What are you holding in your hand while you are taking an examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engines(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Imagine using your coat to look through the internet, send and receive messages, and even read a map. Yes, you read that correctly—your coat.
It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display （显示屏）.
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. After testing different combinations, they chose two materials that worked: a silver-plated yarn （镀银纱）that can light up and a kind of thread （纺线）that conducts （传导）electricity.
The results have been admirable. It’s not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10, 000 times, the cloth remained almost unchanged.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers （障碍）or disabilities.
In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then translated into messages like “anxious” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute （聋哑的） people “talk” to each other in the future.
“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them, ”said Peng.
6. The researchers have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a ________.
A. digital camera B. digital display
C. digital method D. digital communication
7. A silver-plated yam and a kind of ________ were chosen to make “digital cloth”.
A. gold B. metal C. steel D. thread
8. The new cloth can allow a driver ________ on their arm when they drive around.
A. to read a GPS map B. to print a GPS map
C. to make a GPS map D. to draw a GPS map
9. The underlined word “meditating” in Paragraph 6 means ________ in Chinese.
A. 争吵 B. 打架 C. 冥想 D. 讨论
10. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE
A. The new cloth remained unchanged after it is washed or folded.
B. New materials may shape next-generation electronic devices.
C. The new cloth could help people who have language barriers or disabilities communicate better.
D. The “fueling” shown on the cloth couldn’t help deaf-mute people “talk” to each other.
C．阅读填空（有2项多余）
Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. 1. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag
In the Han Dynasty, when old-style private schools were opened, students used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. 2. There were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things, like books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes. 3.
For example, in The Legend of White Snake, Xu Shilin carries a bamboo box to the capital to take an exam. And in the movie The Chinese Ghost Story(《倩女幽魂》), the scholar Ning Caichen also carries a bamboo box.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular. 4. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has been produced in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks. 5.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what schoolbags will be like in the future
A. Everyone at that time owned such a bag.B. You can see the bamboo box in many TV shows.C. We can’t go to school without our schoolbags.D. People consider the bamboo box to be the earliest schoolbag.E. They are the most common seen schoolbags now.F. They are a big part of our lives.G. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags.

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking an examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engines(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Imagine using your coat to look through the internet, send and receive messages, and even read a map. Yes, you read that correctly—your coat.
It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display （显示屏）.
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. After testing different combinations, they chose two materials that worked: a silver-plated yarn （镀银纱）that can light up and a kind of thread （纺线）that conducts （传导）electricity.
The results have been admirable. It’s not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10, 000 times, the cloth remained almost unchanged.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers （障碍）or disabilities.
In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then translated into messages like “anxious” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute （聋哑的） people “talk” to each other in the future.
“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them, ”said Peng.
6. The researchers have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a ________.

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. 1. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag
In the Han Dynasty, when old-style private schools were opened, students used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. 2. There were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things, like books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes. 3.
For example, in The Legend of White Snake, Xu Shilin carries a bamboo box to the capital to take an exam. And in the movie The Chinese Ghost Story(《倩女幽魂》), the scholar Ning Caichen also carries a bamboo box.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular. 4. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has been produced in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks. 5.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what schoolbags will be like in the future
A. Everyone at that time owned such a bag.B. You can see the bamboo box in many TV shows.C. We can’t go to school without our schoolbags.D. People consider the bamboo box to be the earliest schoolbag.E. They are the most common seen schoolbags now.F. They are a big part of our lives.G. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags.
