Unit 5 Power of Ideas 阅读表达题型专练（话题：人与社会——发明创新） 热点题型概览 题型夯基提升 巩固基础·专项突破 Passage 1 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） Where Do Creative Ideas Come from Creative ideas are not magic gifts. They come from hard-thinking, observation (观察) and practice. First, creative ideas come from observation. Look carefully at things around you. Many new ideas start from small daily facts. Second, ideas come from questioning. When you learn something, don’t just remember it. Raise questions and think of possible answers. Third, ideas come from listening to different voices. Other people’s thoughts can give you new inspiration. You do not have to agree, but you can learn something useful. Last, ideas need action. You cannot know if an idea works until you try it. You may fail, but each try brings you closer to success. 1．Where do creative ideas come from? __________________________________________ 2．Where do many new ideas start from? __________________________________________ 3．What should we do instead of only remembering knowledge? __________________________________________ 4．What can other people’s thoughts bring us? __________________________________________ 5．How can we know if one idea works? __________________________________________ Passage 2 Every big change in human history starts with a new idea. Many people think great inventions are only made by great scientists. But that is not true. Ordinary people can also have creative ideas. When people have a new idea, they need to try their best to make it real. Sometimes ideas may fail at first. But don’t give up. Many great inventions were improved again and again before they became popular. Ideas can change our lives. A small good idea may bring big changes to the world. We should keep thinking and creating in our daily life. 1．Where do big changes in human history start? __________________________________________ 2．Do only great scientists make great inventions? __________________________________________ 3．What should people do when they get a new idea? __________________________________________ 4．What may happen to ideas at first? __________________________________________ 5．What can a small good idea bring to the world? __________________________________________ Passage 3 What Makes an Idea Creative? We often admire creative people for their brilliant ideas. But have you ever wondered what makes an idea truly creative? Scientists have studied this question and found several key features. First, a creative idea must be new. It cannot be something that everyone already knows or does. However, being new alone is not enough. The idea also needs to be useful. A truly creative idea solves a problem or makes life better in some way. For example, imagining a flying elephant is new, but it is not useful, so it is not considered creative in the same way. Second, creative ideas often come from combining two or more existing things in a new way. This is called “combinatorial creativity.” For instance, the smartphone combined a telephone, a camera, a music player, and a computer into one device. None of these parts were new, but the combination was revolutionary. Third, creative ideas often require breaking rules. Many great inventors went against the common beliefs of their time. For a long time, people believed that humans could never fly. The Wright brothers challenged this belief and created the first airplane. They broke the “rule” that flight was impossible. Finally, creative ideas often appear when we are relaxed or doing something unrelated. Many famous scientists and artists have reported getting their best ideas while taking a walk, taking a shower, or even dreaming. This is because our brain continues to work on problems even when we are not actively thinking about them. Understanding these features can help us become more creative. Instead of waiting for a “flash of genius,” we can actively practice combining ideas, challenging rules, and giving ourselves time to think. 1．What are the two key features that a creative idea must have? __________________________________________ 2．What is “combinatorial creativity” according to the passage? __________________________________________ 3．What example does the passage give to show that creative ideas often break rules? __________________________________________ 4．According to the passage, when do many creative ideas appear? __________________________________________ 5．What should we do to become more creative based on the passage? __________________________________________ 培优拔高·挑战攻坚 Passage 1 阅读回答问题 Did you know that an accident led to the invention of sticky notes? In 1968, a scientist named Spencer Silver was trying to make a strong glue. To his surprise, he produced a glue that was really weak. It could stick things, but it could be removed very easily. The glue was interesting, but no one could find a use for it. Then, in 1974, a man named Arthur Fry was trying to mark the pages in a songbook using small pieces of paper. However, whenever he stood up to sing, the pieces fell to the floor. Then he remembered Silver’s glue. With the glue, the paper stayed in the songbook, but it could later be removed. Fry’s idea resulted in the production of sticky notes of many sizes and colors. They gradually became popular and now are widely used all over the world. 1．What was Spencer Silver trying to make in 1968? __________________________________________ 2．What was wrong with the glue Silver made? __________________________________________ 3．What was Arthur Fry trying to do? __________________________________________ 4．What happened whenever Arthur Fry stood up to sing at first? __________________________________________ 5．What is the end result of Fry and Silver’s invention? __________________________________________ Passage 2 Spring is coming, and it’s time to enjoy West Lake Longjing tea. Usually, we think workers will pick tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by special workers—tea-picking robots In a tea garden in Hangzhou, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University is working for the first time. “We take thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and input them into the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize (识别) the buds it should pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, member of the research team. This helps the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time. The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. Once the robot has collected all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects. The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400, 000 pickers are needed now. “Picking is the greatest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team. “About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added. 1．How are West Lake Longjing tea leaves usually picked? __________________________________________ 2．What are input into the robot for it to learn? __________________________________________ 3．How does the robot recognise the buds it should pick? __________________________________________ 4．What do you think of tea-picking robots? Why? __________________________________________ Passage 3 In the fairy tale “Cinderella”, the wicked stepmother wants to stop Cinderella from going to the ball. She gives Cinderella an impossible task: to sort a huge pile of mixed grains before midnight. Thanks to some helpful mice and birds, Cinderella finishes in time, and everyone lives happily ever after. But in real life, sorting tiny things quickly is no fairy tale — it is a serious problem. Every day, factories around the world need to sort millions of tiny objects, from rice grains to medicine pills. Doing it by hand is slow, boring, and often full of mistakes. This is where an amazing invention called “optical sorting” comes in. Optical sorters use cameras and clever computer programs to look at each object as it passes by at high speed. If something is the wrong colour, shape, or size, a puff of air blows it off the line in just a fraction of a second. The technology was first developed in the 1970s to sort potatoes. Today, optical sorters are used in food factories, recycling plants, and even in mining. They can sort thousands of objects every minute — far faster and more accurately than any human. One of the newest uses is in recycling. This means more plastic can be reused instead of being thrown away. Some advanced sorters can even identify different types of plastic that look almost identical to the human eye. So the next time you throw a plastic bottle into a recycling bin, remember: a wise old fairy tale might say “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”, but in the real world, it is cameras, computers, and puffs of air that do the real magic. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What impossible task does the stepmother give Cinderella? __________________________________________ 2．Why is sorting tiny objects by hand a problem? __________________________________________ 3．How do optical sorters identify objects? __________________________________________ 4．What do sorters use to blow away the wrong objects? __________________________________________ 5．What can we learn from the passage? __________________________________________ Passage 4 Imagine a student who loves painting but lost the use of his right hand after an illness. He watched others draw freely and felt left out. How could he paint again? Now a new tool called the “eye brush” has come out. It lets people draw pictures by moving only their eyes. The brush was developed by Lin Fang, a software engineer, after she visited a rehab center. She saw a young man staring at a canvas, unable to hold a pencil. He used a wheelchair and could only move his head a little. Lin Fang remembered how her little brother used to blink to choose TV channels. Suddenly she realized: eyes can choose colors, too. She started to work with a hospital. Eight months later, the eye brush was ready. It has a small camera that follows the pupil. The user looks at a color on the screen, blinks once to pick it, looks at the canvas, and blinks to put the dot. A full line is made by looking and blinking at the start and the end. The hospital first tested it on 12 patients. Over 9 million people in China have hand disabilities. When the tool works well, it will bring art back to many of them. A user named Zhao Lei says, “As a man who thought painting was gone for me, I am shocked by this. My eyes now dance on the screen. That never happened before.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What made Lin Fang decide to develop the eye brush? __________________________________________ 2．What tools must a person with a hand disability have if he wants to paint with the eye brush? __________________________________________ 3．How does the eye brush pick a color? __________________________________________ 4．What does Zhao Lei think of the eye brush? __________________________________________ 5．If you could invent a technology to help people with disabilities, what would it be and why? __________________________________________ Passage 5 Many people think great ideas only come from famous persons. But in fact, every common person can have powerful creative ideas. Wang Yu is a young designer. She shows great interest in our traditional culture. Years ago, she found that many old handicrafts (手工艺品) were hardly seen in daily life. She wanted to change this situation. She used her imagination and connected traditional handicraft skills with modern life. She mixed different materials to make new‑style products. These products are suitable for young people. Gradually, her works won lots of fans. Her stories spread quickly online. Her creative ideas have a great effect on local culture. More young people begin to learn these old skills. Wang Yu says ideas themselves are not enough. If you want to succeed, you need lots of practice and courage. “The power of ideas lies in action,” she always tells teenagers. 1．What do many people think about great ideas? __________________________________________ 2．Why did Wang Yu want to make a change? __________________________________________ 3．What did Wang Yu do with traditional handicraft skills? __________________________________________ 4．According to Wang Yu, what do you need if you want to succeed? __________________________________________ 5．What creative idea would you have to spread our traditional culture? Why? __________________________________________ Passage 6 Nowadays our life is getting more convenient because of more and more smart inventions. So in the near future, which new inventions will probably appear? Solar (太阳能的) paint. As renewable (可再生的) energy, solar power will be widely used, but the challenge is how to reduce the cost. The invention of solar paint will solve the problem. This kind of special paint is used for taking in sunshine and turning it into useful energy. A smart coat. People usually choose different clothes to wear in different seasons. Now scientists are trying to develop a kind of coat for all seasons. A smart system hidden in the coat can change the temperature inside according to the weather condition outside, making you feel warm in cold winter and cool in hot summer. Intelligent home appliances (电器). Although many of our home appliances are smart, they can’t be really connected to each other. So imagine one morning the window will be opened by itself after you get up, and that on your way home, the air conditioner (空调) has been turned on to make your house cool or warm. 3D food printing machine. If you hate cooking, buy one 3D food printing machine. The future invention can be used to produce all the food you are imagining. What’s more, this kind of food will be as delicious and healthy as that human cooks make. It will be a pretty useful invention. 1．Why is our life getting more convenient? __________________________________________ 2．How many kinds of new inventions are mentioned in the passage? __________________________________________ 3．Which kind of invention will help us to own a more comfortable home? __________________________________________ 4．What can make you feel warm in cold winter and cool in hot summer? __________________________________________ 5．How will the food produced by the 3D food printing machine be? __________________________________________ Passage 7 How the Internet Was Born The Internet is one of the most important inventions in human history. But how did it begin? In the 1960s, the U.S. government wanted a communication system that could survive a nuclear war. They asked scientists to create a network that would still work even if some parts were destroyed. In 1969, ARPANET, the first version of the Internet, was created. It connected four universities. In the 1980s, the Internet became more widely used. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989. This made it much easier to share information. He also created the first web browser. Berners-Lee chose not to patent his invention, so anyone could use it for free. Today, the Internet connects billions of people around the world. It has changed how we work, learn, shop, and socialize. It has also created new jobs and industries that never existed before. However, it also brings challenges, such as privacy concerns and the spread of false information. 1．Why did the U.S. government want to create a new communication system in the 1960s? __________________________________________ 2．When was ARPANET created and how many universities did it connect? __________________________________________ 3．What did Tim Berners-Lee invent in 1989? __________________________________________ 4．Why could anyone use Berners-Lee’s invention for free? __________________________________________ 5．What are two challenges that the Internet has brought? __________________________________________ 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Power of Ideas 阅读表达题型专练（话题：人与社会——发明创新） 参考答案 题型夯基提升 巩固基础·专项突破 Passage 1 1.

Passage 4 Imagine a student who loves painting but lost the use of his right hand after an illness. He watched others draw freely and felt left out. How could he paint again? Now a new tool called the “eye brush” has come out. It lets people draw pictures by moving only their eyes. The brush was developed by Lin Fang, a software engineer, after she visited a rehab center. She saw a young man staring at a canvas, unable to hold a pencil. He used a wheelchair and could only move his head a little. Lin Fang remembered how her little brother used to blink to choose TV channels. Suddenly she realized: eyes can choose colors, too. She started to work with a hospital. Eight months later, the eye brush was ready. It has a small camera that follows the pupil. The user looks at a color on the screen, blinks once to pick it, looks at the canvas, and blinks to put the dot. A full line is made by looking and blinking at the start and the end. The hospital first tested it on 12 patients. Over 9 million people in China have hand disabilities. When the tool works well, it will bring art back to many of them. A user named Zhao Lei says, “As a man who thought painting was gone for me, I am shocked by this. My eyes now dance on the screen. That never happened before.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What made Lin Fang decide to develop the eye brush? __________________________________________ 2．What tools must a person with a hand disability have if he wants to paint with the eye brush? __________________________________________ 3．How does the eye brush pick a color? __________________________________________ 4．What does Zhao Lei think of the eye brush? __________________________________________ 5．If you could invent a technology to help people with disabilities, what would it be and why? __________________________________________ 【答案】1．She saw a young man in a rehab center who could not hold a pencil and could only move his head a little. 2．The eye brush (with a small camera), a screen, and a canvas. 3．The user looks at a color on the screen and blinks once to pick it. 4．He is shocked and amazed; he thinks it brings painting back to him. 5．开放题（示例）：I would invent a voice-controlled wheelchair that climbs stairs, because it would help disabled people go out more easily. 【导语】本文主要讲述了一款叫“eye‑brush”的新型工具，它可以让手部残障人士仅靠眼睛完成绘画，帮助残障群体重拾艺术。 【详解】 1．第二段提到“after she visited a rehab center.

But how did it begin? In the 1960s, the U.S. government wanted a communication system that could survive a nuclear war. They asked scientists to create a network that would still work even if some parts were destroyed. In 1969, ARPANET, the first version of the Internet, was created. It connected four universities. In the 1980s, the Internet became more widely used. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989. This made it much easier to share information. He also created the first web browser. Berners-Lee chose not to patent his invention, so anyone could use it for free. Today, the Internet connects billions of people around the world. It has changed how we work, learn, shop, and socialize. It has also created new jobs and industries that never existed before. However, it also brings challenges, such as privacy concerns and the spread of false information. 1．Why did the U.S. government want to create a new communication system in the 1960s? __________________________________________ 2．When was ARPANET created and how many universities did it connect? __________________________________________ 3．What did Tim Berners-Lee invent in 1989? __________________________________________ 4．Why could anyone use Berners-Lee’s invention for free? __________________________________________ 5．What are two challenges that the Internet has brought? __________________________________________ 【答案】1．Because they wanted a communication system that could survive a nuclear war. 2．It was created in 1969, and it connected four universities. 3．He invented the World Wide Web. 4．Because he chose not to patent his invention. 5．Two challenges are privacy concerns and the spread of false information. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了互联网的诞生与发展历程，以及它带来的影响和问题。 【详解】 1．第二段明确指出“In the 1960s, the U.S. government wanted a communication system that could survive a nuclear war”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第二段提到两个事实：一是“In 1969, ARPANET, the first version of the Internet, was created” (诞生于1969年)，二是“It connected four universities” (连接了4所大学)，答案将这两点整合为“It was created in 1969 and it connected four universities”。 3．第三段明确指出“Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 4．第三段指出“Berners-Lee chose not to patent his invention, so anyone could use it for free”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 5．最后一段指出“However, it also brings challenges, such as privacy concerns and the spread of false information”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
