One summer, two teammates became ill after a long search mission. The doctor said unclean water was likely the cause. Zhao Lei began looking for a simple tool that could make river water safer. At the science museum, he tested a filter straw that weighed less than a pen. The guide explained that the fine mesh inside stopped most bacteria. Zhao Lei bought two and used them on the next training trip. Although the water still tasted plain, nobody felt sick afterward. He later wrote a short report and suggested keeping a straw in every rescue bag. His instructor praised the idea and asked him to show the tool at a local tech exhibition. Zhao Lei agreed, saying small inventions could protect people when big machines could not reach them in time. 31. Why did Zhao Lei look for a new tool? A. The museum was closing. B. He wanted to sell pens. C. His teammates got ill after drinking stream water. D. He lost his rescue bag. 32. What made the straw special according to the guide? A. The fine mesh inside B. Its bright color C. Its wooden handle D. Its high price 33. What happened on Zhao Lei's next training trip? A. He left the team. B. He refused to drink any water. C. The straw broke on the first day. D. Nobody felt sick after using the straws. 34. What did Zhao Lei suggest for rescue bags? A. Removing all water bottles B. Keeping a filter straw in each bag C. Carrying only heavy machines D. Avoiding mountain trips 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Small useful inventions can protect people in hard conditions. B. Stream water is always safe. C. Museums should stop workshops. D. Rescue teams do not need tools. （C） Dear Editor, I am writing about an elderly-care robot I saw at Chongqing Science Museum last week. My grandmother lives alone, and she often forgets her evening medicine. At the Smart Care Room, a nurse showed how the robot could speak in a gentle voice and flash a reminder on its small screen. It was the simple alarm system that impressed me most, not the fancy lights. The robot could also play soft music when my grandmother felt lonely at night. I know robots cannot replace family love, but they may help seniors stay safer when children work far away. I hope local companies will make the price lower so more families can use such tools. I also suggest adding a short training video for seniors who are not good at machines. If these improvements are made, I believe the invention will become more helpful in real homes. I plan to visit the museum again with my grandmother next month and ask the nurse more questions about daily use. Yours, Chen Mei 36. Why did Chen Mei visit the Smart Care Room? A. She was interested in tools for seniors living alone. B. She wanted to buy solar lamps. C. She planned a mountain trip. D. She worked as a museum guide. 37. What impressed Chen Mei most? A. The fancy lights B. The museum ticket C. The simple alarm system D. The loud music 38. What can the robot do at night? A. Cook hot meals B. Play soft music C. Wash clothes D. Repair solar panels 39. What does Chen Mei hope companies will do? A. Sell only to museums B. Stop all production C. Remove the screen D. Make the price lower 40. What extra idea does Chen Mei offer? A. Using robots instead of nurses everywhere B. Closing the Smart Care Room C. Adding a training video for seniors D. Banning reminders （D） Some people think useful inventions must be huge machines. I disagree. In daily work, I have seen small tools change lives faster than expensive systems. Take the water-filter straw. It is not a factory, yet it may protect a hiker within seconds. Solar lamps work the same way. Sunlight powers them, and that matters in villages far from city grids. Elderly-care robots also show that technology can support dignity, not just speed. A gentle reminder to take medicine may mean more to a lonely senior than a bright screen. Of course, inventors must test safety carefully. A clever idea becomes dangerous when users cannot understand it. Clear labels, simple buttons and honest instructions are part of good design. When museums let visitors try products themselves, people learn how inventions fit real needs. That is why I believe the best inventions are not always the loudest or the largest. They are the ones that solve a problem quietly and reliably for ordinary people every day in the field, at home and on the road. That belief guides how I choose tools for field work and travel. 41. What is the writer's opinion about useful inventions? A. They must always be huge machines. B. Screens are more important than safety. C. Only factories can solve problems. D. Small tools can also change lives. 42. Why does the writer mention solar lamps? A. To argue against clean energy B. To show sunlight can power useful tools in remote places C. To compare lamps with factory machines only D. To explain how to build city grids 43. According to the writer, what may matter most to a lonely senior? A. A louder speaker B. A faster computer game C. A gentle medicine reminder D. A bigger exhibition hall 44. What makes a clever idea dangerous? A. Users cannot understand it B. It uses sunlight C. It is too lightweight D. It has soft music 45. What conclusion does the writer draw? A. Labels are never necessary. B. Museums should hide new tools. C. Only loud machines are reliable. D. The best inventions solve problems quietly and reliably. 五、书面表达（共1题，满分10分） 你校英文网站正在征集短文。请写一篇约 60–80 词的英语短文，介绍你在重庆科技馆或科技展上见过的一件发明（如净水吸管、太阳能灯或养老护理机器人），说明它的功能，并谈谈它如何使生活更好。 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 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 A卷·基础巩固 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） Guide: Welcome to Chongqing Science Museum.

I disagree. In daily work, I have seen small tools change lives faster than expensive systems. Take the water-filter straw. It is not a factory, yet it may protect a hiker within seconds. Solar lamps work the same way. Sunlight powers them, and that matters in villages far from city grids. Elderly-care robots also show that technology can support dignity, not just speed. A gentle reminder to take medicine may mean more to a lonely senior than a bright screen. Of course, inventors must test safety carefully. A clever idea becomes dangerous when users cannot understand it. Clear labels, simple buttons and honest instructions are part of good design. When museums let visitors try products themselves, people learn how inventions fit real needs. That is why I believe the best inventions are not always the loudest or the largest. They are the ones that solve a problem quietly and reliably for ordinary people every day in the field, at home and on the road. That belief guides how I choose tools for field work and travel. 41.

It is light and easy to carry in a pocket. When I drank from a test bottle, the straw removed bacteria quickly and the water tasted clean. I think it is useful for hikers and outdoor workers because it can reduce health risks in the field. Small inventions like this make life safer and give people more confidence during hard trips. 【词汇积累】invention, filter, bacteria, solar lamp, elderly-care robot, useful, safe, improve, confidence 【句式拓展】It was the water-filter straw that impressed me most at the exhibition.
