The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed. Paper provided an important way to spread information. According to Chinese written historical records, paper was made in about AD 105 by Cai Lun, an official during the Han Dynasty. He took the inner bark of a tree and bamboo, mixed them with water, and pounded them with a wooden tool. He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth. After it dried, Cai Lun discovered that he had created a good writing thing—paper. It was easy to make and take. Chinese papermaking was introduced to Korea and Vietnam and later to Japan at the beginning of the 3rd century. It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret. During the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, different kinds of paper were developed including bamboo paper and xuan paper. By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In about AD 751 after an important battle, the secret of papermaking was gotten from two Chinese prisoners（囚犯）caught by the enemies. The invention was then spread to Europe. After many years, the invention had been spread all over the world and people thought it was one of the most important inventions. Today, both paper and paper money are used in all corners. 21．More people got the chance to be ________ after the invention of paper. A．introduced B．provided C．educated D．treated 22．The underlined word “pounded” in the second paragraph might mean “________” in Chinese.

A．the two Chinese prisoners were killed by Europeans B．the methods of papermaking had been spread all over the world C．the methods of papermaking were spread only in Asia D．the Chinese didn’t offer the methods of making paper to Europeans 25．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The invention and spread of paper. B．The materials used to make paper. C．The famous ancient inventor Cai Lun. D．Different kinds of paper. C Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total. But do you know that there are many cool technologies behind their success? Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100m final.With the help of scientific training, he made his breakthrough.“It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 metres.Each step counts, ” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics （生物力学） expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data （数据） on outstanding sprinters and built a database.He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal （接近最优的） model.When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.” Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis.On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mima ITO was in full swing（正在全力进行） at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform was watching the match. Every serve, swing and movement of Mima ITO was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo.At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform, 2, 442 kilometres away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper. The platform has stored the data of more than 8, 000 matches so far.The research team has been working on match simulation（模拟） since 2018.“Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the winning rate will change when players change certain tactics（策略）.”Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of the platform, told CCTV-2. The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting-edge technologies in athletes’ devices （设备）.For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury （受伤） and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported. 26．Who helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough? A．His scientific training. B．Support from his family. C．His coach’s encouragement. D．Support from other sprinters. 27．What’s the advantage of match simulation according to Professor Wu Yingcai? A．Players can study other players’ tactics. B．Players can know their own weaknesses. C．It helps players improve their winning rate. D．It helps judges make the correct judgement. 28．The GPS devices can help coaches ________. A．quickly find out players’ information B．give proper treatment for sports injuries C．make better decisions for future training D．follow players’ movement during the game 29．What does the passage mainly talk about?

Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time? Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 32 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk. In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 33 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently. Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 34 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent（专利）on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally ecognized by the government. 35 A．He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B．However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. C．Unfortunately, only a few people attended this talk. D．He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor. E．He needed to keep in touch with her at all times. F．He was very clever. 三、选词填空（共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一空，每词限用一次。   and   worker   appear   money   with   protect   also   be   a   less Have you seen some machines called “Little Yellow Dog” that eat rubbish and give some money to the users?

The famous Xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Xuanzhou, (now Xuancheng, Anhui), where the Xuan paper is produced, it’s said that Cai Lun’s pupil Kong Dan happened to see the ebony (黑檀) in a river. It was wet with the water and turned white. Then he used the bark (树皮) to produce the world-famous Xuan paper. The inkstone was already, very popular in the Han Dynasty.

The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed. Paper provided an important way to spread information. According to Chinese written historical records, paper was made in about AD 105 by Cai Lun, an official during the Han Dynasty. He took the inner bark of a tree and bamboo, mixed them with water, and pounded them with a wooden tool. He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth. After it dried, Cai Lun discovered that he had created a good writing thing—paper. It was easy to make and take. Chinese papermaking was introduced to Korea and Vietnam and later to Japan at the beginning of the 3rd century. It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret. During the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, different kinds of paper were developed including bamboo paper and xuan paper. By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In about AD 751 after an important battle, the secret of papermaking was gotten from two Chinese prisoners（囚犯）caught by the enemies. The invention was then spread to Europe. After many years, the invention had been spread all over the world and people thought it was one of the most important inventions. Today, both paper and paper money are used in all corners. 21．More people got the chance to be ________ after the invention of paper. A．introduced B．provided C．educated D．treated 22．The underlined word “pounded” in the second paragraph might mean “________” in Chinese. A．按压 B．晾晒 C．覆盖 D．捣碎 23．Other countries didn’t know ________ before Chinese papermaking was introduced to them. A．the papermaking process B．the valued export C．the xuan paper D．the Silk Road trading 24．From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ________. A．the two Chinese prisoners were killed by Europeans B．the methods of papermaking had been spread all over the world C．the methods of papermaking were spread only in Asia D．the Chinese didn’t offer the methods of making paper to Europeans 25．What’s the passage mainly about?

D．Different kinds of paper. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．A 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸的发明和传播过程。 21．细节理解题。根据“The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed.”可知，纸的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育，故选C。 22．词义猜测题。根据下文“He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth.”可知，他把混合物放在布上，所以前面指的是他把树的内皮和竹子与水混合并且捣碎成混合物。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据“It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret.”可知，纸的制作过程是被保密的，所以其他国家不知道。故选A。 24．细节理解题。根据“By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.”和“The invention was then spread to Europe.”可知，纸的制作过程传向了全世界。故选B。 25．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了纸的发明和传播过程。选项A“纸的发明和传播”符合题意，故选A。 C Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total. But do you know that there are many cool technologies behind their success? Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100m final.With the help of scientific training, he made his breakthrough.“It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 metres.Each step counts, ” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics （生物力学） expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data （数据） on outstanding sprinters and built a database.He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal （接近最优的） model.When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.” Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis.On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mima ITO was in full swing（正在全力进行） at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform was watching the match. Every serve, swing and movement of Mima ITO was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo.At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform, 2, 442 kilometres away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper. The platform has stored the data of more than 8, 000 matches so far.The research team has been working on match simulation（模拟） since 2018.“Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the winning rate will change when players change certain tactics（策略）.”Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of the platform, told CCTV-2. The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting-edge technologies in athletes’ devices （设备）.For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury （受伤） and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported. 26．Who helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough?

Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time? Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 32 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk. In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 33 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently. Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 34 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent（专利）on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally ecognized by the government. 35 A．He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B．However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. C．Unfortunately, only a few people attended this talk. D．He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor. E．He needed to keep in touch with her at all times. F．He was very clever. 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．E 34．C 35．D 【分析】短文主要介绍大多数人都认为电话是亚历山大•格拉汉姆•贝尔发明的，但是第一个有这个想法的人是安东尼奥•梅乌奇。因为他没有申请专利，2002年梅乌奇去世后一个多世纪，他的工作终于得到了政府的认可。他现在作为电话的发明人而闻名全世界。 31．根据上一句“Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.我们大多数人都认为电话是亚历山大•格拉汉姆•贝尔发明的。”及下一句“In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised（认定）as the inventor a few years ago.事实上，一个名叫安东尼奥•梅乌奇的意大利人在几年前被正式承认为发明家。”可知，中间应该是“然而，他并不是第一个想到这个想法的人。”，故选B。 32．根据下一句“When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.当两个地方用电缆连接时，那些地方的人就可以听到对方的谈话。”可知，上一句应该是“他发现声音可以通过金属电缆传播。”，故选A。 33．根据上一句“Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. Meucci很担心他的妻子，因为她病得很重。”及下一句“To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop为了解决这个问题，他在家里和车间之间连接了金属电缆。”可知，中间应该是“他需要随时与她保持联系。”，故选E。 34．根据上两句“Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.梅西邀请一群人去看他的新发明。他们惊奇地听到一个歌手通过电线的声音。”及下一句“Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent（专利）on his invention.更糟的是，Meucci从未申请过他的发明专利。”可知，中间应该是“不幸的是，只有少数人参加了这次谈话。”，故选C。 35．根据上一句“In 2002, more than a century after Meucci's death, his work was finally recognised by the government. 2002，Meucci死后一个多世纪，他的工作终于得到政府的认可。”可知，下一句应该是“他现在作为电话的发明人而闻名全世界。”，故选D。 三、选词填空（共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一空，每词限用一次。   and  worker  appear  money  with  protect  also  be  a  less Have you seen some machines called “Little Yellow Dog” that eat rubbish and give some money to the users?

The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed. Paper provided an important way to spread information. According to Chinese written historical records, paper was made in about AD 105 by Cai Lun, an official during the Han Dynasty. He took the inner bark of a tree and bamboo, mixed them with water, and pounded them with a wooden tool. He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth. After it dried, Cai Lun discovered that he had created a good writing thing—paper. It was easy to make and take. Chinese papermaking was introduced to Korea and Vietnam and later to Japan at the beginning of the 3rd century. It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret. During the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, different kinds of paper were developed including bamboo paper and xuan paper. By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In about AD 751 after an important battle, the secret of papermaking was gotten from two Chinese prisoners（囚犯）caught by the enemies. The invention was then spread to Europe. After many years, the invention had been spread all over the world and people thought it was one of the most important inventions. Today, both paper and paper money are used in all corners. 21．More people got the chance to be ________ after the invention of paper.

Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100m final.With the help of scientific training, he made his breakthrough.“It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 metres.Each step counts, ” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics （生物力学） expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data （数据） on outstanding sprinters and built a database.He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal （接近最优的） model.When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.” Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis.On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mima ITO was in full swing（正在全力进行） at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform was watching the match. Every serve, swing and movement of Mima ITO was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo.At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform, 2, 442 kilometres away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper. The platform has stored the data of more than 8, 000 matches so far.The research team has been working on match simulation（模拟） since 2018.“Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the winning rate will change when players change certain tactics（策略）.”Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of the platform, told CCTV-2. The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting-edge technologies in athletes’ devices （设备）.For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury （受伤） and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported. 26．Who helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough?

Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time? Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 32 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk. In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 33 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently. Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 34 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent（专利）on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally ecognized by the government. 35 A．He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B．However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea. C．Unfortunately, only a few people attended this talk. D．He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor. E．He needed to keep in touch with her at all times. F．He was very clever. 三、选词填空（共 10小题，每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一空，每词限用一次。   and   worker   appear   money   with   protect   also   be   a   less Have you seen some machines called “Little Yellow Dog” that eat rubbish and give some money to the users?
