He 1 (move) to Botswana with his family seven years ago. “I can see only a few kinds of fruit and vegetables at supermarkets here. They don’t look good, 2 their prices are high,” Wu said. Because of the desert climate (气候) in Botswana, it is difficult 3 farmers there to grow fruit and vegetables. Botswana has to buy lots of fruit and vegetables from other 4 (country), such as South Africa. Botswana has been working with China to solve this problem. In July last year, Botswana started a program to grow China’s water-saving rice. Knowing it, Wu wanted to help with local agriculture (当地的农业) in his way. “I wanted to 5 an app. It can help local farmers to 6 the production,” Wu said. Wu has a good brain and he has made his dream come true by 7 (develop) a new app called Farm Assistant. The app can teach farmers how to grow vegetables like potatoes, onions, carrots and cabbages. Farmers who use the app can click (点击) on a picture of a vegetable to see 8 (it) seed (种子) price, watering needs, selling price, etc. After the farmers plant the seeds, the app can remind them what they need to do at different times. Wu hopes his app can help farmers to work 9 (easy). What 10 useful app and what a smart boy! 阅读下面短文，根据语境或单词提示，在每个空格内填入一个适合的词，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 We can see bottles almost everywhere. Can you imagine they can be sent into the sky? A science teacher and his students made a rocket with bottles and launched (发射) it 1 (success). The teacher is called Wang Yin. He said that the school’s learning theme (主题) of this year was 2 space and humans. To let students experience the launching process of spacecraft, Wang decided to help his students make a water rocket. The water rocket is 3 (push) by air and water. It isn’t a new idea, but what Wang wanted to make was a two-stage rocket. It wasn’t 4 easy job for the students. But they showed great interest and did all the work with 5 (excited). They continued with the project even after they had failed many 6 (time). On December 17th, 2023, Wang and his students made it. Their rocket 7 (rise) to a height (高度) of over one hundred meters. Later that day, Wang posted a video about the launch online. In just half a day, over 13 million people watched it. They all spoke highly of 8 he did. Wang said, “My students are crazy about it. It’s really 9 (mean)”. He hoped he could help develop students’ interest in science and 10 (invent) instead of simply teaching them knowledge. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词（有提示词的，填入所给单词的正确形式）。 Who invented films? It’s difficult to say. Lots of people played a part 1 the development of the cinema. A man 2 (name) Muybridge made the first moving picture in 1878. It was a film of a horse 3 (run) and it was only a few seconds long. By 1895, other people had invented all kinds of machines for showing moving pictures, but many of these could only be watched by one person at 4 time. Thomas Edison was one of the 5 (one) to show very short films to audiences(观众) of 20 or more people. His films showed acrobats (杂技演员)and dancers performing, or everyday events like a man sneezing. At first, films were only a few minutes long. They were black and white and silent. They were usually documentaries about different places or news events, or comedies showing people falling over and making 6 (fun) faces. Later, they became 7 (long) stories, but there was still no sound. Instead, there might be a 8 (music) playing the piano in the hall while the film was shown. Musicals were probably the most popular kind of film throughout the 1930s and 1940s. A very famous 9 (act) and singer at that time was Shirley Temple—she was only a five-year-old girl 10 everyone loved watching her sing and dance. The very first film to be in colour and to have sound was shown in 1927. It was called The Jazz Singer. From then on, more and more films were produced in colour, and almost all films had sound. 二、完形填空 China is an ancient country with a long history and many amazing discoveries. One of the most important inventions that changed the world was the compass. For centuries, people around the world have been 1 this great invention from ancient China. The earliest compass, known as “Sinan”, was invented during the Han Dynasty. It was a spoon-shaped piece of lodestone (a natural magnet) placed on a bronze plate. The handle of the spoon would always point 2 . This was a fantastic discovery at that time. Later, during the Song Dynasty, the compass was 3 . People began to use a steel needle which was rubbed with a lodestone to magnetise (使磁化) it. This needle was then placed on a straw in a bowl of water, and it could point south easily. Before the compass, sailors often found it difficult to find their way on the open sea when the weather was bad and they couldn’t see the sun or stars. They were afraid of sailing too far and getting lost. The invention of the compass 4 all of this. It allowed sailors to know their direction in any weather. With the help of the compass, Chinese explorers like Zheng He could sail to faraway places. The knowledge of the compass later 5 to the rest of the world through trade and travel. It played a key role in the Age of Exploration in Europe. It helped explorers like Christopher Columbus discover new lands. This great invention from China truly made long sea voyages and global exploration 6 . It connected different parts of the world and changed history forever. 1．A．proud of B．worried about C．interested in D．surprised at 2．A．east B．west C．south D．north 3．A．forgotten B．improved C．protected D．described 4．A．started B．changed C．recorded D．repeated 5．A．sold B．returned C．spread D．lent 6．A．impossible B．popular C．necessary D．possible A mobile phone app has recently become very popular at the Middle School Attached to Guangzhou University. The app’s name is Health Helper. Put your weight, height and 1 into the app, and it will give you suggestions on how to get healthier. 2 , the app is not designed by a company but by two Junior 3 boys from the school. The two boys are Yang Chengxi and Yang Zhenglin, both 14 years old. They learned to design apps by taking part in the school’s app-making course, which started last year. “Electronic products are becoming increasingly popular,” said Wang Xiaopeng, the teacher of the app-making course. “It’s impossible to block (阻隔) students from them. So why not lead them to use it in a 3 way?” The course has 4 many students including Yang Chengxi and Yang Zhenglin. As cellphone game lovers, the two students study hard on their app-making project. “It is much cooler to design a game than just to play a game,” said Yang Chengxi. They decided to create an app to keep healthy because obesity (肥胖) has become a problem for many teenagers. They searched for a lot of health information on the Internet, put them in the app and wrote simple programmes to make it work. 5 the app-making software, the two boys finished their Health Helper app after three weeks of hard work. The taste of 6 is exciting. After Health Helper, the two now plan to go a step further. They are working on a robot that can be controlled by a cell phone’s Bluetooth.

Wrong idea number 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already 2 . The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make innovation 3 . Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a unique talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart 4 for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t 5 when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!” Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always 6 people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.

Hong’s team made DARwIn’s design free for anyone to use. They 6 many projects using the design so far. And they consider it 7 gift to the robotics community. “Many people only want to see our successes and not the failures that came before those, 8 failure is simply a stepping stone in developing new technology. If you’re too afraid of failure, then you only get to walk on the safer side, and then 9 no innovation (创新),” said Hong. “I tell my students 10 breaking the robot.

Now a special curtain wifi make sure you cut it down to four minutes. The curtain was specially designed for those who spend long time in the bathroom. Elisabeth Buecher, from London has created the product to force people to change their water-wasting habits. The shower curtain was named Spiky, and it has soft plastic spikes. The spikes hang on the wall during the shower, but after you spend four minutes washing up, the spikes will fill with air, and kick you out as the shower becomes an uncomfortable experience. Spiky has a sensor (传感器) , and it causes the colorful spikes to stand up outward after reaching the four-minute limit. The spikes won’t make you feel painful, but you can’t stand in the shower anymore because the spikes take up all the space. You have to get out and stop using too much water. Buecher calls Spiky the “green soldier” because it aims to get people to save water. It has successfully started a debate around the water issues and made people pay attention to how much water they are using. The curtain is not only a product, but also a piece of art. Buecher said, I would love to develop it into a commercial (商业化的) product. People get excited about Spiky for different reasons: design, ecology, education and art. 1．Spiky is ________.

Here’s what we found. One of the biggest changes is that these headphones can fold. The old model could not fold, which made them hard to carry. Now they fit into a smaller case, making them perfect for travel. Sony also made the headband wider, which makes the headphones much more comfortable. This helps spread the weight better across your head. The battery life is good but not amazing. You can listen for up to 30 hours with noise cancellation on, or 40 hours with it off. The best part is that they charge (充电) very quickly. Just three minutes of charging gives you 3 hours of listening time. You can keep listening while the headphones are charging. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. Sony added four more microphones to make a total of 12 around the headphones. This helps block outside noise much better. The headphones work especially well on airplanes, blocking engine noise while you enjoy your music. The sound quality is very impressive. The bass sounds are deep and powerful, while the higher sounds are clear and detailed. Music sounds rich and full, with great balance between low and high sounds. Whether you listen to rock music, classical pieces, or podcasts, everything sounds amazing. The headphones handle different types of audio content perfectly, from quiet voices to loud drums. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are excellent. They are more comfortable, easier to carry, and sound better than many other headphones. They cost more money than basic headphones, but the quality and features make them worth buying if you love good audio. 1．Why can people carry the new headphones easily? A．they can fold B．the headbands are wider C．they are lighter D．they cancel a lot of noise 2．How long can you use the headphones if you turn on noise cancellation? A．3 hours. B．12 hours. C．30 hours.

Garth thought it was perfect weather to test his new invention for the first time—his Umbrella Hat. Did it keep the rain off? Did the wind blow the hat? After a few minutes, he was happy. His invention kept him dry and left his hands free. Soon, everyone would want one! Then his heart sank. On the other side of the street were the Barker Boys. Garth turned quickly to run back home, but it was too late. The three boys soon stood around him. Todd, the biggest brother pulled the Umbrella Hat off Garth’s head. “What is THIS?” he said angrily. “It’s an Umbrella Hat,” Garth said with a small voice. “You wear it when it rains…” “Who would want something like that?” Todd laughed loudly. He threw the hat onto the wet ground and three of them went away, still laughing. With tears in his eyes, Garth picked up his invention from the ground. Maybe the horrible Todd was right… Suddenly, he looked up and saw a lady’s worried face. “Are you okay?” she asked. Then she saw the Umbrella Hat in Garth’s hand. It was now broken and dirty. “What is that?” “It’s my Umbrella Hat. I made it myself,” said Garth. He waited for her to laugh like the boys did. To his surprise, the woman didn’t laugh, but started to ask him many questions about the Umbrella Hat and how he made it. Finally, she said, “Keep inventing. One day, you will make something truly amazing.” “And you have given me a great idea,” she continued. “I own a gadget (新奇小玩意) shop called Gadgets4U. I would like to...” Garth could not believe it. Gadgets4U was one of his favorite places in the world. The idea of having his invention in that wonderful shop was very exciting. He hugged the lady and ran home to invent something fantastic for her competition. 1．What was the name of Garth’s new invention? 2．How can Garth’s new invention help people on rainy days? 3．What did Todd think of Garth’s new invention? 4．How did Garth feel after talking to Todd? 5．What did the woman do to show her interest in Garth's invention? 6．What was the woman’s great idea? Complete her words. “I own a gadget shop called Gadgets4U. I would like to…” Read the passage and answer the following questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Some trains produce thick clouds of black smoke as they travel. They smell bad and are harmful to the environment. But luckily, they will soon be a thing of the past. In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with biodiesel (生物柴油). Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food. Biodiesel can power diesel engines. It is better for the environment than regular diesel. Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train (敞篷观光列车) in Miyazaki Prefecture (宫崎县) in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021. The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white. While the train is moving, its conductors use bubble machines to create bubbles along the way. The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes. It travels through mountains, tunnels and rice fields. Its fuel is powerful enough to pull the train up high mountains. The train’s biodiesel costs about the same as regular diesel. Cooking oil provides about ninety percent of the train’s fuel. The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy. The railway company works with another company to run the train. They buy the used cooking oil and leftover noodle soup from some restaurants. The fat from the soup and the oil are refined into biodiesel. Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away. The biodiesel train reuses food waste and cuts down on harmful smoke. How useful it is! 1．According to the article, what can biodiesel be made from? 2．How long has the open-air sightseeing train been powered by biodiesel? 3．How long does the sightseeing train ride last? 4．What color is the open-air sightseeing train? 5．Why does the smoke from the open-air sightseeing train smell yummy? 6．Why does the biodiesel have to be used right away? 六、选词填空 A．eagerly  B．developed  C． conditions  D．extremely  E. object  F. map Did you know that there are many other kinds of robots? Let’s meet some of these “bots” and see what they do. Social robots are very popular. Engineers 1 a robot called Pepper. It can recognise human emotions and even change its behaviour to match the mood of the person it is interacting with. Pepper could tell stories, play games, and was so popular that it sold out in just one minute! Medical robots are 2 important. With a medical robot, a doctor can operate on a patient from several feet away. The robot makes surgery more accurate and helps doctors deal with difficult medical 3 better. Domestic robots—robots that help clean your house—are also popular. Many robots can vacuum the floor for you. The Botvac, for example, uses lasers to scan and 4 a room before choosing the best way to clean it. If it meets a/an 5 , it goes around it. And if you don’t like gardening, the Robomow will cut the grass for you, keeping your lawn tidy. What will future “bots” do next? Maybe they will help in schools, farms, or even under the sea. A．discussed    B．familiar    C． rarely   D．unlikely   E. teamwork No great invention comes into being by chance. Curiosity drives many young inventors. A group of middle school students, curious about how to reduce water waste at school, came up with a great idea. Problems that students are 1 with like dripping taps during hand-washing inspired their invention. With good 2 , they turned this idea into a practical device: a sensor-controlled faucet (水龙头) that shuts off automatically. Each member did their part—some researched water-saving tech, others designed the device, and others tested it. We 3 hear about successful inventors working alone, and this group is no exception. They 4 , adjusted, and helped each other through difficulties. Their invention cut the school’s water use by 30%. From the story, we can learn that it is 5 to create a really useful invention through individual effort. 七、书面表达 1．科技的发展日新月异，请你以“I want to invent ________”为题，展开想象写一篇短文，谈谈你想发明什么，描述这样东西以及发明它的意义。短文不少于60词。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．请你以“The greatest invention”为题，根据以下提示，写一篇英语短文，60个词左右。 Suggestions: 1.

It’s difficult to say. Lots of people played a part 1 the development of the cinema. A man 2 (name) Muybridge made the first moving picture in 1878. It was a film of a horse 3 (run) and it was only a few seconds long. By 1895, other people had invented all kinds of machines for showing moving pictures, but many of these could only be watched by one person at 4 time. Thomas Edison was one of the 5 (one) to show very short films to audiences(观众) of 20 or more people. His films showed acrobats (杂技演员)and dancers performing, or everyday events like a man sneezing. At first, films were only a few minutes long. They were black and white and silent. They were usually documentaries about different places or news events, or comedies showing people falling over and making 6 (fun) faces. Later, they became 7 (long) stories, but there was still no sound. Instead, there might be a 8 (music) playing the piano in the hall while the film was shown. Musicals were probably the most popular kind of film throughout the 1930s and 1940s. A very famous 9 (act) and singer at that time was Shirley Temple—she was only a five-year-old girl 10 everyone loved watching her sing and dance. The very first film to be in colour and to have sound was shown in 1927. It was called The Jazz Singer. From then on, more and more films were produced in colour, and almost all films had sound. 【答案】 1．in 2．named 3．running 4．a 5．first 6．funny 7．longer 8．musician 9．actress 10．but 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了电影的发展历程，包括早期发明、不同阶段特点，如无声到有声、黑白到彩色等变化。 1．句意：很多人都在电影的发展中起到了作用。根据“played a part”可知，此处是固定搭配“play a part in”，表示“在……中起作用”，故填in。 2．句意：一个名叫迈布里奇的人在1878年制作了第一部动态影像。根据“a man”和“...Muybridge”可知，此处表示“被叫做……的人”，用过去分词作后置定语，故填named。 3．句意：那是一部马奔跑的影片，而且只有几秒钟长。根据“a film of a horse”可知，此处表示“马正在奔跑的影片”，用现在分词作后置定语表主动进行，故填running。 4．句意：到1895年，其他人已经发明了各种各样的放映活动画面的机器，但其中许多机器一次只能供一个人观看。根据“only be watched by one person”可知，此处是固定搭配“at a time”，表示“一次”，故填a。 5．句意：托马斯·爱迪生是最早向20人或更多观众展示超短影片的人之一。“one of the+序数词+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”，“one”的序数词是“first”，故填first。 6．句意：它们通常是关于不同地方或新闻事件的纪录片，或者是展示人们摔倒和做滑稽表情的喜剧。根据“making”和“faces”可知，此处是固定搭配“make funny faces”，表示“做鬼脸”，故填funny。 7．句意：后来它们变成了更长的故事片，但仍然没有声音。根据“At first, films were only a few minutes long.”可知，此处与起初对比，需用形容词比较级，“long”的比较级是“longer”，故填longer。 8．句意：相反，影片放映时，大厅里可能会有一位音乐家弹钢琴。根据“playing the piano”可知，此处指“音乐家”，“music”对应的职业名词是“musician”，空前有“a”，用单数，故填musician。 9．句意：当时一位非常著名的演员兼歌手是秀兰·邓波儿——她当时只是个五岁的小女孩，但每个人都喜欢看她唱歌跳舞。根据“singer”和“Shirley Temple”可知，此处指“演员”，“act”对应的职业名词是“actor/actress”，秀兰·邓波儿是女性，用“actress”，故填actress。 10．句意：当时一位非常著名的演员兼歌手是秀兰·邓波儿——她当时只是个五岁的小女孩，但每个人都喜欢看她唱歌跳舞。根据“she was only a five-year-old girl”和“everyone loved watching her sing and dance”可知，此处表转折关系，用连词“but”，故填but。 二、完形填空 China is an ancient country with a long history and many amazing discoveries. One of the most important inventions that changed the world was the compass. For centuries, people around the world have been 1 this great invention from ancient China. The earliest compass, known as “Sinan”, was invented during the Han Dynasty. It was a spoon-shaped piece of lodestone (a natural magnet) placed on a bronze plate. The handle of the spoon would always point 2 . This was a fantastic discovery at that time. Later, during the Song Dynasty, the compass was 3 . People began to use a steel needle which was rubbed with a lodestone to magnetise (使磁化) it. This needle was then placed on a straw in a bowl of water, and it could point south easily. Before the compass, sailors often found it difficult to find their way on the open sea when the weather was bad and they couldn’t see the sun or stars. They were afraid of sailing too far and getting lost. The invention of the compass 4 all of this. It allowed sailors to know their direction in any weather. With the help of the compass, Chinese explorers like Zheng He could sail to faraway places. The knowledge of the compass later 5 to the rest of the world through trade and travel. It played a key role in the Age of Exploration in Europe. It helped explorers like Christopher Columbus discover new lands. This great invention from China truly made long sea voyages and global exploration 6 .

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the 1 . Wrong idea number 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already 2 . The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make innovation 3 . Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a unique talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart 4 for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”! Very successful creators don’t 5 when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!” Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always 6 people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here is an example of a young inventor: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. 1．A．truth B．cause C．detail D．land 2．A．happens B．finishes C．exists D．matters 3．A．easy B．possible C．special D．interesting 4．A．fought B．dreamed C．argued D．practised 5．A．give up B．run away C．work hard D．turn back 6．A．clever B．healthy C．old D．strange 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 6．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于发明的一些常见错误观点，并通过举例来纠正这些错误认知，告诉人们任何人都可以成为发明家。 1．句意：也许你对发明有错误的认知，所以继续读下去，去发现真相吧。 truth真相；cause原因；detail细节；land土地。根据“Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover ...”可知，前面说有关于发明的错误观点，因此这里是说要去发现关于发明的正确的东西，也就是真相。truth“真相”，符合语境。故选A。 2．句意：嗯，发明意味着创造“新”的东西，但这个想法可能来自已经存在的事物。 happens发生；finishes完成；exists存在；matters重要。根据下文“The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a ‘flying machine’ from watching birds.”可知，发明的想法可以来自已经存在的事物，exists“存在”，符合语境。故选C。 3．句意：有很多因素使得创新成为可能。 easy容易；possible可能；special特别；interesting有趣。根据“Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a unique talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity.”可知，后文所举莫扎特的例子，说明有很多因素使得创新成为可能，“make innovation possible”表示“使创新成为可能”，possible“可能”，符合语境。故选B。 4．句意：他的父亲是一名音乐老师，莫扎特从幼儿园开始每天都要练习好几个小时。 fought战斗；dreamed梦想；argued争论；practised练习。根据“But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart ... for hours every day, from the time he was in kindergarten.”可知，影响莫扎特创造力的因素不仅仅是他的音乐天赋，后期的勤奋练习也是一个很重要的因素，此处指的是他从幼儿园开始每天都要练习好几个小时，practised“练习”，符合语境。故选D。 5．句意：非常成功的创造者在犯错时不会放弃。 give up放弃；run away逃跑；work hard努力工作；turn back回头。根据“Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was ‘99% hard work and 1% inspiration’!”以及“As one inventor said, ‘A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!’”可知，成功的发明家认为失败是正常的，并且发明需要大量努力，所以当他们犯错时，不会轻易放弃，give up“放弃”，符合语境。故选A。 6．句意：错误认知三：发明家总是年长者。 clever聪明的；healthy健康的；old年老的；strange奇怪的。根据“Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here is an example of a young inventor ...”可知，这里是纠正人们认为发明家总是年龄大的人的错误观点，因此old“年老的”，符合语境。故选C。 三、语法选择 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，根据语法和上下文连贯的要求，从每小题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将对应选项涂黑。 Dennis Hong and his students design human-like robots.

Do you often sing in the shower, wasting water while taking your wash slowly? Now a special curtain wifi make sure you cut it down to four minutes. The curtain was specially designed for those who spend long time in the bathroom. Elisabeth Buecher, from London has created the product to force people to change their water-wasting habits. The shower curtain was named Spiky, and it has soft plastic spikes. The spikes hang on the wall during the shower, but after you spend four minutes washing up, the spikes will fill with air, and kick you out as the shower becomes an uncomfortable experience. Spiky has a sensor (传感器) , and it causes the colorful spikes to stand up outward after reaching the four-minute limit. The spikes won’t make you feel painful, but you can’t stand in the shower anymore because the spikes take up all the space. You have to get out and stop using too much water. Buecher calls Spiky the “green soldier” because it aims to get people to save water.

His invention kept him dry and left his hands free. Soon, everyone would want one! Then his heart sank. On the other side of the street were the Barker Boys. Garth turned quickly to run back home, but it was too late. The three boys soon stood around him. Todd, the biggest brother pulled the Umbrella Hat off Garth’s head. “What is THIS?” he said angrily. “It’s an Umbrella Hat,” Garth said with a small voice. “You wear it when it rains…” “Who would want something like that?” Todd laughed loudly. He threw the hat onto the wet ground and three of them went away, still laughing. With tears in his eyes, Garth picked up his invention from the ground. Maybe the horrible Todd was right… Suddenly, he looked up and saw a lady’s worried face. “Are you okay?” she asked. Then she saw the Umbrella Hat in Garth’s hand. It was now broken and dirty. “What is that?” “It’s my Umbrella Hat. I made it myself,” said Garth. He waited for her to laugh like the boys did. To his surprise, the woman didn’t laugh, but started to ask him many questions about the Umbrella Hat and how he made it. Finally, she said, “Keep inventing. One day, you will make something truly amazing.” “And you have given me a great idea,” she continued. “I own a gadget (新奇小玩意) shop called Gadgets4U. I would like to...” Garth could not believe it.

Read the passage and answer the following questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Some trains produce thick clouds of black smoke as they travel. They smell bad and are harmful to the environment. But luckily, they will soon be a thing of the past. In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with biodiesel (生物柴油). Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food. Biodiesel can power diesel engines. It is better for the environment than regular diesel. Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train (敞篷观光列车) in Miyazaki Prefecture (宫崎县) in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021. The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white. While the train is moving, its conductors use bubble machines to create bubbles along the way. The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes. It travels through mountains, tunnels and rice fields. Its fuel is powerful enough to pull the train up high mountains. The train’s biodiesel costs about the same as regular diesel. Cooking oil provides about ninety percent of the train’s fuel. The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy. The railway company works with another company to run the train. They buy the used cooking oil and leftover noodle soup from some restaurants. The fat from the soup and the oil are refined into biodiesel. Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away. The biodiesel train reuses food waste and cuts down on harmful smoke. How useful it is! 1．According to the article, what can biodiesel be made from? 2．How long has the open-air sightseeing train been powered by biodiesel? 3．How long does the sightseeing train ride last? 4．What color is the open-air sightseeing train? 5．Why does the smoke from the open-air sightseeing train smell yummy? 6．Why does the biodiesel have to be used right away? 【答案】1．It can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, cooking oil waste and leftover food. 2．Since 2021. 3．About 30 minutes. 4．It is pink and white. 5．Because ten percent of its fuel comes from pork bone noodle soup. 6．Because biodiesel goes bad in a few months. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了生物柴油的相关信息，以及日本宫崎县使用生物柴油驱动的露天观光列车的情况，包括列车特点、燃料来源与特点等和这种列车的环保作用。 1．根据“Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can also be made from cooking oil waste and leftover food.”可知生物柴油可由植物油和动物脂肪制成，也可由废弃食用油和剩余食物制成，故填It can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, cooking oil waste and leftover food. 2．根据“Amaterasu Railway is an open-air sightseeing train in Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan. It has been powered by biodiesel since 2021.”可知自从2021年起敞篷观光列车就由生物柴油提供动力了，故填Since 2021. 3．根据“The train can carry up to 60 people. Its ride time is about 30 minutes.”可知敞篷观光列车的行程时长为大约30分钟，故填About 30 minutes. 4．根据“The train itself is very lovely. It is pink and white.”可知火车是粉白相间的，故填It is pink and white. 5．根据“The other ten percent comes from pork bone noodle soup, and this makes the smoke from the train smell yummy.”可知剩下的10%的燃料来自猪骨面条汤，所以火车冒出的烟闻起来是香喷喷的，故填Because ten percent of its fuel comes from pork bone noodle soup. 6．根据“Unlike regular diesel, biodiesel goes bad in a few months. So, it has to be used right away.”可知几个月后，生物柴油会变质，所以必须被立即使用，故填Because biodiesel goes bad in a few months. 六、选词填空 A．eagerly  B．developed  C． conditions  D．extremely  E. object  F. map Did you know that there are many other kinds of robots?
