I don’t have enough money for them. A．spend B．cost C．take D．pay 【答案】B 【详解】句意：这双靴子很适合我，但它们花费00多元。我没有足够的钱来买它们。 考查动词辨析。spend花费，指花费时间或金钱，主语是人；cost花费，指花费金钱，主语是物；take花费，指花费时间，主语是物；pay花费，指花费金钱，主语是人。空前的主语“they”指代“This pair of boots”，指物，排除A、D选项；根据“over 00 yuan”可知，此处指花费金钱，用cost。故选B。 2．Paper is an important ________, and it greatly changes the writing materials.

His journey from a young boy in a small village to a top scientist in China is truly inspiring. Huang Xuhua was born in a small village in Guangdong Province. When he was very young, China was going through many changes. Huang was always curious about the ocean and how things worked. He loved reading books and trying small experiments. Huang was especially good at math and physics. The two subjects helped him build a strong foundation for his future career. When he grew older, he wanted to learn medicine at first under the influence of his parents who were both doctors in his hometown. However, to save China, Huang got into one of China's best universities to study Naval Architecture. His university life was not easy, but Huang never gave up. He graduated with excellent grades in the end. After graduation, Huang joined a research institute (机构) and focused on submarine design. There he faced many challenges, but he always kept strong-willed and put his shoulder to the wheel with other workmates. His efforts paid off in the end. China’s first nuclear-powered submarine was independently developed and built without any help of other countries. This project was not only a big step in technology but also the key to guarding China’s safety. Huang and his team worked day and night, even when things seemed impossible. His dream and love for our country kept him going on. Huang’s work has earned him many awards, including the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, one of China’s highest honors.

It seems like everything has been reinvented and greatly improved. However, there is one thing that is different. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained (保持) unchanged until now. It is the white cane (盲杖) used by blind people. Many blind people have used this kind of white cane for a long time. However, it has seen no real improvement, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to make a difference. Kursat is from Turkey(土耳其). He lost his eyesight at the age of 2. He well understands the difficulties and challenges that the blind face. That’s because he himself is a blind person. As a blind person, when he is at the subway station, he doesn’t know which is his exit (出口). When walking on the street, he may run into obstacles. Kursat decided to do something to help the blind. He invented a new kind of cane called the WeWalk. This smart cane is equipped (配备) with built — in speakers and different sensors (传感器). The sensors can “see” obstacles in front of it, like a wall or a car, and then the cane will vibrate (震动) to tell the user. It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. It can give the user information about the place he or she is visiting, such as the name of the store or the direction of the library. Besides, the cane can be folded, so it’s easy to carry. What’s more, the price of the WeWalk is around $500, which is relatively cheap compared with other high-tech products for the blind. This invention will bring great changes to the lives of blind people. In these days, we are talking about flying cars. But blind people are still using just a simple cane. With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life. It’s really a great invention that shows how technology can help improve people’s lives. 1．What does the word obstacles in the Paragraph 2 mean? A．机会 B．宠物 C．障碍物 D．朋友 2．What can the WeWalk do according to the passage? ① It can "see" obstacles and vibrate to tell the user. ② It can connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. ③ It can give the user information about the place. ④ It can help the blind take a plane. A．①②③④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．Why did Kursat invent the WeWalk? A．Because he wanted to make money. B．Because he wanted to be famous. C．Because he wanted to help the blind like him. D．Because he liked inventing things. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The WeWalk is very expensive. B．The WeWalk can’t be folded. C．Kursat lost his eyesight when he was born. D．The WeWalk is a great invention for the blind. 4．Which part of the newspaper can we probably read the passage in? A．Health. B．Science. C．Business. D．Travel. 【答案】 1．词义理解题。根据“when walking on the street, he may run into obstacles”的语境，结合盲人出行时可能遇到的困难，可知obstacles意为“障碍物”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段描述，WeWalk的功能包括：① 通过传感器看到障碍物并震动提醒(“The sensors can ‘see’ obstacles...and then the cane will vibrate”)② 通过蓝牙连接互联网(“It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth”)③ 提供位置信息(“give the user information about the place”)文中未提及帮助盲人乘坐飞机功能。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Kursat decided to do something to help the blind”和“He well understands the difficulties...That’s because he himself is a blind person”可知，发明WeWalk是为了帮助像他一样的盲人。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life.”可知对WeWalk对盲人有很大帮助。故选D。 5．推理判断题。本文介绍科技产品WeWalk的发明及其功能，属于科技类内容。故选B。 七、短文填空（共5分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Some parts of the world are very hot and dry, with little rain.

His journey from a young boy in a small village to a top scientist in China is truly inspiring. Huang Xuhua was born in a small village in Guangdong Province. When he was very young, China was going through many changes. Huang was always curious about the ocean and how things worked. He loved reading books and trying small experiments. Huang was especially good at math and physics. The two subjects helped him build a strong foundation for his future career. When he grew older, he wanted to learn medicine at first under the influence of his parents who were both doctors in his hometown. However, to save China, Huang got into one of China's best universities to study Naval Architecture. His university life was not easy, but Huang never gave up. He graduated with excellent grades in the end. After graduation, Huang joined a research institute (机构) and focused on submarine design. There he faced many challenges, but he always kept strong-willed and put his shoulder to the wheel with other workmates. His efforts paid off in the end. China’s first nuclear-powered submarine was independently developed and built without any help of other countries. This project was not only a big step in technology but also the key to guarding China’s safety. Huang and his team worked day and night, even when things seemed impossible. His dream and love for our country kept him going on. Huang’s work has earned him many awards, including the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, one of China’s highest honors. Although Huang achieved success, he remains humble (谦虚的). He often tells young people to stay curious, work hard, and never give up. Huang Xuhua’s story shows us how dreams and resolutions can lead to great achievements. He really sets a good example for all young people. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What was Huang Xuhua interested in when he was young? A．Medicine. B．Engineering. C．Computer science.

It seems like everything has been reinvented and greatly improved. However, there is one thing that is different. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained (保持) unchanged until now. It is the white cane (盲杖) used by blind people. Many blind people have used this kind of white cane for a long time. However, it has seen no real improvement, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to make a difference. Kursat is from Turkey(土耳其). He lost his eyesight at the age of 2. He well understands the difficulties and challenges that the blind face. That’s because he himself is a blind person. As a blind person, when he is at the subway station, he doesn’t know which is his exit (出口). When walking on the street, he may run into obstacles. Kursat decided to do something to help the blind. He invented a new kind of cane called the WeWalk. This smart cane is equipped (配备) with built — in speakers and different sensors (传感器). The sensors can “see” obstacles in front of it, like a wall or a car, and then the cane will vibrate (震动) to tell the user. It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. It can give the user information about the place he or she is visiting, such as the name of the store or the direction of the library. Besides, the cane can be folded, so it’s easy to carry. What’s more, the price of the WeWalk is around $500, which is relatively cheap compared with other high-tech products for the blind. This invention will bring great changes to the lives of blind people. In these days, we are talking about flying cars. But blind people are still using just a simple cane. With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life. It’s really a great invention that shows how technology can help improve people’s lives. 1．What does the word obstacles in the Paragraph 2 mean? A．机会 B．宠物 C．障碍物 D．朋友 2．What can the WeWalk do according to the passage? ① It can "see" obstacles and vibrate to tell the user. ② It can connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. ③ It can give the user information about the place. ④ It can help the blind take a plane. A．①②③④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 3．Why did Kursat invent the WeWalk? A．Because he wanted to make money. B．Because he wanted to be famous. C．Because he wanted to help the blind like him. D．Because he liked inventing things. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The WeWalk is very expensive. B．The WeWalk can’t be folded. C．Kursat lost his eyesight when he was born. D．The WeWalk is a great invention for the blind. 4．Which part of the newspaper can we probably read the passage in? A．Health. B．Science. C．Business. D．Travel. 七、短文填空（共5分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Some parts of the world are very hot and dry, with little rain. A team of scientists in Chile (智利) has been studying a way to collect water in these a 1 . It is called fog harvesting (收集). Fog is like a cloud near the ground. It has tiny water drops. To catch these drops, scientists put up big nets (网) in the mountains. When fog passes t 2 the nets, the drops stick to the wires, grow bigger, and fall into pipes. The water is then stored in tanks (箱). In Alto Hospicio, this method works w 3 . Every week, the nets collect enough water for thousands of people. Just 17, 000 square meters of nets can provide (提供) 300, 000 liters (升) of water! More nets could even water the city’s parks and plants. Now, scientists are s 4 where else fog harvesting can work. They check how much fog an area gets, how thick it is, and how the wind blows. They want to make a special map to show the best places for fog harvesting. This idea helps people in d 5 places get water without waiting for rain. It’s simple, cheap, and uses nature’s resources (资源). Maybe one day, more places around the world can try it too! 八、书面表达（共15分） 近年来，中国新四大发明在网络上广受热议。假如你是李华，你们学校围绕中国新四大发明(Four Great New Inventions of China)”主题举办了一场关于“最实用的发明”的投票活动(voting activity)。请你根据以下表格的内容写一篇文章，介绍这次活动及结果；并选择其中一项你最喜欢的发明，分享你的想法。 The Most Practical Invention Inventions Percentage 10% 35% 30% 25% Your favourite invention and reason(s) 注意： 1. 词数：80 词左右； 2. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息。 In recent years, the Four Great New Inventions of China have made our life more and more convenient. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What do you think of these inventions?

The water is then stored in tanks (箱). In Alto Hospicio, this method works w 3 . Every week, the nets collect enough water for thousands of people. Just 17, 000 square meters of nets can provide (提供) 300, 000 liters (升) of water! More nets could even water the city’s parks and plants. Now, scientists are s 4 where else fog harvesting can work. They check how much fog an area gets, how thick it is, and how the wind blows. They want to make a special map to show the best places for fog harvesting. This idea helps people in d 5 places get water without waiting for rain. It’s simple, cheap, and uses nature’s resources (资源). Maybe one day, more places around the world can try it too! 八、书面表达（共15分） 近年来，中国新四大发明在网络上广受热议。假如你是李华，你们学校围绕中国新四大发明(Four Great New Inventions of China)”主题举办了一场关于“最实用的发明”的投票活动(voting activity)。请你根据以下表格的内容写一篇文章，介绍这次活动及结果；并选择其中一项你最喜欢的发明，分享你的想法。 The Most Practical Invention Inventions Percentage 10% 35% 30% 25% Your favourite invention and reason(s) 注意： 1. 词数：80 词左右； 2. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息。 In recent years, the Four Great New Inventions of China have made our life more and more convenient. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What do you think of these inventions?
