The compass is a great gift to the world. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find directions. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel. Paper-making is one of the greatest inventions. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 B．C． ~9 A．D．), paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A．D．~220 A．D．) by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark (树皮), old cloth and so on. It is said that in the third century a Chinese man wrote about how to make gunpowder (火药). At first, it was used for making fireworks (烟花). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The way of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Printing was developed in 1041~1048 in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters (字符) on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. 21．After the _________ was invented, the oceans were open to travel. A．gunpowder B．compass C．printing D．paper-making 22．When did people in China begin to use gunpowder in wars?

D．Printing was developed in the Song Dynasty by a man named Bi Sheng. 【参考答案】21．B 22．B 23．A 24．C 25．B 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了中国古代的四大发明。分别是指南针，火药，造纸术和印刷术，对于四个伟大的发明分别介绍了其发明时间，发明人以及用途。 【详情解析】 21．细节理解题。根据“The compass is a great gift to the world… After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel.”可知指南针发明后海洋才能开放航行，选择B。 22．细节理解题。根据“It is said that in the third century… At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars.”可知火药在唐朝末期被用于战争，选择B。 23．细节理解题。根据“Printing was developed in 1041~1048 in the Song Dynasty.”可知印刷术在宋代发展起来，选择A。 24．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在语境“A man named Bi Sheng carved characters (字符) on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again.”可知，在木头和粘土上刻字，然后涂上墨水，字就会印在纸上，所以单词“carved”应是“雕刻”的意思。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据“Paper-making… It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Cai Lun.”可知纸是在东汉蔡伦进行了改进，而非发明，B项不对。选B。 C As more people move away from traditional cars, the need for electric vehicles (EVs) is going up. It’s not just cars, but buses and trucks that are turning to battery power. That’s great news for the environment. However, creating enough charging stations (充电站) for all these new EVs is challenging for many countries. To solve this problem, Detroit, America’s Motor City, came up with a new idea that could help. In the heart of the city, there is a mile of road that can wirelessly (无线地) charge EVs. This means no need for plugging in. While the EVs are running on the road, they can get charged up. Oren Ezer helped start Electreon, the business behind this idea. He said, “There are endless possibilities of building such roads and cities. We are changing the future of transportation.” It’s not just in the Motor City in the US. Electreon is already working on projects in Sweden, Italy, Germany and Israel, too. The technology works like wireless charging for mobile phones. Coils (线圈) are placed under the surface of the road. EVs are fitted with special receivers. When the EVs drive over the coils, their batteries get charged. Besides encouraging more people to use EVs, this technology could help make EVs with smaller batteries. Batteries are the most expensive part of an EV, especially for trucks needing to take long trips. But if an EV can charge on the move, a smaller battery might be enough. Right now, the road in Detroit is just a test. But if it works well, we might see more of these roads in the future. And with cars becoming smarter, maybe one day we’ll all be traveling in cars that can drive and charge themselves. 26．What challenge do many countries face with the increasing use of EVs? A．Making enough batteries. B．Producing enough electricity. C．Building enough roads with coils. D．Creating enough charging stations. 27．What does the underlined part “plugging in” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Creating new stations. B．Connecting the power. C．Starting the engine. D．Changing the direction. 28．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How wireless charging for EVs works. B．What makes wireless charging for EVs popular. C．What the future of wireless charging for EVs will be like. D．How wireless charging for EVs will be good for the environment. 29．What change will the wireless charging technology bring? A．The rise in car prices. B．The need for more self-driving cars. C．The ability to drive at higher speeds. D．The possibility of using smaller batteries. 30．How does the writer feel about the wireless charging technology? A．Sorry. B．Hopeful. C．Worried. D．Surprised. 【参考答案】26．D 27．B 28．A 29．D 30．B 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍随着电动汽车需求增长，许多国家面临建设足够充电站的挑战。为了解决这个问题，美国底特律提出新思路，即建立一条充电公路，但电动汽车在上面行驶时，它们可以充电。 【详情解析】 26．细节理解题。根据“However, creating enough charging stations (充电站) for all these new EVs is challenging for many countries.”可知，为所有这些新型电动汽车建立足够的充电站对许多国家来说都是一个挑战。故选D。 27．词句猜测题。根据“In the heart of the city, there is a mile of road that can wirelessly (无线地) charge EVs. This means no need for plugging in. While the EVs are running on the road, they can get charged up.”可知，在市中心，有一英里长的道路可以为电动汽车无线充电。而本来电动汽车充电需要插上电源，这里无线充电就不需要进行这个插电连接电源的操作了，所以plugging in意思是connecting the power“连接电源”。故选B。 28．主旨大意题。通读第四段和“The technology works like wireless charging for mobile phones...”可知，本文在说明电动汽车无线充电是如何运作的。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据“Besides encouraging more people to use EVs, this technology could help make EVs with smaller batteries”可知，无线充电技术带来的变化是有可能使用更小的电池。故选D。 30．观点态度题。根据“And with cars becoming smarter, maybe one day we’ll all be traveling in cars that can drive and charge themselves.”可推测出，作者对无线充电技术抱着一种期待、充满希望的态度。故选B。 D In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, usually food is eaten with chopsticks. Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo in the same shape, size and material. 31 Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might be made of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also join hard woods and metal to create special designs. As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily, ten pairs of chopsticks hold each other tightly.” 32 However, ten pairs of chopsticks can produce strength. All the Chinese people consider them as the symbol of unity (团结) and power. 33 People probably cooked their food in large pots, using twigs to remove it. Over time, as the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. 34 Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which gradually turned into chopsticks. Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius (孔子) who lived from 551 to 479 BCE, influenced the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and were too violent for use at the table. 35 In India, for example, most people traditionally eat with their hands. A．They can also be made out of plastic, animal bone or metal. B．The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. C．Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. D．Many Chinese people like to use them. E．So it would cook more quickly. F．Indeed, a chopstick is useless and easy to break. 【参考答案】31．A 32．F 33．B 34．E 35．C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了筷子的制作方法以及筷子在中国的使用情况。 【详情解析】 31．根据上文“Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo in the same shape, size and material”可知，此处是描述筷子的制作材料。选项A“筷子也可以由塑料、动物骨头或金属制成。”符合语境。故选A。 32．根据上文“A chopstick can be broken easily, ten pairs of chopsticks hold each other tightly.”可知，此处是描述和谚语“一根筷子容易折断，十根筷子紧紧抱成一团。”相关的内容。选项F“的确，一根筷子是无用的并且容易折断。”符合语境。故F。 33．根据下文“Over time…turned into chopsticks”可知，此处是描述筷子的由来和发展。选项B“中国人使用筷子已有五千年的历史。”符合语境。故选B。 34．根据上文“Over time, as the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces.”可知，此处是描述切碎食物进行烹饪的理由。选项E“所以它会更快煮熟。”符合语境。故选E。 35．根据下文“In India, for example, most people traditionally eat with their hands.”可知，此处是描述并不是所有亚洲人都使用筷子。选项C“亚洲并非所有地方都使用筷子。”符合语境。故选C。 三、选词填空（10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、正确、连贯，每个单词限用一次。 and, exact, be, about, we, help, computer, discuss, invention, connect Class One was having a meeting.

The polygraph (测谎机) is also an interesting invention. It was 11 by John Augustus Larson based on some experts’ (专家) ideas. The machine was used to measure (测量) people’s breathing and blood pressure 12 they were asked questions. Experts 13 that sudden changes in these measurements showed that someone was lying (说谎). But the invention couldn’t always 14 if people were lying. However it is still used by some policemen now because many people believe it works. They will probably tell the 15 for fear of the machine. 1．A．widely B．quickly C．deeply D．easily 2．A．discussion B．opinion C．influence D．study 3．A．reach B．miss C．worry D．tell 4．A．with B．for C．from D．in 5．A．lifting B．fixing C．moving D．sitting 6．A．soft B．fresh C．sweet D．wet 7．A．controlled B．increased C．collected D．discovered 8．A．less B．more C．fewer D．higher 9．A．similar B．strange C．correct D．necessary 10．A．dream B．trust C．help D．break 11．A．invented B．taught C．broken D．trained 12．A．since B．though C．while D．unless 13．A．doubted B．believed C．promised D．decided 14．A．take out B．give out C．put out D．find out 15．A．truth B．chance C．luck D．news 二、阅读理解（40分） A Can you imagine gloves could talk? Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? We have picked out three interesting inventions to share with you. Talking Gloves Four foreign students have created a pair of gloves, which helps people to communicate with those who have hearing and speaking problems. There are sensors (传感器) on the gloves. They recognize (辨认出) sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words. So people can understand sign language easily. Google Glasses Google Glasses are like a computer built into a pair of glasses. Then the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by moving the eyeballs. Wingsuits The suit realizes your dream of flying like a bird. Well, not exactly flying, but gliding (滑翔) through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float (漂浮) in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds. 16．What do “Talking Gloves” help people to understand? A．The text on the smartphone. B．Written words. C．Sign language. D．Spoken words. 17．How can users of “Google Glasses” surf the Internet? A．By moving the eyeballs. B．By lifting a finger. C．By tapping the keyboard. D．By speaking to the glasses. 18．What can fliers do if they wear wingsuits? A．They can take and share photos. B．They can translate sign language. C．They can glide through the air. D．They can check maps. 19．If you enjoy outdoor activities, you are most likely to choose ________ . A．Talking gloves B．Google Glasses C．Not one of the three D．Wingsuits 20．Why were these inventions created? A．Make money. B．Make food. C．Make people sad. D．Make life easier. B There are four great inventions from ancient China. The compass is a great gift to the world. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find directions. After it was invented, the oceans were open to travel. Paper-making is one of the greatest inventions. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 B．C． ~9 A．D．), paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 A．D．~220 A．D．) by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark (树皮), old cloth and so on. It is said that in the third century a Chinese man wrote about how to make gunpowder (火药). At first, it was used for making fireworks (烟花). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The way of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Printing was developed in 1041~1048 in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters (字符) on pieces of clay and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. 21．After the _________ was invented, the oceans were open to travel. A．gunpowder B．compass C．printing D．paper-making 22．When did people in China begin to use gunpowder in wars? A．At the end of Song Dynasty B．At the end of the Tang Dynasty C．At the start of the Tang Dynasty, D．At the start of Song Dynasty 23．Printing was developed in _________. A．the Song Dynasty B．the Tang Dynasty C．the Han Dynasty D．the Yuan Dynasty 24．The underlined word “carved” in this passage means “_________”. A．切开 B．打印 C．雕刻 D．复制 25．Which of the following sentences is NOT right? A．Before the compass was invented, sailors had to depend on the stars to find directions. B．Paper was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Cai Lun. C．After the characters were printed on paper, people can use the pieces of clay or wood again. D．Printing was developed in the Song Dynasty by a man named Bi Sheng. C As more people move away from traditional cars, the need for electric vehicles (EVs) is going up. It’s not just cars, but buses and trucks that are turning to battery power. That’s great news for the environment. However, creating enough charging stations (充电站) for all these new EVs is challenging for many countries. To solve this problem, Detroit, America’s Motor City, came up with a new idea that could help. In the heart of the city, there is a mile of road that can wirelessly (无线地) charge EVs. This means no need for plugging in. While the EVs are running on the road, they can get charged up. Oren Ezer helped start Electreon, the business behind this idea. He said, “There are endless possibilities of building such roads and cities. We are changing the future of transportation.” It’s not just in the Motor City in the US. Electreon is already working on projects in Sweden, Italy, Germany and Israel, too. The technology works like wireless charging for mobile phones. Coils (线圈) are placed under the surface of the road. EVs are fitted with special receivers. When the EVs drive over the coils, their batteries get charged. Besides encouraging more people to use EVs, this technology could help make EVs with smaller batteries. Batteries are the most expensive part of an EV, especially for trucks needing to take long trips. But if an EV can charge on the move, a smaller battery might be enough. Right now, the road in Detroit is just a test. But if it works well, we might see more of these roads in the future. And with cars becoming smarter, maybe one day we’ll all be traveling in cars that can drive and charge themselves. 26．What challenge do many countries face with the increasing use of EVs? A．Making enough batteries. B．Producing enough electricity. C．Building enough roads with coils. D．Creating enough charging stations. 27．What does the underlined part “plugging in” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Creating new stations. B．Connecting the power. C．Starting the engine. D．Changing the direction. 28．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How wireless charging for EVs works. B．What makes wireless charging for EVs popular. C．What the future of wireless charging for EVs will be like. D．How wireless charging for EVs will be good for the environment. 29．What change will the wireless charging technology bring? A．The rise in car prices. B．The need for more self-driving cars. C．The ability to drive at higher speeds. D．The possibility of using smaller batteries. 30．How does the writer feel about the wireless charging technology? A．Sorry. B．Hopeful. C．Worried. D．Surprised. B In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, usually food is eaten with chopsticks. Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo in the same shape, size and material. 31 Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might be made of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also join hard woods and metal to create special designs. As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily, ten pairs of chopsticks hold each other tightly.” 32 However, ten pairs of chopsticks can produce strength. All the Chinese people consider them as the symbol of unity (团结) and power. 33 People probably cooked their food in large pots, using twigs to remove it. Over time, as the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. 34 Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which gradually turned into chopsticks. Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius (孔子) who lived from 551 to 479 BCE, influenced the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and were too violent for use at the table. 35 In India, for example, most people traditionally eat with their hands. A．They can also be made out of plastic, animal bone or metal. B．The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. C．Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. D．Many Chinese people like to use them. E．So it would cook more quickly. F．Indeed, a chopstick is useless and easy to break. 三、选词填空（10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、正确、连贯，每个单词限用一次。 and, exact, be, about, we, help, computer, discuss, invention, connect Class One was having a meeting. The students were having a 36 in the classroom. What were they talking 37 ? The topic was the best 38 in our daily life. Tom thought the clock was the most useful. It could tell the time 39 . Without clock, we didn’t know when to leave for school. Maria showed us a crayon on the desk. It could be used to draw beautiful pictures. So it 40 helpful. Peter preferred computers. He said that the world was 41 together by computers. We could get the information far away in a minute. There were also tiny computers inside the patients’ bodies. These 42 were used for treating illnesses. Lily thought that the robots were important. The robots 43 people finish different tasks in the factories. It’s no doubt that all of these above changed our habits, 44 they make us work and live more comfortably. Perhaps in the future we can invent something for 45 . I’m sure we have the ability to be a real inventor. 四、任务型阅读（10分） 根据短文内容, 完成下面小题。 The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes. They can guide you home no matter where you are in the world. He thought about the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click (点击) her shoes together to go home. Then he decided to make a pair of shoes that can take people home with a click of heels. The shoes can point the way with QPS and clever LEDs (发光二极管) . Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoe-maker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes. One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe. It communicates wirelessly (无线方式) with the right shoe and provides data for the LED lights. The LEDs on the left toe guide the wearer in the right direction while those on the right toe show how much of the journey still remains. It may be an art project. There’s only one pair, but it’s not hard to imagine a similar, more everyday pair of shoes for children, old people or those who always lose their ways in the future. At present, the “No Place Like Home” shoes are on show (展览) in London. 46．What has Dominic Wilcox created? 47．What can the shoes use to point the way? 48．How many pairs of “No Place Like Home” shoes are created now?   49．Where are the “No Place Like Home” shoes on show? 50．Do you like the “No Place Like Home” shoes? Why? 五、书面表达（15分） 发明改变世界。请你根据表格，以“A useful invention”为题，写一篇短文介绍手机的发明时间、发明者及手机的用途，并就作为青少年，你们应该如何合理地使用手机，使它真正成为最有用的发明之一谈谈自己的看法。 Invention Mobile Phone Inventor American, Martin Cooper Time 1973 Uses（用途） 1. 与他人交流更方便 2. 代替相机拍照 3上网（surf the Internet） Your opinions A．青少年应该被允许使用手机 B．青少年应该不被允许使用手机（选择观点A或B，并给出至少两点理由） 要求：短文须包含以上内容，可以适当发挥，以使行文连贯，词数80～100。 A useful invention The mobile phone is one of the most useful inventions. _________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
