He made paper with bark (树皮), ropes (绳), rags (抹布) and so on. Before it was invented, the ancient Chinese carved (雕刻) characters on animal bones and stones. They also wrote them on bamboo and wooden sticks.
It was developed in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters on pieces of clay and wood. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. It was the basic method at that time.

(25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中)How do blind people get around safely? Some people use guide dogs. Some people use long white canes (手杖) to help them get around.
Guide dogs and canes are helpful, but there must be a better way for blind people to get around. A scientist in England thought so. His name is Waters and he studies bats (蝙蝠). He knows that bats are able to fly in the dark. Besides, he knows that bats go by using sound to “see”. Dr. Waters wondered if people could do something similar.
Bats make sounds as they fly. These sounds travel in waves in the air. When the waves hit an object such as a tree or house, they bounce back (反射回来). The waves travel back to the bat’s ears. A bat learns the location and shape of objects around it.
Dr. Waters cooperated with other scientists, including Withington from America and Hoyle from Germany. They worked together and invented a new kind of cane. They called it a “bat cane” because their idea started with bats. The new cane has a computer in the handle (手柄). ______ The sound waves hit objects and bounce back. This causes the handle to make sounds, which humans can hear.
With a little training, a person using the cane can easily tell where objects are and can “see” with sound!
1.Which can help the blind go across busy streets?
A.Bats. B.Black canes. C.Computers. D.Guide dogs.
2.How does a bat find its way in the dark according to the passage?
A.By using its sharp eyes. B.By following other bats.
C.By sending out sound waves. D.By smelling the objects around.
3.Why do scientists call this new kind of cane a “bat cane”?
A.A bat was trained. B.Their idea began with bats.
C.It looked like a bat. D.Bats are the symbol of good luck.
4.Which of the following can be put in “______” in the fourth paragraph?
A.It makes noise that helps humans.
B.It produces some songs that humans can hear.
C.It sends out sound waves that humans cannot hear.
D.It tells the blind that there isn’t anything around them.
5.What will the blind’s life be like after using the bat cane?
A.Funnier. B.More exciting. C.More difficult. D.More convenient.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.D
【导语】本文主要讲述了科学家们受蝙蝠利用声波“看见”物体的启发,发明了一种帮助盲人安全出行的新型手杖——“蝙蝠手杖”。
1.第一段提到:“Some people use guide dogs. Some people use long white canes (手杖) to help them get around.”,说明导盲犬和长长的白色手杖可以帮助盲人出行。
2.第三段提到:“Bats make sounds as they fly. These sounds travel in waves in the air. When the waves hit an object such as a tree or house, they bounce back (反射回来). The waves travel back to the bat’s ears. A bat learns the location and shape of objects around it.”,说明蝙蝠在黑暗中是通过发出声波并接收回声来辨别方向和物体的。
3.第四段提到:“They called it a ‘bat cane’ because their idea started with bats.”,说明科学家将其称为“蝙蝠手杖”是因为他们的发明灵感来源于蝙蝠。
4.第四段空前“The new cane has a computer in the handle (手柄). ”及空后“The sound waves hit objects and bounce back.”共同提示,空白处应描述电脑发出声波的过程。选项C“它发出人类听不到的声波”符合蝙蝠回声定位的原理及上下文逻辑。
5.最后一段提到:“With a little training, a person using the cane can easily tell where objects are and can ‘see’ with sound!”,说明使用这种手杖能让盲人更容易地辨别物体位置,从而使他们的生活更加便利。
(25-26九年级上·湖南永州·期中)
In China, book readers or newspaper fans should thank Wang Xuan. He is one of the most important scientists in China.
Wang is famous as the father of Chinese language typesetting (排版). He invented a computerized laser photo composition system (计算机激光照排系统) for Chinese characters (汉字) in the 1970s. This invention helped China turn a new page in printing.
Before Wang’s invention, people printed books and newspapers with movable block type (活字印刷). This was invented by Bi Sheng around 1040. However, it took a lot of time. At that time, it would take more than 30 people 8 hours a day to print just one page of a newspaper.
Wang wanted to change it. So he began to take action and research laser photo composition in 1974. It was the best but the most difficult printing method at that time. Only a few Western countries were able to make it. Without any experience to borrow from, Wang could only work on it by himself.
Luckily, Wang’s hard work finally paid off in 1980. China’s first laser-printed book, a 26-page story called The Sword of Wu Hao, appeared. With Wang’s system, a newspaper could be typeset in just 20 minutes. His invention helped China enter a new age of printing.
1.What is Wang Xuan known as?
A.A great writer.
B.A famous newspaper fan.
C.The father of Chinese language typesetting.
2.Before Wang’s invention, how did people print things?
A.By handwriting.
B.With movable block type.
C.With laser photo composition.
3.How long did it take to typeset a newspaper with Wang’s new system?
A.8 hours. B.20 minutes. C.26 days.
4.What does the underlined phrase “paid off” mean in the passage?
A.取得成功 B.偿还 C.付钱
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了中国最重要的科学家之一王选,讲述了他研发汉字计算机激光照排系统、推动中国印刷技术革新进入新时代的故事。
1.第二段“Wang is famous as the father of Chinese language typesetting (排版).”,王选被誉为汉字排版之父。
2.第三段“Before Wang’s invention, people printed books and newspapers with movable block type (活字印刷).”,在王选的发明诞生之前,人们用活字印刷来印制书籍和报纸。
3.第五段“With Wang’s system, a newspaper could be typeset in just 20 minutes.”,使用王选的系统,一份报纸仅需20分钟就能完成排版。
4.最后一段“Luckily, Wang’s hard work finally paid off in 1980. China’s first laser-printed book, a 26-page story called The Sword of Wu Hao, appeared.”,王选多年的研究取得了成功,因此“paid off”此处含义为“取得成功”。

For example, before paper 6 (invent), people used things like bamboo or animal skins to write on. Around 2,000 years ago, Cai Lun mixed bark (树皮), ropes and old cloth to create the first paper. This great invention helped people record 7 (story), poems, and important knowledge. It also spread to other countries, changing the way people learned and communicated.
In recent years, China has been making more high-technology products. 8 you walk into a store in Sydney, Australia, you can see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. The popularity of Chinese high-technology products is much 9 (great) in other places. In many European countries, stores sell Xiaomi smartphones, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models. They are not 10 (simple) made in China, but designed and developed there.
(25-26九年级上·福建厦门·阶段检测)Wu Zeyin, 11, comes from Hubei, China. 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!

It was a great gift to the world from ancient China. Before it was invented, people had to depend on the stars to find directions. After it was invented, the oceans were open for travelling. And many new discoveries were made with the help of it.
It was one of the greatest inventions. At first, it was used for making fireworks. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars. The way of making it was brought to the Arab world and Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries.
China was the first country in the world to make paper. During the Western Han Dynasty, paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Cai Lun. He made paper with bark (树皮), ropes (绳), rags (抹布) and so on. Before it was invented, the ancient Chinese carved (雕刻) characters on animal bones and stones. They also wrote them on bamboo and wooden sticks.
It was developed in the Song Dynasty. A man named Bi Sheng carved characters on pieces of clay and wood. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. This technology then spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. It was the basic method at that time.
1.What did people depend on to find directions before the compass was invented?
A.The sun. B.The stars. C.The moon. D.The wind.

(25-26九年级上·河北唐山·期中)How do blind people get around safely? Some people use guide dogs. Some people use long white canes (手杖) to help them get around.
Guide dogs and canes are helpful, but there must be a better way for blind people to get around. A scientist in England thought so. His name is Waters and he studies bats (蝙蝠). He knows that bats are able to fly in the dark. Besides, he knows that bats go by using sound to “see”. Dr. Waters wondered if people could do something similar.
Bats make sounds as they fly. These sounds travel in waves in the air. When the waves hit an object such as a tree or house, they bounce back (反射回来). The waves travel back to the bat’s ears. A bat learns the location and shape of objects around it.
Dr. Waters cooperated with other scientists, including Withington from America and Hoyle from Germany. They worked together and invented a new kind of cane. They called it a “bat cane” because their idea started with bats. The new cane has a computer in the handle (手柄). ______ The sound waves hit objects and bounce back. This causes the handle to make sounds, which humans can hear.
With a little training, a person using the cane can easily tell where objects are and can “see” with sound!
1.Which can help the blind go across busy streets?
A.Bats. B.Black canes. C.Computers. D.Guide dogs.
2.How does a bat find its way in the dark according to the passage?
A.By using its sharp eyes. B.By following other bats.
C.By sending out sound waves. D.By smelling the objects around.
3.Why do scientists call this new kind of cane a “bat cane”?
A.A bat was trained. B.Their idea began with bats.
C.It looked like a bat. D.Bats are the symbol of good luck.
4.Which of the following can be put in “______” in the fourth paragraph?
A.It makes noise that helps humans.
B.It produces some songs that humans can hear.
C.It sends out sound waves that humans cannot hear.
D.It tells the blind that there isn’t anything around them.
5.What will the blind’s life be like after using the bat cane?
A.Funnier. B.More exciting. C.More difficult. D.More convenient.

In China, book readers or newspaper fans should thank Wang Xuan. He is one of the most important scientists in China.
Wang is famous as the father of Chinese language typesetting (排版). He invented a computerized laser photo composition system (计算机激光照排系统) for Chinese characters (汉字) in the 1970s. This invention helped China turn a new page in printing.
Before Wang’s invention, people printed books and newspapers with movable block type (活字印刷). This was invented by Bi Sheng around 1040. However, it took a lot of time. At that time, it would take more than 30 people 8 hours a day to print just one page of a newspaper.
Wang wanted to change it. So he began to take action and research laser photo composition in 1974. It was the best but the most difficult printing method at that time. Only a few Western countries were able to make it. Without any experience to borrow from, Wang could only work on it by himself.
Luckily, Wang’s hard work finally paid off in 1980. China’s first laser-printed book, a 26-page story called The Sword of Wu Hao, appeared. With Wang’s system, a newspaper could be typeset in just 20 minutes. His invention helped China enter a new age of printing.
1.What is Wang Xuan known as?
A.A great writer.
B.A famous newspaper fan.
C.The father of Chinese language typesetting.
2.Before Wang’s invention, how did people print things?
A.By handwriting.
B.With movable block type.
C.With laser photo composition.
3.How long did it take to typeset a newspaper with Wang’s new system?
A.8 hours. B.20 minutes. C.26 days.
4.What does the underlined phrase “paid off” mean in the passage?
A.取得成功 B.偿还 C.付钱
