三、基础满分范文(简单好背、零错误)
Topic: The Greatest Invention — Papermaking
Among all great inventions, I think papermaking is the most useful one of all time.
It was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before papermaking was invented, people wrote on bamboo, stone or silk. Those materials were either hard to store or very expensive. Cai Lun used bark, old cloth and plant fibre to make new paper. The paper was light, soft and cheap.
Papermaking not only speeded up the development of Chinese culture, but also changed world civilizations. It resulted in the rapid spread of knowledge around the world.
In my opinion, it is one of the greatest inventions in history.
(词数:92)
四、进阶高分范文(句式丰富、适合冲满分)
Topic: A Useful Invention — The Radio
In my mind, the radio is one of the most wonderful inventions ever made.
It was invented by an Italian inventor called Guglielmo Marconi. In the 1890s, Marconi developed the idea of wireless communication. In 1901, a radio message was sent across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. Before the radio appeared, information travelled very slowly and could not spread far.
The radio has a big effect on the whole world. It makes it possible for news and music to spread around the world in seconds. It not only connects people far away, but also influences the development of later inventions like television.
Thanks to this great invention, our world becomes much smaller and more connected.
(词数:98)

六、写作扣分避坑要点
1. 写发明历史统一用过去时被动(was/were + 过去分词)
2. not only…but also 连接并列结构,前后句式保持一致
3. 坚决避免中式句子,优先使用课文原句、背诵套句
4. 结尾必须加个人观点,保证结构完整

二、阅读理解
As one of China’s most famous inventions, papermaking is a great treasure of ancient civilization, which greatly changed human life. Before its creation, people depended on heavy bamboo slips, expensive silk, or hard animal bones to record information. These materials were either hard to carry or too costly, making it difficult for people to share knowledge widely.
The earliest paper dates back to the Western Han Dynasty. It was made from simple plant materials like hemp and rags (麻类和破布), but the quality was not good enough for daily use. This invention slowly developed, and people kept trying to find better ways to make paper.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun made a major improvement in papermaking. He used common and easy-to-get materials such as bark, straw, and old fishing nets. This change made paper cheaper and more practical. Soon, paper became popular among people, greatly pushing the development of education and culture.
Papermaking later spread to other countries through trade and cultural exchange. It first reached Asian countries, then spread to Europe, and finally to all parts of the world. Even today, paper remains an important part of our daily life, from books to documents. This ancient Chinese invention still shows its lasting value in connecting people and spreading knowledge.

Topic: The Greatest Invention — Papermaking
Among all great inventions, I think papermaking is the most useful one of all time.
It was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before papermaking was invented, people wrote on bamboo, stone or silk. Those materials were either hard to store or very expensive. Cai Lun used bark, old cloth and plant fibre to make new paper. The paper was light, soft and cheap.
Papermaking not only speeded up the development of Chinese culture, but also changed world civilizations. It resulted in the rapid spread of knowledge around the world.
In my opinion, it is one of the greatest inventions in history.
(词数:92)
四、进阶高分范文(句式丰富、适合冲满分)
Topic: A Useful Invention — The Radio
In my mind, the radio is one of the most wonderful inventions ever made.
It was invented by an Italian inventor called Guglielmo Marconi. In the 1890s, Marconi developed the idea of wireless communication. In 1901, a radio message was sent across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. Before the radio appeared, information travelled very slowly and could not spread far.
The radio has a big effect on the whole world. It makes it possible for news and music to spread around the world in seconds. It not only connects people far away, but also influences the development of later inventions like television.
Thanks to this great invention, our world becomes much smaller and more connected.

—I took them with my new ________ in the park.
A.camera B.radio C.wallet D.notebook
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你的新照片真漂亮。你在哪里拍的?——我用我的新相机在公园拍的。

【详解】句意:这位艺术家设计了一盏莲花形状的新灯,看起来非常优雅。
size尺寸;colour颜色;shape形状;sound声音。根据“of a lotus flower”(莲花的)以及“looks very elegant”(看起来非常优雅)可知,这里描述的是灯的外观形态,即模仿了莲花的“形状”。in the shape of是固定搭配,意为“以……的形状”,符合语境。
6.The monitor is a(n) ________ student. He always finishes his tasks on time and helps others.
A.funny B.honest C.confident D.responsible

8.The solar-powered car, like many other green inventions, is not perfect ________. But it shows a hopeful future.
A.himself B.itself C.herself D.themselves
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这辆太阳能汽车,和许多其他绿色发明一样,它本身并不完美,但它展现出充满希望的未来。
himself他自己;itself它自己;herself她自己;themselves他们自己。反身代词要和句子主语保持一致,本句主语The solar‑powered car是单数事物,用itself。A指代男性,C指代女性,D指代复数,应填itself。

10.The terrible earthquake ________ the loss of thousands of homes in the area.
A.resulted from B.resulted in C.turned into D.looked forward to
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这场可怕的地震造成该地区成千上万家庭失去家园。

二、阅读理解
As one of China’s most famous inventions, papermaking is a great treasure of ancient civilization, which greatly changed human life. Before its creation, people depended on heavy bamboo slips, expensive silk, or hard animal bones to record information. These materials were either hard to carry or too costly, making it difficult for people to share knowledge widely.
The earliest paper dates back to the Western Han Dynasty. It was made from simple plant materials like hemp and rags (麻类和破布), but the quality was not good enough for daily use. This invention slowly developed, and people kept trying to find better ways to make paper.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun made a major improvement in papermaking. He used common and easy-to-get materials such as bark, straw, and old fishing nets. This change made paper cheaper and more practical. Soon, paper became popular among people, greatly pushing the development of education and culture.
Papermaking later spread to other countries through trade and cultural exchange. It first reached Asian countries, then spread to Europe, and finally to all parts of the world. Even today, paper remains an important part of our daily life, from books to documents. This ancient Chinese invention still shows its lasting value in connecting people and spreading knowledge.

【答案】11.B 12.B 13.D 14.C 15.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国四大发明之一——造纸术的发展历史及其对世界的深远影响。
【详解】11.文章开头先点明造纸术是中国古代的伟大发明,接着用“Before its creation, people depended on heavy bamboo slips, expensive silk, or hard animal bones…”与后来轻便、便宜的纸张形成对比,突出造纸术带来的巨大改变,因此是通过对比来引入主题的。
12.梳理全文线索,文中依次出现“Before its creation(纸发明前)”“Western Han Dynasty(西汉)”“Eastern Han Dynasty(东汉)”“later spread to other countries(之后传播到其他国家)”“Even today(如今)”等时间节点,是按照时间顺序展开叙述的。
13.由第二段“the quality was not good enough for daily use”可知,西汉早期纸张的质量不足以用于日常使用。
14.由第三段“This change made paper cheaper and more practical”可知,蔡伦的改进使纸张更便宜、更实用,从而普及。
15.由最后一段“Papermaking later spread to other countries through trade and cultural exchange”可知,贸易帮助造纸术传播到全球,选D。A项错误,由“It first reached Asian countries, then spread to Europe”可知,造纸术首先传到亚洲国家,然后才传到欧洲;B项错误,由“then spread to Europe, and finally to all parts of the world”可知,造纸术传播到了欧洲和世界各地,不仅限于亚洲;C项错误,由“Even today, paper remains an important part of our daily life”可知,纸张至今仍在日常生活中发挥着重要作用。
三、单词拼写
16.Our office bought a new ________ (打印机) to print teaching materials.
【答案】printer
【详解】句意:我们办公室买了一台新的打印机来打印教学材料。根据中文提示“打印机”可知,此处应用名词printer。不定冠词a后面接可数名词单数。
17.We are learning the history of this great ________ (发明) in class today.
【答案】invention
【详解】句意:今天我们在课堂上学习这项伟大发明的历史。空格前的“this great”修饰后面名词,此处要填表示“发明”的名词;对应的英文名词是invention,指代单数的某项发明。
18.Using too many ________ (塑料的) products is harmful to our environment.
【答案】plastic
【详解】句意:使用太多塑料制品对我们的环境有害。此处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的products,用来表示物品的材质,中文提示“塑料的”对应plastic。plastic products表示“塑料制品”。
19.The ice will ________ (融化) when the temperature rises.
【答案】melt
【详解】句意:当温度升高时,冰会融化。根据汉语提示可知,melt“融化”,动词。空前有助动词will,后接动词原形,构成一般将来时。故填melt。
20.________ (造纸术) changed the whole world.
【答案】Papermaking
【详解】句意:造纸术改变了整个世界。根据汉语提示可知,papermaking“造纸术”,名词。句首字母大写,故填Papermaking。
四、完成句子

【详解】原句中“迅速”以及“广泛地”是关键词,表示“迅速”的单词是quickly,quickly在这里作副词,修饰动词“used”。“广泛地”对应的单词是widely,widely在这里作副词,同样修饰动词“used”。两个副词由and连接并列使用。故填quickly;widely。
23.People should protect the natural environment.(改为被动语态)
The natural environment ________ ________ ________ by people.
【答案】 should be protected
【详解】句意:人们应该保护自然环境。原句含有情态动词should,情态动词被动语态结构:should + be + 谓语动词的过去分词,protect的过去分词为protected。主动句宾语the natural environment变为被动句主语。故填should;be;protected。
24.我们正试图找到更好的塑料回收利用方法。
We are ________ ________ find better ways to recycle plastic.
【答案】 trying to
【详解】原句中“试图”是关键词,表示“试图做某事”用try to do sth,句中“正”表示动作正在进行,需用现在进行时(be + doing),主语We后已有be动词are,故try需变为现在分词trying。
