The museum does not only show old tools. It explains why an improved method changed how people learned and shared ideas. A guide begins each visit with one question: 'How would you record a good idea if paper were too expensive?' Many children first answer, 'Use a tablet.' Then the guide asks them to imagine a time without tablets, phones or cheap notebooks. They begin to understand that a simple sheet of paper once opened a door to reading, drawing and sending messages. The museum also has a task corner. Visitors try to make a small piece of paper by hand. The work looks easy, but it needs patience. If the fiber is not spread evenly, the paper breaks. If the sheet is taken out too early, it cannot dry well. Through the task, visitors learn that an invention is not only a bright idea. It also needs repeated testing and improvement. Before leaving, each visitor writes one sentence on handmade paper. Some write about reading; others write about family messages or future dreams. The wall of sentences shows that a useful invention can travel across time and still connect people today. 49．What does the museum explain about the improved method of paper-making? A． It made tablets cheaper. | B． It changed how people learned and shared ideas. C． It stopped people from drawing. | D． It made bamboo disappear. 50．Why does the guide ask children to imagine a time without tablets?

The room is not large, but its maps, tools and photos make many travelers stop. A long line on the wall shows how a railway can stretch from busy cities to high mountains. The most popular map shows a route that had to pass through hills. A note says that many people once believed the task was impossible. The builders did not answer doubt with loud words. They measured the land again and again, changed the plan when the mountain blocked the way, and recorded every problem in thick notebooks. Their work turned a dangerous idea into a brilliant piece of engineering. A volunteer guide often asks young visitors to complete a small schedule. They put important events in order: interest in machines, study, return, design, hard work and completion. The task helps them see that success is not a single moment. It is built through many connected choices. A person who returns to solve a hard problem may bring knowledge, courage and responsibility together. The exhibition room also compares older railways with high-speed railways. Old trains moved slowly and used coal, while modern trains run faster and use cleaner power. The guide never says one story replaces another. Instead, she explains that new achievements stand on earlier efforts. When visitors leave, the sound of trains outside seems to carry both memory and hope. 53．What makes many travelers stop in the exhibition room? A． Only expensive gifts from cities. | B． Maps, tools and photos about railway builders. C． A restaurant menu on the wall. | D． A rule that stops all trains. 54．What does the underlined word “route” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A． A planned way for travel. | B． A small meal for workers. C． A type of notebook. | D． A person who doubts others. 55．What does the schedule task help young visitors understand? A． Success comes from one easy moment. B． Modern trains should replace all old stories. C． Success is built through many connected choices. D． Mountains are not important in railway work. 56．What idea does the guide express when comparing old and modern railways? A． Cleaner power is useless for trains. B． Earlier efforts have no value now. C． Every railway should use coal. D． New achievements stand on earlier efforts. 【答案】53．B 54．A 55．C 56．D 【导语】本文是一篇人文叙事类记叙文，讲述山地铁路站旁的展览室通过地图、工具、时间表和新旧铁路对比，呈现工程建设者克服困难、连接过去与未来的故事。 【详解】53．第一段写maps, tools and photos make many travelers stop。 54．route指铁路行进路线。 55．第三段说明成功由许多相连选择构成。 56．最后一段说明new achievements stand on earlier efforts。 D Why do people remember inventors and engineers? The answer is not only that they created useful things. More importantly, their work changed the way people solved problems. A good invention may begin with a daily need: people want to record ideas, see in the dark, travel faster or communicate more easily. Useful inventions usually share three features. First, they reduce difficulty. Paper made writing and sharing knowledge easier. The light bulb gave people more time to study and work. Second, they connect people. A plane connects faraway places, and a smartphone helps people stay in touch. Third, they keep improving. A tool that is useful today may become smaller, faster or cleaner tomorrow. Important engineering events show the same spirit. A railway is not just a line of metal. It connects workers, travelers, cities and mountains. When engineers meet a hard place, they must study the land, compare methods and complete the task safely. In this process, courage and knowledge work together. However, remembering great people should not become empty praise. Students can learn more by asking practical questions. What problem did the person notice? What method did he or she improve? What difficulty had to be overcome? Such questions turn a name into a lesson. They also remind us that ordinary work can become meaningful when it helps others. People and events from the past are like shoulders under our feet. They help us see farther, but we still need to move forward by ourselves. If young people keep curiosity, patience and responsibility, they may create something helpful in their own fields. 57．According to Paragraph 1, why do people remember inventors and engineers? A． Because they never meet problems. | B． Because they only become famous. C． Because their work changed ways of solving problems. | D． Because they dislike useful things. 58．Which feature is mentioned about useful inventions? A． They make all work slower. | B． They reduce difficulty. C． They stop people from communicating. | D． They never improve. 59．What should engineers do when they meet a hard place? A． Give up the task at once. | B． Study the land and compare methods. C． Write empty praise only. | D． Forget safety. 60．What is the writer's main purpose? A． To encourage young people to learn and move forward. B． To tell students not to ask questions. C． To prove old tools are always better than new tools. D． To make people travel less. 【答案】57．C 58．B 59．B 60．A 【导语】本文是一篇观点说理文，说明人们记住发明家和工程师的原因，概括有用发明的特点，并引导学生理解人物与事件背后的责任、方法和进步精神。 【详解】57．第一段指出their work changed the way people solved problems。 58．第二段提到reduce difficulty。 59．第三段写工程师必须study the land, compare methods。 60．文章鼓励年轻人学习成就并继续前进。 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据对话内容，从方框内A、B、C、D、E五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 A: Excuse me.

The museum does not only show old tools. It explains why an improved method changed how people learned and shared ideas. A guide begins each visit with one question: 'How would you record a good idea if paper were too expensive?' Many children first answer, 'Use a tablet.' Then the guide asks them to imagine a time without tablets, phones or cheap notebooks. They begin to understand that a simple sheet of paper once opened a door to reading, drawing and sending messages. The museum also has a task corner. Visitors try to make a small piece of paper by hand. The work looks easy, but it needs patience. If the fiber is not spread evenly, the paper breaks. If the sheet is taken out too early, it cannot dry well. Through the task, visitors learn that an invention is not only a bright idea. It also needs repeated testing and improvement. Before leaving, each visitor writes one sentence on handmade paper. Some write about reading; others write about family messages or future dreams. The wall of sentences shows that a useful invention can travel across time and still connect people today. 49．What does the museum explain about the improved method of paper-making? A． It made tablets cheaper. | B． It changed how people learned and shared ideas. C． It stopped people from drawing. | D． It made bamboo disappear. 50．Why does the guide ask children to imagine a time without tablets? A． To make them dislike modern tools. | B． To sell old notebooks. C． To help them understand the value of paper. | D． To ask them to leave the museum. 51．What may happen if the fiber is not spread evenly? A． The paper breaks. | B． The paper becomes a train. C． The worker finishes early. | D． The museum closes. 52．What is the passage mainly about? A．Why handmade paper cannot carry messages. B． Why all visitors must use tablets. C． How to buy bamboo at a market. D． How a paper museum shows invention and improvement. C Beside a mountain railway station, a small exhibition room keeps stories about builders who worked on difficult routes. The room is not large, but its maps, tools and photos make many travelers stop. A long line on the wall shows how a railway can stretch from busy cities to high mountains. The most popular map shows a route that had to pass through hills. A note says that many people once believed the task was impossible. The builders did not answer doubt with loud words. They measured the land again and again, changed the plan when the mountain blocked the way, and recorded every problem in thick notebooks. Their work turned a dangerous idea into a brilliant piece of engineering. A volunteer guide often asks young visitors to complete a small schedule. They put important events in order: interest in machines, study, return, design, hard work and completion. The task helps them see that success is not a single moment. It is built through many connected choices. A person who returns to solve a hard problem may bring knowledge, courage and responsibility together. The exhibition room also compares older railways with high-speed railways. Old trains moved slowly and used coal, while modern trains run faster and use cleaner power. The guide never says one story replaces another. Instead, she explains that new achievements stand on earlier efforts. When visitors leave, the sound of trains outside seems to carry both memory and hope. 53．What makes many travelers stop in the exhibition room? A． Only expensive gifts from cities. | B． Maps, tools and photos about railway builders. C． A restaurant menu on the wall. | D． A rule that stops all trains. 54．What does the underlined word “route” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A． A planned way for travel. | B． A small meal for workers. C． A type of notebook. | D． A person who doubts others. 55．What does the schedule task help young visitors understand? A． Success comes from one easy moment. B． Modern trains should replace all old stories. C． Success is built through many connected choices. D． Mountains are not important in railway work. 56．What idea does the guide express when comparing old and modern railways? A． Cleaner power is useless for trains. B． Earlier efforts have no value now. C． Every railway should use coal. D． New achievements stand on earlier efforts. D Why do people remember inventors and engineers? The answer is not only that they created useful things. More importantly, their work changed the way people solved problems. A good invention may begin with a daily need: people want to record ideas, see in the dark, travel faster or communicate more easily. Useful inventions usually share three features. First, they reduce difficulty. Paper made writing and sharing knowledge easier. The light bulb gave people more time to study and work. Second, they connect people. A plane connects faraway places, and a smartphone helps people stay in touch. Third, they keep improving. A tool that is useful today may become smaller, faster or cleaner tomorrow. Important engineering events show the same spirit. A railway is not just a line of metal. It connects workers, travelers, cities and mountains. When engineers meet a hard place, they must study the land, compare methods and complete the task safely. In this process, courage and knowledge work together. However, remembering great people should not become empty praise. Students can learn more by asking practical questions. What problem did the person notice? What method did he or she improve? What difficulty had to be overcome? Such questions turn a name into a lesson. They also remind us that ordinary work can become meaningful when it helps others. People and events from the past are like shoulders under our feet. They help us see farther, but we still need to move forward by ourselves. If young people keep curiosity, patience and responsibility, they may create something helpful in their own fields. 57．According to Paragraph 1, why do people remember inventors and engineers? A． Because they never meet problems. | B． Because they only become famous. C． Because their work changed ways of solving problems. | D． Because they dislike useful things. 58．Which feature is mentioned about useful inventions? A． They make all work slower. | B． They reduce difficulty. C． They stop people from communicating. | D． They never improve. 59．What should engineers do when they meet a hard place? A． Give up the task at once. | B． Study the land and compare methods. C． Write empty praise only. | D． Forget safety. 60．What is the writer's main purpose? A． To encourage young people to learn and move forward. B． To tell students not to ask questions. C． To prove old tools are always better than new tools. D． To make people travel less. 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据对话内容，从方框内A、B、C、D、E五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 A: Excuse me. I am preparing a short talk about inventions. ____61____ B: Sure.
