Liam 15 to a man jogging by."See that guy?He's running,but he's16.Maybe it's not

三、阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(1Do you like blueberries?If so,the next time you're about to eat these delicious berries,take a good look
at them.
2For the most part,blueberries aren't blue.If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry,you'll see
that the fruit inside is white.If you rub()the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper,you'll see a
reddish-purple color.And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry,the blue color disappears and the berry
looks almost black.But the moment you pick one,it does look blue.What's going on?
3Well,there are two ways to create colors.The first is through pigments().Pigments show the color
of the light they don't take in.The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll ()a green pigment.
Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn't take in green light.It sends it out instead while taking in
blue and red light.Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light.In fact,there
aren't any "true blue"pigments in the plant world.
④The second way to make color is through“structural color(结构光)”.This happens when the surface
makes some colors of light look different.Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD?These colors show up
because of the tiny spaces between the CD's thin layers().These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our
eyes.
5Blueberries also create"structural color"in their own way.The berries look black when they're ripe
)but the plants build a thin layer of wax()on their outside.This layer is only 0.4%of a centimeter thick,
but it gives the berries their blue look.The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color.
They eat the berries and spread the seeds()far and wide.
6Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting.The fruit is beautiful,but its beauty
is only skin deep!

五、阅读与回答问题(每小题2分,共10分)
In 1876,Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention-the telephone.For the first time in history,people
could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room.But today,phones can do much more than
just making calls!
The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios.These early devices (had a big problem-they
only worked when people were close to each other.In the 1940s,smart scientists found a way.They built tall radio
towers across the country to pass signals(easily.
Everything changed in 1973 when Dr.Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call.During the 1980s,
mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive.Only rich business people could afford them,and the
phones looked like big plastic bricks.
The 1990s brought another big change.Phones became cheaper and smaller,fitting easily in pockets.Soon,
almost everyone had one.Text messaging became popular.People started writing short messages instead of
making phone calls.Meeting time became more flexible because you could just text"I'll be 15 minutes
late.”
Now we have smartphones-like powerful mini-computers in our pockets.We use them to take photos,
watch videos,play games,and even help with housework!Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages
easily.While phones help us stay connected,some people worry we spend too much time on them.
Looking back,it's amazing how phones have changed.From Bell's simple telephone to today's smartphones,
this has truly changed our lives.What will phones be able to do next?Only time will tell!
45.When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone?
46.Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s?
47.Who made the first real mobile phone call?
48.How can smartphones help us in our life?(请给出两个例子)
49 What do you think the future phones might be like?(请自拟一句话作答)
