Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University is a roboticist (机器人专家), a person 2 designs, builds or programs robots. When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that 3 —cars, trains, animals. Later, in high school, he built robots similar 4 small cars. Hoping to continue 5 on robots, he studied computer science in college. Some robots can move only forward, left and right, 6 snakes can twist (转动) in many directions. “Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,” Choset said. After he started working at Carnegie Mellon University, Choset and his teachers began developing 7 own snake robots. A typical snake robot 8 made up of a lot of metal containers linked together. Choset’s team made robots to perform the same movements like real snakes. The robots also moved in ways that snakes 9 don’t, such as rolling. Choset’s snake robots could crawl through the grass, 10 in a lake and even climb a tree. 1．A．and B．but C．so D．or 2．A．which B．when C．who D．where 3．A．moved B．laughed C．jumped D．slept 4．A．to B．on C．with D．in 5．A．works B．working C．work D．worked 6．A．so B．if C．and D．but 7．A．his B．their C．her D．our 8．A．am B．is C．are D．were 9．A．suddenly B．quietly C．usually D．carefully 10．A．walk B．run C．swim D．fly 二、阅读理解(本大题共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) A Nucleic Acid Test RobotsAre you afraid of nucleic acid tests (核酸检测)? This AI robot might make you a little comfortable. Pengcheng Qinggeng is the world’s first robot that can do the best. It showed up at the 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services. A company from Hangzhou made it. The robot can take cotton swabs (棉签) and find people’s nostrils (鼻孔). It is designed to lower sampling (采样) cost, reduce high-risk for medical workers, save medical resources and make the testing quicker. It’s dangerous to look at your phone while walking. But people do it all the time. South Korean engineer Paeng Min-wook decided to do something about this. He made a robotic “eyeball” which he calls “Third Eye”. People can wear it on their forehead. It can look at what’s in front of the user and make a noise to tell them if something is in their way. Stay cool with this appWhen you go out on a hot day, do you often want some shade (阴凉)? A new app helps people in Barcelona, Spain, find the shadiest route (路线). Cool Walks, a map app, show users different walking routes. People can choose the shortest route or a shady route that might take a little longer. There is even a “vampire mode (吸血鬼模式)” that avoids sunlight at all costs. Users can also use the app to find places to have a drink or be away from the sun. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11．What can Nucleic Acid Test Robots do for us? A．Introduce a robot to the medical workers.

So after he turns the heat on, he begins to cook supper for the family. All of the housework is easy for Robbie, but a hard one for its master, Helen. Robbie really saves the family a lot of work. ASIMO is a clever robot created by the Honda Motor Company. He is about 120 centimeters tall and looks like a kid in a spacesuit. Tiny computers are used to control the things ASIMO can do. He can shake hands with people, give and receive objects. He can walk and run forward or backward on two legs. Besides, he can also talk and understand many voice commands (指令). When something is in his way, he can change directions. Mr. Green is a fourth grade robot teacher. He never forgets details and he makes no mistakes. He even knows each child’s pets and hobbies. He has his lessons in an orderly way, and he never feels tired. The children like Mr. Green very much. They feel happy and relaxed in his class. When they make a mistake, they don’t feel upset. They have a lot of fun with a robot teacher. Robots are smart because they have computer brains. Some of them have explored other planets. These machines also do many jobs in factories and other places. For example, robots are used to make cars. People also use robots to do dangerous work such as exploring volcanoes (火山) or the ocean floor. Robots are also used to give directions in shopping centers and amusement parks (游乐园). Scientists keep finding more ways for robots to help us. 16．What’s Robbie? A．A cook. B．A teacher. C．A cleaner. D．A robot. 17．What do the underlined words “does it” refer to?

Whether you’re doing international business, social work, or just on holiday abroad, the ability to communicate with anyone in their own language is helpful and important. Using AI technology, two famous Japanese inventors have developed a more high-tech language translation device (设备)—a timely translator called MUAMA. The translator makes it easier for people to communicate with each other and is widely used in different areas. Learning a new language takes months, or even years of hard work and practice, while MUAMA can easily translate what you are saying into over 40 languages in quite a short time. And you just need to use only a few touches of fingers. An experienced translator is more expensive and you must pay more than once. But MUAMA requires only a single payment for widely chosen languages, which costs you much less to use. MUAMA is more convenient and simpler because of its lightweight design and small size, and it is also easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag. It works well even in noisy and crowded places because it has a perfect sound quality, which is powerful enough to be heard clearly. Besides speech translation, text translation service can be used as well. MUAMA was first created for travelers. With a MUAMA translator abroad you can ask for directions, order a meal, or just have a friendly conversation in 40 different languages! Take your next foreign trip to a whole new level you’ve never experienced before. Language problems should no longer trouble you. Moreover, it has become popular even among people in other areas. More and more international social workers and aid workers, as well as volunteers, choose MUAMA to make their work easier. After using the translator, people greatly raised the quality of work. 21．What ability does the writer think is important in the beginning? A．Making a plan for a holiday. B．Starting international business. C．Doing important social work. D．Communicating with foreigners. 22．What do we know about MUAMA according to Paragraph 3? A．It is cheap but inconvenient. B．It is lightweight but large. C．It can help to clear up noise. D．It can translate speeches and texts. 23．The invention was first created for ________. A．foreign travelers B．social workers C．exchange students D．volunteers abroad 24．Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 25．What’s the text mainly about? A．The tools for learning foreign languages. B．The skill to communicate with foreigners. C．The characteristics of a translator and its wide use. D．The methods of translating languages. D The Internet is shaping our lives. We already have online shopping services and mobile payment. However, this is just a start. The world’s leading tech companies are planning to build smarter online communities. 26 It was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang in 2018. The development of artificial intelligence(AI，人工智能) was a hot topic at the meeting. If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do, it can be called AI. The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen. There is no salesperson in the supermarket, just a tablet on a desk that says “please smile”. 27 The bigger your smile is, the more discounts(折扣) you will get. When you first enter the supermarket, the supermarket’s AI recognizes(识别) your face and your account. There is also AI that can read lips(嘴唇). 28 It recognizes your mouth’s movements and turns them into voices or text messages. This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place. Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects by lip-reading recordings from video cameras. 29 Microsoft’s chatbot Xiaoice can not only provide useful information, but also chat with people like a real friend. Xiaoice has a WeChat account. After following the account, users can start talking with her. 30 She keeps improving herself by talking with users. These technologies are being put into wider use. We may see a smarter world and better lives in the near future. 根据短文内容，从下面的选项中，选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A．She knows when to comfort you or tell jokes. B．They discussed this at the World Internet Conference(会议). C．Another type of AI focuses on understanding human emotions. D．Sougou brought its lip reading system to the conference. E．If you smile, it will give you a special discount for your goods. F．Everyone likes to use WeChat to pay for things. 三、选词填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) children    special    avoid    hard    make    way    proper    wash    they    be How can we stop the spread of disease? One of the easiest 31 is to wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can 32 many illnesses. But lots of people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children aren’t able to 33 their hands often enough or long enough. To help solve this problem, two Indian inventors created a 34 product called the SoaPen to turn handwashing into a fun activity. The SoaPen is like a pen and it is 35 out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the SoaPen and then wash it off. If they do not spend enough time washing it off, the colours will remain on the 36 hands. Issar, one of the inventors, said the SoaPen is invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and it ensures (确保) that children spend enough time washing their hands. This 37 especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands 38 . As a teacher said, “Kids need more time to wash their hands and they have to rub (摩擦) 39 than before to remove (去除) the drawing. So they are actually washing 40 hands instead of just going under water.” 四、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 You may think that complete wheels are necessary when it comes to bicycles, but one creative 41 (engineer) recent invention shows that two half wheels are just as good as one full wheel. Sergii Gordieiev is 42 engineer and Internet star. He is 43 (know) for his wonderful inventions. Of these, his latest creation is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. His 44 (usual) bike has two half rear wheels (后车轮) instead of a complete one, and they work together to do the job of a normal one. As strange as it sounds, this crazy bike shows that two half wheels, when used 45 (correct), are just as good as one full wheel. The key 46 this invention is the timing of the split (分裂的) wheels. As one of two half rear wheels is in the air, the other half wheel lands on the ground to keep everything balanced. 47 a clever idea! Gordieiev says that even if the wheel is perfect, as he tries to show 0.5+0.5=1, there’s really no good reason 48 (break) a perfectly good bicycle. From making the rear frame(后车架) of the bicycle longer to 49 (cut) a wheel in half and making sure they work together to carry out the function of a full wheel, you can’t imagine how much work he has put into the bike. The engineer adds that he hopes to excite people’s 50 (interesting) in DIY through his example and encourage them to be creative. 五、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 Building Schools with Bottles By Tracy Vonder Brink Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it! First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash! To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top. Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks. The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags. Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 51．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently? 52．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools? 53．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom? 54．How are the eco-bricks made? 55．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls? 六、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共20分) 56．人工智能（AI）的迅速崛起无疑是新世纪以来最为重要的科技事件，而我们的生活也将因为人工智能的成熟应用迎来巨大改变。假如是李华，你校将于周六上午十点使用视频会议举办一场介绍人工智能的线上讲座。你打算邀请你校英国留学生Tom一起参加。请用英语给Tom写一封邮件，邀请他参加线上讲座（online lecture），向他说明举办讲座活动的时间、目的以及讲座的内容。 提示词语：helpful, convenient, introduce, examples, apply(应用)...to..., questions 提示问题： ●What time will the online lecture start? ●Why will the school hold this activity? ●What will the speaker talk about?

Whether you’re doing international business, social work, or just on holiday abroad, the ability to communicate with anyone in their own language is helpful and important. Using AI technology, two famous Japanese inventors have developed a more high-tech language translation device (设备)—a timely translator called MUAMA. The translator makes it easier for people to communicate with each other and is widely used in different areas. Learning a new language takes months, or even years of hard work and practice, while MUAMA can easily translate what you are saying into over 40 languages in quite a short time. And you just need to use only a few touches of fingers. An experienced translator is more expensive and you must pay more than once. But MUAMA requires only a single payment for widely chosen languages, which costs you much less to use. MUAMA is more convenient and simpler because of its lightweight design and small size, and it is also easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag. It works well even in noisy and crowded places because it has a perfect sound quality, which is powerful enough to be heard clearly. Besides speech translation, text translation service can be used as well. MUAMA was first created for travelers. With a MUAMA translator abroad you can ask for directions, order a meal, or just have a friendly conversation in 40 different languages! Take your next foreign trip to a whole new level you’ve never experienced before. Language problems should no longer trouble you. Moreover, it has become popular even among people in other areas. More and more international social workers and aid workers, as well as volunteers, choose MUAMA to make their work easier. After using the translator, people greatly raised the quality of work. 21．What ability does the writer think is important in the beginning? A．Making a plan for a holiday. B．Starting international business. C．Doing important social work. D．Communicating with foreigners. 22．What do we know about MUAMA according to Paragraph 3? A．It is cheap but inconvenient.

One problem is that children aren’t able to 33 their hands often enough or long enough. To help solve this problem, two Indian inventors created a 34 product called the SoaPen to turn handwashing into a fun activity. The SoaPen is like a pen and it is 35 out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the SoaPen and then wash it off. If they do not spend enough time washing it off, the colours will remain on the 36 hands. Issar, one of the inventors, said the SoaPen is invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and it ensures (确保) that children spend enough time washing their hands. This 37 especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands 38 .

So they are actually washing 40 hands instead of just going under water.” 【答案】 31．ways 32．avoid 33．wash 34．special 35．made 36．children’s 37．is 38．properly 39．harder 40．their 【导语】本文主要介绍了SoaPen这种有特殊图样的液态洗手产品，如果孩子没有把它洗干净则会在手上留下颜色，这就让洗手变得有乐趣，同时教孩子们养成良好的洗手习惯 31．句意：最简单的方法之一就是洗手。根据“How can we stop the spread of disease?”可知，此处介绍阻止疾病传播的方法，way“方法”，one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最……之一”，故填ways。 32．句意：用肥皂和水洗手20秒可以避免许多疾病。根据“Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can…many illnesses．”及备选词可知，这种洗手方法可以避免许多疾病，avoid“避免”，can是情态动词，后接动词原形，故填avoid。 33．句意：其中一个问题是，孩子们洗手的次数不够频繁，时间不够长。根据“children aren’t able to … their hands often enough or long enough”可知，孩子们在洗手上有问题，wash“洗”，be able to do sth“能够做某事”，故填wash。 34．句意：为了解决这个问题，两位印度发明家发明了一种叫做肥皂的特殊产品，把洗手变成了一项有趣的活动。此空修饰名词product，备选词special“特殊的”符合，故填special。 35．句意：肥皂就像一支钢笔，它是由肥皂制成的。be made of“由……制成”，固定搭配，故填made。 36．句意：如果他们没有花足够的时间洗掉，这些颜色会留在孩子们的手上。根据“ The children draw on their hands with the SoaPen and then wash it off.”可知，颜色会留在孩子们的手上，此空修饰名词hands，应填名词所有格，故填children’s。 37．句意：这在课堂上尤其有用。根据This以及helpful可知，此空缺少be动词，构成系表结构，此句是一般现在时，根据This可知，be动词用is，故填is。 38．句意：老师往往没有时间确保每个孩子都正确洗手。根据“Often a teacher does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands”可知，没有时间确保每个孩子都正确洗手，此空修饰动词wash，应填副词properly，故填properly。 39．句意：孩子们需要更多的时间来洗手，他们必须比以前更用力地擦去颜色。根据“they have to rub (摩擦) … than before to remove (去除) the drawing”及备选词可知，更用力才能擦掉手上残留的颜色，根据than可知，此空应填比较级，故填harder。 40．句意：所以他们实际上是在洗手，而不是用水冲一下手。根据“they”可知，此处指洗他们的手，修饰名词hands，应填形容词性物主代词their，故填their。 四、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 You may think that complete wheels are necessary when it comes to bicycles, but one creative 41 (engineer) recent invention shows that two half wheels are just as good as one full wheel. Sergii Gordieiev is 42 engineer and Internet star. He is 43 (know) for his wonderful inventions. Of these, his latest creation is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. His 44 (usual) bike has two half rear wheels (后车轮) instead of a complete one, and they work together to do the job of a normal one. As strange as it sounds, this crazy bike shows that two half wheels, when used 45 (correct), are just as good as one full wheel. The key 46 this invention is the timing of the split (分裂的) wheels. As one of two half rear wheels is in the air, the other half wheel lands on the ground to keep everything balanced. 47 a clever idea! Gordieiev says that even if the wheel is perfect, as he tries to show 0.5+0.5=1, there’s really no good reason 48 (break) a perfectly good bicycle. From making the rear frame(后车架) of the bicycle longer to 49 (cut) a wheel in half and making sure they work together to carry out the function of a full wheel, you can’t imagine how much work he has put into the bike. The engineer adds that he hopes to excite people’s 50 (interesting) in DIY through his example and encourage them to be creative. 【答案】 41．engineer’s 42．an 43．known 44．unusual 45．correctly 46．to 47．What 48．to break 49．cutting 50．interest 【导语】本文主要讲述Sergii Gordieiev是一位富有创造力的工程师，他发明了一辆有两个半后轮的自行车，这些半轮可以一起工作以完成正常车轮的工作。Gordieiev希望通过他的发明激发人们对DIY的兴趣和创造力。 41．句意：说到自行车，你可能认为完整的轮子是必要的，但一位富有创造力的工程师最近的发明表明，两个半轮子和一个完整的轮子一样好。“engineer”和空后名词“invention”是所属关系，应用名词所有格形式engineer’s。故填engineer’s。 42．句意：Sergii Gordieiev是一名工程师和网络明星。此处泛指“一名工程师”，且“engineer”以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。 43．句意：他以他奇妙的发明而闻名。be known for“以……而著名”，固定短语。故填known。 44．句意：他不寻常的自行车有两个半后轮，而不是一个完整的后轮，它们一起工作来完成正常车轮的工作。根据“has two half rear wheels (后车轮) instead of a complete one”可知，他设计的自行车有两个半后轮而不是一个完整的后轮，这是不同寻常的自行车，应用形容词unusual“不同寻常的”修饰名词“bike”。故填unusual。 45．句意：虽然听起来很奇怪，但这辆疯狂的自行车表明，如果使用得当，两个半轮和一个全轮一样好。此处应用副词correctly“正确地”修饰动词“used”。故填correctly。 46．句意：这项发明的关键是分离轮的定时。the key to…“……的关键”，固定搭配。故填to。 47．句意：多聪明的主意啊！中心词“idea”为单数名词，应用感叹句结构“What+a/an+形容词+单数名词（+主谓）！”故填What。 48．句意：Gordieiev说，即使车轮是完美的，正如他试图展示的0.5+0.5=1一样，也没有充分的理由破坏一辆完美的自行车。此处应用动词不定式作后置定语，修饰名词“reason”。故填to break。 49．句意：从加长自行车的后车架，到将车轮切成两半，并确保它们一起工作以实现完整车轮的功能，你无法想象他在自行车上投入了多少心血。根据前面的“from making”和“and”后的making可知，此处应用动名词cutting。故填cutting。 50．句意：这位工程师补充说，他希望通过自己的例子激发人们对DIY的兴趣，鼓励他们发挥创造力。名词所有格“people’s”后接名词，interest“兴趣”，为名词。故填interest。 五、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 Building Schools with Bottles By Tracy Vonder Brink Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it! First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash! To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top. Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks. The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags. Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 51．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently? 52．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools? 53．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom? 54．How are the eco-bricks made? 55．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls? 【答案】51．The classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador are built with bottles full of trash instead of bricks or concrete blocks. 52．The bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and community helpers. 53．About 3,500 eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom. 54．The eco-bricks are made by stuffing empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. 55．Yes, the walls made of eco-bricks are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 【导语】本文主要讲的是危地马拉和萨尔瓦多的学校是用装满垃圾的瓶子烧成生态砖建造的。 51．根据第一段中“Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are．But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash!”可知，危地马拉和萨尔瓦多的教室是用装满垃圾的瓶子而不是砖块或混凝土块建造的。故填The classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador are built with bottles full of trash instead of bricks or concrete blocks. 52．根据第一段中“Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers.”可知，建造瓶子学校需要塑料瓶、垃圾和社区帮手。故填The bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and community helpers. 53．根据第二段中“Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build.”可知，建造一间教室需要大约3500块生态砖。故填About 3,500 eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom. 54．根据第三段中“To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles.”可知，将空塑料袋和薯片包装纸装入清洁的塑料瓶中，这样制成了生态砖。故填The eco-bricks are made by stuffing empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. 55．根据最后一段中“Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls．They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls.”可知，生态砖制成的墙和其他类型的墙一样坚固耐用。故填Yes, the walls made of eco-bricks are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 六、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共20分) 56．人工智能（AI）的迅速崛起无疑是新世纪以来最为重要的科技事件，而我们的生活也将因为人工智能的成熟应用迎来巨大改变。假如是李华，你校将于周六上午十点使用视频会议举办一场介绍人工智能的线上讲座。你打算邀请你校英国留学生Tom一起参加。请用英语给Tom写一封邮件，邀请他参加线上讲座（online lecture），向他说明举办讲座活动的时间、目的以及讲座的内容。 提示词语：helpful, convenient, introduce, examples, apply(应用)...to..., questions 提示问题： ●What time will the online lecture start? ●Why will the school hold this activity? ●What will the speaker talk about?

Whether you’re doing international business, social work, or just on holiday abroad, the ability to communicate with anyone in their own language is helpful and important. Using AI technology, two famous Japanese inventors have developed a more high-tech language translation device (设备)—a timely translator called MUAMA. The translator makes it easier for people to communicate with each other and is widely used in different areas. Learning a new language takes months, or even years of hard work and practice, while MUAMA can easily translate what you are saying into over 40 languages in quite a short time. And you just need to use only a few touches of fingers. An experienced translator is more expensive and you must pay more than once. But MUAMA requires only a single payment for widely chosen languages, which costs you much less to use. MUAMA is more convenient and simpler because of its lightweight design and small size, and it is also easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag. It works well even in noisy and crowded places because it has a perfect sound quality, which is powerful enough to be heard clearly.

One of the easiest 31 is to wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can 32 many illnesses. But lots of people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children aren’t able to 33 their hands often enough or long enough. To help solve this problem, two Indian inventors created a 34 product called the SoaPen to turn handwashing into a fun activity. The SoaPen is like a pen and it is 35 out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the SoaPen and then wash it off. If they do not spend enough time washing it off, the colours will remain on the 36 hands. Issar, one of the inventors, said the SoaPen is invented to teach kids good handwashing habits and it ensures (确保) that children spend enough time washing their hands. This 37 especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to ensure that each child has washed their hands 38 .

Sergii Gordieiev is 42 engineer and Internet star. He is 43 (know) for his wonderful inventions. Of these, his latest creation is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. His 44 (usual) bike has two half rear wheels (后车轮) instead of a complete one, and they work together to do the job of a normal one. As strange as it sounds, this crazy bike shows that two half wheels, when used 45 (correct), are just as good as one full wheel. The key 46 this invention is the timing of the split (分裂的) wheels. As one of two half rear wheels is in the air, the other half wheel lands on the ground to keep everything balanced. 47 a clever idea! Gordieiev says that even if the wheel is perfect, as he tries to show 0.5+0.5=1, there’s really no good reason 48 (break) a perfectly good bicycle. From making the rear frame(后车架) of the bicycle longer to 49 (cut) a wheel in half and making sure they work together to carry out the function of a full wheel, you can’t imagine how much work he has put into the bike. The engineer adds that he hopes to excite people’s 50 (interesting) in DIY through his example and encourage them to be creative. 五、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。 Building Schools with Bottles By Tracy Vonder Brink Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks? Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it! First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash! To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top. Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks. The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags. Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls. 51．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently? 52．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools? 53．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom? 54．How are the eco-bricks made? 55．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls? 六、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共20分) 56．人工智能（AI）的迅速崛起无疑是新世纪以来最为重要的科技事件，而我们的生活也将因为人工智能的成熟应用迎来巨大改变。假如是李华，你校将于周六上午十点使用视频会议举办一场介绍人工智能的线上讲座。你打算邀请你校英国留学生Tom一起参加。请用英语给Tom写一封邮件，邀请他参加线上讲座（online lecture），向他说明举办讲座活动的时间、目的以及讲座的内容。 提示词语：helpful, convenient, introduce, examples, apply(应用)...to..., questions 提示问题： ●What time will the online lecture start? ●Why will the school hold this activity? ●What will the speaker talk about?
