六、阅读还原。
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Nowadays, there are many great inventions around us. They make our lives better in amazing ways. One of them is called “Tianmouc” — the world’s first smart chip (芯片) that works like our eyes and brains. 1
Tianmouc gets an idea by how our human eyes and brains work together. First, our eyes see things around us. 2 Tianmouc does something similar! It uses special sensors (传感器) to break down what it sees into tiny parts. Then, Tianmouc puts them together in two ways. One is by seeing colors and details clearly as if we read a book. The other is by reacting (回应) to sudden changes quickly, just like we catch a ball.
Tianmouc is really powerful. It can do things that traditional chips can’t. For example, it is able to collect what it sees at a very high speed of 10,000 frames (帧) per second. 3 The chip can work well in different light conditions—no matter how bright or dark the light is. All of these are achieved with very little power or energy.
4 For self-driving cars, they need to “see” the road clearly and react quickly to any danger. Tianmouc can notice sudden changes quickly, like a child running across the road or a car suddenly cutting in. For the cameras, they will react faster by catching any unusual movement in the future.
Inventions like Tianmouc show how creative the humans can be! 5 Who knows what amazing inventions we’ll see next?
A.Then, our brains understand them.
B.A team from Tsinghua University made it!
C.They are making our lives more convenient and safer.
D.In some ways, it sees things more exactly than our eyes.
E.It will help people work better in the future.
F.Tianmouc has a big influence on our daily life.
七、阅读理解。
16-year-old Yang Jun’ao, a student from No. 1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots (采藕).
“I got the idea when I saw my grandmother, in her 70s, working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun,” Yang said. Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools.
To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.
With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot. The robot can move by itself in the muddy fields where lotus roots grow. It uses special technology to distinguish ripe roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. Then, its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them.
While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting. “The first time I used a hot glue gun, my hands were shaking,” Yang laughed. At first, he planned to use rotating blades (旋转叶片) for harvesting lotus roots. But it was hard to find them, so he used more common blades instead.
When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother, she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves. “My grandmother’s suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical to be truly valuable.” said Yang.
Although Yang still needs to make improvements, like finding cheaper materials, his teacher Hong spoke highly of Yang’s creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown.
1.What does the underlined word “distinguish” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.use for B.find out C.make up D.pick up

b. Yang’s grandmother sometimes would hurt herself while using harvesting tools.
c. Yang’s grandmother offered suggestions to improve the machine.
d. Yang spent nearly a year building a model of the machine.
e. Yang kept on improving the machine better.
A.a—b—d—c—e B.a—b—e—c—d C.b—a—d—c—e D.b—a—c—d—e
4.What is Yang Jun’ao like according to the passage?
A.Happy, helpful and honest. B.Polite, talented and humorous.
C.Humorous, clever and friendly. D.Hard-working, caring and creative.
5.Which would be the best title for the passage?

Part 1: Read and Explore
It was a rainy, windy October afternoon. Garth stood outside his house with a wide smile. The weather was perfect for testing his new invention—Umbrella Hat. He could hardly wait to see whether it could keep the rain off. He walked along the street. The hat worked.
Suddenly, three boys in his neighborhood appeared and stopped him. Todd, the oldest one, pulled his Umbrella Hat off his head. “What’s this?” he asked.
“It’s an Umbrella Hat. You can wear it on rainy days and…” Garth said.
The boy laughed, “Will anyone wear that stupid thing?” Todd threw the hat onto the ground and then ran off.
Garth picked up his Umbrella Hat from the ground with tears. “Maybe Todd was right. In reality (现实), who would ever need my invention?” He lowered his head and said to himself.
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw a lady looking at him. “I was just leaving my house when I saw you and those boys. Are you okay?”
Then she saw the broken Umbrella Hat and asked, “Er…what’s that?”
“It’s my Umbrella Hat. I thought it out and made it by myself,” answered Garth.
“What a creative mind you have! Don’t ever let stupid boys play jokes on you! Keep inventing and one day you will create something really great!” she said.
“And you’ve given me a wonderful idea,” she continued. “I have a gadget (小器具) shop—Gadgets 4U. I’d like to hold a competition to find the best young gadget inventor in our town. I’ll display (展示) three best inventions. I’m sure you’ll have a chance of winning a prize.”

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国瓷器的历史,以及景德镇瓷器的重要性。
1.句意:中国是世界上最早生产瓷器的国家,所以瓷器又叫china。根据“china”可知,瓷器有另一个名字,备选词another“另一个”,泛指。故填another。
2.句意:如今,除了“四大发明”之外,中国瓷器被视为中国历史上最重要的发明之一。根据“inventions”前的“most”可知,这里需要填入一个形容词的最高级形式。备选词中,“important”的最高级为“the most important”,表示“最重要的”。故填important。
3.句意:景德镇被誉为“中国瓷都”。根据“as”并结合备选词汇可知,“be regarded as”意为“被誉为”。备选词中,regard的过去分词“regarded”符合题意。故填regarded。
4.句意:景德镇的瓷器产业经历了长期的发展。根据“in Jingdezhen”和“a long-term”可知,这里描述的是景德镇瓷器产业的长期发展历程。备选词中,“development”意为“发展”,符合语境。故填development。
5.句意:景德镇从东汉时期(25~220)开始生产瓷器,已有1800多年的历史。根据“for over 1,800 years”和“the Eastern Han Dynasty”可知,这里描述的是从东汉时期开始的时间段。备选词中,“since”意为“自从”,用于表示从过去某一时间点开始一直持续到现在的时间段。故填since。
6.句意:在五代时期(907~960),景德镇是华南地区第一个生产白瓷的地方,并取得了巨大成就。根据“white porcelains”和“the first place”可知这里指的是生产白瓷的地方,备选词produce“生产”符合语境,填不定式作定语。故填to produce。
7.句意:白瓷像玉一样白,像镜子一样亮,像纸一样薄。根据“as white as the jade, as bright as a mirror”可知,这里是形容白瓷的特点。备选词中,“thin”意为“薄的”符合语境,此处指的和纸一样薄。故填thin。
8.句意:景德镇瓷器雕刻的历史可以追溯到1000多年前。根据“of Jingdezhen porcelain carving (雕刻术) can date back to more than 1,000 years ago.”可知,这里描述的是景德镇瓷器雕刻的历史悠久。备选词中,“history”意为“历史”,符合语境。故填history。
9.句意:人们常常在别人的家里摆放瓷制的狮子、大象或其他吉祥兽的雕像。根据“homes”以及“at”并结合语境可知,这里描述的是在某个地方摆放瓷制雕像的情景。备选词中,“their”意为“他们的”,作为形容词性物主代词,可以修饰“homes”,表示“在他们的家里”。故填their。
10.句意:从17世纪开始,景德镇制造的瓷器就被带到了欧洲,如今在欧洲的许多大型博物馆里都可以看到。根据“in Europe today”和“many large”可知,这里描述的是在欧洲的许多大型场所里可以看到景德镇制造的瓷器。备选词中,“museum”意为“博物馆”,符合语境。又因为句子中提到了“many large”,所以需要用复数形式“museums”。故填museums。
11.句意:景德镇已成为中国最重要的瓷器产区和中国瓷器史上最著名的地方,也被称为“活的中国瓷器博物馆”。根据“for Chinese porcelain history”和“the most famous”可知,这里描述的是景德镇已成为中国最重要的瓷器产区和中国瓷器史上最著名的地方,备选词中,“place”意为“地方”符合语境,此处指的是景德镇,填名词单数。故填place。

七、阅读理解。
16-year-old Yang Jun’ao, a student from No. 1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots (采藕).
“I got the idea when I saw my grandmother, in her 70s, working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun,” Yang said. Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools.
To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.
With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot. The robot can move by itself in the muddy fields where lotus roots grow. It uses special technology to distinguish ripe roots by looking at the color of the lotus leaves. Then, its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them.
While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting. “The first time I used a hot glue gun, my hands were shaking,” Yang laughed. At first, he planned to use rotating blades (旋转叶片) for harvesting lotus roots. But it was hard to find them, so he used more common blades instead.
When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother, she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement. She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves. “My grandmother’s suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical to be truly valuable.” said Yang.
Although Yang still needs to make improvements, like finding cheaper materials, his teacher Hong spoke highly of Yang’s creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown.

【导语】本文主要讲述了一个青少年为帮助奶奶而发明收割莲藕机器人的故事。
1.词句猜测题。根据“by looking at the color of the lotus leaves”可知,此处是说通过观察叶子的颜色来区分成熟的根,即:通过颜色找出成熟的根,划线部分单词distinguish与find out“找出,查明”意思相近,故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting.”可知,杨在制作机器人的过程中,面临着为模型收集零件、将它们组装在一起,并用热熔胶枪进行连接3个挑战,故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段“Sometimes, his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools.”和第三段“To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.”可知,他的奶奶在收割莲藕时会伤到她的手指,所以他决定发明一种机器人,b在a之前,所以排除A和B;根据第四段“With the help of his teacher, Hong Wei, Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot”和倒数第二段“She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves.”可知,他先制作出了机器人模型,然后他的奶奶提出了改进机器人的建议,所以d在c之前,所以排除D。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段“To make things easier for his grandmother, he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her.”可知,他为了让奶奶收割莲藕的工作更轻松,所以他决定发明机器人,说明他很关心人;根据倒数第三段“While creating the robot, Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model, putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting.”可知,他在制作机器人的过程中面临着很多挑战,说明他很努力;根据最后一段“his teacher Hong spoke highly of Yang’s creative thinking and resolution to help his hometown”可知,他很有创造性,故选D。
5.最佳标题题。根据第一段“16-year-old Yang Jun’ao, a student from No. 1 Middle School in Nanxian County, Hunan Province, invented a robot to help harvest lotus roots (采藕).”并结合全文可知,本文主要讲述了一个青少年为帮助奶奶而发明收割莲藕机器人的故事,故选C。
