She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists” — the kids who hadn’t really done art before — worked mostly with clay, while Kelly was a terrible sculptor. It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at — charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed — and was good at — and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said, “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it — it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I — I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented — Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up…” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 41. When Kelly started classes at the art school, she ________. A. lacked confidence in drawing B. was not good at the course C. was often pushed by Miss Grace D. did not get along with the other kids 42. How did Kelly feel when Sophia sat beside her? A. Frustrated. B. Bored. C. Excited. D. Relieved. 43. What did Kelly do in the art class? A. She praised Sophia’s creativity. B. She inspired Sophia. C. She decided to outshine Sophia. D. She finished the drawing for Sophia. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. You are what you believe to be. C. Everyone has their own strengths. D. Hard work will eventually pay off. 45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Kelly’s Journey to Becoming an Artist. B. A Surprising Talk Between Two Artists. C. Finding Strengths in Each Other. D. Miss Grace’s Art Class. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kelly在艺术学校学习绘画过程中，与同学Sophia互相发现对方优点并互相鼓励的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists” — the kids who hadn’t really done art before — worked mostly with clay, while Kelly was a terrible sculptor.(Kelly十二岁时开始在格蕾丝艺术学校学习。起初她并不喜欢那里：那些“艺术新手”——指之前没怎么接触过艺术的孩子——主要做泥塑，而Kelly的雕塑水平实在不敢恭维)”可知，当Kelly刚开始在艺术学校上课时，她不擅长这门课程。故选B项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed — and was good at — and now Sophia was going to outshine her again?(有一天，班里最厉害的画家Sophia拿着画架坐到凯莉旁边。Kelly心里一沉——她好不容易找到自己真正喜爱且擅长的艺术形式，难道这次又要被Sophia比下去吗？)”可知，当Sophia坐到Kelly旁边时，她觉得自己会被比下去，感到很沮丧。故选A项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第五段至倒数第二段““I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up…” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally.(“我也一直很喜欢你的画。”Kelly说道。“呃，这幅可绝对不算。”Sophia撇了撇嘴。Kelly微微一笑：“现在可能还不完美。但如果你把这些线条往上移……”她用手指在Sophia的画纸上比划着。Sophia沉默片刻，忽然眼睛一亮：“这主意太棒了！”)”可知，Kelly给Sophia提出了建议，并且Sophia认为是个好主意，由此可知，Kelly在艺术课上启发了Sophia。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第六段中“Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.”(Sophia挑起眉毛说道：“我或许很擅长模仿现成作品，但要自己构思原创画面就束手无策了。你却总能从传统元素中创造出新意——我一直特别欣赏你的作品。”)”和倒数第五段““I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said.(“我也一直很喜欢你的画。”Kelly说道)”可知，Sophia和Kelly 相互欣赏，说明每个人都有自己的长处。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合倒数第六段中“Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.”(Sophia挑起眉毛说道：“我或许很擅长模仿现成作品，但要自己构思原创画面就束手无策了。你却总能从传统元素中创造出新意——我一直特别欣赏你的作品。”)”、倒数第五段““I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said.(“我也一直很喜欢你的画。”Kelly说道)”和最后一段“Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.(Kelly微笑着转回自己的画作，不时抬眼观察Sophia的进展——看到她连最细微的线条都采纳了自己的建议，笑意更深了)”可知，文章主要讲述了Kelly在艺术学校学习绘画过程中，与同学Sophia互相发现对方优点并互相鼓励的故事。故C项“Finding Strengths in Each Other(发现彼此的优点)”最能概括文章内容，适合作文章标题。故选C项。 C One recent research found that 92% of university students use AI, and 20% have used AI for all or part of a task given by their teachers. With the spread of generative AI came new promises that it could change education, bring in an era of personalized student learning and reduce (减少) the work pressure for teachers. But many teachers were “rightly skeptical” about the advantages of introducing more technology into the classroom. A global OECD study found, for instance, that the more students use tech in schools, the worse their results. What worries the teachers is not only that their students are always distracted (分心) by the apps, but that they will not develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills and deep knowledge when quick answers are only a click away. Where once teacher Clement would ask his class a question such as, “Where do you think the US stands in terms of GDP per capita?” and guide his students as they puzzled over the solution, now some student will have Googled the answer before the teacher has even finished his question. They know students use ChatGPT all the time and get annoyed if they aren’t provided with a digital copy of their task, because then they must type rather than copy and paste the questions into an AI assistant or the Google search bar. “Being able to Google something and providing the right answer isn’t knowledge,” Clement says. The internet is already full of misdirection and misinformation, something that will only become worse as AI approaches and produces seemingly reasonable fakes, and he worries that young people are poorly equipped to discover it. Our brains love shortcut; it’s in our nature. But your brain also needs friction to learn. It needs to have a challenge. We know that once you are used to the digital world, the friction-filled real world feels harder to deal with. By the time we agree that our minds are no longer our own, that we simply cannot think clearly without tech assistance, how much of us will be left to fight? 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How students use AI to complete tasks. B. The advantages of AI in modern education. C. The development of AI technology in universities. D. Teachers’ worries about AI’s impact on students’ learning abilities. 47. What does the word ‘skeptical’ mean in the second paragraph? A. Angry and opposed B. Doubtful and questioning C. Curious and interested D. Enthusiastic and supportive 48. According to the OECD study, what is the relationship between technology use and student performance? A. Technology only helps in certain subjects. B. Technology use has no clear effect on student results. C. Increased technology use leads to worse learning performance. D. The more students use technology the better their results become. 49. What happens now when Clement asks students a question in class, according to the passage? A. They argue about the topic using their knowledge. B. Many feel annoyed and ask for digital task copies. C. Students think deeply about the answer with his guide. D. Some students may search online for answers even before he finishes asking. 50. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Overuse of technology may harm our thinking ability. B. Our brains prefer digital shortcuts to real challenges. C. People should return to the real world completely. D. The digital world can provide enough challenge for deep learning. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了研究显示多数大学生使用AI完成作业，AI虽有教育应用前景，但教师担忧其导致学生分心、缺乏批判性思维，且OECD研究表明科技使用越多成绩越差，过度依赖或损害思考能力。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One recent research found that 92% of university students use AI, and 20% have used AI for all or part of a task given by their teachers.(最近的一项研究发现，92%的大学生使用过人工智能技术，其中20%的学生曾将人工智能用于完成老师布置的全部或部分任务)”以及文章开篇提到大学生广泛使用 AI 完成作业，随后转折指出教师对 AI 进入课堂的担忧 ——OECD 研究显示学生用科技越多成绩越差，学生易分心、缺乏批判性思维，且难以辨别虚假信息。核心围绕 “教师对 AI 影响学生学习能力的担忧” 展开。可知，这篇文章的主要观点是教师们对于人工智能对学生学习能力影响的担忧。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“With the spread of generative AI came new promises that it could change education, bring in an era of personalized student learning and reduce (减少) the work pressure for teachers.(随着生成式人工智能的普及，人们对其寄予了新的期望，认为它能够改变教育模式，开启个性化学生学习的时代，并减轻教师的工作压力)”，第三段“What worries the teachers is not only that their students are always distracted (分心) by the apps, but that they will not develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills and deep knowledge when quick answers are only a click away.(令老师们担忧的不仅是学生们总是被这些应用程序所分心，还在于当快速得到答案只需点击一下鼠标时，学生们就无法培养出批判性的思维能力和扎实的知识体系了)”以及but表示转折，可知，前文提到AI有望改变教育的“新承诺”，但后文转折“许多教师对将更多技术引入课堂的优势持‘合理的 skeptical态度’”，结合后文教师对学生分心、缺乏思考能力的担忧，可推断“skeptical”意为“怀疑的、质疑的”。故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A global OECD study found, for instance, that the more students use tech in schools, the worse their results.(例如，经合组织的一项全球性研究发现，学生在学校使用科技设备越多，他们的学习成绩就越差)”可知，技术使用量的增加会导致学习成绩的下降。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Where once teacher Clement would ask his class a question such as, “Where do you think the US stands in terms of GDP per capita?” and guide his students as they puzzled over the solution, now some student will have Googled the answer before the teacher has even finished his question.(过去，克莱门特老师会向学生们提出诸如“您认为美国的人均国内生产总值处于何种水平？”这样的问题，并引导学生们思考解决方案。但现在，一些学生甚至在老师还没说完问题之前就已经通过谷歌搜索找到了答案)”可知，当克莱门特在课堂上向学生提问时，有些学生甚至在他说完问题之前就会上网查找答案。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We know that once you are used to the digital world, the friction-filled real world feels harder to deal with. By the time we agree that our minds are no longer our own, that we simply cannot think clearly without tech assistance, how much of us will be left to fight?(我们知道，一旦你习惯了数字化的世界，充满摩擦的现实世界就会显得更加难以应对。当我们都认同自己的思维不再属于我们自己，认为没有科技辅助就无法清晰思考时，又有多少人会愿意继续坚持自己的想法呢？)”可知，过度依赖科技可能会损害我们的思维能力。故选A。 五、阅读表达（每题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题 The history of traffic lights dates back to the early 19th century in Britain. London was a busy city with horse-drawn carriages (马车). They often rushed into people, causing many accidents. At the same time, there was a fashion rule in London — women in red showed that they were married and green for unmarried. This gave people the idea for using red and green as traffic signs later. On December 10th, 1868, British mechanic (机械师) De Hart designed the world’s first traffic light with only red and green. A policeman had to pull a belt to switch the light: red meant “stop”, and green meant “go”. At first, it worked well and reduced accidents. However, this traffic light exploded (爆炸) after 23 days. The light was turned off, but the idea stayed alive. In 1914, electric traffic lights were first used in America. Red and green still did their jobs, then they were safer and easier to see. In 1927, a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US. He took cognizance of the fact that some drivers rushed when the light changed. “What if there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. That’s how the yellow light was born, meaning “get ready to stop.” Around the same time, an American policeman named William Potts created the first three-color traffic lights for all directions. They made crossroads much safer. These colors were not chosen by chance. Red is easy to see, like a fire alarm, so it means “danger-stop!” Yellow is a warning, like a sign that says “be careful — slow down!” Green, like a forest, tells us “safe to go!” Together, they form a common language that keeps safe every day. Great ideas come from everyday things. Whether traffic lights or something else, noticing and thinking “what if” can change the world! 51. What’s the title for the passage? (No more than 5 words) _______________________________________________ 52. How was the first traffic light switched in 1868? (No more than 8 words) _______________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 4? (1 word) _______________________________________________ 54. What’s the purpose of designing the yellow traffic light? (No more than 10 words) _______________________________________________ 55. According to the writer, is it likely for you to create great ideas? How can you do that? (No more than 20 words) _______________________________________________ 【答案】51. The History of Traffic Lights 52. By pulling a belt. 53. Noticed. 54. To slow people down and get ready to stop. 55. Yes, it is likely. By noticing everyday things and thinking “what if”. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通信号灯的发展历史及其颜色选择的原因。 【51题详解】 考查主旨大意。通读全文，结合第一段中“The history of traffic lights dates back to the early 19th century in Britain. (交通信号灯的历史可以追溯到19世纪初的英国)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了交通信号灯的发展历史，因此标题可以是“The History of Traffic Lights (交通信号灯的历史)”。故答案为The History of Traffic Lights 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“On December 10th, 1868, British mechanic (机械师) De Hart designed the world’s first traffic light with only red and green.A policeman had to pull a belt to switch the light (1868年12月10日，英国机械师德·哈特发明了世界首盏红绿双色交通信号灯。当时需要警察通过拉拽皮带进行灯光切换)”可知，1868年，第一盏交通信号灯是通过警察拉皮带切换的。故答案为By pulling a belt. 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段“In 1927, a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US. He took cognizance of the fact that some drivers rushed when the light changed. “What if there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. (1927年，一个名叫胡汝鼎的中国学生在美国学习。他took cognizance of有些司机在信号灯变化时冲过去这一事实。“如果有一种中间颜色能让人们慢下来呢？”他想)”可知，胡汝鼎注意到了有些司机抢红灯这一情况，所以才有了增一种颜色让人们慢下来的想法。由此推知，took cognizance of意为“注意到”。故答案为Noticed. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段““What if there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. That’s how the yellow light was born, meaning “get ready to stop.” (“如果有一种中间颜色能让人们慢下来呢？”他想。于是黄灯诞生了，意思是“准备停车”)”可知，设计黄灯的目的是让人们减速，准备停车。故答案为To slow people down and get ready to stop. 【55题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Great ideas come from everyday things. Whether traffic lights or something else, noticing and thinking “what if” can change the world! (伟大的想法来自日常事物。无论是交通信号灯还是其他东西，注意到并思考“如果……会怎样”可以改变世界！)”可知，作者认为注意到并思考“如果……会怎样”可以产生伟大的想法，因此我们也有可能产生伟大的想法，可以通过关注日常事物并思考“如果……会怎样”来做到这一点。故答案为Yes, it is likely. By noticing everyday things and thinking “what if”. 六、按照词或短语的正确形式填空，每空一词（每题1分，共10分） 56. This knowledge is ________ ________ (传递) through families. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. passed ②. down 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语、动词语态。句意：这些知识通过家庭传递下去。根据汉语提示“传递”可知，用固定短语pass down，句子描述的是客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语This knowledge与动词短语pass down之间为被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，用passed down，与is构成一般现在时的被动语态，故填passed down。 57.

(根据汉语提示完成句子） 【答案】in harmony with 【解析】 【详解】考查短语。句意：为了实现这个目标，我们必须相互信任，与其他国家和睦相处。结合汉语提示，可知此处用固定短语：in harmony with“与……和谐相处”，故填in harmony with。 58.

We still have plenty of time. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. Take ②. it ③. easy 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语和祈使句。句意：别着急！我们还有很多时间。根据汉语提示“别着急”可知，用固定短语take it easy，且本句为祈使句，动词take需用原形。句首单词，首字母需大写，故填Take it easy。 60. With all the work ______ (finish), they hurried back home for lunch. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】finished 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：所有的工作都做完了，他们匆匆回家吃午饭。分析句子可知，句中涉及“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，“finish”意为“完成”，动词词性，“work”和“finish”为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用“finish”的过去分词“finished”，作宾语补足语。故填finished。 61. Despite the bad weather, many volunteers ________ ________ ________ (冒着风雨) and took part in the campaign to raise money for the needy. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. braved ②. the ③. elements##weather 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语和动词时态。句意：尽管天气恶劣，许多志愿者还是冒着风雨参加了为困难群体筹款的活动。根据提示的汉语，表示“冒着风雨”为固定搭配brave the elements/weather，句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词，后半句的took为一般过去时，因此前半句的谓语动词也需用一般过去时，所以谓语动词为braved。故填①braved；②the；③elements/weather。 62.

When I told them the news, they all ________ ________ (盯着) me in surprise. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ① stared ②. at 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语及时态。句意：当我告诉他们这个消息时，他们都惊讶地盯着我。根据汉语提示“盯着”可知，空处应用动词短语stare at；由时间状语从句中的told可知，句子描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，stare的过去式为stared。故填①stared；②at。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天津市第十四中学高一上学期第二次月考 英语试卷 2025.12 一、听力（每题1分，共15分） 第一节听下面五段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1 What will the man do for the woman?

B When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists” — the kids who hadn’t really done art before — worked mostly with clay, while Kelly was a terrible sculptor. It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at — charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed — and was good at — and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said, “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it — it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I — I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented — Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up…” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 41.

With the spread of generative AI came new promises that it could change education, bring in an era of personalized student learning and reduce (减少) the work pressure for teachers. But many teachers were “rightly skeptical” about the advantages of introducing more technology into the classroom. A global OECD study found, for instance, that the more students use tech in schools, the worse their results. What worries the teachers is not only that their students are always distracted (分心) by the apps, but that they will not develop critical (批判性的) thinking skills and deep knowledge when quick answers are only a click away. Where once teacher Clement would ask his class a question such as, “Where do you think the US stands in terms of GDP per capita?” and guide his students as they puzzled over the solution, now some student will have Googled the answer before the teacher has even finished his question. They know students use ChatGPT all the time and get annoyed if they aren’t provided with a digital copy of their task, because then they must type rather than copy and paste the questions into an AI assistant or the Google search bar. “Being able to Google something and providing the right answer isn’t knowledge,” Clement says. The internet is already full of misdirection and misinformation, something that will only become worse as AI approaches and produces seemingly reasonable fakes, and he worries that young people are poorly equipped to discover it. Our brains love shortcut; it’s in our nature. But your brain also needs friction to learn. It needs to have a challenge. We know that once you are used to the digital world, the friction-filled real world feels harder to deal with. By the time we agree that our minds are no longer our own, that we simply cannot think clearly without tech assistance, how much of us will be left to fight? 46 What is the main idea of the passage? A. How students use AI to complete tasks. B. The advantages of AI in modern education. C. The development of AI technology in universities. D. Teachers’ worries about AI’s impact on students’ learning abilities. 47. What does the word ‘skeptical’ mean in the second paragraph? A. Angry and opposed B. Doubtful and questioning C. Curious and interested D. Enthusiastic and supportive 48. According to the OECD study, what is the relationship between technology use and student performance? A. Technology only helps in certain subjects. B. Technology use has no clear effect on student results. C. Increased technology use leads to worse learning performance. D. The more students use technology, the better their results become. 49. What happens now when Clement asks students a question in class, according to the passage? A. They argue about the topic using their knowledge. B. Many feel annoyed and ask for digital task copies. C. Students think deeply about the answer with his guide. D. Some students may search online for answers even before he finishes asking. 50. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Overuse of technology may harm our thinking ability. B. Our brains prefer digital shortcuts to real challenges. C. People should return to the real world completely. D. The digital world can provide enough challenge for deep learning. 五、阅读表达（每题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 The history of traffic lights dates back to the early 19th century in Britain. London was a busy city with horse-drawn carriages (马车). They often rushed into people, causing many accidents. At the same time, there was a fashion rule in London — women in red showed that they were married and green for unmarried. This gave people the idea for using red and green as traffic signs later. On December 10th, 1868, British mechanic (机械师) De Hart designed the world’s first traffic light with only red and green. A policeman had to pull a belt to switch the light: red meant “stop”, and green meant “go”. At first, it worked well and reduced accidents. However, this traffic light exploded (爆炸) after 23 days. The light was turned off, but the idea stayed alive. In 1914, electric traffic lights were first used in America. Red and green still did their jobs, then they were safer and easier to see. In 1927, a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US. He took cognizance of the fact that some drivers rushed when the light changed. “What if there’s a middle color to slow people down?” he thought. That’s how the yellow light was born, meaning “get ready to stop.” Around the same time, an American policeman named William Potts created the first three-color traffic lights for all directions. They made crossroads much safer. These colors were not chosen by chance. Red is easy to see, like a fire alarm, so it means “danger-stop!” Yellow is a warning, like a sign that says “be careful — slow down!” Green, like a forest, tells us “safe to go!” Together, they form a common language that keeps safe every day. Great ideas come from everyday things. Whether traffic lights or something else, noticing and thinking “what if” can change the world! 51. What’s the title for the passage?
