Imagine walking into your office where the temperature is just perfect. You sit down and start your day happily. 1 . It uses technology to give a more comfortable environment to workers. 2 For example, it might make the back hurt. A company (公司) in Zhejiang called Xinoon has created UP1 to help with this problem. UP1 is a smart desk that can move up and down. 3 When it’s time for a break, it will send a message to your phone, giving you information to stop working. What’s more, this company has also invented a chair that goes with the desk. The chair is so smart as well, can change its arms and height according to your body shape. In these smart offices, you might not need paper notebooks anymore. 4 WIO, made by a company in Beijing called Hanvon Technology, is such a new kind “notebook.” It has a screen that doesn’t shine too brightly. Users write on it with an electronic pen. 5 . Do you expect to work in such a comfortable and environmentally friendly office in the future? A．It also knows how long a user sits on the chair. B．You can try e-books to keep all your work online. C．It truly feels like reading and writing on real paper. D．This is the smart office that engineers are trying to build. E．UP1 helps you sit in the right way, so you feel good when working. F．Sitting in front of a desk for too long can be harmful (有害的) for your health. 七、阅读理解。 New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), such as electric cars, are becoming more popular around the world. They use clean energy like electricity instead of gasoline (汽油), which helps reduce air pollution and slow down climate change. However, like any new technology, NEVs come with both hopes and problems. NEVs are better for the planet. Unlike traditional cars that burn gasoline, they do not make harmful gases like carbon dioxide. For example, electric cars run on batteries (电池) and produce no smoke. This makes the air cleaner, especially in busy cities where traffic is heavy. Some NEVs even use sunlight energy, which is a type of power that never runs out. However, making NEVs is not completely clean. Digging up lithium (a material used in batteries) can harm the environment. Old batteries are also difficult to recycle and might be bad for the ground if not dealt with carefully. Scientists are trying to find better ways to reuse these batteries, but this is still a problem. NEVs can help people save money in the long term. Electricity costs less than gasoline, so drivers spend less on fuel (燃料). Governments in many countries offer lower prices or free parking to encourage people to buy NEVs. On the other hand, NEVs are expensive to buy at first. A new electric car often costs 20%～50% more than a gasoline car. Even though fuel savings help in the long run, many families cannot buy a new electric car because of the high initial price. Also, fixing or replacing batteries can be very costly. NEVs are filled with smart technology, which makes them smarter than traditional cars. Many NEVs come with modern technology like self-driving systems, parking assistants and touchscreens. They can even connect to your phone, which makes driving more convenient and fun. For example, some electric cars can stop by themselves if something or someone is in front of them. These smart tools make driving safer for drivers, passengers, and people on the street. And companies are working to make batteries last longer—some cars can now drive over 500 kilometers on a single charge (充电). Yet, NEVs still face challenges. Charging an electric car takes much longer than filling a gas tank—sometimes hours! Cold weather can also reduce battery life by up to 40%. Many drivers worry about running out of power during long trips if they cannot find a charging station quickly. Although there are many challenges, progress is clear. With better technology, smarter rules, and public support, clean cars could soon replace gasoline vehicles. As one driver in California said, “My electric car saves money and protects the Earth—it's worth every penny.” ( )1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．We've found effective ways to deal with NEVs' batteries. B．NEVs produce harmful smoke because of the batteries. C．NEVs can make use of different types of energies. D．People like NEVs more than gasoline cars. ( )2. What does “initial price” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Parking price. B．Electricity bill. C．Fuel savings. D．Starting cost. ( )3. What can smart tools in NEVs do? A．They can avoid some dangers on the street. B．They can charge the cars every 500 kilometers. C．They help visitors have some fun during long trips. D．They help cars drive for a longer time in cold weather. ( )4. What's the best title for the passage? A．NEVs: The Winner of the Fuel War. B．NEVs: Saving Money and the Planet. C．NEVs: A Brighter Future with Challenges. D．NEVs: Smart Technology in Modern Cars. 八、完形填空。 Some old Chinese inventions have won wide 1. _________ around the world.
