A smart home uses the Internet to 1 different home devices (设备), like lights, air conditioners and security cameras to make our daily lives 2 and safer. In the past, we had to turn on the lights or open the door by hand, but now we can control them with just our voices or a phone. 3 , if your hands are full of shopping bags, you needn’t 4 to open the door; you can just say “Open the door” to the smart lock. 5 , when you are far from home, you can use your phone to 6 if you left the lights on, and if so, you’ll turn them off at once. This makes people feel much more relaxed because they don’t have to 7 forgetting things. Furthermore, smart homes are very good for 8 energy. The system can learn when you usually go to sleep or leave for work. So, it will automatically (自动地) turn off the lights and lower the heat when 9 is in the room.

These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls.Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline.But landlines only worked at home.What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ____②____           People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards.But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better.But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ____③____            It’s easy to take photos today.People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them.To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film.This allowed you to take about 30 photos.After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop.The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old.What do you think will be next to disappear? 1．What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Toys.

In a corn maze (玉米迷宫), people can follow miles of winding (弯曲的) paths and run into lots of dead ends before they finally find their way out. For many farmers, showing families the way out can give the farm a lot of extra money. Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s. In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz! During the opening weekend, 6,000 visitors came to get lost in the maze. Charging (收费) only $5 per person, Mr. Frantz earned almost $32,000 in two weeks. The creation was named the world’s largest maze by Guinness World Records! Since then, thousands of corn mazes have been created around the world, and several have broken that record. “Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),” Don Frantz said. “People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.” About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa. That’s where owner Adam Hohl once got lost in his own maze as he led a family the way out. Today, Harvestville Farm’s corn maze is as big as nine football fields. Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 1．When did simple corn mazes appear? ________________________________________________ 2．Who made the first big corn maze? ________________________________________________ 3．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? ________________________________________________ 4．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? ________________________________________________ 5．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? ________________________________________________ 九、阅读综合。 Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. ①每天晚上，我妈妈在家里翻阅杂志。Can we imagine life without paper or printing? Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. ②So, few people had the chance to learn to read. Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century. Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast. A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms. Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Let’s wait and see. 1．请将①处划线句子译为英语。 ________________________________________________ 2．请将②处划线句子译为汉语。 ________________________________________________ 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指)? ________________________________________________ 4．When was the Internet introduced to China? ________________________________________________ 5．在文中找出与下面所给句子意思相近的句子。 The Internet is still new, but it is getting bigger very fast. ________________________________________________ 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Great inventions 课时5 Lesson 5 Refrigerator timeline 分层作业 参考答案 一、单词默写 freeze；refrigerator；energy 二、词组默写 1.use sth. to do sth.；2. do an experiment on sth；3.all year round；4.so ...that...；5.check out；6.be related to 三、根据要求完成句子 1.use; to measure；2.doing an experiment on；3.all year round；4.so; that；5.check out；6.is related to；7.use; to water；8.all year round 四、单项选择 1.C；2.A；3.C；4.A；5.D 五、选词填空 1．that；2．are used；3．but；4．widely；5．First；6．tasks；7．as；8．how；9．them；10．easier 六、完形填空 1．A；2．B；3．B；4．D；5．B；6．C；7．D；8．A；9．C；10．C 七、阅读理解 1．B；2．B；3．A；4．C；5．D 八、阅读表达 1．In the 1980s. 2．Don Frantz. 3．About 30,000 visitors. 4．They connect with their roots. 5．Families make lasting memories there. 九、阅读综合 1．Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. 2．因此，几乎没有人有机会学习阅读。 3．To produce books more quickly and cheaply. 4．In the twentieth century. 5．Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Great inventions 课时5 Lesson 5 Refrigerator timeline 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 词汇 freeze/fri:z/v.冰冻;(使)结冰 refrigerator/riˈfrɪdʒəreɪtə/n.

These are phones that people plug ( 插入 ) into their living room walls.”可知围绕固定电话、付费电话这类通话相关的旧设备展开，对应标题d.；②段“But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks.”可知内容围绕储存用的软盘展开，对应标题a；③段“It’s easy to take photos today...But photos used to be expensive,”可知围绕胶卷拍照展开，对应标题c。 3．文章第四段“The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information!”（第一批软盘体积大、价格昂贵，实用性不高，每张仅能存储175KB的信息），可知第一批软盘价格很高，符合A选项的描述，B“很有用”、C“能存储大量信息”、D“方便携带”都和原文描述不符。 4．A选项：原文内容，过去用胶卷拍照需要购买胶卷、送店冲洗、几天后才能取片，并不方便，因此A错误； B选项：第三段“But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone!”，可知固定电话只能在家使用，外出需要找付费电话，因此B错误； C选项：全文介绍了从过去到现在人们使用物品的变化，可以推出“科技发展改变人们生活”的结论，因此C正确； D选项：付费电话是公共设施，多数家庭安装的是固定电话，因此D错误。 5．第一段“Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.”以及文章结构可知本文主要介绍一些我们过去使用的东西。 八、阅读表达。 Have you ever considered walking through a giant puzzle?

Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 1．When did simple corn mazes appear? ________________________________________________ 2．Who made the first big corn maze? ________________________________________________ 3．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? ________________________________________________ 4．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? ________________________________________________ 5．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? ________________________________________________ 【答案】1．In the 1980s. 2．Don Frantz. 3．About 30,000 visitors. 4．They connect with their roots. 5．Families make lasting memories there. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了玉米迷宫的历史，起源以及人们对于玉米迷宫的喜爱的原因，同时举例介绍了Harvestville Farm的玉米迷宫的经营情况。 1．根据第二段中“Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s.”可知，简单的玉米迷宫在20世纪80年代就开始出现了，故填In the 1980s. 2．根据第二段中“In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz!”可知，1993年，第一个由公众享用的大玉米迷宫由Don Frantz在安维尔制作，故填Don Frantz. 3．根据第五段中“About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa.”可知，每年约有3万名游客来到Harvestville Farm，故填About 30,000 visitors. 4．根据第四段“‘Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),’ Don Frantz said. ‘People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.’”可知，Don Frantz认为玉米迷宫帮助人们与他们的根相连，人们被真实和自然的东西所吸引，故填They connect with their roots. 5．根据最后一段中“When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.”可知，Hohl认为当看到家庭在农场里玩得很开心，就知道他们正在创造一段将持续一生的回忆，故填Families make lasting memories there. 九、阅读综合。 Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. ①每天晚上，我妈妈在家里翻阅杂志。Can we imagine life without paper or printing? Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. ②So, few people had the chance to learn to read. Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century. Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast. A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms. Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Let’s wait and see. 1．请将①处划线句子译为英语。 ________________________________________________ 2．请将②处划线句子译为汉语。 ________________________________________________ 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指)? ________________________________________________ 4．When was the Internet introduced to China? ________________________________________________ 5．在文中找出与下面所给句子意思相近的句子。 The Internet is still new, but it is getting bigger very fast. ________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. 2．因此，几乎没有人有机会学习阅读。 3．To produce books more quickly and cheaply. 4．In the twentieth century. 5．Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了纸张、印刷术和互联网在信息传播历史中的关键作用及其演变关系，并探讨了传统印刷在数字时代的未来。 1．每天晚上：Every evening，时间短语；我妈妈：my mother，第三人称单数作主语；翻阅：looks through，谓语动词，第三人称单数作主语，用单数；杂志：magazines，作宾语，复数形式表泛指；在家里：at home，作地点状语置于句末。故填Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. 2．So：因此，表因果逻辑；few people：几乎没有人，few表否定含义；had the chance：有机会，固定搭配；to learn to read：学习阅读。故填：因此，几乎没有人有机会学习阅读。 3．根据“Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.”可知，此处“it”是形式宾语，真正宾语是后置的不定式短语（to produce books more quickly and cheaply），避免句子头重脚轻。故填To produce books more quickly and cheaply. 4．根据“…the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century”可知，互联网在20世纪被引入中国。故填In the twentieth century. 5．所给句“The Internet is still new, but it is getting bigger very fast.”表示“互联网仍然很新，但它正以极快的速度发展壮大。”原文中“Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast.”与其意思相近，关键词对应：“still new” = “still young”，“getting bigger very fast” = “growing very fast”。故填Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
