Johannes Gutenberg Job: InventorBorn: 1398 in Mainz GermanyDied: February 3, 1468 in Mainz, GermanyBest known for: Introduced movable type and the printing press（活字印刷机）to Europe
Johannes Gutenberg introduced the idea of movable type and the printing press to Europe. While this may not sound like a big deal at first, the printing press is often considered as the most important invention in modern times. Think about how important information is today. Without books and computers, you wouldn’t be able to learn, to pass on information, or to share scientific discoveries.
Before Gutenberg introduced the printing press, it was quite difficult to make a book in Europe. It wasn’t that hard to write a letter to one person by hand, but to thousands of books for many people to read was nearly impossible. Without the printing press we wouldn’t have had the Scientific Revolution（科学革命）or the Renaissance（文艺复兴）. Our world would be very different.
Gutenberg took some existing technologies and some of his own inventions to come up with the printing press in the year 1450. One key idea he came up with was movable type. Rather than use wooden books to press ink onto paper, Gutenberg used movable metal pieces to quickly create pages.
Gutenberg introduced his new idea all the way through the printing process enabling pages to be printed much more rapidly. His presses could print 1000 pages per day versus (与……相比) only 40-50 pages with the old method. This was a great improvement and allowed books to be used by the middle class for the first time in the history of Europe. Knowledge and education spread throughout the continent like never before.
31. What is Johannes Gutenberg
A. A teacher. B. An engineer. C. An inventor. D. An artist.
32. How old was Guternerg when he came up with the idea of the printing press
A. 52. B. 70. C. 73. D. 18.
33. Which of the following is NOT true about Gutenberg's invention
A. Using movable meal pieces enables people to create books quickly.
B. 1,000 more pages could be printed than before every day.
C. People could pass on information, or share scientific discoveries.
D. Knowledge and education spread throughout Europe like never before.
34. What is writer’s purpose to write Paragraph 2
A. To tell us what Gutenberg invented.
B. To tell us how Gutenberg invented the printing press.
C. To tell us why Gutenberg invented the printing press.
D. To tell us how important the printing press was.
35. We may read his passage in a magazine called ________.
A. Great People in History B. Future Science
C. National Geography D. Global News
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍约翰内斯·古腾堡将活字印刷术和印刷机引入欧洲。
31细节理解题。根据“Job: Inventor”可知，Johannes Gutenberg是一名发明家，故选C。
32.细节理解题。根据“Born: 1398 in Mainz Germany”和“Gutenberg took some existing technologies and some of his own inventions to come up with the printing press in the year 1450.”可知，Johannes Gutenberg在52岁时想出了印刷机的主意，故选A。
33.推理判断题。根据“His presses could print 1,000 pages per day versus only 40-50 pages with the old method.”可知，他的印刷机每天可以印刷1000页，而用老方法只能印刷40-50页。故选B。
34.段落大意题。分析第二段内容可知，本段介绍没有印刷机前，在欧洲制作一本书是相当困难的，为了说明发明印刷机的重要性，故选D。
35.推理判断题。本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍约翰内斯·古腾堡将活字印刷术和印刷机引入欧洲。所以推测可能在《历史上的伟人》杂志中看到。故选A。
C
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula (公式) for success:
Dream > Believe > Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
36. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard
A. Ask people for help. B. Try and keep trying.
C. Get ready to create wonders. D. Prepare for a harder one.
37. Which does the writer add to the famous formula
A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create.
38. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean
A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties.
39. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”
A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it.
C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge.
40. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Doing Something Valuable B. Studying Hard and Making Progress
C. Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D. Separating Successful People from Dreams
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. A 40. C
【解析】每个人对未来都有梦想和目标，但是只有梦想和目标是不够的，行动才是连接梦想和目标与现实的桥梁。
36细节理解题。根据“You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.”可知，发现一些功课很难时要继续努力，故选B。
37.细节理解题。比较“Dream > Believe > Achieve”和“Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”可知，作者添加了“Act”，故选A。
38词义猜测题。分析“Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them.”可知，在我们的生活中会有障碍，我们要勇敢面对，解决问题。此处obstacles的意思是“问题，障碍”，故选D。
39.推理判断题。分析倒数第二段内容可知，作者用“Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”公式是为了证明自己的观点，故选A。
40.最佳标题题。本文作者告诉我们只有梦想和目标是不够的，行动才是连接梦想和目标与现实的桥梁。故选C。
D
Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Every year, TIME magazine lists (列出) the 100 best inventions based on their creativity (创造性) and impact (影响) on our lives. What did the magazine choose in 2021 Let’s take a look.
ORCAM
Easier to read
Reading can be a big challenge for tens of millions of people. They may have poor vision (视力) or reading
difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI
system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button (点击按钮), it can read the text aloud to the
user. You don’t need to connect (连接) it to the internet. You can use it offline at home, work, school, or even in
stores when you need to read a price tag (标签).
Sweet idea
Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business (养蜂业) is not good for these hard-working
insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting (收获) honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology (合成生物学) to create honey directly from plants. This kind of honey tastes just like the real one, and it is healthy, too.
Keep you calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can
help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry (毛茸茸的), bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感器).
It has a quick “heartbeat (心跳)” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it
purrs (发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will become
more aware of your own feelings and learn how to feel calm yourself.
41.How should people with reading difficulties use OrCam Read
A. Use it to scan text they need to read.
B. Use it to scan images they can’t see.
C. Connect it to a small camera.
D. Connect it to the internet.
42. What does “bee-free” mean
A. Bees can do what they want.

Besides, there was a speech competition, where students were requested to speak loudly in public and keep their voice clear and confident. In addition, the singer competition impressed us most because the songs are wonderful and the singers sang very well.
Last but not least, students also enjoyed the food show very much, which made us taste a
lot of tasty food from all over the world.
As far as I am concerned, it's meaningful to hold such an interesting activity. In this way,
students can not only get relaxed but also broaden our horizons and improve ourselves.

Johannes Gutenberg Job: InventorBorn: 1398 in Mainz GermanyDied: February 3, 1468 in Mainz, GermanyBest known for: Introduced movable type and the printing press（活字印刷机）to Europe
Johannes Gutenberg introduced the idea of movable type and the printing press to Europe. While this may not sound like a big deal at first, the printing press is often considered as the most important invention in modern times. Think about how important information is today. Without books and computers, you wouldn’t be able to learn, to pass on information, or to share scientific discoveries.
Before Gutenberg introduced the printing press, it was quite difficult to make a book in Europe. It wasn’t that hard to write a letter to one person by hand, but to thousands of books for many people to read was nearly impossible. Without the printing press we wouldn’t have had the Scientific Revolution（科学革命）or the Renaissance（文艺复兴）. Our world would be very different.
Gutenberg took some existing technologies and some of his own inventions to come up with the printing press in the year 1450. One key idea he came up with was movable type. Rather than use wooden books to press ink onto paper, Gutenberg used movable metal pieces to quickly create pages.
Gutenberg introduced his new idea all the way through the printing process enabling pages to be printed much more rapidly. His presses could print 1000 pages per day versus (与……相比) only 40-50 pages with the old method. This was a great improvement and allowed books to be used by the middle class for the first time in the history of Europe. Knowledge and education spread throughout the continent like never before.
31. What is Johannes Gutenberg
A. A teacher. B. An engineer. C. An inventor. D. An artist.
32. How old was Guternerg when he came up with the idea of the printing press
A. 52. B. 70. C. 73. D. 18.
33. Which of the following is NOT true about Gutenberg's invention
A. Using movable meal pieces enables people to create books quickly.
B. 1,000 more pages could be printed than before every day.
C. People could pass on information, or share scientific discoveries.
D. Knowledge and education spread throughout Europe like never before.
34. What is writer’s purpose to write Paragraph 2
A. To tell us what Gutenberg invented.
B. To tell us how Gutenberg invented the printing press.
C. To tell us why Gutenberg invented the printing press.
D. To tell us how important the printing press was.
35. We may read his passage in a magazine called ________.
A. Great People in History B. Future Science
C. National Geography D. Global News
C
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula (公式) for success:
Dream > Believe > Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
36. What should you do when you find your lessons very hard
A. Ask people for help. B. Try and keep trying.
C. Get ready to create wonders. D. Prepare for a harder one.
37. Which does the writer add to the famous formula
A. Act. B. Achieve. C. Connect. D. Create.
38. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean
A. Dangers. B. Imaginations. C. Wonders. D. Difficulties.
39. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream > Believe > Act > Achieve”
A. To support his idea. B. To ask readers to explain it.
C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge.
40. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Doing Something Valuable B. Studying Hard and Making Progress
C. Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D. Separating Successful People from Dreams
D
Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Every year, TIME magazine lists (列出) the 100 best inventions based on their creativity (创造性) and impact (影响) on our lives. What did the magazine choose in 2021 Let’s take a look.
Easier to read
Reading can be a big challenge for tens of millions of people. They may have poor vision (视力) or reading
difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI
system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button (点击按钮), it can read the text aloud to the
user. You don’t need to connect (连接) it to the internet. You can use it offline at home, work, school, or even in
stores when you need to read a price tag (标签).
Sweet idea
Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business (养蜂业) is not good for these hard-working
insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting (收获) honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology (合成生物学) to create honey directly from plants. This kind of honey tastes just like the real one, and it is healthy, too.
Keep you calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can
help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry (毛茸茸的), bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感器).
It has a quick “heartbeat (心跳)” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it
purrs (发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will become
more aware of your own feelings and learn how to feel calm yourself.
41.How should people with reading difficulties use OrCam Read
A. Use it to scan text they need to read.
B. Use it to scan images they can’t see.
C. Connect it to a small camera.
D. Connect it to the internet.
42. What does “bee-free” mean
A. Bees can do what they want.
B. Spend less money feeding bees.
C. Bees can be set free after working.
D. No bees are needed.

A. It is not good for human health.
B. It has the same taste as real honey.
C. It is made from real honey.
D. It helps beekeeping businesses make more money.
