Great inventions shape our world. Every time we use a car, a phone or a printer, we should thank the great inventors in history.
Thomas Newcomen invented the first steam engine in 1712. At that time, people needed to dig coal from deep ground. His engine helped people work at great 1 underground. However, the first steam engine was not very 2 and wasted lots of energy.
Years later, James Watt made great 3 to the steam engine. He changed its structure and added new parts. The improved engine became much stronger and could be 4 in trains, ships and factories. It even pushed the Industrial Revolution forward.
Watt also invented the word “horsepower” to show how 5 an engine could be. Later, people named the unit of power “watt” to 6 him.
Inventions never stop. From ancient movable type to modern digital printers, from simple wheels to fast flying cars, humans always keep 7 new things. Some inventions make our life more 8 ; some help us save time and energy; others let us know more about the world.

At the 15th National Games, a special helper slowly came into public view—a six-legged guide robot there to help blind people. It was not just a cold machine; it moved gently and worked carefully and wisely, just like a friend.
During the Games, the robot became useful “eyes” for many visitors who have trouble seeing. It could understand spoken words and lead the way safely. In busy places like stadiums and parks, the robot moved smoothly. It “saw” things in the way, such as chairs or people walking by, and quickly found a safer path. This helped blind visitors move around more easily and feel less worried.
What makes this robot special is its six legs. They help it walk well on different terrains—inside buildings, on grass, or on streets. Besides, it does not always need the internet to work. After the Games, the robot still helps people. Now it guides blind people in train stations, airports, and other public places. It can also tell users about traffic lights and help at home.
Like Easton’s story of the helping hand, this robot shows how a good idea can become helpful. Unlike (不像) expensive medical equipment, it is made to be light, safe, and not costly—something ordinary families can actually consider buying. This way, more people can use it. The robot does not just help with walking—it gives more freedom, safety, and friendship to those who need it.
In short, this six-legged guide robot was more than just a star at the National Games. It showed us a future of smart and friendly technology. This kind of technology is inexpensive and can become a part of everyday life. Now, by helping blind people in stations, airports, and even at home, it is truly making the world safer, and warmer.
16.How does the writer begin the passage?
A.By describing a vivid scene. B.By asking some questions.
C.By telling an interesting story. D.By giving enough examples.
17.How did the robot help blind visitors during the Games?
A.It guided them. B.It comforted them.
C.It talked to them. D.It found seats for them.
18.What does the underlined word “terrains” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Parts of buildings. B.Sizes of robots.
C.Types of ground. D.Weather conditions.
19.Why does the writer mention Easton’s story of the helping hand?
A.To show that building robots is very expensive.
B.To explain how the robot’s legs were designed.
C.To give an example of another helpful machine.
D.To show how good ideas can help people in real life.
20.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A Smart but Expensive Robot B.Helping Hands at the Games
C.The Story of a Six-Legged Robot D.A Six-legged Helper for the Blind
C
More and more car makers are introducing smart cars that can drive themselves. But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: Are auto-pilot (自动驾驶) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take?
Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilot cars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling.
However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect, especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ________ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect.
The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology? We’ll see what the future holds.
21.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The history of auto-pilot cars. B.The advantages of auto-pilot cars.
C.Auto-pilot cars are a dream for people. D.The possible danger of self-driving cars.
22.According to Paragraph 3, self-driving cars might ________.
A.make bad decisions in difficult situations B.stop all kinds of car accidents from happening
C.make driving fun and relaxing for most drivers D.keep our personal information safe
23.Which of the following can be put in “________”?
A.The technology is too expensive for most people. B.People believe in these cars too much sometimes.
C.Auto-pilot technology makes drivers tired. D.Self-driving cars do not make many mistakes.
24.The underlined word “they” refers to “________”.
A.human mistakes B.the discussions C.computers on cars D.self-driving cars
25.What’s the purpose (目的) of this passage?
A.To tell us each coin has two sides. B.To give useful advice.
C.To stop people from making mistakes. D.To tell us about new things.
第二节 信息还原 (共 5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)
以下是一则短文,请阅读全文,并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
The word “inventor” may make people think of something difficult. But in fact, anyone can be an inventor! 26 Here is how you can bring your idea to life.
Find a problem to solve.
27 Will it make a daily task easier? Will it help people in a new way? Knowing this will help you guide your design. Then, start thinking of ideas that can solve the problem.
28
After you know the problem, it’s time to go online to check if anything like your idea already exists. If you find the same product online, you need a new idea. If not, you are lucky! You may have a great new idea for your invention.
Make a prototype (原型) to see how it works.
A prototype is a model of your final product. You can start by drawing a picture of your idea. 29 This helps you see if your idea really works. Sometimes, you may make a few different prototypes before you get it right.
This is not always an easy job, but it is very interesting. 30
A.Do research to see if your idea is new.
B.Remember, every great invention starts with a simple idea and a lot of hard work.
C.You can also share your idea with your friends to get more new ideas.
D.Then, you can try to make a simple model with things around your house.
E.If you have a new idea for a product, you can make it real.
F.Think about what problem your invention will work out.

参考答案
一、
1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.B 8.A 9.C 10.A
【导语】本文介绍伟大发明对世界的影响,重点讲述蒸汽机的发明与改进,说明发明改变生活,旨在鼓励学生勇于创新。
【详解】1.句意:他的引擎帮助人们在地下深处工作。
根据前文“dig coal from deep ground”可知,是在地下深处工作,depths“深度”符合语境。heights“高度”;speeds“速度”;times“次数”与地下挖掘语境不符。
2.句意:然而,第一台蒸汽机不是很强大且浪费能源。
根据“wasted lots of energy”及后文Watt改进后引擎“stronger”可知,最初的引擎不够强大powerful。weak“弱的”;cheap“便宜的”;small“小的”与语境矛盾。
3.句意:詹姆斯·瓦特对蒸汽机做了重大改进。
根据“changed its structure and added new parts”可知,这是对引擎的优化改进,improvements“改进”符合语境。mistakes“错误”;decisions“决定”;problems“问题”不符合瓦特贡献的事实。
4.句意:改进后的引擎可以被用在火车、轮船和工厂里。
根据语境,引擎是在交通工具和工厂中被投入使用,used“使用”符合语境。sold“卖”;built“建造”;built“保持”不符合引擎功能的描述。
5.句意:瓦特发明“马力”一词来显示引擎有多强大。
根据“horsepower”及前文提到引擎变得“stronger”可知,此处指引擎的力量强弱,strong形容动力强弱。weak“弱的”;heavy“重的”;slow“慢的”与马力定义无关。
6.句意:后来人们命名功率单位“瓦特”来纪念他。
以发明者名字命名单位是为了纪念其贡献,remember“纪念”符合语境。forget“忘记”;dislike“不喜欢”;refuse“拒绝”情感色彩不符。
7.句意:从古活字印刷术到现代数码打印机,从简易车轮到高速飞行汽车,人类一直保持发明新事物。
固定搭配keep doing sth.表示“一直做某事”,需用动名词形式inventing。invent/to invent/invented形式错误。
8.句意:一些发明使我们的生活更方便;有些发明帮我们节省时间与精力;另一些则让我们更了解这个世界。
根据发明带来的积极影响(save time and energy)可知,生活变得更便利convenient。difficult“困难的”;boring“无聊的”;dangerous“危险的”均为消极词汇。
9.句意:没有这些伟大发明,我们无法过上舒适的生活。
