A team from Shenzhen Bao’ an High School has invented a medicine box to meet the needs of the people with eye problems. So far, the medicine box has won many national prizes.
According to the school, 12 students took part in the development and design(设计) of the box. From market research, box design, to app development, the project was completed by the students with the help of their teacher, Zheng Naihao.
The idea of the medicine box came from a field visit. Once Zheng and his students visited a massage(按摩) shop near the school during their lunch break. Some workers there were blind people. After the visit, the students began to pay attention to the lives of the blind. They found blind people could only tell different medicines by touching. Sometimes it could be difficult to tell the differences between those small pills (药丸). Then they decided to try designing a product to help reduce(减少) the risk of taking wrong medicines for these people.
Developing a perfect product was not easy. The team had come up with many ideas, including medicine cups. Some students even thought of using AI, but the idea didn't work because of too many difficulties. Later, the team held discussions for nearly three months and finally decided to develop a medicine box using speech recognition(语音识别)technology.
To solve different problems in the development process, the team members used their free time to study on the box. After more than half a year of learning and improvement, the team created the first medicine box in December. Now the students are working hard to improve the product and bring it to market as soon as possible.

Inventions fill our life with all comforts that were unimaginable even a few years ago. Electricity, transportation mediums, medical services, telephone, television, Internet ——everything is because of the development of science and has successfully made our lives easier.
One of the earliest inventions was fire. It allowed early humans to cook food and stay warm during cold nights. As time passed, people created new tools such as the wheel that made farming more efficient.
During the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) in the 19th century, machines were developed, and that changed the face of industry forever. The invention of steam(蒸汽) power led to new forms of transportation such as trains and ships. Soon, factories appeared all over the world.
In the 20th century, electricity changed our lives once again. Inventions like light bulbs, telephones, and radios became commonplace in households worldwide. Later on, computers were invented to help us deal with information at a high speed.
Today's inventions like smartphones, electric cars and more recently robots are everywhere. They have revolutionized(革命性改变) communication and made it easier for us to get information quickly from anywhere in the world.
Inventions not only help us in our daily lives but also have wide influences on society as a whole. Medicine and medical technology have made us live longer while space exploration has made us learn about more knowledge of the universe we live in.
Technology continues to develop rapidly with new discoveries every day. Though there is no telling what new inventions will come next, we believe that there will be more new ideas and inventions to create a better world.

Fan Shenghua, 64, is one of the inheritors(传承人) of the Longjing tea roasting technique(工艺). His hands tell you everything —— they' re thick, rough, and full of calluses(老茧), a reminder of more than 40 years of hard work. “You have to touch the leaves with your hands to see how much water should be removed(移除),” Fan said. “If
too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter(味苦的).”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only helps to produce high-quality(高品质) tea, but also is an important part of Chinese tea culture. “Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. Only by hand can we make the best of them. It's like making a work of art,” Fan said.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It's easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats(飘浮) longer in water and tastes bitter.”
When President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea leaves. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he felt the tea leaves roast. Xi later said, “The things made with two hands cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan Shenghua's love for Longjing tea roasting has made many people curious about this traditional technique. He often holds events to help spread this traditional tea culture.
1. Will the tea taste bitter with too much water in the tea leaves
2. What are Longjing tea leaves famous for
3. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage Explain it.
4. What should Fan do in those events to spread this traditional tea culture Give some advice.(at least30 words)

①January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-Rl.
② This smart program can solve math problems, write code(代码), and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million(1/70 of OpenAI's cost) and used 2,048computer chips(芯片) for two months to make it. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
③DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice math. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1improves by itself. In a global math test, it got 79.8% right, a little higher than OpenAI's model. A simple version(版本) of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
④DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19, 000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even the top scientist of Meta(a famous U. S. tech company) said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
⑤U. S. tech companies are worried. Meta planned to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts said China was catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, confirming that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
⑥As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AIto be a friend, not something only rich people can use. ” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.
( ) 1. What can we learn about DeepSeek-R1from Paragraph 3
A. It needs programmers to fix mistakes.
B. It becomes better through practice.
C. It copies answers from other AIs.
D. It only works with expensive tools.
( ) 2. Why did Meta plan to spend more money on AI research
A. To help Chinese companies.
B. To build more computer chips.
C. To compete with DeepSeek-R1.
D. To change the world.

Ⅳ读写结合。
White Cane ( 拐杖) Safety Day falls on October 15 every year. The festival was set up for people with poor sight(视力). Now, guide dogs also help them. In China, there are more than 17million poor-sighted people, but only about 400guide dogs. Luckily, help will come soon from a robot guide dog.
The robot is named Xiaojiao. It was developed by a team of scientists at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The robot is about the size of an English bulldog, but a little wider. It has six legs and walks very stably(稳定地).
Xiaojiao uses AI to plan routes(路线) and recognize(识别) traffic lights. It can remember routes once it learns them. The robot can walk up to three meters every second. A cane is connected to its body. Its owner can push the cane forward to make the robot go faster. When the owner pulls the cane back, the robot slows down.
Xiaojiao can recognize words, so it can listen to and talk to its owner. It can reply to the person in one second. Also it gets the words right 90 percent of the time.
Since Xiaojiao is a robot dog, it may be allowed to go into more places than real dogs. And unlike real dogs, Xiaojiao saves time and money for users because people don't need to raise or train it. What's more, the scientists will produce this robot in large numbers, so the price will be lower, said Gao Feng. He is the head of the team. They will produce a number of trial(测试) robot dogs by the end of this year.
根据语篇与任务要求,在空格处填上适当的短语或句子。

①The first half of the year 2024 has seen a lot of new products, such as smartphones with new CPUs and self-driving cars. We, however, should know that these products aren't inventions with new technology. They are just things using old technology which appeared long ago: the first CPU was produced in the 1960s and even the technology of self-driving is over 50 years old. It's time for us to face the cold fact that the creation of new technology is coming to a halt(停滞).
②In fact, there hasn't been much new human technology since the 1980s. And the reason for the difficulties in technological creation is simple: the easy creations have already been made, and now the hard ones are still on the way.
③For example, in the early 19th century, Samul Morse invented the telegram(电报) on his own within weeks. However, when it comes to the 20th century, a scientific breakthrough(突破) like nuclear power plants(核电站), took more top scientists many years to make. That leads to the slowing-down and even the halt of new technological creations.
④ ▲ . Two serious problems could be waiting for us. One is that the human population may be forced to stop growing, because limited(有限的) land on the earth can only produce limited food. Unless new technology appears to help double the food production, we can't afford the ever-growth of the population.
⑤Another is that traveling freely among the stars may never come true. As we know, this kind of travel needs 85% of lightspeed or higher. With our present technology, rockets today can only fly at 1.5% of lightspeed, which stops us from exploring the outer space.
⑥So how can we turn this dark and hopeless future into a bright one Talented young inventors are using AI to put together the knowledge of countless scientists. Brave researchers on biology are working on super brains, which may help humans have much better memories and thinking abilities. Actually, we all should be responsible(有责任的) for the scientific breakthrough. Only through the efforts of all us humans can we have a bright future.
( )1.How does the writer show it's harder to make new creations now in Paragraph 3
A. By comparing facts. B. By listing numbers.
C. By telling stories. D. By asking questions.
( ) 2. Which is the best sentence to be put in the ▲
A. Human population may be badly influenced by the halt.
B. The result of technological halt can be quite worrying.
C. Technological halt could have both good and bad results on us.
D. New technology will be brought to a bright future.
( ) 3. What can we infer from the passage
A. Smartphones are inventions with new technology.
B. Rockets in the future will be able to fly at 85% of lightspeed.
C. It's us humans' duty to realize the science breakthrough.
D. AI and research on biology may lead new technology to appear.
( )4. What's the best structure for this passage
Ⅲ语篇研读。
Big data(大数据) is many sets of information that are put together to be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers in the data. We can find different kinds of information from many sources(来源) in big data, such as information from the Internet, schools, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like or where they often go.
Big data can be helpful in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. The information is then used to improve bus or train services. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra(额外的) help in class. The teachers can then give these students more help or support so they can perform better at panies use big data, too. It helps them understand their customers better. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby will get sick when he or she is born too early. Then they can take extra steps to protect that baby from certain illness.
However, big data can also bring trouble. For example, it can be used to predict which kinds of people may break the law or hurt others, although they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things That is because people write computer programs to understand big data. People usually think in their own way and then build a thinking model. The thinking model is used to look at and understand the data. Sometimes, the model is helpful to people or businesses. Other times, it can bring trouble to some groups of people.

【写作实践】I was greatly interested in a new kind of robot — Home Doctor.
Home Doctor looks like a lovely girl, and it is about 1. 2 meters tall. It is made of materials like glass and plastic. Home Doctor can do all kinds of housework and speak five different foreign languages. Home Doctor also has some new functions. It can not only give people helpful advice on health, but also treat common diseases at home. It will save people a lot of time, because they needn't go to the hospital every time they feel sick or get hurt. What's more, it can help take good care of the old people and babies at home.
I believe Home Doctor will make a great difference to people's life, and it will get popular with many families in the future.
