Dr Li, a famous archaeologist, gave a talk at the City Museum on March 15, 2026. The talk was about how digital technology could help protect cultural relics.
"Many ancient sites are in danger because of weather and human activities," Dr Li said. "Making them digital is very important because it can keep a record forever."
Dr Li showed how 3-D scanning was used in the Terracotta Warriors project. Tourists can now see the warriors through virtual reality glasses, which allow them to "walk" among the statues as they were 2,000 years ago.
According to Dr Li, with digital maps, tourists can have a better experience. The maps provide audio guides and even show how the sites looked in different historical periods.

A new invention now allows blind people to "see" through touch. Using a special smart glove and a smartphone, blind people can identify objects around them.
The glove was developed by a team of engineers after they saw a blind man struggling to cross the street. The man used a white cane, but still had difficulty knowing what was ahead. This reminded the team that they should do something to help.
The glove has cameras and sensors. It first takes pictures of objects and sends them to a connected smartphone. The phone then uses AI to identify the objects and sends vibration signals to different fingers of the glove. Each finger stands for a different type of object: one for people, one for cars, one for obstacles, etc.
The company first tested the glove in Shanghai. It was chosen because of its large population and busy streets. However, when the product goes global, it can change the lives of millions of blind people.
"This is a game changer," said a user. "When I tried it for the first time, I was so amazed. The glove told me what was around me, and I felt much safer."
66. Who is the new invention helpful for?
A. Deaf people.
B. Blind people.
C. Old people.
D. Children.
67. Where did the idea of the glove come from?
A. A blind man crossing the street.
B. A smartphone maker.
C. A white cane.
D. A team of engineers.
68. What does the underlined word "identify" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Touch.
B. Recognize.
C. Lift.
D. Clean.
69. Where can we probably read this text?
A. In a travel guide.
B. In a science magazine.
C. In a history book.
D. In a storybook.

What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people believe that technology is going to solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, but it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples.
First, self-driving cars. They could reduce accidents caused by human error. However, if all cars are self-driving, there might be new problems like system failures or hacking.
Second, virtual reality (VR) classrooms. Students could visit ancient Rome or the bottom of the ocean without leaving their desks. But the cost of VR equipment is high, and some students may feel dizzy after using it for a long time.
Finally, smart homes. They allow people to control lights, temperature and security with their voice. It might help old people live independently. However, there are worries about privacy and data safety.
It is easy to imagine a future. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer.
70. 【新考法·写作手法】How does the writer start the text?

A. Self-driving cars can completely stop all accidents.
B. VR classrooms can take students to the bottom of the ocean.

Mr Wang is a teacher from a middle school. He asked his students to hand in their homework through voice messages.
The voice messages can be sent to Mr Wang by WeChat. When Wang listens to his students' voice messages, their homework becomes more lively, with different tones and emotions. He finds that shy students are more willing to speak than write.
Wang's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in a digital age. Many students like to talk on phones, which makes learning more fun," said Mingming, a student of Wang's. "Writing is slow, but speaking is quick and easy."
Wang said, "It is worth trying to use new technology in education. I don't want my students to fall behind the times."
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend more time on phones and less time reading books. But in fact, students only use voice messages when they hand in oral homework, which doesn't take too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students' pronunciation at any time.

The influence of digital life on teenagers
Digital life has become a big part of teenagers' daily life. It brings both convenience and challenges.
On the one hand, digital life makes things much easier. We can search for information online in seconds instead of spending hours in the library. Also, we can keep in touch with friends and family through video calls no matter how far away they are.
On the other hand, there are some problems. Spending too much time on screens can harm our eyesight. Besides, some teenagers may become addicted to online games and ignore their studies.
In my opinion, we should use digital devices wisely. Set a time limit for screen time and focus more on real-life activities. Only in this way can we enjoy the benefits of digital life without losing our health and studies.
