In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems that everything has been greatly improved. But there is one different thing. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained unchanged for a long time. I'm talking about the walking stick for the blind.
The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time. However, it hadn't really been improved, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that. He hoped his invention would help the blind.
He invented a smart stick called the WeWalk. The smart stick uses built in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warn about possible dangers. It helps blind people in navigating (确定方位) around their environment. It makes their travel much easier. The stick is priced at around $500. It is less than half the price of many smartphones. Most people can afford it. This invention is going to change life a lot for the blind.
Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face. That's because he is blind himself. He decided to put his knowledge of technology into inventing something. It would not only change his life, but also the life of many others.
“These days, we are talking about flying cars. But the blind have been using just a simple stick. As a blind person, when I am at the bus stop, I don't know which bus is coming or which stores are around me. Now, that kind of information can be provided by the WeWalk，” he said. “I believe life of the blind will be much easier and safer. ”
48. What's the third paragraph mainly about
A. The name of the smart stick.
B. The reason for inventing the WeWalk.
C. The introduction of the WeWalk.
D. The future of the WeWalk.
49. Which words can we use to describe Kursat
A. Creative and caring.
B. Smart and thankful.
C. Healthy and lucky.
D. Rich and outgoing.
50. Which one is Kursat's idea
A. Flying cars are more important than the WeWalk.
B. The blind shouldn't take the bus.
C. With the WeWalk, the blind can find their way more easily.
D. The WeWalk can solve all the problems for the blind.

Ⅶ. 任务型阅读：阅读下面的语篇材料，根据所读内容，完成下列各题。(共5小题，计10分)
What will the world of tomorrow be like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on earth today. New technology may solve old problems, but it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. It has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples show.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own 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 disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit(套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost.
When we look 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 these things are possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people's life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
71. What may new technology do
It may ________________ but may also create new ones.
72. If the flying cars become popular, what will be the problem
The problem will be __________________.
73. What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident
It might help people ________________.
74. What does “It” refer to in the fifth paragraph
It refers to ________________.
75. What are 3D printers used to do
They are ___________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________.

Ⅸ. 　　The smartphone is a great invention in our modern life. It was invented by IBM in the United States in 1993. There is no doubt that we have benefited a lot from smartphones.
We can read news, watch films, take photos, pay for things, chat with friends, keep in touch with our relatives, or play games to get relaxed. The smartphone helps in life and makes communication easier. But every coin has two sides. Smartphones also have bad effects on people. Too much use is bad for eyes and affects study. It's very common for young people to lower their heads to check something on smartphones.
I think we should make good use of the smartphone. It is just a tool, not the main part of our life.
