Grandma Zhou is eighty-two and lives alone. Her hands shake, so eating soup used to be embarrassing for her. Last month, Mei Ling brought an anti-shaking spoon she had learned about at the Science Museum. "Try this, Grandma," she said softly. Grandma Zhou held the spoon and slowly lifted a spoonful of tomato soup. Not a single drop fell. Tears appeared in her eyes. "It is this little invention that gives me confidence again," she whispered. Mei Ling also installed a small solar lamp beside Grandma Zhou's bed. When the power went out one stormy night, the lamp stayed on for hours. Grandma Zhou no longer worried about finding her medicine in the dark. Later, Mei Ling helped Grandma Zhou use a touch screen tablet to video-call her son in Shanghai. The elderly woman laughed when she saw her grandson's face. Mei Ling wrote in her school report, "Technology is not cold data. It becomes warm only when we use it to care for people." 36. Why was eating soup embarrassing for Grandma Zhou before? A.

A solar lamp answers the need for light in places without stable electricity. A water-filtering straw helps travellers drink safer water. An anti-shaking spoon allows elderly people to eat independently. Each product starts with observation, not magic. Today, new technology such as AI and cloud computing pushes invention further. AI can study thousands of designs and suggest improvements in minutes. Cloud computing lets engineers share data across cities and test ideas quickly. It is these tools that help young inventors turn sketches into real products. Yet machines alone cannot decide what people truly need. Visitors at science museums often spend more time on inventions that are handy and eco-friendly. Products that waste power or harm the environment are less welcome. Good designers therefore ask whether an invention is easy to use, safe and affordable. Schools can support creative thinking by holding exhibitions and workshops. When students try a self-service machine, filter water with a straw or interview an elderly user, they learn that invention is a bridge between science and human life. What matters most is not how complex a device looks, but how much better it makes someone's day. 41. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Only elderly people need new products. B. Magic is the secret of every invention. C. Most inventions begin by solving real daily problems. D. Museums should stop showing simple tools. 42. How do AI and cloud computing help inventors according to Paragraph 2? A. They replace all human designers. B. They help improve and test ideas more quickly. C. They make inventions more expensive. D. They prevent students from visiting museums. 43. Which kind of inventions are more welcome in museums? A. Ones that waste power on purpose. B. Ones that only experts can understand. C. Ones that are heavy and costly. D. Ones that are handy and eco-friendly. 44. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Hands-on activities help students connect science with life. B. Students should never use self-service machines. C. Workshops are less useful than written exams. D. Complex devices are always better than simple ones. 45. What would be the best title for the passage? A. How to Deposit Bags at a Museum B. Why Touch Screens Need More Buttons C. From Daily Problems to Helpful Inventions D. The End of Cloud Computing 【答案】41．C 42．B 43．D 44．A 45．C 【导语】说明文阐述发明源于生活需求，人工智能与云计算加速创新，并强调环保、易用与动手实践的重要性。 【详解】41．首段列举多种发明，说明它们都源于解决日常问题，选 C。 【详解】42．人工智能与云计算可快速改进设计、共享数据，选 B。 【详解】43．第三段指出便利且环保的发明更受欢迎，选 D。 【详解】44．末段强调展览与动手实践让学生理解科学与生活的联系，选 A。 【详解】45．全文论述从日常需求到发明诞生及技术辅助，选 C。 五、书面表达（共1题，满分10分） 46. 假定你是李华，你周末参观了重庆科技馆。请给你的英国笔友 Tom 写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 你参观了哪些发明展览； 2. 哪一种发明给你印象最深及原因； 3. 邀请他有机会来重庆一起参观。 注意：词数 60—80；可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Dear Tom, I visited the Chongqing Science and Technology Museum last weekend.

At the school gate on Sunday. （B） When Lin Tao and his classmates arrived at the Science Museum on Saturday morning, they deposited their backpacks at the self-service lockers near the entrance. A touch screen showed a map of four exhibition zones. It was the Green Tech Zone that they visited first. Inside, a small solar lamp caught everyone's attention. Although it was no bigger than a coffee cup, it lit up the whole desk. The guide said campers and village students used it during power cuts. Lin Tao thought it was the most handy invention he had ever seen. In the Health Zone, an elderly volunteer named Mr. Chen demonstrated the anti-shaking spoon. He let students hold the spoon while he gently moved his wrist. The soup did not spill. Mr. Chen explained that the invention helped many elderly people eat with dignity at home. Before lunch, the class joined a workshop and built a simple water-filtering straw. Lin Tao pushed dirty water through the straw and watched it turn clear. On the way out, the teacher reminded them that good inventions should be eco-friendly and affordable. Lin Tao promised to write a report and share photos on the school exhibition board. 31. What did the students do first after entering the museum? A. They bought souvenirs in the shop. B. They attended the water-filtering workshop. C. They interviewed Mr. Chen on the radio. D. They deposited their backpacks in self-service lockers. 32. Why did Lin Tao think the solar lamp was handy? A. It was small but could light up a whole desk. B. It was the most expensive product in the museum. C. It could only be used by professional chefs. D. It needed no sunlight to work. 33. What did Mr. Chen show in the Health Zone? A. A robot that serves food. B. A cloud computing lecture. C. An anti-shaking spoon for elderly users. D. A self-service ticket machine. 34. What happened when Lin Tao used the water-filtering straw? A. The straw broke immediately. B. The water became clear. C. The guide refused to help him. D. The workshop was cancelled. 35. What did the teacher remind students before they left? A.

Good inventions should be eco-friendly and affordable. （C） Mei Ling, a nursing major at Chongqing Vocational School, often visits her neighbour Grandma Zhou on Sunday afternoons. Grandma Zhou is eighty-two and lives alone. Her hands shake, so eating soup used to be embarrassing for her. Last month, Mei Ling brought an anti-shaking spoon she had learned about at the Science Museum. "Try this, Grandma," she said softly. Grandma Zhou held the spoon and slowly lifted a spoonful of tomato soup. Not a single drop fell. Tears appeared in her eyes. "It is this little invention that gives me confidence again," she whispered. Mei Ling also installed a small solar lamp beside Grandma Zhou's bed. When the power went out one stormy night, the lamp stayed on for hours. Grandma Zhou no longer worried about finding her medicine in the dark. Later, Mei Ling helped Grandma Zhou use a touch screen tablet to video-call her son in Shanghai. The elderly woman laughed when she saw her grandson's face. Mei Ling wrote in her school report, "Technology is not cold data. It becomes warm only when we use it to care for people." 36. Why was eating soup embarrassing for Grandma Zhou before? A. Her hands shook and soup often spilled. B. She disliked tomato soup. C. She had no spoon at home. D. Her son refused to visit her. 37. How did Grandma Zhou feel after trying the anti-shaking spoon? A. Angry and disappointed. B. Bored with new inventions. C. Confident and moved. D. Worried about the price only. 38. What helped Grandma Zhou during the stormy night? A. A water-filtering straw. B. A solar lamp beside her bed. C. A robot in the kitchen. D. A self-service locker. 39. What does Mei Ling think technology should do? A. Replace all face-to-face talks. B. Stay in museums and never enter homes. C. Make elderly people learn programming. D. Be used to care for people. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Nursing Student Brings Inventions to an Elderly Neighbour B. How to Build a Water-Filtering Straw C. Why Touch Screens Are Too Difficult D. The History of the Science Museum （D） Behind many modern inventions lies a simple question: how can we solve a daily problem in a better way? A solar lamp answers the need for light in places without stable electricity. A water-filtering straw helps travellers drink safer water. An anti-shaking spoon allows elderly people to eat independently. Each product starts with observation, not magic. Today, new technology such as AI and cloud computing pushes invention further. AI can study thousands of designs and suggest improvements in minutes. Cloud computing lets engineers share data across cities and test ideas quickly. It is these tools that help young inventors turn sketches into real products. Yet machines alone cannot decide what people truly need. Visitors at science museums often spend more time on inventions that are handy and eco-friendly. Products that waste power or harm the environment are less welcome. Good designers therefore ask whether an invention is easy to use, safe and affordable. Schools can support creative thinking by holding exhibitions and workshops. When students try a self-service machine, filter water with a straw or interview an elderly user, they learn that invention is a bridge between science and human life. What matters most is not how complex a device looks, but how much better it makes someone's day. 41. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Only elderly people need new products. B. Magic is the secret of every invention. C. Most inventions begin by solving real daily problems. D. Museums should stop showing simple tools. 42. How do AI and cloud computing help inventors according to Paragraph 2? A. They replace all human designers. B. They help improve and test ideas more quickly. C. They make inventions more expensive. D. They prevent students from visiting museums. 43. Which kind of inventions are more welcome in museums? A. Ones that waste power on purpose. B. Ones that only experts can understand. C. Ones that are heavy and costly. D. Ones that are handy and eco-friendly. 44. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Hands-on activities help students connect science with life. B. Students should never use self-service machines. C. Workshops are less useful than written exams. D. Complex devices are always better than simple ones. 45. What would be the best title for the passage? A. How to Deposit Bags at a Museum B. Why Touch Screens Need More Buttons C. From Daily Problems to Helpful Inventions D.
