2.(2024秋 石家庄期末) Look at this robot in the picture.What do you think it is for?
Scientists in China have developed the special robot to help visually impaired people (视障人士).It has six legs and can act as a "guide dog" for people who can't see.
In China,there are over 17 million visually impaired people,but there are only about 400 real guide dogs to help them.It is very hard and expensive to train guide dogs,so most visually impaired people don't have one.
The new robot can help solve the problem.It can do many things.For example,it can know what the person is saying and act quickly;it can avoid obstacles (障碍物) and find the right way to go.What's more,the robot can be used as a helper in the home and call for help if needed.
To make the robot work well,the scientists gave it many senses (感觉).It can see,hear,speak and feel.In this way,the robot can know what the person wants to do and work together with him.The robot's six legs also make it more stable (稳定的) than other robot with just four legs.
Li Fei,a visually impaired woman,tried out the robot during a test.She said that when guided her,she could walk straighter than she did on her own.The developers have already got orders for 20 of the robots.Soon they could help many visually impaired people in China.

3.(2024秋 南昌期末) If you are reading this now,it is because these words are printed on this page.Could this happen 2,000 years ago?Well,you could have read some words but the words weren't printed by a machine on paper.Let's get close to movable﹣type printing.
Inventor: Bi Sheng
Appearing Time: Around 1,000 years ago
Material: Clay
How to work: Make the clay into small squares (方块). Carve (刻) single character on them. Burn them hard with fire,then paint ink. Move freely to form different vocabularies or sentences. Lay down a piece of paper,and a printed sheet was created.
Now,we send emails,texts and photos to each other.We can download books,read on phones and computers.Ideas and knowledge are spreading faster than any other time in history and the screen is replacing (代替) the page for many people,but there is still no denying (否认) the value of movable type.
(1)Choose the picture that shows movable﹣type printing.
A.
B.
C.
D.

4.(2024秋 阳西县期末) Some days,don't you think,"Wouldn't it be nice if the laundry(洗衣) would just do itself?" Self﹣cleaning clothes may sound crazy.But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!
A team at RMIT University in Australia found a way to put special nanostructures(纳米结构材料) into clothing.They can help clean the clothes.When sunlight hits the nanostructures,they break down the dirty things on your clothes.
The nanostructures don't break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down.The researchers cover the clothing in a solution(溶液) made of silver and copper(铜) nanostructures.All it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new.So if you want to wash clothes after eating hotpot,you can step outside for a walk,and it will be clean by the time you go inside.It not only makes your life easier,but it can also be good for the environment.A laundry uses about 25 gallons of water.Water is very important,so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment.
But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done."There's more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines,"said Dr.Rajesh
Ramanathan,"but this is a strong foundation(基础)."
(1)What is the underlined word"They"in paragraph 2 about?
A.Special nanostructures.

C.Universities.
D.Researchers.
(2)Why can the clothing with the nanostructures get clean?
A.Because there is cotton in the clothing.
B.Because the sunlight can break down the nanostructures.
C.Because silver and copper can get the dirty things off the clothing.
D.Because the nanostructures can break down the dirty things when sunlight hits them.
(3)What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.How to make self﹣cleaning clothes.
B.How the self﹣cleaning clothes work.
C.Advantages of the self﹣cleaning clothes.
D.Prices of making self﹣cleaning clothes.
(4)We can learn from the passage that .
A.the self﹣cleaning clothes can get clean in just a few seconds
B.self﹣cleaning clothes help protect the environment
C.we can buy self﹣cleaning clothes on the market now
D.it's time to throw out our washing machines
(5)Which can be the best title for this passage?

B.Difficulties in Clothes Cleaning
C.Steps to Clean Your Clothes
D.Washing Clothes by Yourself
5.(2024秋 武昌区期末) Believe it or not,we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean.Since 1969,a total of 12 people have walked on the moon,but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench's deepest point.As we all know,it's very challenging to explore Qomolangma,the Sahara Desert,and the Amazon Rainforest.However,the Mariana Trench's conditions and depth of about 11,000 meters make it the most difficult to explore.Even more shocking﹣Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface,95% of it is unexplored.
Historically,people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades.Also,to early people,the ocean was a scary place,full of dangerous creatures.They thought that,the deep ocean was dark and lifeless.Furthermore,cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration,too.Diving into the Mariana Trench,for example,would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you.
However,the ocean influences everyone in lots of things,from the air we breathe,the food we eat,transportation,medicine,to weather and climate.And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil,gas and so on.Therefore,ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times.
In recent years,thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇),robots and cameras,humans have been able to explore the deeper sea.On November 17th,2024,China made a huge breakthrough in deep﹣sea exploration with its "Mengxiang" ship.With the world's top drilling system (钻探系统),this amazing ship can reach up to 11,000 meters below the sea surface,allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth.
The "Mengxiang" ship is the pride of our nation,pushing the limits of what we know and can achieve.Let's see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future!

Show the power of friction Interleave(交错的)the page of two piles of sticky notes,say 40 interleaved pages,and they will produce opposite force which is called friction.How much can the friction produced by the interleaved pages support?Actually,it can support up to 60 pounds!That's amazing,right?This shows that friction can create a very strong power.
Boil water in a paper cup Put water in a paper cup and place it over a candle.The water will boil!During boiling,the temperature of the water remains at around 100°C because the energy taken in by the water is used to change its state rather than increase its temperature.It means that while the water is boiling,it stops the paper cup from reaching its burning point.So the paper cup does not burn as long as there is enough water to take in the heat.

When we dream about the future,many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars.We could fly at 480 km per hour,avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However,if too many flying cars are in the air,there will be trouble with traffic control.
3 D printing is another new technology for the future.3 D printers are already used to make life﹣size models of car parts(部件),and man﹣made body parts,like ears.As we move into the future,3 D 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 make a robot suit (套装).This is an electronic suit.It allows people to lift heavy things 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.
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,we can certainly dream of a world.In this world,technology makes people's life easier and safer,and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time.However,it hasn'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 WeWalk.The smart stick uses built —in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warm about possible dangers.It helps blind people in navigating (导航) around their environment.It makes their travel much easier.The stick is priced at around$500.It is half the price of some smart phones.Most people can afford it.This invention is going to change the life of the blind.
Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face.That is because he is blind himself.He decided to use his knowledge of technology to invent 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 a 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 WeWalk," he said, "I believe the life of the blind will be much easier and safer."

C.WeWalk makes it safer and easier for the blind to travel.
D.Flying cars are more useful than WeWalk.
(3)Why can Kursat understand the blind's difficulties?
A.Because he has knowledge.
B.Because he invents WeWalk.
C.Because he is blind,too.
D.Because he treats the blind with kindness.
(4)Which of the following can best describe Kursat?

When we get old,we may forget many things from the past. (1) .
Sarah Sauve,a music scientist at the University of Lincoln in the UK,did a study on this.She invited 121 people to take part in it.They were between 18 and 86 years old.Sarah first asked them to listen to three musical clips(片段).(2) They needed to make a note whenever they heard the same clips at the concert.
To her surprise,the older people were just as good at remembering the clips as the younger ones were."(3) When we listen to music,the amygdala(杏仁体) in our brain"lights up'.This makes our brain think of music as something important.Other parts of the brain also work to keep this 'important' information.So our memory of the music can last for a long time,"Sarah says.(4) Doctors may use this to treat illnesses that hurt people's memory.Music may help these people remember things.
(5) As we all know,music has the power to make us excited or relaxed.Experts believe music can make people,even babies,more creative,smarter and happier.Some experts suggest playing slow music to help us pay attention when we study.It's said music can also improve listening skills and language abilities.
A.In her eyes,the result is useful. B Then,she told them to go to a concert. C.But music will probably stay with us forever. D.We often remember better when we are young. E.Besides this,music can help people in other ways. F.This shows our musical memory doesn't change as we grow old.

14.(2024秋 祁县期末) Some people find that when the temperature goes down,so do their spirits.Those people sometimes feel sad for no reason.This is the winter blues(忧郁).Here are some ways for you to beat the winter blues.
A.Ask for Help B.Reduce Stress C.Eat Healthy Food D.Get Out in the Sun E.Do Some Exercise
(1)
Some experts say that winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in the winter than we do in other seasons.Getting more sunlight each day can help you feel better.
(2)
Taking a walk or doing some exercise will make chemicals called endorphins(内啡肽) in your body.Endorphins are natural"feel good"chemicals.
(3)
Avoid having too much sugar.If you prefer sweet food,like cookies or candy,it may be a sign that you need more protein,like meat,chicken or fish.
(4)
Cut back if you have too many things to do.Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself.Get some rest.Don't be so busy that you get run﹣down.
(5)
If you feel sad all the time and the feeling won't go away,you may have a bigger problem than the winter blues.Talk to a friend you trust,or get help from a doctor.
15.(2024秋 青白江区期末) Do you enjoy traveling around?If you want to travel from New York to Beijing,the flight(航班) will take you more than 13 hours.Luckily enough,in the future,the journey might take only two hours.
At present,a company(公司) is developing something called ET3,which stands for the "Evacuated Tube Transport(真空管运输) Technology".How does it work?The tube is only a few meters wide and capsules(密闭舱) move through it.Each capsule can hold up to six people.For international travel,the capsules can reach speeds of about 6,500 kilometers per hour.
Then you might wonder, "How is it possible for these capsules to travel at such high speeds?" Because there isn't any air inside the tube.Moreover,each capsule weighs only 183 kilograms.
There are also other good sides of ET3.Since it runs on electricity,it is quite clean.Besides,it is much quieter than airplanes or cars.Lastly,the ET3 system,including the tube and capsules,doesn't require a large number of building materials.
Of course,the ET3 system still has a really long way to go.On the one hand,people have to spend too much money building and operating(运行) it.On the other hand,great technological improvements are still required to make sure of the normal operation of ET3.

5.(2024秋 武昌区期末) Believe it or not,we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean.Since 1969,a total of 12 people have walked on the moon,but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench's deepest point.As we all know,it's very challenging to explore Qomolangma,the Sahara Desert,and the Amazon Rainforest.However,the Mariana Trench's conditions and depth of about 11,000 meters make it the most difficult to explore.Even more shocking﹣Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface,95% of it is unexplored.
Historically,people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades.Also,to early people,the ocean was a scary place,full of dangerous creatures.They thought that,the deep ocean was dark and lifeless.Furthermore,cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration,too.Diving into the Mariana Trench,for example,would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you.
However,the ocean influences everyone in lots of things,from the air we breathe,the food we eat,transportation,medicine,to weather and climate.And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil,gas and so on.Therefore,ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times.
In recent years,thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇),robots and cameras,humans have been able to explore the deeper sea.On November 17th,2024,China made a huge breakthrough in deep﹣sea exploration with its "Mengxiang" ship.With the world's top drilling system (钻探系统),this amazing ship can reach up to 11,000 meters below the sea surface,allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth.
