My love of building things began when I was a kid. It wasn’t until I 1 about Thomas Edison, though, that I really became excited about inventing.
When I was in fourth grade, our teacher gave us a 2 . We had to write to a company and learn about the products it made. Each student would then give a report in front of the class. I 3 the Thomas A．Edison Company.
Soon 4 I wrote to the company, our postman, sent a package to me. It contained (包含) a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I 5 reading and rereading about his inventions! The ones that 6 me most were movies, recorded sound, and the electric light. Edison became my 7 .
My dad noticed my interest 8 inventing and he encouraged me. He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and, finally, into new things.
Together, my dad and I repaired radios and televisions. Once, I made a 9 to adjust (调整) the brakes (刹车片) of our car. This surprised my dad so much. Later, we found a similar tool in a store. That’s when I learnt that 10 inventors often invent similar things. It is not 11 for this to happen. I also learnt that not all great ideas work. 12 is a common part of the inventing process.
As my father and I worked together, I began to 13 that my dad was quite an inventor himself. 14 guiding hands, together with my interest in inventing, led me to become an engineer and inventor. But I am 15 to Thomas Edison, too, for first lighting that bulb (电灯泡) inside me.

A
The last time you went to buy a coffee or a Coke, what kind of cup did it come in
In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup. Each cup has a QR code (二维码). More than 60 special bins have been set up around the city to collect these cups. Workers will come later to clean them and send them back to shops for reuse, reported CBS News.
The city-wide project is the first of its kind in the US. It aims to stop the use of disposable (一次性的) cups, which have been around since the early 1900s. Before the invention of disposable cups, people shared wooden or metal (金属的) cups for drinking. Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌). So he invented a disposable “Health Cup” made of paper in 1907. It quickly caught on, especially after the serious Spanish flu in 1918.
Disposable cups are common. Today’s disposable cups also have polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) in them. This type of plastic helps keep the drinks warm. However, it takes about 500 years to completely break up. Every year, people in the US throw away 50 billion single-use cups, according to The Guardian. This is bad for our planet. For example, polystyrene turns into small pieces with time. Animals may eat them and get hurt.
Since its start on Aug 1, the purple cup project in Petaluma has received wide attention. More than 30 businesses have joined in, including Starbucks and Coca-Cola. They are tracing (追踪) the QR codes on the cups to see how many of them are being reused. The project will end in November. What comes next depends on how it goes, reported The Guardian.
16．What is the project in Petaluma mainly about
A．Adding QR codes to disposable cups.
B．Setting up special bins for paper cups.
C．Producing all paper cups in purple.
D．Serving to-go drinks in reusable cups.
17．Why did Lawrence Luellen invent the disposable “Health Cup”
A．To prevent the spread of germs. B．To save wood and metal resources.
C．To remind people to drink healthy drinks. D．To make people’s lives more convenient.
18．How many single-use cups do Americans throw away each year
A．3 billion. B．50 billion. C．100 billion. D．200 billion.
19．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．Disposable cups are made from various materials.
B．Disposable cups have many advantages.
C．Disposable cups cause environmental problems.
D．Disposable cups won’t harm our health.
20．What can we infer about the project from the passage
A．The project is a total success. B．Its results are yet to be seen.
C．People don’t fully support it. D．More cities will join it in the future.
B
It is widely known that China has the most advanced (先进的) high-speed railway network in the world. Now, the country is breaking its own speed record with CR450.
CR450 can travel at 400 kilometers per hour on average, with a top speed hitting 453km/h. Before this, the fastest high-speed train operating in a rail network in the world is China’s CR400, which runs at 350km/h on average.
Once put into use, for example, the CR450 will shorten the travel time from Beijing to Shanghai to just about two and a half hours, which takes at least four and a half hours at the moment.
“The key is not to make the train run fast but to have it brake accurately (精准地) and steadily (平稳地),” Zhao Hongwei of the China Academy of Railway Sciences told CCTV News. The standard is that the CR450 should have the same brake distance as the CR400, which is 6,500 meters, even though it travels a lot faster. It can also start braking more quickly, taking just 1.7 seconds compared to the 2.3 seconds needed for the CR400.
The engineers did lots of tests with the brakes to make the system better. In the tests, the brake disc (制动盘) got really hot, reaching temperatures of up to 700℃. Its color changed from black to red. The changes were then recorded. All the data were saved in a smart system to make a digital model of the brake system for calculations.
Apart from having a better braking system, the CR450 has the same noise level as the CR400. Moreover, it is 12 percent lighter and 20 percent less energy-consuming, according to CCTV News. With all its advantages, people are getting excited about the train’s debut, which is planned to be on show this year.
21．According to Zhao Hongwei, what is “the key” to CR450
A．Increasing the train’s speed. B．Making it brake accurately and steadily.
C．Having shorter braking distance. D．Starting to brake in a shorter time.
22．Compared to the CR400, the braking time of the CR450 ________.
A．is 0.6 seconds faster B．is 0.6 seconds slower
C．is the same D．is 1 second faster
23．What do the underlined word “debut” mean in the last Paragraph
A．发表 B．销售 C．亮相 D．试验
24．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How engineers cooled down the brake disc in a test.
B．What engineers did to improve the brake system.
C．How a digital model was used for calculations.
D．What differences the CR400 and CR450 have in their brake systems.
25．Which of the following is the structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…)
A． B．
C． D．
C
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we kept on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper
So how can we save paper We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
26．Marco Polo ________ when he was in China.
A．discovered that Cai Lun invented paper B．learned to make paper
C．saw many wonderful things D．read a lot of books
27．People in western countries first use paper money in the ________ century.
A．17th B．15th C．13th D．7th
28．About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.
A．1,700 B．2,000 C．2,800 D．4,800
29．Which of the following is NOT a way of saving paper
A．To use both sides of every piece of paper. B．To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D．To grow more trees.
30．Which of the following is NOT TRUE
A．If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.
B．The Chinese people used paper money much earlier than western people.
C．About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper.
D．It’s never too late to plant new trees for paper.

When it comes to taking notes, what do you think is the best way: using a pen or typing on a computer keyboard
As digital devices (数码设备) have played a main role in society. “Keyboard activity is now often used for early handwriting,” a new study shows. 31 “Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” says Audrey van der Meer, the new study’s leader. However, she believes that young children should learn to manage a keyboard. 32
She notes that although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen activates (激活) more areas of our brain than a keyboard does. 33 So that we can improve learning—and probably remember more—by handwriting our class notes.
When we write, our brain needs to think about and bring back memories of the shape of each letter. 34 And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to write the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain. Along the way, these processes appear to open the brain up for learning. She points out that taking notes by hand activates “visual (视觉) note-taking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down.
35 In fact, it points out that computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in many modern classrooms. Keyboarding also can be especially helpful for students with certain special needs, such as if they can’t use their hands smoothly.
But nearly all students will be improved by learning handwriting and drawing at an early age, the researchers now conclude.
A．She worried that children would forget how to write.
B．The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
C．And they should learn to write by hand successfully as well.
D．We also need to use our eyes to watch closely what we’re writing.
E．On the other hand, this study doesn’t ask people to avoid digital devices.
F．This is because writing needs complicated (复杂) movements that activate more areas of the brain.
三、选词填空
if learn what we so afraid advise note progress by proud many
As we all know, English is an important subject in the middle school. Everyone knows that we must 36 English well at school, but some students don’t know how to learn it well. Here is some 37 that may help you with your English.

The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until we get it right. Learning English of course needs practice. Don’t let a little fear stop us from getting 41 we want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take 42 in English, put English books around our rooms, listen to English radios, watch English news and TV programs. The 43 English materials we have around us, the faster we will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun. However, 44 doing exercises and taking tests, we can really improve our English. If we never take tests, we will never know how much 45 we have made.
I believe with these methods, we will improve our ability in learning English well.

Developed by US company Open AI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create instructions for cooking a certain food, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in a large amount of Internet text to help users get human-like text.”
Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training. It uses stronger software (软件) and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will correct itself. “It’s a totally different chatbot,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University told Tianjin Daily. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as a university student. That’s why it shocked the world.”
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or it doesn’t give correct information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an essay (论文), it “gave out many examples which other writers actually hadn’t mentioned at all”, he told The Guardian. Since the robot is trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up biases (偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.
46．ChatGPT can be used to write stories, create instructions for cooking a certain food, and answer questions.
47．The differences between ChatGPT and other chatbots are that ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training and stronger software and hardware by itself.
48．ChatGPT shocked the world because the knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as .
49．The big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or gives .
50．What do you think of ChatGPT
