Charles Darwin was a scientist who changed our understanding of the natural world. He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left school without graduation (毕业).
Then, Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished his studies in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H.M.S. Beagle as a scientist. H.M.S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited.
On 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H.M.S. Beagle. He and his teammates planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, and then in Australia. During that time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them.
Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species (物种起源) with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, few people liked his ideas. They were not popular but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things.

Bi Sheng was a great Chinese inventor who lived in the 11th century. He came from a poor family. But he had a great interest in learning and making things. In those times, books were copied by hand with great difficulty. It was a very slow and hard task. Bi Sheng often saw that and thought there must be a better way.
One day, while walking in the street, Bi Sheng noticed two children were making little toys like people and pigs out of the mud and putting them in different orders. This gave Bi Sheng a great idea. He thought that he could make the character first and then put them in orders like the mud toys.
After much thought and experiments, Bi Sheng decided to use clay. He carefully pressed the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. Then, he put these clay pieces into a fire to make them hard. Then he put the clay characters in an iron frame (框架) to form a passage. After that, ink was put on the clay characters. A piece of paper was placed on the top and the inked characters appeared on it with gentle press. After printing, the clay characters can be kept and reused.
This movable type printing (活字印刷术) made making books much quicker and easier. People could get books more easily. However, some people didn’t believe in this new invention. But Bi Sheng didn’t give up and kept making it better. Today, this type of printing still has a big influence not only in China but also in other places. It shows us that with creativity and hard work, we can also do great things and make the world a better place.

Ai Peng, Lai’s son, also helps and adds Shu embroidery (蜀绣) to the shoes.

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 41 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (认定) as the inventor a few years ago. 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. 42 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. 43 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.
44 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 (专利) for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 45

Charles Darwin was a scientist who changed our understanding of the natural world. He is known as the Father of Modern Biology. Darwin was born in 1809 in England. He didn’t do well at school and got poor grades. His father was a doctor and wanted Charles to become a doctor too. Then his father sent him to a medical school to study medicine when he was 16. However, he preferred spending time studying things in nature to attending medical classes. So he left school without graduation (毕业).
Then, Darwin’s father sent him to another school and wanted him to become a minister (牧师). He finished his studies in this school but he didn’t want to be a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
After graduation, Darwin was asked to sail on the ship H.M.S. Beagle as a scientist. H.M.S. Beagle was going to travel around the world. His work was to make maps of the places they visited.
On 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on H.M.S. Beagle. He and his teammates planned to spend two years on the trip. In fact, it took five years to make it. They first arrived in South America, and then in Australia. During that time, Darwin saw many amazing things. He collected lots of things like fossils of plants and animals. He took them back to England and spent lots of time working on them.
Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (发表) the great scientific work On the Origin of Species (物种起源) with the help of Wallace. In this work, Darwin talked about his ideas about natural selection—how animals developed. At first, few people liked his ideas. They were not popular but now most people agree with them. They are very important to the modern study of living things.

Bi Sheng was a great Chinese inventor who lived in the 11th century. He came from a poor family. But he had a great interest in learning and making things. In those times, books were copied by hand with great difficulty. It was a very slow and hard task. Bi Sheng often saw that and thought there must be a better way.
One day, while walking in the street, Bi Sheng noticed two children were making little toys like people and pigs out of the mud and putting them in different orders. This gave Bi Sheng a great idea. He thought that he could make the character first and then put them in orders like the mud toys.
After much thought and experiments, Bi Sheng decided to use clay. He carefully pressed the clay into small pieces and cut one character on each piece. Then, he put these clay pieces into a fire to make them hard. Then he put the clay characters in an iron frame (框架) to form a passage. After that, ink was put on the clay characters. A piece of paper was placed on the top and the inked characters appeared on it with gentle press. After printing, the clay characters can be kept and reused.
This movable type printing (活字印刷术) made making books much quicker and easier. People could get books more easily. However, some people didn’t believe in this new invention. But Bi Sheng didn’t give up and kept making it better. Today, this type of printing still has a big influence not only in China but also in other places. It shows us that with creativity and hard work, we can also do great things and make the world a better place.

Most people nowadays wear sneakers (运动鞋), leather (皮革) shoes or boots. But in ancient China, many people made their own cloth shoes.
Tangchang, a town in Sichuan province with 700 years of shoe making history, is known for its cloth shoes.
Tangchang cloth shoes “are easy to walk in, and they don’t get damp (潮湿的) easily,” Xinhua noted.
Tangchang cloth shoes were popular in China until the 1980s. According to China Daily, there were five Tangchang cloth shoe factories in Chengdu alone. In 2018, Tangchang cloth shoes were added to Sichuan’s intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list.
But making cloth shoes is not easy. Growing up in Tangchang, Lai Shufang, 63, is a master of making cloth shoes and has been making them for over 40 years. The job is very demanding (费力的) and over time customers prefer sneakers.
Many factories producing Tangchang cloth shoes were shut down. The last, where Lai worked, shut down in 1998.To make a living and help the cultural heritage survive, however, Lai and her co-workers continued to make cloth shoes and sold them in her store.
Ai Peng, Lai’s son, also helps and adds Shu embroidery (蜀绣) to the shoes.
They now sell about 10,000 pairs of shoes each year.
37.What shoes did people wear in ancient China?
A.Sneakers. B.Boots. C.Cloth shoes. D.Leather shoes.
38.What can we learn about Tangchang cloth shoes?

C.They don’t have any cultural meaning. D.More people choose to wear them than before.
39.What does the underlined word “survive” mean in Paragraph 6?
A.die out B.stay popular C.make money D.continue to last
40.In what order did the following happen in Lai’s life?

b. The place she used to work closed down.

d. She learned how to make cloth shoes more than 40 years ago.
e. Her son improved the design of the shoes by adding Shu embroidery.

【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了四川唐昌镇有着700年历史的布鞋的发展、特点,以及制鞋大师赖淑芳及其儿子为传承这一非物质文化遗产所做的努力。
37.细节理解题。根据“But in ancient China, many people made their own cloth shoes.”可知,古代中国人穿布鞋。故选C。
38.细节理解题。根据“Tangchang cloth shoes ‘are easy to walk in, and they don’t get damp (潮湿的) easily,’ Xinhua noted.”可知,唐昌布鞋穿起来舒适又轻便。故选B。

40.细节理解题。根据文章内容:63 岁的赖淑芳在唐昌长大,40 多年前学会做布鞋(d);之后在工厂里忙着做布鞋(a);1998 年她工作的工厂倒闭(b);之后她的儿子艾鹏帮忙,并在鞋子上添加蜀绣(e);现在他们的鞋子每年能卖出约 1 万双,销量很好(c)。因此正确顺序为 d-a-b-e-c。故选A。

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 41 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (认定) as the inventor a few years ago. 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. 42 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. 43 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.
44 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 (专利) for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 45
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 (不幸的是), 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.
【答案】41.B 42.A 43.E 44.C 45.D
【导语】文章主要讲述了电话真正的发明者安东尼奥·梅乌奇(Antonio Meucci)的故事。
41.根据前一句“Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.”以及后一句“In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (认定) as the inventor a few years ago.”可知,前文说多数人认为电话是贝尔发明的,后文指出实际上是梅乌奇。此句应起转折作用,表明贝尔不是第一个有电话发明想法的人。B选项“然而,他并不是第一个想到这个想法的人。”符合语境。故选B。
42.根据前一句“During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity.”以及后一句“When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.”可知,是在讲述梅乌奇在学习电时的实验,当两地用线连接,人们能听到彼此说话。A选项“他发现声音可以通过金属电缆传播。”引起下文,符合语境。故选A。
43.根据前文“In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill.”和后文“To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop.”可知,梅乌奇很担心他的妻子,想和妻子保持联系,E 选项“他需要随时和她保持联系。”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
44.根据下一句“Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent (专利) on his invention.”可知,更糟糕的是,他没申请专利,应与此空内容形成递进关系。C选项“不幸的是,只有少数人参加了这次演讲。”符合语境。故选C。
45.根据前一句“In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government.”可知,在2002 年,梅乌奇的工作得到政府认可。D选项“他现在将作为电话的发明者而闻名于世。”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。

A survey on weekly smartphone use
Recently, we did a survey on weekly smartphone use of 1400 eighth graders in Guangzhou Middle School. Here is the result.
According to the survey, 55% of the students use smartphones to search for information and study English. On the other hand, 45% of the students use smartphones to play games and watch short videos. Using smartphones has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, smartphones can be very helpful for learning. They provide easy access to a vast amount of information and educational resources. However, there are also some drawbacks. Excessive use of smartphones can waste a lot of time and money. Moreover, it can lead to addiction and distract students from their studies.
In my opinion, students should use smartphones wisely. They should set a time limit for non-educational activities and focus more on using smartphones as a tool for learning.
