So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No. 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work took first prize in a national competition. The goal of this competition is to nurture creative thinking—it does this by encouraging young people to solve social problems. The invention was also given a national patent (专利). When connected to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are made of magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to develop a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2,000 yuan.” After making their first machine, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it based on the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be widely used in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 49. Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A. To get a national patent. B. To hold a reading competition. C. To encourage kids to solve social problems. D. To help the blind have more Braille books. 50. The underlined word “nurture” means “_________” in Paragraph 1. A. develop B. pack C. imagine D. understand 51. Which of the following is TRUE about the new Braille reader? A. It is big and expensive. B. It is the first to use magnets. C. It needs to be connected to a phone. D. It is designed especially for old people. 52. What can we learn from the passage? A. Feng and Meng solved many social problems together. B. Feng and Meng have set up their own business as a team. C. Feng and Meng became very popular at home and abroad. D. Feng and Meng have high hopes for their Braille reader. 【答案】49. D 50. A 51. B 52. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了太原三十七中两名学生发现盲文书籍短缺且陈旧问题，发明首款磁吸式盲文阅读器并改进，希望帮助更多盲人的故事。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Feng Boyao and Meng Shuqi found that their city library didn’t have enough Braille books (盲文书籍) for blind people and many of the Braille books were outdated. So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem.”可知，两位学生发明新型盲文阅读器是为了解决盲文书籍不足和过时的问题，从而帮助盲人获得更多盲文书籍。故选D。 【50题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第1段“The goal of this competition is to nurture creative thinking—it does this by encouraging young people to solve social problems.”可知，竞赛的目标是通过鼓励年轻人解决社会问题来“培养”创造性思维。因此，“nurture”在此意为“发展、培养”。故选A。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets.”可知，这款新盲文阅读器是首个使用磁铁的，所以B项描述正确。故选B。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后1段“We hope the invention will be widely used in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,”可知，冯和孟对他们的盲文阅读器抱有很高的期望，希望它能帮助更多人。故选D。 C The Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas is one of the largest deserts in North America. The winters there are cool and summers are very hot. This area is also home to a mysterious phenomenon (现象) called the Marfa Lights. The Marfa Lights are bright lights that appear in the night sky all of a sudden and then fly to faraway places and disappear. They are about the size of basketballs and are often described as white, blue, yellow, red, or other colors. The lights sometimes even get close to people’s houses. One woman who lived on a farm told the story of what she experienced one night. She was in bed and suddenly she saw the lights shining through her bedroom window. She watched them change color for a few minutes. Finally, they went away. Pilots who used to train in the desert in the 1940s also reported that they once saw these mysterious lights. What causes this phenomenon? People have different opinions on this. A popular explanation is the lights might have something to do with headlights from cars on the road nearby. Scientific research also suggests that some of the lights are caused by the refraction (折射) of light between layers (层) of air that have different temperatures. However, not all of these lights can be explained so easily. Anyway, people will continue to study the lights to find out where they come from. No matter what these lights really are, they are as mysterious today as when they first appeared. But it is certain that the mystery behind them will be solved one day. 53. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Marfa Lights? A. The color. B. The place. C. The speed. D. The size. 54. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. People know the cause of the Marfa Lights clearly. B. The Marfa Lights come from cars on the road nearby. C. The Marfa Lights are caused by the refraction. D. No one has been able to explain the cause of the Marfa Lights so far. 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. Experiences of the Marfa Lights B. Causes of the Marfa Lights C.

Second 67. write 68. them 69. correctly 70. find 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了问路的一些礼貌方式。 【61题详解】 句意：他们不知道一个新地方的路，并且他们的害羞阻止他们问路。根据“Many people often meet such difficult situations.”并结合备选词汇可知，困难的处境表示到一个新地方不知道路，但又羞于问路。“their他们的”，形容词性物主代词，后加名词。因此填名词形式的“shyness”。故填shyness。 【62题详解】 句意：有一些关于如何礼貌问路的建议。根据“First, we must know”“Second, we often need to”“All the above are polite and useful ways”并结合备选词汇可知，以下是在讲如何礼貌问路的方式，因此此处应填有一些“建议advice”，为不可数名词。故填advice。 【63题详解】 句意：首先，我们必须知道一些重要的有用的表达，例如“打扰一下”“你能……吗？”“非常感谢”。根据“such as ‘Excuse me’, ‘Could you please…’ and ‘Thanks a lot’”并结合备选词汇可知，这些都是有礼貌的表达，根据前文中的“some”可知，此处要填可数名词复数。故填expressions。 【64题详解】 句意：接下来，“你能……吗？”经常被用在询问陌生人时。根据“people also use it”可知，人们也用，与上句并列，此处也应该用use。该句主语为“Could you please…”与谓语“use”为被动关系，被动语态的形式为“be+动词过去分词”，因此填used。故填used。  【65题详解】 这也是礼貌的和陌生人握手。根据“shake hands with strangers.”并结合备选词汇可知，与陌生人握手也是一个礼貌的行为。故填polite。 【66题详解】 第二，我们经常需要带一些有用的东西。根据“First, we must know some important and useful expressions,”并结合备选词汇可知，此处需要使用“第二”，因此要用second。位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Second。 【67题详解】 我们能写下关于这个地方的重要的话，然后展示给那些我们想要寻求帮助的陌生人。根据“Sometimes a pen can help us to reach the right place.”并结合备选词汇可知，一支笔帮我们到达正确的地方，笔能发挥的作用就是写下重要的话，因此此处填“写”，can+动词原型。故填write。 【68题详解】 我们能写下关于这个地方的重要的话，然后展示给那些我们想要寻求帮助的陌生人。根据“We can write down the important words about the place”并结合备选词汇可知，我们可以把写下的话展示给陌生人，因此此处要填“写下的话”，可以用代词they指代，由于放在动词之后，应填代词的宾格形式“them”。故填them。 【69题详解】 他们上面的GPS可以帮助我们正确地找到路。根据“The GPS on them can help us find the way”并结合备选词汇可知，GPS能帮我们找到正确的路，此处应填“correct”，由于放在句末修饰整个句子，应填“正确的”副词“correctly”。故填correctly。 【70题详解】 以上都是礼貌和有用的找到新地方的路的方式，这些技巧会帮助你很多。根据“The GPS on them can help us find the way”并结合备选词汇可知，这些方式都是为了找到达新地方的路，此处应填“find找到”，to+动词原型。故填find。 Ⅶ. 任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 (共5小题，计10分) Chopsticks come from China. Though simple and little, they are a great invention in the history of humans. During the Yao and Shun times, Shun asked Yu to control the flood (洪水). One day, Yu took a boat to an island, and he was hungry. He used an earthen (陶制的) pot to cook meat. After the meat was well-done, he didn’t want to waste time waiting for it to cool down, so he took two branches (树枝) to pick up the meat from the soup. They worked very well. Gradually, he was good at picking up food with small sticks. In this way, the first kind of chopsticks was born. Some people think that Confucius pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing at table. We enjoy our delicious food with our family members or friends. Whenever we use chopsticks at the table, we feel the world is peaceful. The chopsticks are made of different kinds of things. There are more than 200 kinds of chopsticks now. Among them, the bamboo chopsticks are most widely used. “A single chopstick can be broken easily; ten pairs of chopsticks hold tightly (紧紧地) together…” The song is popular with many people, and it always encourages people to work together. 71.

So, they teamed up to help the blind by fixing the problem. Feng and Meng both studied at No. 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work took first prize in a national competition. The goal of this competition is to nurture creative thinking—it does this by encouraging young people to solve social problems. The invention was also given a national patent (专利). When connected to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are made of magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets. “We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to develop a user-friendly product, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2,000 yuan.” After making their first machine, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it based on the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the amount of space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be widely used in the future to help those blind people who can’t afford the Braille reader now,” Meng told Taiyuan News. 49. Why did the two students invent a new kind of Braille reader? A. To get a national patent. B. To hold a reading competition. C. To encourage kids to solve social problems. D. To help the blind have more Braille books. 50. The underlined word “nurture” means “_________” in Paragraph 1. A. develop B. pack C. imagine D. understand 51. Which of the following is TRUE about the new Braille reader? A. It is big and expensive. B. It is the first to use magnets. C. It needs to be connected to a phone. D. It is designed especially for old people. 52. What can we learn from the passage? A. Feng and Meng solved many social problems together. B. Feng and Meng have set up their own business as a team. C. Feng and Meng became very popular at home and abroad. D. Feng and Meng have high hopes for their Braille reader. C The Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas is one of the largest deserts in North America. The winters there are cool and summers are very hot. This area is also home to a mysterious phenomenon (现象) called the Marfa Lights. The Marfa Lights are bright lights that appear in the night sky all of a sudden and then fly to faraway places and disappear. They are about the size of basketballs and are often described as white, blue, yellow, red, or other colors. The lights sometimes even get close to people’s houses. One woman who lived on a farm told the story of what she experienced one night. She was in bed and suddenly she saw the lights shining through her bedroom window. She watched them change color for a few minutes. Finally, they went away. Pilots who used to train in the desert in the 1940s also reported that they once saw these mysterious lights. What causes this phenomenon? People have different opinions on this. A popular explanation is the lights might have something to do with headlights from cars on the road nearby. Scientific research also suggests that some of the lights are caused by the refraction (折射) of light between layers (层) of air that have different temperatures. However, not all of these lights can be explained so easily. Anyway, people will continue to study the lights to find out where they come from. No matter what these lights really are, they are as mysterious today as when they first appeared. But it is certain that the mystery behind them will be solved one day. 53. What does the first paragraph tell us about the Marfa Lights? A. The color. B. The place. C. The speed. D. The size. 54 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. People know the cause of the Marfa Lights clearly. B. The Marfa Lights come from cars on the road nearby. C. The Marfa Lights are caused by the refraction. D. No one has been able to explain the cause of the Marfa Lights so far. 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. Experiences of the Marfa Lights B. Causes of the Marfa Lights C. Mystery of the Marfa Lights D.
