All he wanted to do was ice skate. However, the freezing cold of winter in Farmington, the USA, made his ears hurt. He tried to cover them with gloved hands, but that made it difficult to skate. After that, he tried to wear a scarf around his head, but the wool was rough and uncomfortable. Searching for a way to solve it, Chester shaped two pieces of thin metal (金属) into circles to cover his ears. He then connected (连接) them with a longer piece to make a headband (头带). His grandmother sewed (缝) soft cloth to the inside and fur to the outside of the circles. This design kept out the winter air. Chester was happy with what he had made. The earmuffs (耳罩) with lightweight, hands-free, soft ear protectors became a hit. They were so popular that many kids asked him to make more. Three years later in 1877, Chester protected his invention of the earmuffs by getting a patent (专利). This was a special government license that prevented anybody from copying Chester’s idea. At the time it was granted, he was only 18. By 1883, his Farmington factory produced 30,000 earmuffs a year, climbing to 400,000 by his death in 1937. Although Chester became famous for his earmuffs, they were not the only thing he invented. He came up with many good ideas for new products during his lifetime. One was for the design of a metal rake that is still used today to collect fallen leaves every autumn. Chester was an inventor for ordinary people. He would look at everyday jobs that needed effort and then try to find a way to do them more easily. 1．What is Chester’s most famous invention? A．Gloves. B．Scarves. C．Headbands. D．Earmuffs. 2．Why did Chester come up with the idea for his first invention? A．Because he had to keep away from noisy situations. B．Because he wished to protect his ears from the freezing cold of winter. C．Because he wanted to help his grandma with her housework. D．Because he disliked wearing a rough and uncomfortable scarf. 3．Paragraph 2 is written to ________. A．introduce a new product B．explain to readers what materials were used C．show how the invention was made D．ask readers to give some more advice 4．In which book can we read this passage? A．50 greatest people in art history B．Chester Greenwood and his adventure C．Interesting stories of 100 inventors D．The story of Chester and his family 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Chester Greenwood因冬天滑冰耳朵受冻而发明耳罩的故事，介绍了发明过程、专利获取及他作为发明家的其他成就。 1．根据第四段“Although Chester became famous for his earmuffs…”可知，耳罩是他最著名的发明。 2．根据第一段“However, the freezing cold of winter in Farmington, the USA, made his ears hurt.”可知，他发明耳罩是为了保护耳朵免受冬季严寒的伤害。 3．根据第二段“Chester shaped two pieces of thin metal… He then connected them… His grandmother sewed…”可知，本段主要描述了金属弯曲、连接及缝制布料等步骤，展示了发明是如何制成的。 4．根据第四段“Chester was an inventor for ordinary people.”及全文讲述其多项发明经历可知，文章出自关于发明家的故事书《100位发明家的有趣故事》。 Video calls are common now. But have you ever imagined touching the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this possible. To create this faraway touch, researchers have invented a device called SSD．It can feel touch on the skin. Scientists put the SSD into a thin glove. Inside the glove, there are soft artificial “muscles”. They really feel like humans’ real ones. These “muscles” move an actuator (触器), and the actuator pulls your skin lightly in three directions. One small pull can tell you lots of information, such as how strong, what direction, how powerful and even the shape of the touch. In this way, the glove sends clear 3D touch messages to your skin, without the help of pictures or sounds. How does it work? Suppose you make a video call with a friend. Both of you wear the special SSD gloves. When your friend picks up a thing, his glove gets soft pressure (压力) on his finger. It sends it to your glove. Your glove copies the same pressure, so you feel the thing just as your friend does. ________ However, in the near future, they will be useful in many fields. We can feel hugs from family far away. Doctors can use them to check faraway patients. Students may “feel” lab tools in online science classes. Soon, video calls will not only let us see each other. We can even feel handshakes through the screen! 1．What can the SSD do according to Paragraph 2? A．It can send pictures and sounds quickly. B．It can feel touch and send touch information. C．It can help people speak to friends for free. D．It can help with people’s skin problems. 2．What does the underlined word “artificial” probably mean? A．Man-made. B．Natural. C．Weak. D．True. 3．What does your glove do after it receives the pressure? A．It picks up the thing. B．It copies the same pressure. C．It makes a video call. D．It sends pictures. 4．Which sentence can be put in ________ in paragraph 4? A．The gloves are ready in the market for us now. B．People can use it in many areas at the moment. C．The gloves are still in the lab now. D．The gloves can work without any signals. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The history and development of video calls. B．The introduction to a special touch glove with SSD． C．Different kinds of high-tech gloves in the market.

The sport is beginner-friendly. However, it’s almost impossible for people with poor vision (视力) or complete blindness to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system (系统) to help the blind play table tennis using sound. In one study, she installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers (扬声器) along the sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program turned the information into sound and then the sound came out of the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know where the ball was and then they could return the ball fast and properly. “The small size of the ball and the movement of the ball in 3D space make table tennis difficult to play for those with poor vision or complete blindness,” said Peng. “The cameras I used were special. They were good at tracking small objects like table tennis balls.” Although the study worked well, Peng said more experiments (试验) would be needed before the system could be ready for actual play. “Different people perceive (感知) sound differently. What kind of sound should we use in the system? Should we play the sound without stopping? These are the problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 1．What can we know about Phoebe Peng? A．She is a student from Australia. B．She is blind but likes playing ping-pong. C．She wants to help blind people at school. D．She has taken part in many table tennis competitions. 2．How did the blind players know where the table tennis ball was in the study? A．By imagining the movement of the ball. B．By listening to the sound from the loudspeakers. C．By communicating with other players who can see. D．By following the orders from the computer. 3．Which of the following would Phoebe Peng probably agree with? A．The best sport for blind people is table tennis. B．It is not necessary for blind people to do sports. C．People should invent more new sports for blind people. D．People can't use the system in practice for now. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．A system that can help the blind see things. B．A ping-pong player with excellent skills. C．A sport that is very popular all over the world. D．A system that is to help the blind play ping-pong. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍澳大利亚工科学生Phoebe Peng发明了一套借助声音帮助盲人打乒乓球的系统。 1．原文第二段“Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia”，说明她是一名来自澳大利亚的学生。 2．原文第二段“a computer program turned the information into sound and then the sound came out of the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know where the ball was”，盲人选手通过听扬声器发出的声音判断球的位置。 3．原文第四段“Although the study worked well, Peng said more experiments would be needed before the system could be ready for actual play.”，说明这套系统目前还不能投入实际使用。 4．全文围绕Phoebe Peng发明的一套帮助盲人打乒乓球的系统展开。 The brush pen (毛笔) was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick (棍子) . It was difficult for people to write well. It is said that Meng Tian made the pen better. When Meng was leading an army to fight outside, he found that his pen was too hard and brought him much trouble, so he was thinking how to make it better. One day, Meng went home with some wild rabbits after hunting. The rabbit’s tail was fat and heavy, and it left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when it moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind. On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. But the rabbit’s hair was too soft to write well. Meng was so sad that he threw away the stick into a hole. However, Meng never gave up. A few rainy days later, the stick became fatter in the hole. He picked it up. And he found that the special water had cleaned the oil (油) from the hair. The brush pen could write well and he was very happy. Thanks to Meng, today students are taught to use the brush pens in schools.

Suddenly a good idea came to his mind.”，说明蒙恬是看到兔子尾巴留下的痕迹时想到了好主意。 3．根据第四段“On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick.”和“Meng was so sad that he threw away the stick into a hole.”以及第五段“he found that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. The brush pen could write well”可推知事件发生的正确顺序是绑毛发、扔进洞、水洗去油、写好字，即 b-d-c-a，对应选项 B 的内容。 4．根据第四段“However, Meng never gave up.”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了蒙恬面对失败不放弃，坚持尝试最终改进毛笔的故事，因此我们能学到要坚持尝试自己的想法，对应选项 B 的内容。 四、选词填空 请从方框内选择适当的词，并根据需要用其正确形式填空，使文章语法正确、完整连贯。注意：每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余项。 but win they quickly fix use plan creative through first teacher promise Think about your school morning.

All he wanted to do was ice skate. However, the freezing cold of winter in Farmington, the USA, made his ears hurt. He tried to cover them with gloved hands, but that made it difficult to skate. After that, he tried to wear a scarf around his head, but the wool was rough and uncomfortable. Searching for a way to solve it, Chester shaped two pieces of thin metal (金属) into circles to cover his ears. He then connected (连接) them with a longer piece to make a headband (头带). His grandmother sewed (缝) soft cloth to the inside and fur to the outside of the circles. This design kept out the winter air. Chester was happy with what he had made. The earmuffs (耳罩) with lightweight, hands-free, soft ear protectors became a hit. They were so popular that many kids asked him to make more. Three years later in 1877, Chester protected his invention of the earmuffs by getting a patent (专利). This was a special government license that prevented anybody from copying Chester’s idea. At the time it was granted, he was only 18. By 1883, his Farmington factory produced 30,000 earmuffs a year, climbing to 400,000 by his death in 1937. Although Chester became famous for his earmuffs, they were not the only thing he invented. He came up with many good ideas for new products during his lifetime. One was for the design of a metal rake that is still used today to collect fallen leaves every autumn. Chester was an inventor for ordinary people. He would look at everyday jobs that needed effort and then try to find a way to do them more easily. 1．What is Chester’s most famous invention? A．Gloves. B．Scarves. C．Headbands. D．Earmuffs. 2．Why did Chester come up with the idea for his first invention? A．Because he had to keep away from noisy situations. B．Because he wished to protect his ears from the freezing cold of winter. C．Because he wanted to help his grandma with her housework. D．Because he disliked wearing a rough and uncomfortable scarf. 3．Paragraph 2 is written to ________. A．introduce a new product B．explain to readers what materials were used C．show how the invention was made D．ask readers to give some more advice 4．In which book can we read this passage? A．50 greatest people in art history B．Chester Greenwood and his adventure C．Interesting stories of 100 inventors D．The story of Chester and his family Video calls are common now. But have you ever imagined touching the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this possible. To create this faraway touch, researchers have invented a device called SSD．It can feel touch on the skin. Scientists put the SSD into a thin glove. Inside the glove, there are soft artificial “muscles”. They really feel like humans’ real ones. These “muscles” move an actuator (触器), and the actuator pulls your skin lightly in three directions. One small pull can tell you lots of information, such as how strong, what direction, how powerful and even the shape of the touch. In this way, the glove sends clear 3D touch messages to your skin, without the help of pictures or sounds. How does it work? Suppose you make a video call with a friend. Both of you wear the special SSD gloves. When your friend picks up a thing, his glove gets soft pressure (压力) on his finger. It sends it to your glove. Your glove copies the same pressure, so you feel the thing just as your friend does. ________ However, in the near future, they will be useful in many fields. We can feel hugs from family far away. Doctors can use them to check faraway patients. Students may “feel” lab tools in online science classes. Soon, video calls will not only let us see each other. We can even feel handshakes through the screen! 1．What can the SSD do according to Paragraph 2? A．It can send pictures and sounds quickly. B．It can feel touch and send touch information. C．It can help people speak to friends for free. D．It can help with people’s skin problems. 2．What does the underlined word “artificial” probably mean? A．Man-made. B．Natural. C．Weak. D．True. 3．What does your glove do after it receives the pressure? A．It picks up the thing. B．It copies the same pressure. C．It makes a video call. D．It sends pictures. 4．Which sentence can be put in ________ in paragraph 4? A．The gloves are ready in the market for us now. B．People can use it in many areas at the moment. C．The gloves are still in the lab now. D．The gloves can work without any signals. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The history and development of video calls. B．The introduction to a special touch glove with SSD． C．Different kinds of high-tech gloves in the market. D．Advice on how to communicate with friends. Table tennis has been played for many years and it’s popular around the world. The sport is beginner-friendly. However, it’s almost impossible for people with poor vision (视力) or complete blindness to experience the joy of this sport. Phoebe Peng, an engineering student in Australia, invented a new system (系统) to help the blind play table tennis using sound. In one study, she installed (安装) cameras and loudspeakers (扬声器) along the sides of a traditional ping-pong table. As the cameras tracked (追踪) the movement of the ball, a computer program turned the information into sound and then the sound came out of the loudspeakers. The blind players could use the sound to know where the ball was and then they could return the ball fast and properly. “The small size of the ball and the movement of the ball in 3D space make table tennis difficult to play for those with poor vision or complete blindness,” said Peng. “The cameras I used were special. They were good at tracking small objects like table tennis balls.” Although the study worked well, Peng said more experiments (试验) would be needed before the system could be ready for actual play. “Different people perceive (感知) sound differently. What kind of sound should we use in the system? Should we play the sound without stopping? These are the problems we are facing now, but I am sure we can solve them in the near future.” 1．What can we know about Phoebe Peng? A．She is a student from Australia. B．She is blind but likes playing ping-pong. C．She wants to help blind people at school. D．She has taken part in many table tennis competitions. 2．How did the blind players know where the table tennis ball was in the study? A．By imagining the movement of the ball. B．By listening to the sound from the loudspeakers. C．By communicating with other players who can see. D．By following the orders from the computer. 3．Which of the following would Phoebe Peng probably agree with? A．The best sport for blind people is table tennis. B．It is not necessary for blind people to do sports. C．People should invent more new sports for blind people. D．People can't use the system in practice for now. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．A system that can help the blind see things. B．A ping-pong player with excellent skills. C．A sport that is very popular all over the world. D．A system that is to help the blind play ping-pong. The brush pen (毛笔) was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick (棍子) . It was difficult for people to write well. It is said that Meng Tian made the pen better. When Meng was leading an army to fight outside, he found that his pen was too hard and brought him much trouble, so he was thinking how to make it better. One day, Meng went home with some wild rabbits after hunting. The rabbit’s tail was fat and heavy, and it left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when it moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind. On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick. But the rabbit’s hair was too soft to write well. Meng was so sad that he threw away the stick into a hole. However, Meng never gave up. A few rainy days later, the stick became fatter in the hole. He picked it up. And he found that the special water had cleaned the oil (油) from the hair. The brush pen could write well and he was very happy. Thanks to Meng, today students are taught to use the brush pens in schools. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 1．Why did Meng Tian want to make the pen better? A．Because the king asked him to do so. B．Because he wanted to be an inventor. C．Because he hunted some wild rabbits. D．Because the pen brought him much trouble. 2．When did Meng think of the good idea? A．When he saw the trail. B．Before hunting animals. C．During cleaning the hair. D．After raining for a few days. 3．Which is the right order of improving the brush pen in Paragraph 4 and 5? a.
