The Wright Brothers and The First Plane
In 12 seconds in the year 1903, two young Americans changed the world forever. That was the length of the first successful flight of Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright’s plane.
Wilbur was born in 1867 and Orville in 1871. The Wright brothers developed a strong interest in flight from early childhood. They taught themselves maths and engineering. They started their flying experiments with big kites and gliders (滑翔机) and finally decided to make their own plane. The two brothers worked very hard to make a small engine and a propeller (螺旋桨) for their plane.
Their first plane weighed 340 kilograms. Its wings were 12 metres wide. On 17 December, 1903, Orville sat in the plane and made the first successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. His flight lasted for only 12 seconds and only covered 37 metres, but this was the first time when human beings successfully sent something heavier than the air into the sky with powered flight. Wilbur also flew the plane on the same day. In the last flight of the day, Wilbur flew for 59 seconds and covered a distance of 260 metres.
The Wright brothers improved their plane, and by 1909, it could fly for 32 kilometres. The Wright brothers are surely among the most important inventors of the 20th century.

The first AI-driven (人工智能驾驶的) bus went on a road test in Shenzhen, and the self-driving (自动驾驶的) car is no longer a far dream.
Most people are excited about AI-driven cars. AI could be a “better driver” than humans as its reaction (反应) time is much shorter than humans’. Also, AI never gets tired and there is no fear of it driving under the influence (影响). What’s more, when two humans drive too close on a road and one has to slow down to avoid an accident (避免事故), both would expect the other to do so, and the problem could be serious because they cannot talk to each other. However, that problem will not happen to two AI-driven cars because they could “talk” through the cloud and decide which one should slow down.
But some people are worried. The test in Shenzhen was done on a special road. There are more uncertain things on real roads. And one problem for AI is not about learning to remember road signs, but about learning to take actions in sudden and unexpected situations (情况). Also, it has been reported that some people took control of others’ computers in self-driving cars. This could be very dangerous.
All in all, AI-driven cars will keep improving and all the possible problems will be solved (解决) before they are widely used. We will meet them soon in the future.
6．Did the first AI-driven bus go on a road test in Shanghai
7．Why could AI be a “better driver” than humans according to the passage
8．What are problems for AI-driven cars
9．Do you think using AI-driven cars is a good choice Give two reasons. (No more than 30 words)
In 223 BC, Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. He was frustrated (沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.
Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail (痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit’s tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was oily (多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his “rabbit hair brush pen” away into a hole in the rocks.
However, Meng Tian couldn’t accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. By chance, he found again the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.
10．What did people write with in 223 BC
11．What was Meng Tian’s hobby between battles
12．How did Meng Tian feel when he failed to write with the rabbit’s hair
13．Did Meng Tian succeed in making the brush pen at last
14．新考向开放性试题：What do you think of Meng Tian Why do you think so

Great inventions are changing and improving our lives in many ways. A 3D printer, one of the great inventions, is like a magical machine. It can make objects into real things from computer designs. What is more amazing, two young scientists made a special 3D food printer in Qatar. It can use bits of vegetables to create food!
These smart students, Annan and Mansoori, are students at Carnegie Mellon University in Doha. To make the 3D carrot, they first used very small parts of a real carrot and made lots of them in a science lab. Then they used these tiny parts like ink (墨水) in their printer to make the carrot. By using vegetable cells (细胞) and ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) , a new carrot is printed. UV light is a kind of energy that helps stick the carrot bits together. The invention may help with food safety.
They chose carrots in the test because scientists knew a lot about how carrot parts grew into plants. Mansoori said 3D-printed food can be made cheaply. It doesn’t require large areas of land. It also does not require maintenance (维护) costs. 3D-printed carrots are cheaper than real carrots.
Today, 733 million people are facing hunger. Mansoori hopes 3D printers will be used in restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals. The purpose, she said, is to make food reachable to people all over the world.
18．What can the special 3D food printer do
19．Where do Annan and Mansoori study
20．How is a new carrot printed
21．Why did they choose carrots in the test
22．What is the purpose of the invention of 3D food printers

Scientists create small “robots” that you can eat
科学家造出可食用电子产品
What would you like for lunch Maybe, a battery (电池) Although it sounds unusual, this has already been realized by scientists as they develop electronic things you can eat.
Robofood, led by Dario Floreano from a Swiss Institute, has created a new drone (无人机) with scientists from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Half of the parts inside can be eaten! The program aims to (旨在) make robots that can be eaten and foods that act like robots by mixing food science and robots in a new way.
The drone’s wings are made from rice cakes glued together with oil and chocolate. It can find missing people or animals in emergencies (紧急情况) and send food or medicine. Parts of the drone can be eaten because they meet food safety standards for emergencies set by the United Nations.
However, the main challenge is finding stronger edible (可食用的) materials for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures—of course, the chocolate may melt (融化) easily.
Robofood also developed an edible sensor (感应器) to help monitor (监控) stomach sickness. It’s eaten by the patient to check the conditions inside. It’s different from other sensors because it’s easy for your body to digest (消化), so it won’t leave any remains inside the body.
The invention of Robofood also helps with environmental protection. There are batteries that you can fully eat. They are made from natural things like vitamin B2 and elements (元素) found in fruits. This helps the environment because you won’t have to throw them away like other batteries.Choose the answer
23．What is Robofood’s main goal
A．To develop smart drones. B．To create edible electronics.
C．To help check stomach disease. D．To put sensors on drones.
24．What problem does Robofood’s drone have
A．The drone can easily break during flying. B．The drone cannot take off in bad weather.
C．The materials are not strong enough. D．The materials cannot easily melt.
25．Compared to other sensors for checking the stomach, Robofood’s sensors ________.
A．can be safer for health B．can check more carefully
C．can stay in the human body longer D．can be taken as medicine
26．Why is Robofood’s battery good for nature
A．It uses less power. B．It cuts down pollution.
C．It uses solar power. D．It is made from food waste.
27．Use your own words to introduce Robofood inventions:

Many of us know about 3D films, TVs and so on. They are interesting and young people like to watch them very much. But are there any 3D newspapers in the world The answer is “Yes”. La Derniere Heure, a Belgian (比利时) newspaper, once made 3D newspaper for its readers.
It took the team two months to make its first 3D newspaper. The team printed (印刷) 115,000 special copies. It was a big number. Many readers tried to buy this new kind of newspaper.
Each of these newspapers comes with a pair of free 3D glasses. All the photos and pictures in the newspaper are in 3D．But the words do not change. Readers can read the newspaper best when they put the paper 50 cm away from their eyes. In fact, if people don’t wear the 3D glasses, it’ll be hard for them to read the newspaper because the pictures are not clear (清楚的).
Most of the people bought the newspaper just for fun. The team didn’t go on with the work because it cost too much to make such newspapers.

Bitwalking is an invention made by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people for walking, which is based on (在……的基础上) their daily walking steps.
With this app, walkers can earn one “Bitwalking dollar” for about 1, 000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent in special online stores or exchanged for cash.
One goal behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people’s lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.
The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade (交易) them for cash. Bitwalking is really helpful in changing lives!
33．How many Bitwalking dollars can one person get at most every day
34．What is the purpose of Bitwalking
35．Do you think we middle school students should use this app Why or why not

What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages, as shown by these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The future of 3D printing looks bright. But the disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. After an illness or an accident, it might also help people walk again. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes, or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. In my view, life in the future will be different from what it is now.
36．The writer tells us that each technology has advantages and disadvantages by three examples in the passage.
37．Flying cars can and busy roads.
38．3D printing is another new technology for the future, but it is very .
39．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to .
40．How do you like technology Why

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 leaves are 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 make the robot learn them carefully. The robot uses an AI model to find the buds that it should pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, a member of the research team. This helps the robot find the right tea buds about 90% 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 biggest challenge (挑战) for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.
“Tea-picking robots are a trend (趋势) of the future,” said Wu. “About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.
41．How are tea leaves usually picked
42．To find tea buds, what is the robot made to learn carefully
43．How does the robot pick tea buds
44．How many pickers are needed in Zhejiang
45．What do you think of the tea-picking robot
Most cars get their energy from petrol (汽油). But some cars use electricity. They get their power from large batteries (电池). There are also some cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor. They are called hybrid cars.
Most people think of electric cars as a new invention, but they have been around for a long time. In the late 19th century, electric cars became popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed. But when the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful, they became more popular. Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive. Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.
Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is that they can reduce pollution. In areas with a high percentage of electric cars, there is less pollution. But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning fossil fuels (化石燃料). The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power (核能) stations, there is less of a need to import oil from other countries.
There are some problems with electric cars as well. One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries. They need to be charged in special places. Right now, there aren’t enough places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity before they reach their destination.
Despite these problems, many people, including car industry experts, believe that the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future.
46．When did electric cars first become popular
47．Why have electric cars become popular again recently
48．What are the disadvantages of electric cars
49．Do you believe there will be more electric cars in the future Why (Please give at least two reasons)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now developing very fast. Now, it can even draw amazing pictures according to your text. This sounds cool, doesn’t it However, there’s a chance that many of these new pictures might be copied from Greg Rutkowski’s art.
Rutkowski is an artist from Poland. His art style is often used by a computer program called Stable Diffusion to make pictures. This program allows people to turn texts into pictures. For example, if you type “A man fights against a dragon with magic fire, like Greg Rutkowski”, the program will make a picture that looks a bit like what Rutkowski would make. Some of these pictures are taken from websites that sell art without the artists knowing. Rutkowski and other artists are not happy about this.
At first, Rutkowski was surprised by his popularity in the AI world. However, when he searched for his name on the internet, the results showed him plenty of artworks that looked like his but weren’t.
Artists say they might lose income (收入) as people start depending on AI programs for artworks. But the creation of art should also be a lot more personal. Karla Ortiz, an American artist, says art is often closely connected to its creator. It shouldn’t be easily re-created.
Tom Mason is the CTO (首席技术官) of Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion. He says that AI art is a completely new thing. It is natural to cause some problems. “We expect them to be solved over time,” he adds. “We’ll work to find the balance (平衡) between creating new products and helping the artists.”
50．What can AI do now according to the text
51．How did Rutkowski feel when he first discovered his popularity in the AI world
52．What might happen to the artists if people depend on AI programs for artworks
53．What’s Tom Mason’s plan to solve AI art problems
54．What’s your opinion toward the problem discussed in the text Why
Ice pops are delicious cold snacks. Many people enjoy them in summer. But do you know how they were invented
The story began in 1905. An 11-year-old boy named Frank left his drink outside. He used a stick to mix the drink. That night, the weather was very cold. The next morning, Frank found that the drink froze with the stick inside. He pulled the stick and the ice came out. It looked like ice on a stick. He tasted it and it was good. He began making this treat for his friends. People loved this new snack not only because it was sweet and cool but also fun to eat. They could hold the stick and lick the ice.
Later, Frank started selling the cold snack, which was invented by accident. He called it “Epsicle”. But his children called it “Pop’s sicle”. So the name “Popsicle” was born. The popsicle first became popular in America. During hot weather, people bought them to keep cool. Soon they were sold all over the country.
Today, you can find many kinds of ice pops. They come in different colors and flavors. But they all started with a little boy’s accident.

Today, more and more people drive cars. Cars make our lives easier, but they also make problems. One of the biggest problems is air pollution (污染) because most cars use petrol (汽油). So the “green” cars will become popular. It means that there will be a few new kinds of cars that don’t use petrol. Here are some of them:
Battery (电池) cars: These cars use batteries to run. Some battery cars are 97% cleaner than petrol cars. But car factories still can’t make a battery that can be used for a long time.
Fuel cell (燃料电池) cars: Car makers are now studying how fuel cells can be used to run cars. The only useless thing they will give out is clean water. Fuel cells, however, are still much too expensive to make. Fuel cell cars can be ten times as expensive as petrol cars.
Solar (太阳能的) cars: This kind of car gets power (能量) from the sun. The cars keep power in batteries. Solar cars may be the cleanest of all. But no one uses them, because people can’t get enough power from the sun to make a car run for a long time. Also, they are very slow.
根据短文内容填空。
60．The passage mentions (提到) new kinds of cars.
61．The word underlined “green” in the passage means .

People are living longer and longer these days. That’s good news. It’s great to have a long life. However, everything will be hard when people get old. When there are so many old people in society (社会), finding care is difficult.
Today, technology (技术) is helping us with this problem. Robots can give old people all kinds of care. Some robots can even accompany old people to be with them just like their good friends or family members.
Some care robots are like pets. When you touch them, they will move or make sounds like animals. They make old people happy, and no one has to feed them.
Some care robots can help old people with many things. They can tell them to take medicine, drink water, do exercise, and see the doctor. Also, if the robot’s owner has some problems, the robot will call someone for help. Other care robots do physical jobs. They pick things up and help people walk.
Many of these care robots don’t just help old people do things. They also make old people feel independent (自立的). Some experts make their robots look so thin that these robots also need care from old people. That way, people will care for the robots while the robots care for them.

In November 2023, a large new airship called Pathfinder 1 made its first test flight (飞行) in California. The scientists believed airships could move people and other things quickly and without polluting.
Airships were popular in the early 1900s. People stopped using them in 1937 after an airship caught fire. The accident scared people away from airships. LTA (Lighter Than Air) Research started working on Pathfinder 1 about 10 years ago. The airship is 121.9 meters long, and it’s the largest airship of its kind since the 1930s. From the outside, it looks similar to the airships of the 1930s, but Pathfinder 1 uses helium* instead of hydrogen*. The Pathfinder 1 has 12 electric motors*. The motors make it possible for the airship to take off and land (着陆) without a runway. The Pathfinder can fly at a speed of up to 120 kph, but it will be flying lower and more slowly during its early test flights.
Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4,000 kg of things. LTA hopes it can help out in difficult situations, such as after an earthquake (地震) or a rainstorm, when roads are closed and there's no place for planes to land. To tell the truth, LTA is already working on Pathfinder 3. It will be much larger and able to carry far more.Notes: helium 氦气; hydrogen 氢气; electric motor 电动机
70．Why did the scientists build a new airship
71．Why did people stop using airships in 1937
72．How long did the scientists work on Pathfinder 1
73．How fast can the Pathfinder 1 fly
74．What will the Pathfinder 3 be like
It will be fantastic if you don’t have to use your hand to brush your teeth. Someday, a robotic tooth cleaner might do it for you!
It is a kind of tooth cleaner with a lot of nanoparticles (纳米粒子). The nanoparticles are very small balls. They can move in a person’s mouth. Also, you can change them into any shape you want. The nanoparticles can also kill bacteria (细菌) just like toothpaste or mouthwash.
At the very beginning, Koo and Steager studied in different fields. Steager built very small robots. Koo tried to find new ways to work out the problems with teeth. Both of them were using the same nanoparticles but they didn’t know each other at first. One day, a friend of theirs learnt about both of their ideas and he told them they should meet. They met each other in a quiet library on a cold afternoon and they found that they could work together. Though Steager worked with these nanoparticles, he never thought that they might be useful in this way. “It was an amazing moment,” he said.
“We hope to see that the new way of cleaning teeth could help some ill people who can’t brush teeth easily,” Koo said.
The scientists have tested the robotic tooth cleaner in their own lab again and again. But it isn’t ready for people to use it yet. The robotic tooth cleaner will need to practise more comfortably and safely inside a person’s mouth. Koo and Steager are working hard on it. If their hard work can make the tooth cleaner better, a lot of sick people can brush their teeth easily and happily with the help of the tooth cleaner.
75．What is a robotic tooth cleaner
76．Who made Koo and Steager know each other
77．Where did Koo and Steager meet
78．Can people use the robotic tooth cleaner now
79．How do you like the robotic tooth cleaner

Drones are flying robots that can be controlled remotely or by computers. In the past, they were expensive and mainly used by the military (军事). But now, cheaper drones are helping people in many fields, like rescue work and farming.
A French company created a drone called “Agridrone” to help farmers. It uses special sensors (感应器) to examine crops. By flying over fields, the drone takes pictures that show which areas need fertilizer (肥料). This helps farmers save money and reduce pollution.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer who uses Agridrone. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the year. The pictures tell him exactly where and how much fertilizer to use. Before drones, farmers spread fertilizer everywhere, wasting money and harming the environment.
Drones also save time. They can check three hectares of land in one minute. Romain Faroux, the creator of Agridrone, says this technology is like a smartphone with wings. It uses sunlight reflections to analyze (分析) crop health.
Thanks to cheaper drones, more people are using them. They’re not just for the military anymore. Drones are becoming a powerful tool to solve real-world problems, especially in farming.
85．What is a drone
86．What technology does the Agridrone use to analyze crops
87．How do drones help farmers save money
88．How much time can drones save when examining crops
89．Who created the Agridrone and why
After a game like football, the players might get an X-ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms. A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields.
X-rays were first discovered (发现) by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1845-1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Rontgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.
Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray It’s because Rontgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术).
Rontgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think. I investigated (研究).” Rontgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.

The Wright Brothers and The First Plane
In 12 seconds in the year 1903, two young Americans changed the world forever. That was the length of the first successful flight of Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright’s plane.
Wilbur was born in 1867 and Orville in 1871. The Wright brothers developed a strong interest in flight from early childhood. They taught themselves maths and engineering. They started their flying experiments with big kites and gliders (滑翔机) and finally decided to make their own plane. The two brothers worked very hard to make a small engine and a propeller (螺旋桨) for their plane.
Their first plane weighed 340 kilograms. Its wings were 12 metres wide. On 17 December, 1903, Orville sat in the plane and made the first successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. His flight lasted for only 12 seconds and only covered 37 metres, but this was the first time when human beings successfully sent something heavier than the air into the sky with powered flight. Wilbur also flew the plane on the same day. In the last flight of the day, Wilbur flew for 59 seconds and covered a distance of 260 metres.
The Wright brothers improved their plane, and by 1909, it could fly for 32 kilometres. The Wright brothers are surely among the most important inventors of the 20th century.

The first AI-driven (人工智能驾驶的) bus went on a road test in Shenzhen, and the self-driving (自动驾驶的) car is no longer a far dream.
Most people are excited about AI-driven cars. AI could be a “better driver” than humans as its reaction (反应) time is much shorter than humans’. Also, AI never gets tired and there is no fear of it driving under the influence (影响). What’s more, when two humans drive too close on a road and one has to slow down to avoid an accident (避免事故), both would expect the other to do so, and the problem could be serious because they cannot talk to each other. However, that problem will not happen to two AI-driven cars because they could “talk” through the cloud and decide which one should slow down.
But some people are worried. The test in Shenzhen was done on a special road. There are more uncertain things on real roads. And one problem for AI is not about learning to remember road signs, but about learning to take actions in sudden and unexpected situations (情况). Also, it has been reported that some people took control of others’ computers in self-driving cars. This could be very dangerous.
All in all, AI-driven cars will keep improving and all the possible problems will be solved (解决) before they are widely used. We will meet them soon in the future.
6．Did the first AI-driven bus go on a road test in Shanghai
7．Why could AI be a “better driver” than humans according to the passage
8．What are problems for AI-driven cars
9．Do you think using AI-driven cars is a good choice Give two reasons. (No more than 30 words)
In 223 BC, Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. He was frustrated (沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.
Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail (痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit’s tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was oily (多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his “rabbit hair brush pen” away into a hole in the rocks.
However, Meng Tian couldn’t accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. By chance, he found again the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.
10．What did people write with in 223 BC
11．What was Meng Tian’s hobby between battles
12．How did Meng Tian feel when he failed to write with the rabbit’s hair
13．Did Meng Tian succeed in making the brush pen at last
14．新考向开放性试题：What do you think of Meng Tian Why do you think so

Great inventions are changing and improving our lives in many ways. A 3D printer, one of the great inventions, is like a magical machine. It can make objects into real things from computer designs. What is more amazing, two young scientists made a special 3D food printer in Qatar. It can use bits of vegetables to create food!
These smart students, Annan and Mansoori, are students at Carnegie Mellon University in Doha. To make the 3D carrot, they first used very small parts of a real carrot and made lots of them in a science lab. Then they used these tiny parts like ink (墨水) in their printer to make the carrot. By using vegetable cells (细胞) and ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) , a new carrot is printed. UV light is a kind of energy that helps stick the carrot bits together. The invention may help with food safety.
They chose carrots in the test because scientists knew a lot about how carrot parts grew into plants. Mansoori said 3D-printed food can be made cheaply. It doesn’t require large areas of land. It also does not require maintenance (维护) costs. 3D-printed carrots are cheaper than real carrots.
Today, 733 million people are facing hunger. Mansoori hopes 3D printers will be used in restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals. The purpose, she said, is to make food reachable to people all over the world.
18．What can the special 3D food printer do
19．Where do Annan and Mansoori study
20．How is a new carrot printed
21．Why did they choose carrots in the test
22．What is the purpose of the invention of 3D food printers

Scientists create small “robots” that you can eat
科学家造出可食用电子产品
What would you like for lunch Maybe, a battery (电池) Although it sounds unusual, this has already been realized by scientists as they develop electronic things you can eat.
Robofood, led by Dario Floreano from a Swiss Institute, has created a new drone (无人机) with scientists from Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Half of the parts inside can be eaten! The program aims to (旨在) make robots that can be eaten and foods that act like robots by mixing food science and robots in a new way.
The drone’s wings are made from rice cakes glued together with oil and chocolate. It can find missing people or animals in emergencies (紧急情况) and send food or medicine. Parts of the drone can be eaten because they meet food safety standards for emergencies set by the United Nations.
However, the main challenge is finding stronger edible (可食用的) materials for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures—of course, the chocolate may melt (融化) easily.
Robofood also developed an edible sensor (感应器) to help monitor (监控) stomach sickness. It’s eaten by the patient to check the conditions inside. It’s different from other sensors because it’s easy for your body to digest (消化), so it won’t leave any remains inside the body.
The invention of Robofood also helps with environmental protection. There are batteries that you can fully eat. They are made from natural things like vitamin B2 and elements (元素) found in fruits. This helps the environment because you won’t have to throw them away like other batteries.Choose the answer
23．What is Robofood’s main goal
A．To develop smart drones. B．To create edible electronics.
C．To help check stomach disease. D．To put sensors on drones.
24．What problem does Robofood’s drone have
A．The drone can easily break during flying. B．The drone cannot take off in bad weather.
C．The materials are not strong enough. D．The materials cannot easily melt.
25．Compared to other sensors for checking the stomach, Robofood’s sensors ________.
A．can be safer for health B．can check more carefully
C．can stay in the human body longer D．can be taken as medicine
26．Why is Robofood’s battery good for nature
A．It uses less power. B．It cuts down pollution.
C．It uses solar power. D．It is made from food waste.
27．Use your own words to introduce Robofood inventions:

Many of us know about 3D films, TVs and so on. They are interesting and young people like to watch them very much. But are there any 3D newspapers in the world The answer is “Yes”. La Derniere Heure, a Belgian (比利时) newspaper, once made 3D newspaper for its readers.
It took the team two months to make its first 3D newspaper. The team printed (印刷) 115,000 special copies. It was a big number. Many readers tried to buy this new kind of newspaper.
Each of these newspapers comes with a pair of free 3D glasses. All the photos and pictures in the newspaper are in 3D．But the words do not change. Readers can read the newspaper best when they put the paper 50 cm away from their eyes. In fact, if people don’t wear the 3D glasses, it’ll be hard for them to read the newspaper because the pictures are not clear (清楚的).
Most of the people bought the newspaper just for fun. The team didn’t go on with the work because it cost too much to make such newspapers.

Bitwalking is an invention made by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people for walking, which is based on (在……的基础上) their daily walking steps.
With this app, walkers can earn one “Bitwalking dollar” for about 1, 000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent in special online stores or exchanged for cash.
One goal behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people’s lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.
The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade (交易) them for cash. Bitwalking is really helpful in changing lives!
33．How many Bitwalking dollars can one person get at most every day
34．What is the purpose of Bitwalking
35．Do you think we middle school students should use this app Why or why not

What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages, as shown by these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The future of 3D printing looks bright. But the disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. After an illness or an accident, it might also help people walk again. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes, or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. In my view, life in the future will be different from what it is now.
36．The writer tells us that each technology has advantages and disadvantages by three examples in the passage.
37．Flying cars can and busy roads.
38．3D printing is another new technology for the future, but it is very .
39．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to .
40．How do you like technology Why

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 leaves are 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 make the robot learn them carefully. The robot uses an AI model to find the buds that it should pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, a member of the research team. This helps the robot find the right tea buds about 90% 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 biggest challenge (挑战) for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.
“Tea-picking robots are a trend (趋势) of the future,” said Wu. “About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.
41．How are tea leaves usually picked
42．To find tea buds, what is the robot made to learn carefully
43．How does the robot pick tea buds
44．How many pickers are needed in Zhejiang
45．What do you think of the tea-picking robot
Most cars get their energy from petrol (汽油). But some cars use electricity. They get their power from large batteries (电池). There are also some cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor. They are called hybrid cars.
Most people think of electric cars as a new invention, but they have been around for a long time. In the late 19th century, electric cars became popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed. But when the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful, they became more popular. Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive. Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.
Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is that they can reduce pollution. In areas with a high percentage of electric cars, there is less pollution. But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning fossil fuels (化石燃料). The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power (核能) stations, there is less of a need to import oil from other countries.
There are some problems with electric cars as well. One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries. They need to be charged in special places. Right now, there aren’t enough places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity before they reach their destination.
Despite these problems, many people, including car industry experts, believe that the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future.
46．When did electric cars first become popular
47．Why have electric cars become popular again recently
48．What are the disadvantages of electric cars
49．Do you believe there will be more electric cars in the future Why (Please give at least two reasons)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now developing very fast. Now, it can even draw amazing pictures according to your text. This sounds cool, doesn’t it However, there’s a chance that many of these new pictures might be copied from Greg Rutkowski’s art.
Rutkowski is an artist from Poland. His art style is often used by a computer program called Stable Diffusion to make pictures. This program allows people to turn texts into pictures. For example, if you type “A man fights against a dragon with magic fire, like Greg Rutkowski”, the program will make a picture that looks a bit like what Rutkowski would make. Some of these pictures are taken from websites that sell art without the artists knowing. Rutkowski and other artists are not happy about this.
At first, Rutkowski was surprised by his popularity in the AI world. However, when he searched for his name on the internet, the results showed him plenty of artworks that looked like his but weren’t.
Artists say they might lose income (收入) as people start depending on AI programs for artworks. But the creation of art should also be a lot more personal. Karla Ortiz, an American artist, says art is often closely connected to its creator. It shouldn’t be easily re-created.
Tom Mason is the CTO (首席技术官) of Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion. He says that AI art is a completely new thing. It is natural to cause some problems. “We expect them to be solved over time,” he adds. “We’ll work to find the balance (平衡) between creating new products and helping the artists.”
50．What can AI do now according to the text
51．How did Rutkowski feel when he first discovered his popularity in the AI world
52．What might happen to the artists if people depend on AI programs for artworks
53．What’s Tom Mason’s plan to solve AI art problems
54．What’s your opinion toward the problem discussed in the text Why
Ice pops are delicious cold snacks. Many people enjoy them in summer. But do you know how they were invented
The story began in 1905. An 11-year-old boy named Frank left his drink outside. He used a stick to mix the drink. That night, the weather was very cold. The next morning, Frank found that the drink froze with the stick inside. He pulled the stick and the ice came out. It looked like ice on a stick. He tasted it and it was good. He began making this treat for his friends. People loved this new snack not only because it was sweet and cool but also fun to eat. They could hold the stick and lick the ice.
Later, Frank started selling the cold snack, which was invented by accident. He called it “Epsicle”. But his children called it “Pop’s sicle”. So the name “Popsicle” was born. The popsicle first became popular in America. During hot weather, people bought them to keep cool. Soon they were sold all over the country.
Today, you can find many kinds of ice pops. They come in different colors and flavors. But they all started with a little boy’s accident.

Today, more and more people drive cars. Cars make our lives easier, but they also make problems. One of the biggest problems is air pollution (污染) because most cars use petrol (汽油). So the “green” cars will become popular. It means that there will be a few new kinds of cars that don’t use petrol. Here are some of them:
Battery (电池) cars: These cars use batteries to run. Some battery cars are 97% cleaner than petrol cars. But car factories still can’t make a battery that can be used for a long time.
Fuel cell (燃料电池) cars: Car makers are now studying how fuel cells can be used to run cars. The only useless thing they will give out is clean water. Fuel cells, however, are still much too expensive to make. Fuel cell cars can be ten times as expensive as petrol cars.
Solar (太阳能的) cars: This kind of car gets power (能量) from the sun. The cars keep power in batteries. Solar cars may be the cleanest of all. But no one uses them, because people can’t get enough power from the sun to make a car run for a long time. Also, they are very slow.
根据短文内容填空。
60．The passage mentions (提到) new kinds of cars.
61．The word underlined “green” in the passage means .
62．If more people use “green” cars, there will be less .

People are living longer and longer these days. That’s good news. It’s great to have a long life. However, everything will be hard when people get old. When there are so many old people in society (社会), finding care is difficult.
Today, technology (技术) is helping us with this problem. Robots can give old people all kinds of care. Some robots can even accompany old people to be with them just like their good friends or family members.
Some care robots are like pets. When you touch them, they will move or make sounds like animals. They make old people happy, and no one has to feed them.
Some care robots can help old people with many things. They can tell them to take medicine, drink water, do exercise, and see the doctor. Also, if the robot’s owner has some problems, the robot will call someone for help. Other care robots do physical jobs. They pick things up and help people walk.
Many of these care robots don’t just help old people do things. They also make old people feel independent (自立的). Some experts make their robots look so thin that these robots also need care from old people. That way, people will care for the robots while the robots care for them.

In November 2023, a large new airship called Pathfinder 1 made its first test flight (飞行) in California. The scientists believed airships could move people and other things quickly and without polluting.
Airships were popular in the early 1900s. People stopped using them in 1937 after an airship caught fire. The accident scared people away from airships. LTA (Lighter Than Air) Research started working on Pathfinder 1 about 10 years ago. The airship is 121.9 meters long, and it’s the largest airship of its kind since the 1930s. From the outside, it looks similar to the airships of the 1930s, but Pathfinder 1 uses helium* instead of hydrogen*. The Pathfinder 1 has 12 electric motors*. The motors make it possible for the airship to take off and land (着陆) without a runway. The Pathfinder can fly at a speed of up to 120 kph, but it will be flying lower and more slowly during its early test flights.
Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4,000 kg of things. LTA hopes it can help out in difficult situations, such as after an earthquake (地震) or a rainstorm, when roads are closed and there's no place for planes to land. To tell the truth, LTA is already working on Pathfinder 3. It will be much larger and able to carry far more.Notes: helium 氦气; hydrogen 氢气; electric motor 电动机
70．Why did the scientists build a new airship
71．Why did people stop using airships in 1937
72．How long did the scientists work on Pathfinder 1
73．How fast can the Pathfinder 1 fly
74．What will the Pathfinder 3 be like
It will be fantastic if you don’t have to use your hand to brush your teeth. Someday, a robotic tooth cleaner might do it for you!
It is a kind of tooth cleaner with a lot of nanoparticles (纳米粒子). The nanoparticles are very small balls. They can move in a person’s mouth. Also, you can change them into any shape you want. The nanoparticles can also kill bacteria (细菌) just like toothpaste or mouthwash.
At the very beginning, Koo and Steager studied in different fields. Steager built very small robots. Koo tried to find new ways to work out the problems with teeth. Both of them were using the same nanoparticles but they didn’t know each other at first. One day, a friend of theirs learnt about both of their ideas and he told them they should meet. They met each other in a quiet library on a cold afternoon and they found that they could work together. Though Steager worked with these nanoparticles, he never thought that they might be useful in this way. “It was an amazing moment,” he said.
“We hope to see that the new way of cleaning teeth could help some ill people who can’t brush teeth easily,” Koo said.
The scientists have tested the robotic tooth cleaner in their own lab again and again. But it isn’t ready for people to use it yet. The robotic tooth cleaner will need to practise more comfortably and safely inside a person’s mouth. Koo and Steager are working hard on it. If their hard work can make the tooth cleaner better, a lot of sick people can brush their teeth easily and happily with the help of the tooth cleaner.
75．What is a robotic tooth cleaner
76．Who made Koo and Steager know each other
77．Where did Koo and Steager meet
78．Can people use the robotic tooth cleaner now
79．How do you like the robotic tooth cleaner

根据短文内容回答下列问题。
Drones are flying robots that can be controlled remotely or by computers. In the past, they were expensive and mainly used by the military (军事). But now, cheaper drones are helping people in many fields, like rescue work and farming.
A French company created a drone called “Agridrone” to help farmers. It uses special sensors (感应器) to examine crops. By flying over fields, the drone takes pictures that show which areas need fertilizer (肥料). This helps farmers save money and reduce pollution.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer who uses Agridrone. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the year. The pictures tell him exactly where and how much fertilizer to use. Before drones, farmers spread fertilizer everywhere, wasting money and harming the environment.
Drones also save time. They can check three hectares of land in one minute. Romain Faroux, the creator of Agridrone, says this technology is like a smartphone with wings. It uses sunlight reflections to analyze (分析) crop health.
Thanks to cheaper drones, more people are using them. They’re not just for the military anymore. Drones are becoming a powerful tool to solve real-world problems, especially in farming.
85．What is a drone
86．What technology does the Agridrone use to analyze crops
87．How do drones help farmers save money
88．How much time can drones save when examining crops
89．Who created the Agridrone and why
After a game like football, the players might get an X-ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms. A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields.
X-rays were first discovered (发现) by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1845-1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Rontgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.
Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray It’s because Rontgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术).
Rontgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think. I investigated (研究).” Rontgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.
90．Where is X-ray technology widely used
91．When were X-rays discovered
92．What was in the first X-ray photo in the world
93．Why did Rontgen name the ray “X-ray”
94．What do you think of Rontgen And why
