Xiaomi, one of the world’s leading smartphone companies (智能手机公司) , began accepting orders (订单) in China through an app on Thursday night, after founder Lei Jun finished a more than two-hour presentation (发布会) on the SU7 car by stating the much-awaited price range (区间) from 215,900 yuan to 299,900 yuan. Xiaomi said that it received (收到) 50,000 orders for the SU7 in the first 27 minutes after sales opened at 10 p. m. Beijing time. Lei mentioned that Beijing-based Xiaomi aims (目标) to become one of the world’s top five car makers in the next 15 to 20 years. “It’s hard to make a car, but it’s cool to succeed,” he said. Lei said Xiaomi would lose money on the basic model at 215,900 yuan, a price that is lower than the Tesla (特斯拉) Model 3 in China. In his opinion, the SU7 car did better than the Tesla in most areas, but the best type of the SU7 is not as good as the Porsche (保时捷) Taycan. “There’s still a long way to go for our car to become a Porsche” he said, but if Xiaomi keeps working hard for another five to ten years, “one day we will finally catch up with and even surpass Porsche.” 周四晚，小米 SU7 在北京正式发布，在中国没有任何一款车型能比它获得更高的关注度。作为全球领先的智能手机企业之一，小米在创始人雷军完成两个多小时的 SU7 汽车发布会并公布备受期待的售价区间（21.59 万元至 29.99 万元）后，于周四晚通过一款 APP 在国内开启接受预订。 小米表示，北京时间当晚 10 点开售后仅 27 分钟，SU7 就收到了 5 万台订单。雷军提到，总部位于北京的小米目标是在未来 15 至 20 年内，成为全球前五的汽车制造商。他说：“造一辆车很难，但成功了会很酷。” 雷军表示，小米 21.59 万元的基础款车型将会亏损销售，这一定价低于中国市场的特斯拉 Model 3。在他看来，SU7 在大多数领域的表现优于特斯拉，但顶配版 SU7 仍不如保时捷 Taycan。 他说：“我们的车要成为保时捷那样的品牌，还有很长的路要走。” 但如果小米再努力奋斗五到十年，“总有一天，我们终将赶上甚至超越保时捷。” 1．Where was the Xiaomi SU7 launched?

On the street! Not a common bike or a scooter (滑板车), it’s an e-bike with solar panels (太阳能板)! It’s also called a “solar e-bike”. Last month, it started being used in Chengdu’s green bike-sharing system, helping users travel around the city without worrying about running out of power. This is a new step for eco-friendly (环保的) short-distance transport. ②Solar e-bikes look almost like regular e-bikes, but they have a small solar panel on the front or the back. This panel can collect sunlight and turn it into electricity to charge the bike’s battery. Unlike traditional e-bikes that need to be plugged into a power socket (插座) to recharge, solar e-bikes get power from the sun for free. ③Solar e-bikes are easy to use. They have two riding modes: you can ride them like a normal bike (using your own strength) or turn on the electric mode to let the motor help you. Even on cloudy days, the solar panel can still collect weak sunlight—though it charges slower than on sunny days. The battery can also store extra electricity, so you can use it at night or when there’s no sun. ④Solar e-bikes bring many benefits to daily life. ⑤First, they save money. You don’t need to pay for electricity to charge them, and the cost of maintaining (维护) them is lower than regular e-bikes. Second, they help reduce air pollution. Since they use solar power instead of petrol (汽油) or grid electricity (电网电力) from coal-fired plants (火电厂), they produce almost no emissions. ⑥Another big advantage is that they’re good for long trips. A fully charged solar e-bike can go up to 60 kilometers—much farther than most regular bike-sharing bike. This makes them a great choice for people who need to travel from home to work (or school) and back, which usually takes 10-20 kilometers one way. ⑦Solar e-bikes have already been tested in a few Chinese cities like Qingdao and Xiamen. Many users say they love the “never-run-out-of-power” feeling. Bike-sharing companies plan to add more solar e-bikes next year, and some schools are even thinking about using them for students’ short-distance trips. ①看！大街上！不是普通的自行车，也不是滑板车，而是一辆装有太阳能板的电动自行车！它也被称作 “太阳能电动自行车”。上个月，这种车辆正式投入成都绿色共享单车系统使用，帮助市民在城市出行时无需担心电量耗尽。这是环保型短途交通工具迈出的崭新一步。 ②太阳能电动自行车外观与普通电动自行车几乎无异，但在车头或车尾装有一块小型太阳能板。这块面板可以吸收阳光并将其转化为电能，为自行车电池充电。与需要插入电源插座充电的传统电动自行车不同，太阳能电动自行车可免费从太阳获取能源。 ③太阳能电动自行车使用简便。它设有两种骑行模式：既可以像普通自行车一样靠人力骑行，也可以开启电动模式，由电机辅助驱动。即使是阴天，太阳能板仍能吸收微弱阳光 —— 只是充电速度比晴天慢。电池还可储存多余电能，因此在夜晚或无阳光时也能正常使用。 ④太阳能电动自行车为日常生活带来诸多益处。 ⑤首先，它们更省钱。无需支付充电电费，维护成本也低于普通电动自行车。其次，它们有助于减少空气污染。由于使用太阳能，而非汽油或火电厂提供的电网电力，几乎不产生排放物。 ⑥另一大优势是适合长途出行。一辆充满电的太阳能电动自行车续航可达 60 公里，远超大多数普通共享单车。这使其成为通勤（上班或上学）人群的理想选择，这类行程单程通常为 10 至 20 公里。 ⑦太阳能电动自行车已在青岛、厦门等国内多个城市试点。不少用户表示，很喜欢这种 “永远不怕没电” 的体验。共享单车企业计划明年投放更多太阳能电动自行车，部分学校甚至考虑将其用于学生短途出行。 1．According to the first paragraph, what is the main goal of the new solar e-bike? A．To take the place of all common bikes. B．To be a test in Chengdu’s bike-sharing system. C．To give people a green way to travel around the city without worrying about running out of power. D．To show new uses of solar technology in transportation. 2．What is the main difference between solar e-bikes and traditional e-bikes? A．Solar e-bikes have two riding modes, but traditional ones don’t. B．Solar e-bikes need petrol to run, but traditional ones use electricity. C．Solar e-bikes get power from the sun, but traditional ones need plugging in. D．Solar e-bikes can go 60 kilometers, but traditional ones can’t go that far. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．①/②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦ C．①/②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ D．①②③/④/⑤⑥⑦ 4．What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A．The problems of solar e-bikes (like slow charging on rainy days). B．The history of bike-sharing systems in China. C．How to make regular e-bikes more eco-friendly. D．The number of solar e-bikes used in the Paris Olympics. 【重难词汇梳理】 核心词汇 solar 太阳能的 panel 面板 charge 充电 battery 电池 electricity 电 mode 模式 motor 电机 emission 排放物 maintain 维护 distance 距离 transport 交通 regular 普通的；常规的 extra 额外的 store 储存 benefit 优势；益处 高频短语 solar e-bike 太阳能电动自行车 run out of power 电量耗尽 turn…into… 把…… 变成…… plug into 插入 for free 免费 riding mode 骑行模式 reduce air pollution 减少空气污染 instead of 代替；而不是 up to 高达；多达 one way 单程 short-distance trip 短途出行 be good for 对…… 有益 plan to do 计划做某事 【长难句分析】 1.Last month, it started being used in Chengdu’s green bike-sharing system, helping users travel around the city without worrying about running out of power. 译文：上个月，这款太阳能电动自行车开始投入成都绿色共享单车系统使用，帮助用户在城市中出行，无需担心电量耗尽。 句子结构分析：本句为简单句，句子主干为 it started being used。Last month 作时间状语；in Chengdu’s green bike-sharing system 作地点状语；现在分词短语 helping users…power 作结果状语，说明投入使用带来的作用；其中 without worrying about running out of power 作伴随状语。 2.Unlike traditional e-bikes that need to be plugged into a power socket to recharge, solar e-bikes get power from the sun for free. 译文：与需要插入电源插座充电的传统电动自行车不同，太阳能电动自行车可以免费从阳光中获取电力。 句子结构分析：本句为主从复合句，句子主干为 solar e-bikes get power from the sun。Unlike traditional e-bikes 作比较状语；that need to be plugged into a power socket to recharge 是定语从句，修饰先行词 traditional e-bikes；for free 作方式状语。 3.This makes them a great choice for people who need to travel from home to work (or school) and back, which usually takes 10-20 kilometers one way. 译文：这让它们成为需要上下班（或上下学）往返人群的理想选择，这类行程的单程距离通常为 10 至 20 公里。 句子结构分析：本句为主从复合句，句子主干为 This makes them a great choice。for people 作对象状语；who need to travel from home to work (or school) and back 是定语从句，修饰先行词 people；which usually takes 10-20 kilometers one way 是非限制性定语从句，补充说明前文提到的行程。 实战演练 Passage 1 To bring water to his village, a Chinese man spent 36 years carving (刻) through mountains.

He was only 23 then. “I decided to do three things for the 4 : draw water to the village, build a road and get access to (获得) electricity,” Huang said. Although Huang was 5 when he first suggested building a long water canal (渠), he believed it could be done. The work on the canal began in 1959. 6 , after ten years of work, the first try at the canal failed to bring water to the village. Huang never 7 hope. He went to the nearby town to study engineering for a few years. In 1992, Huang began to lead people to dig a new canal. Their efforts paid off in 1995, when water rushed to Huang’s village through a 7,200-meter-long main canal and 2,200-meter-long branch canals. Huang’s work has also brought 8 to three other villages. People named the canal Dafa Canal. In the same year, the village got access to electricity and a new road was 9 .

Passage 4 （24-25七年级下·广东深圳·期末）①In today’s world, scientists are developing innovative (创新的) solutions to environmental problems. Let’s explore three groundbreaking ones. ② Engineers in Amsterdam have invented a new birdhouse. It has computers inside and is powered by solar panels on its roof. When the air is clean enough, the birdhouse turns green and provides free WiFi to people nearby. If the air gets polluted, it turns red. People love this idea. They ride bikes more, so the air gets cleaner and they get free internet. ③In Chile’s dry desert areas, getting clean water is not easy. Scientists created a smart machine. It takes water from the air and works like this: when warm air touches its cold surface, water drops form — just like on a cold drink can. The machine collects the water and cleans it. One such machine can produce enough water each day for a family of four to drink. Best of all, it uses solar power, so it works even in places without electricity. ④A famous British band had cool ideas for their concerts (演唱会). They installed (安装) special floors on stage called “Kinetic floors”. The floors can make electricity when fans dance. The band also offer fans exercise bikes to ride, and this helped power the show! At one concert, the electricity fans made was enough to power 300 homes for an hour! Now, many other bands are following these cool ideas. 1．What can the birdhouse in Amsterdam do? A．Test the air quality. B．Provide solar power. C．Check WiFi speed. D．Make weather reports. 2．Why did the writer mention “a cold drink can” in paragraph 3? A．To compare cold drinks with hot ones. B．To show how the smart machine works. C．To test the readers on what water cycle is. D．To describe water shortage in desert areas. 3．What do the first two inventions have in common? A．They make electricity. B．They clean polluted water. C．They use solar energy. D．They reduce air pollution. 4．Which poster BEST matches the concerts according to paragraph 4? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 5 Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power source（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. People began to use windmills（风车）in West Asia about 2700 years ago. During the 1100s, European soldiers returned from the Middle East and they knew how to use wind power. Then windmills first appeared in Europe. For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat（小麦）into flour（面粉）or get water from deep underground. When people discovered electricity in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use windmills to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when almost all areas of the United States burned fossil fuel（化石燃料）for electricity, windmills disappeared. During the 1970s, people started to care about the pollution from burning fossil fuel. People also came to know that the fuel would run out one day. Although using wind power means more money, people still began to use it and the use of wind is becoming more and more popular. 1．From Paragraph 1, what can we know about wind and windmills? A．Wind is the cleanest, richest and newest power source. B．European soldiers first used windmills before the 1100s. C．Soldiers in West Asia knew how to use wind power. D．People used windmills in West Asia about 2700 years ago. 2．What did people use windmills to do for many centuries? A．To help make flour from wheat. B．To help get water from the river. C．To help make electric lights. D．To help dig wells an faraway areas. 3．When did people use the windmills to produce electricity in some places? A．In the 1100s. B．In the 1800s. C．In the 1940s. D．In the 1970s 4．The underlined phrase “run out” in Paragraph 3 mean ________. A．跑出去 B．逃跑 C．用完 D．流走 5．Why did people use wind power again during the 1970s? A．Because fossil fuel would be expensive. B．Because it was cheaper to produce electricity. C．Because it’s better for the environment. D．Because it could only be used in faraway areas. Passage 6 Saving electricity can help stop the earth getting warmer and save money. Changing your habits is a good way to use less electricity. 1 Enjoy natural light. Open the window and let the sunshine in! Also, try to use natural light whenever possible. 2 The same is true when you work in an office. Natural light also makes you happier. 3 This is the easiest, most convenient way to save electricity, and it really works. Start paying attention to how many lights are on in your house at any time. Think about how many lights you really need to be using at once. When you leave a room, make a habit of turning off the lights. Use less hot water. Heating water takes a lot of energy. It is not necessary to take cold showers, but paying attention to how much hot water you use, and how the water is heated, can save a lot of electricity and money. 4 Use the air conditioner only when needed. Sometimes it is necessary to use the air conditioner, but there is no reason to have it on from the beginning of spring to the end of summer without ever turning it off. 5 Doing so can save much electricity. A．Turn off the lights. B．Turn on the air conditioner in summer. C．For example, take showers instead of baths. D．Find other ways to cool yourself down when possible. E．Here is some advice on how to save electricity at home. F．This can greatly lower the amount of electricity you use during the day. $Unit 6 Electricity everywhere 话题阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文 阅读 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 241 小米SU7发布后订单火爆，雷军公布企业目标与未来展望。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 352 介绍成都太阳能共享单车的外观、用法、优势，及多地测试与推广计划。 实战 演练 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 280 讲述黄大发带领村民耗时36年修建 “大发渠”，解决当地缺水、缺路、缺电难题,脱贫致富的故事。 Passage2 阅读理解 应用文 152 介绍旧书回收、节水、植树、节能四项环保公益活动。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 174 说明成都高温致电力紧张、热射病危害及全球变暖对农业的影响。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 232 介绍科学家应对环境问题的三项创新方案。 Passage5 阅读理解 说明文 193 介绍风力利用的历史与如今的广泛应用。 Passage6 六选五 说明文 264 介绍通过改变日常习惯节约用电、减缓变暖、节省开支的方法。 Passage 1时文阅读 No model has ever received more attention (关注) in China than the Xiaomi SU7, which was launched (发布) on Thursday night in Beijing.

On the street! Not a common bike or a scooter (滑板车), it’s an e-bike with solar panels (太阳能板)! It’s also called a “solar e-bike”. Last month, it started being used in Chengdu’s green bike-sharing system, helping users travel around the city without worrying about running out of power. This is a new step for eco-friendly (环保的) short-distance transport. ②Solar e-bikes look almost like regular e-bikes, but they have a small solar panel on the front or the back. This panel can collect sunlight and turn it into electricity to charge the bike’s battery. Unlike traditional e-bikes that need to be plugged into a power socket (插座) to recharge, solar e-bikes get power from the sun for free. ③Solar e-bikes are easy to use. They have two riding modes: you can ride them like a normal bike (using your own strength) or turn on the electric mode to let the motor help you. Even on cloudy days, the solar panel can still collect weak sunlight—though it charges slower than on sunny days. The battery can also store extra electricity, so you can use it at night or when there’s no sun. ④Solar e-bikes bring many benefits to daily life. ⑤First, they save money. You don’t need to pay for electricity to charge them, and the cost of maintaining (维护) them is lower than regular e-bikes. Second, they help reduce air pollution. Since they use solar power instead of petrol (汽油) or grid electricity (电网电力) from coal-fired plants (火电厂), they produce almost no emissions. ⑥Another big advantage is that they’re good for long trips. A fully charged solar e-bike can go up to 60 kilometers—much farther than most regular bike-sharing bike. This makes them a great choice for people who need to travel from home to work (or school) and back, which usually takes 10-20 kilometers one way. ⑦Solar e-bikes have already been tested in a few Chinese cities like Qingdao and Xiamen. Many users say they love the “never-run-out-of-power” feeling. Bike-sharing companies plan to add more solar e-bikes next year, and some schools are even thinking about using them for students’ short-distance trips. ①看！大街上！不是普通的自行车，也不是滑板车，而是一辆装有太阳能板的电动自行车！它也被称作 “太阳能电动自行车”。上个月，这种车辆正式投入成都绿色共享单车系统使用，帮助市民在城市出行时无需担心电量耗尽。这是环保型短途交通工具迈出的崭新一步。 ②太阳能电动自行车外观与普通电动自行车几乎无异，但在车头或车尾装有一块小型太阳能板。这块面板可以吸收阳光并将其转化为电能，为自行车电池充电。与需要插入电源插座充电的传统电动自行车不同，太阳能电动自行车可免费从太阳获取能源。 ③太阳能电动自行车使用简便。它设有两种骑行模式：既可以像普通自行车一样靠人力骑行，也可以开启电动模式，由电机辅助驱动。即使是阴天，太阳能板仍能吸收微弱阳光 —— 只是充电速度比晴天慢。电池还可储存多余电能，因此在夜晚或无阳光时也能正常使用。 ④太阳能电动自行车为日常生活带来诸多益处。 ⑤首先，它们更省钱。无需支付充电电费，维护成本也低于普通电动自行车。其次，它们有助于减少空气污染。由于使用太阳能，而非汽油或火电厂提供的电网电力，几乎不产生排放物。 ⑥另一大优势是适合长途出行。一辆充满电的太阳能电动自行车续航可达 60 公里，远超大多数普通共享单车。这使其成为通勤（上班或上学）人群的理想选择，这类行程单程通常为 10 至 20 公里。 ⑦太阳能电动自行车已在青岛、厦门等国内多个城市试点。不少用户表示，很喜欢这种 “永远不怕没电” 的体验。共享单车企业计划明年投放更多太阳能电动自行车，部分学校甚至考虑将其用于学生短途出行。 1．According to the first paragraph, what is the main goal of the new solar e-bike?

Let’s explore three groundbreaking ones. ② Engineers in Amsterdam have invented a new birdhouse. It has computers inside and is powered by solar panels on its roof. When the air is clean enough, the birdhouse turns green and provides free WiFi to people nearby. If the air gets polluted, it turns red. People love this idea. They ride bikes more, so the air gets cleaner and they get free internet. ③In Chile’s dry desert areas, getting clean water is not easy. Scientists created a smart machine. It takes water from the air and works like this: when warm air touches its cold surface, water drops form — just like on a cold drink can. The machine collects the water and cleans it. One such machine can produce enough water each day for a family of four to drink. Best of all, it uses solar power, so it works even in places without electricity. ④A famous British band had cool ideas for their concerts (演唱会). They installed (安装) special floors on stage called “Kinetic floors”. The floors can make electricity when fans dance. The band also offer fans exercise bikes to ride, and this helped power the show! At one concert, the electricity fans made was enough to power 300 homes for an hour! Now, many other bands are following these cool ideas. 1．What can the birdhouse in Amsterdam do? A．Test the air quality. B．Provide solar power. C．Check WiFi speed. D．Make weather reports. 2．Why did the writer mention “a cold drink can” in paragraph 3? A．To compare cold drinks with hot ones. B．To show how the smart machine works. C．To test the readers on what water cycle is. D．To describe water shortage in desert areas. 3．What do the first two inventions have in common? A．They make electricity. B．They clean polluted water. C．They use solar energy. D．They reduce air pollution. 4．Which poster BEST matches the concerts according to paragraph 4? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们为解决环境问题而开发的三个创新方案，分别是阿姆斯特丹的新型鸟舍、智利的智能取水机器以及英国乐队的环保演唱会创意。 1．细节理解题。根据“When the air is clean enough, the birdhouse turns green and provides free WiFi to people nearby. If the air gets polluted, it turns red.”可知，阿姆斯特丹的鸟舍能检测空气质量。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“It takes water from the air and works like this: when warm air touches its cold surface, water drops form — just like on a cold drink can.”可知，作者在第三段提到“a cold drink can”是为了展示智能机器的工作原理。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“It has computers inside and it is powered by solar panels on its roof.”以及“Best of all, it uses solar power, so it works even in places without electricity.”可知，前两项发明的共同之处是它们都使用太阳能。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“They installed (安装) special floors on stage called 'Kinetic floors'. The floors can make electricity when fans dance. The band also offer fans exercise bikes to ride, and this helped power the show!”可知，演唱会的特别之处在于粉丝的活动 (跳舞、骑健身自行车) 能为演出供电。B选项“你的动作驱动演出”与之匹配。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述科学家们正在开发创新的环境问题解决方案，然后第二、三、四段分别介绍了三个不同的创新案例，所以文章结构是总—分结构。故选D。 Passage 5 Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power source（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. People began to use windmills（风车）in West Asia about 2700 years ago. During the 1100s, European soldiers returned from the Middle East and they knew how to use wind power. Then windmills first appeared in Europe. For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat（小麦）into flour（面粉）or get water from deep underground. When people discovered electricity in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use windmills to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when almost all areas of the United States burned fossil fuel（化石燃料）for electricity, windmills disappeared. During the 1970s, people started to care about the pollution from burning fossil fuel. People also came to know that the fuel would run out one day. Although using wind power means more money, people still began to use it and the use of wind is becoming more and more popular. 1．From Paragraph 1, what can we know about wind and windmills? A．Wind is the cleanest, richest and newest power source. B．European soldiers first used windmills before the 1100s. C．Soldiers in West Asia knew how to use wind power. D．People used windmills in West Asia about 2700 years ago. 2．What did people use windmills to do for many centuries? A．To help make flour from wheat. B．To help get water from the river. C．To help make electric lights. D．To help dig wells an faraway areas. 3．When did people use the windmills to produce electricity in some places? A．In the 1100s. B．In the 1800s. C．In the 1940s. D．In the 1970s 4．The underlined phrase “run out” in Paragraph 3 mean ________. A．跑出去 B．逃跑 C．用完 D．流走 5．Why did people use wind power again during the 1970s? A．Because fossil fuel would be expensive.
