Born on the same day? Looking almost the same? Or having the same hobbies? Well, I have a twin brother who was born on a different day from me. We do not look very similar and we are always interested in different things. Twelve years ago, my brother, Wayne, was born at eleven fifty-eight on the night of 28th May. Five minutes later, I was born on 29th May. Since we were born, I have always been heavier and stronger than Wayne, so people usually think I am the older brother. But Wayne is always smarter than me. For example, he is better at playing chess. He always does better in all the school subjects than I do. Besides, he loves reading and learns many things more rapidly than me. He knows a lot about animals, although he does not spend much time with our dogs and birds. He knows a lot about bicycles, but never likes to ride bikes as much as I do. Although we are very different, I love my brother very much.

So, he first worked as a climbing coach. He found it was fun because it was like getting paid to climb. He also thought it was much better than sitting in front of a computer all day. Like many climbers, Robbie also faced challenges when he started. A few weeks after he began climbing, he walked his dogs near some big rocks. He saw a rock that looked easy to climb and started climbing it. Halfway up, he saw a bird’s nest and stopped for too long. Then he slipped (滑倒) and almost fell.

This is a new way of social interaction (社会交往) for young people. The idea behind this activity is clear. It allows people to find someone with common hobbies and it doesn’t take them much time. With dazi, people can enjoy activities more. Ge Jinyuan is a student from Shandong. She likes having lunch with her meal dazi. “We love to share ideas on food,” says the girl. “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school, I will be sad.” “It takes a lot of time to make friends with others, but it doesn’t take much time to have dazi,” says Shi Zhimin, a student from Shanxi.

By playing the game together, I find I like working with others!” Shi Zhimin says. Dazi is helpful but finding dazi online can be dangerous. Some people may not tell you the truth online.

This little plastic tool makes using computers so much easier. It has a history of more than 50 years. In 1964, American computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart invented the prototype (原型) of the mouse. On April 27, 1981, the first computer system with a mouse and the user interface (界面) appeared. This design plays an important part in the personal computing world even today. The invention of the mouse was the beginning of a new age. Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect to their computers. Some say developments like the touchscreen will mean the end of the mouse, but others believe the mouse will be around for a while longer. “It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it. These are the reasons for its long life,” says Ken Perlin, a professor at New York University. Scientists are now working on adding new things to the mouse. Recently, they made a “soft mouse”, which is made of a soft plastic material. Using it is like touching a cat, so some computer users have started calling it the “cat”. There is an Internet saying: One day the “cat” may eat the “mouse”. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By using an old saying. D．By giving a fact. 2．It was ______ for computer users to connect to their computers before the invention of the mouse. A．impossible B．interesting C．easy D．difficult 3．What can we know from the text? A．Scientists have invented a “soft mouse” made of cloth. B．The touchscreen will surely end the use of the mouse. C．We can use the computer without looking at the mouse. D．The mouse was invented by a Japanese scientist. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．An American computer pioneer. B．A useful tool—the mouse. C．The history of the computer. D．A new tool—the “cat”. 5．The text is probably taken from a ______. A．science book B．storybook C．geography book D．picture book Do you want to taste the food you see on cooking shows? Well, that wish has moved a step closer. Professor Homei Miya made a special TV screen. It is different from common screens in our daily life. You can enjoy the TV screen with your real tongue (舌头)! It is called TTTV, which means “Taste the TV”. Professor Miya said it could become “taste-a-vision”. He wants to create a screen we can use with more senses, from screens only with pictures and sounds to screens that we can touch, smell and taste. Professor Miya said his screen can copy food tastes. It works like a printer. Instead of ink, TTTV uses 10 different taste cartridges (墨盒). These cartridges spray (喷洒) the tastes of food onto something on the TV screen. People can taste the thing on the screen to enjoy the taste. The professor said, “The screen is invented to let people experience things like faraway world-class restaurants without leaving their own home.” A student at Meiji University tasted chocolate she saw on the screen. She said, “It’s sweet like a real chocolate sauce (酱)!” Professor Miya said that the screen could also be helpful for distance learning classes for cooks or could be used for tasting games and quizzes. 1．How is the TV screen different from others?

D．Cooking meals. 5．What is the purpose of writing this article? A．To describe a taste of food. B．To advise an eating style. C．To share a tasting game. D．To introduce an invention. The ground shook suddenly. Houses moved, and people ran into the streets with scare. With people running around, Zhang Heng stood still, thinking quickly. “There must be a way to know when this will happen,” he thought. He had seen many earthquakes in his life, and each time, people couldn’t do anything. But this time, Zhang Heng decided to find a method. For days, he could think of nothing else but the earthquake. He was a man who loved science and understood the power of nature. After studying the stars, the sky, and the earth for years, Zhang Heng had an idea—what if there was a machine that could feel earthquakes before they happened? Without wasting any time, Zhang Heng began to work on his invention. He used bronze (青铜) to create a large container with eight dragon heads, each holding a small ball in its mouth. At the bottom of each dragon, he placed a frog. If an earthquake happened, the shaking would cause the ball to fall into the frog's mouth, showing the direction of the earthquake. Years of hard work passed. In AD 132, Zhang Heng completed the great bronze instrument, yet there was no immediate earthquake to confirm its accuracy. Not until AD 138—more than six years later—did the Seismoscope (地动仪) prove its worth. On a calm morning, the dragon head pointing west released its ball while Luoyang felt no tremor. Court officials doubted the warning, but several days later, a messenger arrived reporting that Longxi, far to the west, had indeed been struck by a severe earthquake. Though his name became famous, Zhang Heng never stopped searching for answers. He knew that science was a never-ending journey, and he was always ready for the next challenge. 1．What was Zhang Heng trying to do in the story? A．To build some machines to help people with everyday tasks. B．To create a container for telling the weather ahead of time. C．To become famous for his scientific work and inventions. D．To find a way to warn about earthquakes ahead of time. 2．How did Zhang Heng’s Seismoscope work? A．The eight dragon heads could move slowly to show earthquakes. B．The shaking from an earthquake made balls fall into frogs’ mouths. C．It showed the temperature change before an earthquake happened. D．The machine could tell exactly when an earthquake was happening. 3．What happened in AD 138? A．The Seismoscope did not work at all and failed. B．The machine showed the earthquake’s direction. C．The frog opened its mouth and shouted loudly. D．The invention was damaged during the test. 4．Which of the following best describes Zhang Heng? A．He gave up doing research after becoming famous. B．He wanted to end his journey of scientific inventions. C．He always looked for new scientific challenges. D．He believed that science had solved all problems. Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and respond (反应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like “what’s the capital of France” or “what’s the biggest animal in the world”. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ▲ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but it’s also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are increasing your knowledge (知识). Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer your all kinds of questions. But ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people will use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 1．The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________.

This little plastic tool makes using computers so much easier. It has a history of more than 50 years. In 1964, American computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart invented the prototype (原型) of the mouse. On April 27, 1981, the first computer system with a mouse and the user interface (界面) appeared. This design plays an important part in the personal computing world even today. The invention of the mouse was the beginning of a new age. Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect to their computers. Some say developments like the touchscreen will mean the end of the mouse, but others believe the mouse will be around for a while longer. “It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it. These are the reasons for its long life,” says Ken Perlin, a professor at New York University. Scientists are now working on adding new things to the mouse. Recently, they made a “soft mouse”, which is made of a soft plastic material. Using it is like touching a cat, so some computer users have started calling it the “cat”. There is an Internet saying: One day the “cat” may eat the “mouse”. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By using an old saying. D．By giving a fact. 2．It was ______ for computer users to connect to their computers before the invention of the mouse. A．impossible B．interesting C．easy D．difficult 3．What can we know from the text? A．Scientists have invented a “soft mouse” made of cloth. B．The touchscreen will surely end the use of the mouse. C．We can use the computer without looking at the mouse. D．The mouse was invented by a Japanese scientist. 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．An American computer pioneer. B．A useful tool—the mouse. C．The history of the computer. D．A new tool—the “cat”. 5．The text is probably taken from a ______. A．science book B．storybook C．geography book D．picture book 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了鼠标的发展历程。 1．推理判断题。根据“When you use a computer, do you think about the importance of the mouse?”可知，作者通过提问的方式引入话题。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Before the mouse, computer users had to use complex (复杂的) tools and difficult code (编码) to connect to their computers.”可知，鼠标发明前操作电脑非常困难。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“It’s easy to learn, and you don’t need to take your eyes off the screen to use it.”可知，使用鼠标时可以不看鼠标本身。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕鼠标的历史、作用及未来发展展开，重点介绍鼠标作为一种实用工具的重要性。故选B。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章内容涉及科技发明和计算机工具，语言风格和内容适合科学类书籍。故选A。 Do you want to taste the food you see on cooking shows? Well, that wish has moved a step closer. Professor Homei Miya made a special TV screen. It is different from common screens in our daily life. You can enjoy the TV screen with your real tongue (舌头)! It is called TTTV, which means “Taste the TV”. Professor Miya said it could become “taste-a-vision”. He wants to create a screen we can use with more senses, from screens only with pictures and sounds to screens that we can touch, smell and taste. Professor Miya said his screen can copy food tastes. It works like a printer. Instead of ink, TTTV uses 10 different taste cartridges (墨盒). These cartridges spray (喷洒) the tastes of food onto something on the TV screen. People can taste the thing on the screen to enjoy the taste. The professor said, “The screen is invented to let people experience things like faraway world-class restaurants without leaving their own home.” A student at Meiji University tasted chocolate she saw on the screen. She said, “It’s sweet like a real chocolate sauce (酱)!” Professor Miya said that the screen could also be helpful for distance learning classes for cooks or could be used for tasting games and quizzes. 1．How is the TV screen different from others?

Houses moved, and people ran into the streets with scare. With people running around, Zhang Heng stood still, thinking quickly. “There must be a way to know when this will happen,” he thought. He had seen many earthquakes in his life, and each time, people couldn’t do anything. But this time, Zhang Heng decided to find a method. For days, he could think of nothing else but the earthquake. He was a man who loved science and understood the power of nature. After studying the stars, the sky, and the earth for years, Zhang Heng had an idea—what if there was a machine that could feel earthquakes before they happened? Without wasting any time, Zhang Heng began to work on his invention. He used bronze (青铜) to create a large container with eight dragon heads, each holding a small ball in its mouth. At the bottom of each dragon, he placed a frog. If an earthquake happened, the shaking would cause the ball to fall into the frog's mouth, showing the direction of the earthquake. Years of hard work passed. In AD 132, Zhang Heng completed the great bronze instrument, yet there was no immediate earthquake to confirm its accuracy. Not until AD 138—more than six years later—did the Seismoscope (地动仪) prove its worth. On a calm morning, the dragon head pointing west released its ball while Luoyang felt no tremor. Court officials doubted the warning, but several days later, a messenger arrived reporting that Longxi, far to the west, had indeed been struck by a severe earthquake. Though his name became famous, Zhang Heng never stopped searching for answers. He knew that science was a never-ending journey, and he was always ready for the next challenge. 1．What was Zhang Heng trying to do in the story? A．To build some machines to help people with everyday tasks. B．To create a container for telling the weather ahead of time. C．To become famous for his scientific work and inventions. D．To find a way to warn about earthquakes ahead of time. 2．How did Zhang Heng’s Seismoscope work? A．The eight dragon heads could move slowly to show earthquakes. B．The shaking from an earthquake made balls fall into frogs’ mouths. C．It showed the temperature change before an earthquake happened. D．The machine could tell exactly when an earthquake was happening. 3．What happened in AD 138? A．The Seismoscope did not work at all and failed. B．The machine showed the earthquake’s direction. C．The frog opened its mouth and shouted loudly. D．The invention was damaged during the test. 4．Which of the following best describes Zhang Heng? A．He gave up doing research after becoming famous. B．He wanted to end his journey of scientific inventions. C．He always looked for new scientific challenges. D．He believed that science had solved all problems. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要是通过讲述张衡发明地动仪的故事，展现了他对科学的热爱和不懈探索精神，以及他如何通过发明帮助人们提前预警地震，拯救生命。 1．细节理解题。根据“‘There must be a way to know when this will happen,’ he thought. ...But this time, Zhang Heng decided to find a method.”以及“After studying the stars, the sky, and the earth for years, Zhang Heng had an idea—what if there was a machine that could feel earthquakes before they happened?”可知，张衡试图找到一种能提前预警地震的方法。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“He used bronze (青铜) to create a large container with eight dragon heads, each holding a small ball in its mouth.
