七年级上·深圳·期末模拟） A popular movie or TV drama has the power to make a city famous and attract (吸引) many tourists.

Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, 2023, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger(充电器). GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code the class games like Tetris (城罗斯方块) in a few minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone of speech and style based on what you ask it to do. Moreover. GPT4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test with a score in the top 10 percent of Best takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services in the future. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming new function. Language learners can improve their speaking skills by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language in the future. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．GPT-3.5 cannot understand picture.

A team of scientists in Australia played Age of Empires, a war game, to study ants. They tried to find ways to help local ants live better. Argentinian ants are an invasive species (入侵物种) in Australia. When they meet with local meat ants, the two ant types fight. And usually, Argentinian ants win. This is dangerous. When local ants die and the invasive animals grow in number, the newcomers may eat a lot of plants and harm the local environment. Scientists want to help local ants win. They build two characters (角色) in the game: Knights as the meat ants that are bigger in size but smaller in number, and Swordsmen as the Argentinian ants that are smaller in size but bigger in number. When the game starts, the characters start fighting with each other just like the two kinds of ants do in real time. After a few rounds of fighting, 9 Knights lost to 50 Swordsmen on the flat ground. But the same team of Knights beat 70 Swordsmen in an uphill (上坡的) environment. It showed that the local meat ants could do better in complex (复杂的) environments. The scientists also did tests with real ants. It turned out the same. The scientists suggest that cities can add more lower plants under trees.

Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can help your oxytocin increase. A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. I put my arms around the tree and rested my face on it. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. Hugging trees is different from hugging people or animals. It gives me a chance to really get close to the tree. I can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of the leaves. The steadiness (稳固) of the tree made me feel safe. There are many reasons why hugging trees is fun. First, it is free and easy. Second, it is a great way to connect with nature. We will enjoy nature more. Third, it can help us feel better about ourselves. Tree-hugging is helpful to us, but it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many small animals live on the tree and they are too small to be seen. You may be careful when hugging trees-just like how you hug a friend! 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By telling a joke. B．By sharing a story. C．By giving numbers.

A company called Space Perspective is planning to use its new balloon called Space Neptune to take people to the edge (边缘) of space. It is expected to take common people on an out­-of­-the­-world vacation in 2024. Taking off from Kennedy Space Centre, the trip will take six hours — two hours travelling up, two hours enjoying the view and two hours travelling back. Below the hydrogen (氢气)­ filled balloon, a spaceship is large enough for eight travellers to stand and walk freely. Inside the ship are comfortable seats, free Wi­Fi and even a bar. During the six-­hour trip, the guests will be able to send photos or videos to people on the ground while enjoying food and drinks. Although the balloon won’t really fly into space, this won’t be a problem for the guests. At 20 miles above earth, they will experience 360° views of the planet earth and stars, feeling like they are in space, tickets are expensive, though — seats on board are sold for $125,000 each. Unlike rockets, Space Neptune doesn’t give out carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), which always results in hotter temperatures on the earth. The spaceship will also get its hydrogen from clean and renewable (可再生的) energy. This is why space travel with hydrogen balloons is thought to be the most environmentally friendly so far. The great news is that no special training is needed for this trip, but the bad news is, you’ll probably have to wait until 2025 because the first year’s tickets have been sold out already. So, start saving up! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By listing numbers. 2．Which picture best shows the balloon space travel? A． B． C． D． 3．What do we know about the trip? A．It will send people to space. B．It is affordable for most people. C．Guests will be seated during the trip. D．Guests will enjoy the view from above. 4．What can we learn about Space Neptune from Paragraph 4? A．It is eco­friendly. B．It makes the earth hotter. C．It is powered by rockets. D．It uses energy from the sun. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Make a Space Balloon B．A New Way to Travel to Space C．More Trained Astronauts to Space D．The Space Balloon from the Space Rocket 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型的太空旅行方式——太空气球。 1．细节理解题。根据“You’ve heard of space rockets, but have you heard of a space balloon?”可知，文章开头作者设问“你听说过太空气球吗”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Taking off from Kennedy Space Centre, the trip will take six hours — two hours travelling up, two hours enjoying the view and two hours travelling back.”可知，从肯尼迪航天中心起飞，这次旅行将耗时六个小时——上行两个小时，欣赏美景两个小时和回程两个小时。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“At 20 miles above earth, they will experience 360° views of the planet earth and stars, feeling like they are in space, tickets are expensive,”可知客人将从上面欣赏风景。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“Unlike rockets, Space Neptune doesn’t give out carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), which always results in hotter temperatures on the earth.
