Every November, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. These are the things that have made our lives different in one way 31 another. Here, TEENS has chosen three of 32 ones on the list.
Ember Mug
It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot 33 at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. According to Time, the perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere 34 48 ℃ and 62 ℃, once you set it through a smart phone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make it 35 so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes(食谱) to look the same as how the professionals make them. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by Buzzfeed, the cooker can 36 to a smart phone app, which has more than 1, 700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do.
Jibo
Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives. Despite this, they’re still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has 37 smart technology to life. Jibo looks like a cartoon character with a cylindrical (圆筒状的) body, a round head and a 38 that sounds like a 10-year-old boy. Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, 39 allow it to recognize faces and speeches. Jibo will move to face you whenever you talk to it, according to Time. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.

A
The well-known “new great inventions” of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.
High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020, one-fifth of the country’s 150, 000-km railway network had been used by the trains. This network links more than 80 percent of major cities across China.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a “careless society”. Instead of paying by cash (现金), customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat Pay app on their mobile phone.
Shared bikes
China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays, bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps. China’s two leading bike-sharing companies, Mobike and Ofo, have been opening their overseas markets in Singapore, the UK and the United States.
Online shopping
With around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world’s largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements (执照要求), it’s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. In 2016, more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created, with over 8. 1 million running their own online shops.
( )41. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The fast-developing technology.
B. Modern China.
C. China’s new great inventions.
D. Convenient daily lives in China.
( )42. By 2020, more than ______of major cities across China will be linked by high-speed trains network.
A. 30% B. one-fifth C. 80% D. 20%
( )43. Mobile payment makes shopping more convenient in China because customers ______.

B. needn’t take cash
C. don’t have to use a password
D. needn’t pay for the bills
( )44. Shared bikes can be picked up or parked ______.
A. on the street B. in Mobike and Ofo
C. in parks D. in markets
( )45. ______ can make online shopping develop so fast in China.
A. Lower costs
B. Fewer licensing requirements
C. More job chances
D. A, B & C
B
If you look at the top of your phone, you’ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G. The “G” stands for the “generation”(代) of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone. Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data (数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem—lag (延迟). When the car “sees” an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the Internet of things (IoT), that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast Internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology. The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
( )46. Which city was 5G tested for the first time
A. Beijing. B. Shanghai. C. Shenzhen.
( )47. What can we infer (推测) according to the passage
A. 5G is widely used in China now.
B. 5G networks will make our lives more convenient.
C. There are no symbols at the top of our phones.
( )48. The writer used self-driving cars as an example to ______.
A. explain how 5G’s fast speed can be helpful
B. warn about the possible dangers of self-driving cars
C. explain how self-driving cars work
( )49. What is IoT according to the passage
A. A robot that can do housework.
B. An online store where you can buy anything.
C. A large online network that connects things and people.
( )50. Which sentence is right according to the passage
A. 5G will help us buy eggs quickly.
B. Robots can help us buy eggs online.
C. Our refrigerator can order eggs online for us.
C
根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。
There are many different ideas about when and where the first toothbrush was invented. Some people say it was invented in China around the 11th century. Others say the Romans invented it around the time of Caesar. Nobody knows the exact history of teeth cleaning.
Before the first toothbrush, sharp(尖的) objects were used to clean teeth.
It’s believed that tribes(部落) in Africa and Australia invented the idea of cleaning their teeth. The modern toothbrush with bristles(毛) was invented in China much later in the 16th or 17th century. Toothbrushes moved to Europe in the mid-1600s and then became widely used in the area. Animal hair was the first type of bristle to be used.
Today, toothbrushes have nylon(尼龙) bristles and normally have a plastic handle(塑料手柄). Animal hair was replaced by nylon in 1938. Electric toothbrushes were invented and marketed in 1880 by Dr. Scott. The popularity of the electric toothbrush did not take place until after World War Ⅱ.

书面表达
Computers play a very important role in our daily life. Do you know the history and changes of computers The first computer was invented in 1946. At that time, it was very huge and as big as a house.
As the computer develops, it is now a very good helper in our daily life. Through it, we can store information and send messages to other people. We can also listen to music on computers and play computer games to relax ourselves.
It is difficult to imagine what our life would be like if we had no computers. In my opinion, computers have changed our life completely.
