四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
When we think of inventors, we usually imagine old men in white coats surrounded by wires and tools. However, 17-year-old Emma Rodriguez from Miami is changing that image. She recently invented a low-cost water purification (净化) device that is now being used in several remote villages in South America.
Emma’s journey started two years ago during a geography lesson. Her teacher showed a video of children drinking dirty water, which led to serious health problems. Emma was shocked. “I thought, ‘This isn’t fair,’” she recalled. “I wanted to do something to help.”
She began researching water purification methods online. Most existing devices were too expensive or required electricity, which many villages lacked. Emma decided to focus on a solar-powered solution. Using a second-hand microscope she bought with her pocket money, she studied how UV (紫外线) light kills bacteria. She then spent months designing a small, portable device shaped like a water bottle.
The biggest challenge was the cost. To keep it affordable, Emma used recycled plastic and a cheap UV LED light. She tested over fifty designs. Once, her device leaked (漏水) during a test, soaking her notes. “I felt like crying,” she admitted, “but I knew giving up wasn’t an option.”
Finally, she succeeded. Her device can clean one liter of water in just 15 minutes using only sunlight. It costs less than $5 to make. An international charity organization noticed her work and helped her send 500 units to Colombia. Local residents say the device has greatly improved their health.
Emma has no plans to patent her invention for profit. Instead, she has open-sourced her design online, allowing anyone to download and produce it for free. “Ideas should be shared, especially when they can save lives,” she says. “I hope more teens realize that age is just a number. If you see a problem, you can be the one to solve it.”
31.What inspired Emma to invent the water purification device?
A.A lesson about health problems.
B.A video shown in a geography class.
C.A visit to remote villages in Colombia.
D.An article about solar energy technology.
32.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How Emma solved the funding problem.
B.Why Emma chose UV light for her device.
C.The process of Emma’s invention and design.
D.The importance of using recycled materials.
33.What does the underlined phrase “giving up wasn’t an option” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.She didn’t have time to rest. B.She didn’t have the right tools.
C.She was determined to continue. D.She was allowed to stop working.
34.Which of the following words can best describe Emma?
A.Humorous and quiet. B.Honest and friendly.
C.Creative and selfless. D.Brave and noisy.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Emma will start a company to sell her device.
B.Emma wants to keep her invention a secret.
C.Emma believes teenagers can make a difference.
D.Emma plans to study abroad to learn more about water.
Aarrav has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) (帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. _________
More than 7 million people in India have PD.The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.
Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors (传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well.
“It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview.
Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.
The smart spoon has been tested at a local college. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.

The world is changing very fast. Scientific technologies are now influencing a 61 every field of life. A scientist once said that success in developing scientific technologies would be one of the biggest events in human history, but he thought some of them might also be the last unless we learn to avoid the risks. For m 62 society, scientific technologies are amazing but humans may face a lot of challenges.
Will humans be controlled by scientific technologies in the future? Some people say “Yes”. They think humans will be under control completely. I 63 computers are implanted (植入) inside brains, things will be much worse. With the d 64 of technologies, robots have taken the place of humans in some fields and it may make some people l 65 their jobs. What’s more, data centres need a large amount of energy to run. At the same time, it produces so much h 66 all the time that a great deal of water is used for cooling. All these may be the risks the scientist referred to.
However, other people don’t a 67 . They are hopeful about the relationship between scientific technologies and humans. They say that scientific technologies have done much for us and made our daily lives much easier. They can free people from doing housework, writing articles or e 68 making films. For example, some technologies can change words into short videos easily and make it p 69 for some common people to be directors.
Every coin has two sides. Rather than worrying about the risks of scientific technologies, we should learn to use them in a w 70 way and manage them well.

(时间:90分钟,满分:100分)
一、单项选择。(本大题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
1.The model plane is made ________ used wood and glass. It looks really cool!
A.of B.from C.in D.by
【答案】A
【详解】句意:这个飞机模型是由旧木头和玻璃制成的。它看起来真的很酷!
(be made)of由……制成(看得见原材料);(be made)from由……制成(看不见原材料);in在……里面;by被。根据“used wood and glass”可知,成品中仍能看出原材料木头和玻璃,属于物理变化,应用be made of。
2.________ of us wants to go out in such bad weather.
A.Both B.All C.None D.Either
【答案】C
【详解】句意:在如此糟糕的天气里,我们中没有人想出去。
Both两者都;All全都;None全都不;Either两者中任意一个。根据谓语动词“wants”是第三人称单数形式,可排除后接复数动词的A和B选项;再结合“such bad weather”可知天气恶劣,推测没人愿意出去,表示否定意义且符合单数谓语的是none。
3.More books ________ because paper and printing appeared hundreds of years ago.
A.produce B.produced C.were produced D.are produced
【答案】C
【详解】句意:因为几百年前纸张和印刷术出现了,更多的书被生产出来。
produce生产,动词原形;produced生产,过去式;were produced为一般过去时被动语态;are produced为一般现在时被动语态。主语More books与谓语produce之间是被动关系,需用被动语态,排除A、B;根据时间状语hundreds of years ago可知时态为一般过去时,排除D。故选C。
4.________ hard and you will get more creative inspiration.
A.Think B.Thinking C.To think D.Thought
【答案】A
【详解】句意:努力思考,你就会获得更多创造性的灵感。
本句属于“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构,意为“做某事,那么就会……”。祈使句应以动词原形开头,表示建议或条件,因此空格处需填动词原形Think。
5.The public test flight by Feng Ru in 1911 ________ that Chinese people could achieve great things.
A.show B.showed C.was shown D.has shown
【答案】B
【详解】句意:冯如在1911年的公开试飞表明中国人能够成就伟大的事业。
根据时间状语“in 1911”可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。主语“冯如在1911年的公开试飞”是主动发出“表明”这个动作,不需要用被动语态,show的过去式是showed。
6.—________ the ring made of silver?
—Yes, and it ________ in Thailand.
A.Is; was made B.Was; is made C.Is; is made D.Was; was made
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——这戒指是银制的吗?——是的,而且它是泰国制造的。
be made of表示“由……制成”,描述物品本身材质属性,是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语the ring为单数,be动词用Is;“be made in + 地点”表示“在某地制造”。戒指是过去生产制造出来的,动作发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语it为单数,故用was made。A选项正确。
7.He is good at ________ up with creative solutions to problems.
A.come B.coming C.to come D.came
【答案】B
【详解】句意:他擅长想出创造性的问题解决方案。
根据空前的“be good at”可知,at是介词,在英语语法中,介词后面需要接动名词(v-ing)作宾语。同时,此处考查固定短语come up with,意为“想出,提出”,因此空格处需填入动名词形式,应填coming。
8.The process of papermaking ________ to China‘s neighboring countries in later centuries.
A.spreads B.is spread C.was spread D.has spread
【答案】C
【详解】句意:造纸术在后来的几个世纪里被传播到了中国的邻国。
根据时间状语“in later centuries”可知动作发生在过去,句子应用一般过去时;主语“The process of papermaking”与动词“spread”之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,一般过去时的被动语态的结构为“was/were+过去分词”,本句主语是单数概念,因此用was spread。
9.—Do you know who ________ the first computer?
—Sorry, I don’t know. But it has changed the world a lot.
A.discovered B.found C.invented D.created
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你知道谁发明了第一台电脑吗?——抱歉,我不知道。但它极大地改变了世界。
discovered发现(指发现原本存在但未知的事物);found找到(指找到丢失或隐藏的东西);invented发明(指创造出原本不存在的新事物);created创造(指创造出新的事物,但侧重“创作、制造”而非“从无到有的技术发明”)。根据“the first computer”可知,电脑是原本不存在的新事物,应用“发明”,即invented。
10.Papermaking technique ________ to Europe through Arab countries.
A.spread B.was spread C.spreads D.is spread
【答案】B
【详解】句意:造纸术经由阿拉伯国家被传播到欧洲。
spread传播,过去式/过去分词;was spread被传播,一般过去时被动;spreads 传播,三单;is spread被传播,一般现在时被动。主语“Papermaking technique”与动词“spread”之间是被动关系,且造纸术西传是过去发生的历史事实,需用一般过去时的被动语态。
11.The small camera ________ to the front of the sunglasses to help with reading.
A.connects B.is connected C.connected D.was connecting
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这个小相机被连接到太阳镜的前部以帮助阅读。
主语The small camera与动词connect之间是被动关系,表示“被连接”,且描述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是单数,助动词用is,connect的过去分词是connected。
12.Creative ideas ________ to deal with hard building problems.
A.need B.are needed C.needed D.were needing
【答案】B
【详解】句意:创造性的想法被需要来解决困难的建筑问题。

13.I have two ways to improve my creativity, but ________ is perfect enough.
A.both B.either C.neither D.none
【答案】C
【详解】句意:我有两个提高我创造力的方法,但两个都不够完美。
both两者都(作主语时,谓语动词用复数);either两者之中的任意一个(作主语时,谓语动词用单数);neither两者都不(表示两者的完全否定,作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式);none三者或三者以上都不(表示三者及以上的完全否定)。根据“I have two ways”可知,此处限制的数量为“两者”之间。结合后半句的转折连词“but”以及单数系动词“is”可知,此处需要表达“两个都不足够完美”的完全否定意思。表示两者的完全否定且后接单数动词应使用neither,应填neither。
14.The art and science fair ________ just outside the science museum. Many students ________ to visit it for free.
A.holds; invite B.is held; are invited C.was held; invite D.is holding; are invited
【答案】B
【详解】句意:艺术和科学博览会就在科学博物馆外面举行。许多学生被邀请免费参观。
第一空,主语“The art and science fair”是物,与动词“hold”之间是被动关系,且陈述客观事实用一般现在时,故填is held;第二空,主语“Many students”与动词“invite”之间也是被动关系,表示学生被邀请,故填are invited。
15.Factories ________ create more green products to protect the earth.
A.are looking to B.keep in mind C.run out of D.mix up
【答案】A
【详解】句意:工厂力求生产更多绿色产品来保护地球。
are looking to力求;keep in mind牢记;run out of用完;mix up混淆。根据“create more green products to protect the earth”可知,此处表示工厂“力求”生产环保产品。应选are looking to。

17.句意:使用后,在其他人的帮助下,他能够迈出几小步。
another另一个;the other两者中的另一个;other其他的;others’其他人的。根据“After using it”可知,瘫痪患者迈出步伐通常需要借助他人的帮助,with one’s help“在某人的帮助下”,此处应用名词所有格形式。
18.句意:现在她又能够和家人“交谈”了。
can能够;must必须;should应该;need需要。根据上文“Beinao-1 turns her thoughts into text on a screen”可知,北脑一号帮她将想法变为文字,因此她现在能够说话了。
19.句意:借助它,他们成功地帮助了几位残疾人重新开始活动和说话,给了他们新生。
secretly秘密地;politely礼貌地;successfully成功地;slowly缓慢地。根据后文“giving them a new chance at life”可知,这项技术是成功地帮助了残疾人。

四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
When we think of inventors, we usually imagine old men in white coats surrounded by wires and tools. However, 17-year-old Emma Rodriguez from Miami is changing that image. She recently invented a low-cost water purification (净化) device that is now being used in several remote villages in South America.
Emma’s journey started two years ago during a geography lesson. Her teacher showed a video of children drinking dirty water, which led to serious health problems. Emma was shocked. “I thought, ‘This isn’t fair,’” she recalled. “I wanted to do something to help.”
She began researching water purification methods online. Most existing devices were too expensive or required electricity, which many villages lacked. Emma decided to focus on a solar-powered solution. Using a second-hand microscope she bought with her pocket money, she studied how UV (紫外线) light kills bacteria. She then spent months designing a small, portable device shaped like a water bottle.
The biggest challenge was the cost. To keep it affordable, Emma used recycled plastic and a cheap UV LED light. She tested over fifty designs. Once, her device leaked (漏水) during a test, soaking her notes. “I felt like crying,” she admitted, “but I knew giving up wasn’t an option.”
Finally, she succeeded. Her device can clean one liter of water in just 15 minutes using only sunlight. It costs less than $5 to make. An international charity organization noticed her work and helped her send 500 units to Colombia. Local residents say the device has greatly improved their health.
Emma has no plans to patent her invention for profit. Instead, she has open-sourced her design online, allowing anyone to download and produce it for free. “Ideas should be shared, especially when they can save lives,” she says. “I hope more teens realize that age is just a number. If you see a problem, you can be the one to solve it.”
31.What inspired Emma to invent the water purification device?
A.A lesson about health problems.
B.A video shown in a geography class.
C.A visit to remote villages in Colombia.
D.An article about solar energy technology.
32.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How Emma solved the funding problem.
B.Why Emma chose UV light for her device.
C.The process of Emma’s invention and design.
D.The importance of using recycled materials.
33.What does the underlined phrase “giving up wasn’t an option” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.She didn’t have time to rest. B.She didn’t have the right tools.
C.She was determined to continue. D.She was allowed to stop working.
34.Which of the following words can best describe Emma?
A.Humorous and quiet. B.Honest and friendly.
C.Creative and selfless. D.Brave and noisy.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Emma will start a company to sell her device.
B.Emma wants to keep her invention a secret.
C.Emma believes teenagers can make a difference.
D.Emma plans to study abroad to learn more about water.
【答案】31.B 32.C 33.C 34.C 35.C

Aarrav has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) (帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. _________
More than 7 million people in India have PD.The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.
Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors (传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well.
“It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview.
Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.
The smart spoon has been tested at a local college. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.

四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
When we think of inventors, we usually imagine old men in white coats surrounded by wires and tools. However, 17-year-old Emma Rodriguez from Miami is changing that image. She recently invented a low-cost water purification (净化) device that is now being used in several remote villages in South America.
Emma’s journey started two years ago during a geography lesson. Her teacher showed a video of children drinking dirty water, which led to serious health problems. Emma was shocked. “I thought, ‘This isn’t fair,’” she recalled. “I wanted to do something to help.”
She began researching water purification methods online. Most existing devices were too expensive or required electricity, which many villages lacked. Emma decided to focus on a solar-powered solution. Using a second-hand microscope she bought with her pocket money, she studied how UV (紫外线) light kills bacteria. She then spent months designing a small, portable device shaped like a water bottle.
The biggest challenge was the cost. To keep it affordable, Emma used recycled plastic and a cheap UV LED light. She tested over fifty designs. Once, her device leaked (漏水) during a test, soaking her notes. “I felt like crying,” she admitted, “but I knew giving up wasn’t an option.”
Finally, she succeeded. Her device can clean one liter of water in just 15 minutes using only sunlight. It costs less than $5 to make. An international charity organization noticed her work and helped her send 500 units to Colombia. Local residents say the device has greatly improved their health.
Emma has no plans to patent her invention for profit. Instead, she has open-sourced her design online, allowing anyone to download and produce it for free. “Ideas should be shared, especially when they can save lives,” she says. “I hope more teens realize that age is just a number. If you see a problem, you can be the one to solve it.”

Aarrav has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) (帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. _________
More than 7 million people in India have PD.The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.
Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors (传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well.
“It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview.
Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof (防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.
The smart spoon has been tested at a local college. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will be used in hospitals soon.

The world is changing very fast. Scientific technologies are now influencing a 61 every field of life. A scientist once said that success in developing scientific technologies would be one of the biggest events in human history, but he thought some of them might also be the last unless we learn to avoid the risks. For m 62 society, scientific technologies are amazing but humans may face a lot of challenges.
Will humans be controlled by scientific technologies in the future? Some people say “Yes”. They think humans will be under control completely. I 63 computers are implanted (植入) inside brains, things will be much worse. With the d 64 of technologies, robots have taken the place of humans in some fields and it may make some people l 65 their jobs. What’s more, data centres need a large amount of energy to run. At the same time, it produces so much h 66 all the time that a great deal of water is used for cooling. All these may be the risks the scientist referred to.
However, other people don’t a 67 . They are hopeful about the relationship between scientific technologies and humans. They say that scientific technologies have done much for us and made our daily lives much easier. They can free people from doing housework, writing articles or e 68 making films. For example, some technologies can change words into short videos easily and make it p 69 for some common people to be directors.
Every coin has two sides. Rather than worrying about the risks of scientific technologies, we should learn to use them in a w 70 way and manage them well.
