Your team showed how a fall sensor and a one-button alarm could work together in a small apartment. It was your live repair demo that helped me understand the device, not the long PowerPoint slides. After the talk, I visited your workshop and watched a trainee replace a worn wire on a sample robot. I realized that good inventions need both smart design and easy maintenance. My grandfather lives alone, and I hope to install a similar alarm for him when the price becomes lower. Could you please send me a simple English user guide and a list of local repair points? I would also like to know whether volunteers can join your next public test session on the Jialing River bank next month. I will share the guide with my classmates at the vocational workshop after I receive it. The demo also showed how clear English labels help seniors use new tools safely at home. Best wishes, Yang Hui 36. What helped Yang Hui understand the device most? A. The live repair demo B. Long PowerPoint slides C. A river swim D. A factory sale 37. What did Yang Hui watch in the workshop? A. A guide selling tickets B. A chef cooking soup C. A trainee replacing a worn wire D. A driver fixing a bus 38. What did Yang Hui realize about good inventions? A. They should never be repaired. B. They need smart design and easy maintenance. C. They must use only paper labels. D. They are useless for seniors. 39. What materials does Yang Hui ask for? A. A new smartphone B. A solar panel and straw C. A museum map only D. An English user guide and repair point list 40. What activity does Yang Hui hope to join? A. A holiday parade B. A cooking competition C. A public test session on the Jialing River bank D. A ticket auction （D） People often praise inventors for bright ideas, but users remember reliability longer than surprise. At a recent tech exhibition, I compared three tools: a filter straw, a solar care lamp and an elderly alarm robot. The straw won praise for speed, yet guides warned that users must replace the core on time. The lamp impressed visitors with quiet light, but only after engineers explained how the battery was protected from overheating. The robot attracted photos, yet nurses said trust grew slowly when seniors heard the same gentle voice every evening. These examples show that invention is not a single moment of genius. It is a long chain of testing, repair, labeling and honest feedback. Workshops matter because they let people touch wires, clean filters and read safety notes with their own hands. Without that step, even a clever product may fail in real apartments, riverbanks or hillside rooms. So when we say inventions make life better, we should also ask who maintains them and who teaches users. Better tools appear when designers and workers share the same goal: quiet help that lasts for years in ordinary homes. This lesson matters for anyone who wants to build tools people trust. 41. What do users remember longer according to the writer? A. Fancy photos B. Surprise only C. Loud music D. Reliability 42. Why did guides warn users about the filter straw? A. It cannot filter any water. B. They must replace the core on time. C. It is heavier than a chair. D. It works only in museums. 43. When did visitors truly appreciate the solar care lamp? A. When the lamp was turned off B. Before they entered the hall C. After engineers explained battery protection D. When photos were banned 44. What makes workshops important in the writer's view? A. People can touch parts and read safety notes themselves. B. They hide all failures. C. They replace family care. D. They stop public tests. 45. What goal should designers and workers share? A. More confusing buttons B. Faster photo sharing C. Larger exhibition halls D. Quiet help that lasts 五、书面表达（共1题，满分10分） 某英文发明主题网站征集用户体验报告。请写 60–80 词，描述你在工作坊或科技展上见过的一件养老/净水/太阳能类发明，说明它解决什么问题，并表达你对该产品改进的一条建议。 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：本套试卷紧扣《英语 基础模块2》（外研版第二版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点。 每个单元设置AB卷，A卷为基础巩固卷，侧重基础考点训练，帮助学生扎实掌握知识要点；B卷为能力提升卷，注重知识整合与全面检测，引导学生构建知识网络。全书设计4份综合测试卷，模拟实战情境，聚焦解题能力突破，全面提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 《英语 基础模块2》（外研版第二版）《单元过关卷》 Unit 7 Inventions Make Life Better B卷·能力提升 考试时间：60分钟 满分：100分 班级_____姓名_____学号_____成绩_____ 一、交际应用（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下面两段对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成对话。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （A） Engineer: This elderly-care robot was designed for seniors who live alone.

It can remind seniors to take medicine and send a fall alert to family phones. I think it solves a real problem for people living alone when children work far away. However, the button labels were too small for my grandfather to read. I suggest adding a pictorial guide and a louder day-time alarm so users of different ages can operate it more easily. 【词汇积累】elderly-care, reminder, fall alert, maintenance, user guide, improve, reliable, workshop, feedback 【句式拓展】It was the live repair demo that helped me understand how the robot works. Good inventions should be easy to maintain as well as easy to use. 【点睛】先写所见场景与功能，再点明解决的问题，最后提出一条具体、礼貌的改进建议。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
