Inventions have always been driving forces behind human progress. From the car to the smartphone, each invention has greatly changed the way we live, work, and communicate. Here are three groundbreaking (开创性的) inventions that have greatly influenced the modern society.
The Internet
The invention of the Internet in the late 20th century stands as a milestone in human history. It was developed for military communication at first, but it soon developed into a global network connecting billions of people. The Internet has democratized (民主化的) information, making knowledge available to everyone with an Internet connection. It has improved the rise of e-business, making business reach customers all over the world. Besides, social media platforms have appeared, allowing people to connect, share experiences, and express themselves in a totally new way. However, with great convenience comes challenges. Things like cyberbullying (网络欺凌), privacy concerns, and the spread of misinformation have also become the biggest challenges.
Electric Vehicles (电动汽车)
As environmental pollution grows, electric vehicles (EVs) have been invented as a possible choice to take the place of traditional gasoline-powered cars. The use of EVs not only reduces the amount of greenhouse gas but also makes energy independence more possible by depending on our new resources like water and wind power. Governments around the world are encouraging the use of EVs. Although they have many benefits, electric cars face challenges such as limited driving range, longer recharge times, and the need for a good charging facilities (设施).
3D Printing
3D printing is a really cool technology that allows us to create three-dimensional (三维的) objects from digital designs. Imagine you have an idea fora toy car, a vase, or even a part of a machine. With 3D printing, you can turn this idea into a real object! It works like magic by layering (分层) materials, such as plastic or metal, one tiny bit after another, until the whole shape is formed.

Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen...
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits (堵塞). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地).
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
20．What is the benefit of self-driving cars
A．They allow disabled people to travel more freely.
B．They don’t need parking lots.
C．They cost less money to make and repair.
D．They react faster than humans in bad weather.
21．The underlined word “error” is similar to ________.
A．idea B．mind C．advice D．mistake
22．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A．Because their computers know all road accidents ahead of time.
B．Because their computers don’t “lose focus” like humans do.
C．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving.
D．Because there will be fewer traffic jams.
23．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How road accidents usually happen. B．How the computers in self-driving cars work.
C．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. D．The benefits of having a human driver.
24．What can we infer from the passage

Hello there, friends! My name is Jing, and I’m in Shanghai for the 7th China International Import Expo (国际进博会) in November, 2024. Today, I get to be among the first to try out the fastest taxis on the market at the Expo. These taxis can go as fast as flying! Let’s take a look.
These amazing vehicles (车辆) are called air taxis. They are electric vertical (垂直的) take-off and landing(EVTOL) airplane. This means they can take off and land straight up and down like a helicopter (直升飞机) but without the noise and pollution.
Since last year, the number of companies producing EVTOLs has grown from one to four. This shows how quickly the industry is developing. At this year’s Expo, the biggest exbibits include passenger taxis, which is a big improvement from just cargo planes (运货飞机) shown last year.
Some of these EVTOLs can even fly completely by themselves without needing a pilot (飞行员). These super-fast and futuristic air taxis are expected to be put into use in 2026. Today, however, I have the chance to experience a flight over the Huangpu River by wearing VR glasses. With EVTOLs, the travel time between two airports in Shanghai can be cut from a 1-hour drive to just a 7-minute flight.
I am really excited for the day when I can actually fly on an EVTOL!
30．What is an EVTOL
A．A helicopter. B．A cargo plane. C．An air taxi.
31．Which is NOT an example to show the rapid development of the EVTOL

Have you ever imagined flying over the city in a taxi that has no pilot Have you ever travelled by taking the plane developed by China itself Now they both might be good choices for you.
An air taxi, completed its first flight in Guangdong on February 27, 2024. It completed the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes, about 40 minutes faster than a regular taxi. Air taxis can fly without a pilot. They are controlled by a center that keeps an eye on the flight to make the passengers safe. What’s more, they can help improve the traffic conditions, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for passengers. Also, air taxis are a more eco-friendly choice than traditional cars, making the air clean and fresh. The C919, China’s first self-developed large passenger plane, took its first flight at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on May 5, 2017. With a length of 38.9 meters and a height of 11.95 meters, the C919 falls into the C-class of air plane. It is designed with bigger seats, providing passengers with a comfortable journey. Besides, it’s designedto reduce noise and carbon emissions (碳排放), so it is environmentally friendly. In May 2023, the C919 completed its first commercial (商业) flight, operated by China Eastern Airlines.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is greatly changing human society. However, with its rapid development come problems and questions.
Imagine this: If a driverless car gets into an accident, who should be responsible for it: the car maker or the passenger
Obviously, proper regulations (法规) and laws are needed to manage AI and its related problems. Shanghai in China has been making such efforts about this.
Shanghai passed a regulation on AI, marking the first of such an effort in China. “It clearly defined (阐明) the government’s and related parties’ responsibilities and management standards”, China Daily reported. Some bottom lines for AI products and services were also made clear.
A highlight of the regulation looks to set up an expert committee (委员会). The committee is responsible for making guidelines, discussing big AI ethics (准则) problems and more at home and abroad.
China introduced a set of guidelines to help with the governance (治理) over ethics in science and technology. The country is also calling for global effort. According to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, China has always committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind in the field of AI. The country said AI is a powerful technology that pushes forward global development and improves the well-being of all humankind. All countries should share responsibilities and work together on its governance.

①Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers away It seems to only happen in science fiction. However, a recent surgery done by doctors in Chengdu has shown the possibility in real life. Using a robotic technology, the doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote (远程的) surgery, modern healthcare has changed in a big way.
②AI played an important part in this surgery. By studying tons of medical data (数据), AI helps doctors plan the surgery, predict problems that could happen, and find the solutions.
③During the surgery, AI also tells the doctors the patient’s necessary information, like heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. If anything of the patient goes wrong, it can warn the medical team and suggest changes to the surgery plan.
④Another key role in this surgery was supercomputing technology. Remote surgeries need fast data transmission (传送), as even small delays (延迟) can be dangerous. Supercomputing can quickly deal with a lot of data, making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and that the doctors’ orders are followed at once. The two-way network delay in this surgery was only 40 milliseconds, thanks to powerful supercomputers.
⑤The robot used in this surgery does an excellent job. It has one arm and one hole, which makes the cut smaller, making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better. It also increases the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents.
⑥This kind of surgery is a huge excitement, especially for people in remote areas. It means that patients don’t have to travel far for good medical care, saving time and being treated in time.
⑦And for places with fewer doctors, this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors. This kind of surgery is important for improving healthcare everywhere.
43．How does the writer lead into AI-powered remote surgery
A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story.
C．By giving reasons. D．By listing numbers.
44．Which of the following question is answered in Paragraph 4
A．Where was the AI-powered remote surgery performed
B．Why does the surgery need the help of supercomputer
C．When is the best time for the supercomputer to deal with the data
D．How’s the normal computer different from the supercomputer
45．What can we infer about AI-powered remote surgery from the passage
A．No matter how far the place is, this kind of surgery can reach.
B．AI can warn the doctors if anything goes wrong with the patient.
C．The doctors in Lhasa might improve their skills through this kind of surgery.
D．The patient in Lhasa may get better a little slower through this kind of surgery.
46．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage
(①= Para.1 ②= Para.2 ③= Para.3 ④= Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 ⑥= Para.6 ⑦= Para.7)
A． B．

Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2022, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen...
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits (堵塞). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year more than 135 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more get hurt. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus like humans do.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would be difficult to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地).
It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
20．What is the benefit of self-driving cars
A．They allow disabled people to travel more freely.
B．They don’t need parking lots.

Hello there, friends! My name is Jing, and I’m in Shanghai for the 7th China International Import Expo (国际进博会) in November, 2024. Today, I get to be among the first to try out the fastest taxis on the market at the Expo. These taxis can go as fast as flying! Let’s take a look.
These amazing vehicles (车辆) are called air taxis. They are electric vertical (垂直的) take-off and landing(EVTOL) airplane. This means they can take off and land straight up and down like a helicopter (直升飞机) but without the noise and pollution.
Since last year, the number of companies producing EVTOLs has grown from one to four. This shows how quickly the industry is developing. At this year’s Expo, the biggest exbibits include passenger taxis, which is a big improvement from just cargo planes (运货飞机) shown last year.
Some of these EVTOLs can even fly completely by themselves without needing a pilot (飞行员). These super-fast and futuristic air taxis are expected to be put into use in 2026. Today, however, I have the chance to experience a flight over the Huangpu River by wearing VR glasses. With EVTOLs, the travel time between two airports in Shanghai can be cut from a 1-hour drive to just a 7-minute flight.
I am really excited for the day when I can actually fly on an EVTOL!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is greatly changing human society. However, with its rapid development come problems and questions.
Imagine this: If a driverless car gets into an accident, who should be responsible for it: the car maker or the passenger
Obviously, proper regulations (法规) and laws are needed to manage AI and its related problems. Shanghai in China has been making such efforts about this.
Shanghai passed a regulation on AI, marking the first of such an effort in China. “It clearly defined (阐明) the government’s and related parties’ responsibilities and management standards”, China Daily reported. Some bottom lines for AI products and services were also made clear.
A highlight of the regulation looks to set up an expert committee (委员会). The committee is responsible for making guidelines, discussing big AI ethics (准则) problems and more at home and abroad.
China introduced a set of guidelines to help with the governance (治理) over ethics in science and technology. The country is also calling for global effort. According to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, China has always committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind in the field of AI. The country said AI is a powerful technology that pushes forward global development and improves the well-being of all humankind. All countries should share responsibilities and work together on its governance.

①Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers away It seems to only happen in science fiction. However, a recent surgery done by doctors in Chengdu has shown the possibility in real life. Using a robotic technology, the doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote (远程的) surgery, modern healthcare has changed in a big way.
②AI played an important part in this surgery. By studying tons of medical data (数据), AI helps doctors plan the surgery, predict problems that could happen, and find the solutions.
③During the surgery, AI also tells the doctors the patient’s necessary information, like heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. If anything of the patient goes wrong, it can warn the medical team and suggest changes to the surgery plan.
④Another key role in this surgery was supercomputing technology. Remote surgeries need fast data transmission (传送), as even small delays (延迟) can be dangerous. Supercomputing can quickly deal with a lot of data, making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and that the doctors’ orders are followed at once. The two-way network delay in this surgery was only 40 milliseconds, thanks to powerful supercomputers.
⑤The robot used in this surgery does an excellent job. It has one arm and one hole, which makes the cut smaller, making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better. It also increases the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents.
⑥This kind of surgery is a huge excitement, especially for people in remote areas. It means that patients don’t have to travel far for good medical care, saving time and being treated in time.
⑦And for places with fewer doctors, this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors. This kind of surgery is important for improving healthcare everywhere.

This special suit is white with red stripes (条纹). The red stripes are like the ribbons from beautiful paintings in Dunhuang and they also look like rocket flames.
A video showed how the suit will keep astronauts safe on the moon. It can protect astronauts from the hot and cold on the moon and from moon dust. The suit has a control panel (控制面板) that is easy to use. It also has cameras to take pictures and videos.
The gloves are flexible (灵活的) and strong. The helmet has a special visor that stops bright light from hurting the astronaut’s eyes. The joints are designed for the low gravity on the moon. The whole suit is light, which is good for walking and working on the moon.
A scientist named Li Meng said they started making this suit in 2020. They wanted it to be light, small, and very safe. They have found new ways to make it better.
China has already made two other types of spacesuits. They have helped 17 astronauts do 17 jobs outside their spaceships. These jobs helped build and run China’s space station.
China plans to land people on the moon by 2030. Showing this new spacesuit is a big step towards that goal. It also shows China’s spacesuit technology (技术) is getting much better.
