Dr Richard Fairhurst, 　1　 new book The New Age of Invention has just been published, is being interviewed. The following is what he tells us.
There　2　(be) golden ages of invention throughout history. In Ancient China, there were the four great 　3　(invention): gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. They 　4　(change) the world forever. There were the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and 　5　 radio. And now, we are in the great new age of technology, when most of the new great inventions are tech-based. For example, advances in virtual 　6　(real), wearable tech and the flexible battery, mean we should soon be seeing further developments. 　7　 addition, new inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts. What's more, it's possible 　8　(create) an intelligent walking house.
Most inventions start with　9　(recognise) a problem that needs a solution. But what remains 　10　(importance) is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that's the real spirit of invention.

Edward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination(着迷) with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his Bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson's early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals.
Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert H lldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects' social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson's major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic(基因的) roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior.
Wilson faced accusations(谴责) of these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas of the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him his first Pulitzer Prize in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 30 books. These accomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues said the polite biologist remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened to and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees.
1.What contributed to Wilson's passion for ants
A.His accidental disability.　　　　B.The discovery he made about ants.
C.The school education he received.　　　　D.His boyhood time spent in nature.
2.What is Wilson's first Pulitzer-winning book about
A.The social structure of ants.
B.The distribution of different species.
C.The links between biology and human culture.
D.The role of chemical signals in communication.
3.According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson
A.Generous.　　　　B.Modest.　　　　C.Open-minded.　　　　D.Independent.
4.What is the best title of this text
A.The Pioneering “Ant Man”　　　　B.Discoveries in Evolutionary Biology
C.A Leading Figure in Popular Science　　　　D.The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize Winner

(2024广东广雅中学期中)
Faced with a declining population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking boxes. Model-T has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in its hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated robots, because they don't require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain. And their easy-to-use controls require little training. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart, believes that this will enable the chain to recruit workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting rapidly through the experiments, it is not quite ready to enter the workforce. Besides being a lot slower than humans, it is also only able to lift packaged items, and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables. The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster, more skillful Model-T robot within the next two years. They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
5.What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text
A.It works much faster than humans.
B.It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C.It can be operated from a distance.
D.It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
6.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.The low price of Model-T.　　　　B.The easiness to operate Model-T.
C.The low-level programming of Model-T.　　　　D.The strict training in maintaining Model-T.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Model-T is now being massively produced.
B.Japan's workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C.The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D.Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
8.In which section of a website can we read this text
A.Technology.　　　　B.Economy.　　　　C.Lifestyle.　　　　D.Environment.

◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了被誉为“蚁人”的美国生物学家爱德华·威尔逊的生平事迹及其主要科学贡献。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.(威尔逊在对森林和野生生物的探索中长大。这些冒险经历中的一次让他部分失明,但它们也激发了他对蚂蚁及其社会结构的终生着迷。)”可知,促成威尔逊对蚂蚁的热情的是“these adventures”,即在大自然中度过的童年经历。故选D。
2.C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In 1978, his ideas of the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him his first Pulitzer Prize in 1979.”可知,威尔逊的第一本获得普利策奖的书是关于生物学和人类文化之间的关系的。故选C。
3.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the polite biologist remained down to earth”及“Professor Wilson really listened to and engaged with whomever he was interacting with”可推断出,威尔逊很谦虚,故选B。
4.A　主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据第一段中“Edward O. Wilson, known as ‘ant man’, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama.”及最后一段中“Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 30 books.”可知,本文讲述了被誉为“蚁人”的美国生物学家爱德华·威尔逊的生平事迹及其主要科学贡献,A项“先锋‘蚁人’”最适合作本文标题。

◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本发明的一款名为“Model-T”的机器人,它拥有更大的移动范围,使其成为便利店和杂货店的理想选择。本文介绍了这种机器人的操作方式及其未来可能应用的领域。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human ‘pilots’ wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves”可知, Model-T机器人由戴着虚拟现实视图器和特殊手套的人类“飞行员”在远处操作。因此Model-T的特点之一是可以远距离操作,故选C。
6.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“And their easy-to-use controls require little training.”可知,它们易于操作的操纵装置不需要多少培训。这样连锁店就能够招聘通常不在店内工作的员工。因此画线词this指代的是“Model-T易于操作的特点”,故选B。
7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.”可推知,在未来Model-T可能有更广泛的应用。故选D。
8.A　推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了日本发明的一款名为“Model-T”的机器人的操作方式及其未来可能应用的领域。因此本文可能选自网站的“科技”部分。故选A。
【高频词汇】　1.(be) faced with 面对……,面临……
2.declining adj.下滑的;衰退的　3.turn to...for help 向……寻求帮助　4.carry out 执行;实施　5.repetitive adj.重复的　6.item n.一件商品(或物品)　7.in charge of 负责　8.recruit v.招聘;招募
【差距词汇】　stack v.摞起
长难句
原句　Model-T has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
分析　本句为主从复合句。现在分词短语“making it ideal...stores”作结果状语,表示“自然而然的结果”;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词convenience and grocery stores。
译文　Model-T拥有更广泛的移动范围,能够夹持、拾取并放置几种不同形状和大小的物体到不同的位置,这使其非常适合便利店和杂货店,这些商店销售种类繁多的商品。
