FRANKLIN’S EXPERIMENT①： How Much Is True？
Benjamin Franklin’s famous experiment with lightning has
introduced generations② of children to science.[1]However， new
research suggests that the story may be fiction③ instead of④ fact.
[1]本句是主从复合句。其中that引导宾语从句；suggests在此处
意为“表明”，其后的宾语从句不需要用虚拟语气。
【读文清障】
①experiment n.（科学）实验
②generation n.一代人；同辈人
③fiction n.虚构的事，想象的事
④instead of 而不是；代替
[2]The well-known story is that the American Founding Father and
scientist flew a kite⑤ during a storm in 1752.At that time， there was
much interest in electricity⑥.[3]People wanted to know if lightning⑦ was
really produced by electricity or something else.Franklin was one of
them.He raised the kite with a piece of string⑧ tied to⑨ it.A metal⑩ key
was attached to the string.A flash of lightning hit the kite， and
electricity was conducted through the string to the key.Franklin then
touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock .This， he
said， proved that lightning was a form of electricity.
For many years， schools have taught the story of Franklin’s
lightning experiment.More than one generation of schoolchildren has been
amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the
truth.[4]Franklin， along with many other scientists，has inspired us
and taught us that scientific experiments are important in order to
establish the truth and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries
and inventions.
[2]本句是主从复合句。其中that引导表语从句。

However， neither the story nor the details of the experiment are
entirely true.[5]Although it has been proved that Franklin’s
experiment took place ， more than one scientist has questioned what
really happened.The detail about the string and the key is true.But
scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key， he would
certainly have died from the electric shock.
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to establish
the facts.Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on
Newton’s head and led him to come up with his theory of gravity
.[6]In fact， more than one account suggests that while Newton was
certainly inspired by a falling apple， there is no proof that it hit him on
the head.
Admittedly ， fiction is often more interesting than the truth.People
have been more inspired by Franklin’s spirit of scientific exploration
than by the facts themselves.[7]But in science， facts should be proved
by experiments and research， and we should not always believe
everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story.

【参考译文】
富兰克林的实验：有多少是真的？
本杰明·富兰克林关于闪电的著名实验已引领一代又一代的儿童
迈入科学世界。然而，新的研究显示，这个故事可能是虚构的，而并
非事实。
这一广为人知的故事讲述了这位美国的开国元勋和科学家在1752
年的一场暴风雨中放风筝的经历。那时，不少人对电感兴趣。人们想
知道闪电是否真的由电产生，还是另有源头。富兰克林就是其中之
一。他在风筝上系了一根细绳，把风筝放上天，细绳上绑着一把金属
钥匙。闪电击中风筝，电流通过绳子传导到钥匙上，富兰克林随即用
手指触碰钥匙，感受到了电击。他说，这一实验证明了闪电是电的一
种形式。
许多年来，富兰克林闪电实验的故事一直是学校的教学内容之
一。数代学生都叹服于富兰克林的勇气与追寻真理时采用的科学手
段。富兰克林与许多其他科学家激励并教导我们科学实验对于推定真
理与推动科学发现及发明而言都至关重要。
然而，不管是故事本身还是实验细节都并非完全属实。虽然已证
实富兰克林的这一实验确有其事，不少科学家还是对事实真相提出了
质疑。使用细绳和钥匙这一细节是真实的，但科学家们一致认为，如
果富兰克林真的碰到了钥匙，他必定会被电死。
科学家们常常对已被人们接受的观点提出质疑，以求证事实。一
些科学家甚至也怀疑过牛顿的故事：一个苹果掉下来砸中了牛顿的脑
袋，促使他提出了万有引力定律。事实上，不止一处资料显示，虽然
牛顿的灵感确实来源于一个掉落的苹果，但没有证据表明这个苹果恰
巧砸在了他的脑袋上。
诚然，虚构常常比事实更为有趣。人们更多是为富兰克林的科学
探索精神所激励，而非事实本身。但在科学领域，能被实验与研究所
证明的东西才算作事实，我们不应全盘相信我们读到或听到的事——
即使它是一个精彩的故事。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
NAO， the first robot able to show feelings， has been created by a
European research team.When NAO is sad， he lowers his head and looks
down.When he’s happy， he raises his arms for a hug.Nothing is out of
the ordinary， except that NAO is a robot.
“We’re modelling the first year of life，” says Lola Canamero，
a computer scientist at the University of Hertfordshire.“The feelings are
shown through physical gestures and body movements rather than facial or
verbal expressions.”
“In the future，” says the scientist， “robots are likely to act as
companions， provide support for old people，and help people shop
online.” In these situations， the display of emotions， will be important
in making the interaction more natural and comfortable.
NAO has been programmed to copy the emotional skills of a one-
year-old child.It can memorize faces， and knows the basic rules of good
and bad.Based on these it can decide how to react to what is going on.The
actions going with each feeling are pre-programmed， but NAO decides
for itself when to display them.
NAO is also programmed to have different personalities.A more
independent robot is less likely to call for help when exploring a room，
while a more fearful robot will show distress if it finds something in the
room that may be harmful.
Canamero’s team will take its emotional programming forward into
medical applications.Part of the project will look at ways to use robots in
hospitals to support the roles of doctors，nurses and parents.Children
might find that a small， friendly-looking robot that can understand their
emotional states makes them less anxious.“We want to explore different
roles — the robots will help the children to understand their treatment and
explain what they have to do.We want to help the children to control their
anxiety，” she says.

它的情感程序应用到医学领域。

1. According to the text， what do we know about NAO？（ ）
A. It displays different feelings in different situations.
B. It is able to imitate adults’ emotional displays.
C. It can remember people’s feelings.
D. It learns emotions from facial expressions.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的When NAO is sad， he
lowers his head and looks down.When he’s happy， he raises his
arms for a hug.可知，当NAO伤心时，它会低下头；当它开心时，
它会伸出手臂要求拥抱，这说明NAO能在不同情况下表达不同的
情绪。
2. What can we learn from the text？（ ）
A. Scientists worked on facial and spoken expressions to create NAO’s
emotions.
B. The time when NAO displays feelings has been pre-programmed.
C. Emotional programming is used in medicine production.
D. Robots with emotional skills can help children feel more comfortable.
解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Children might find that
a small， friendly-looking robot that can understand their emotional
states makes them less anxious.可知，如果孩子们有一个小的、友好
的又能够理解他们情感状态的机器人陪着的话，他们可能就不会那
么焦虑了，也就是说具有情感技能的机器人可以帮助孩子们感觉更
舒服。
3. What does the underlined word“distress” in Paragraph 5 probably
mean？（ ）
A. Courage. B. Anxiety.
C. Anger. D. Satisfaction.
解析： 词义猜测题。前面提到一个更独立的机器人在探索房间
时很少寻求帮助，是独立完成任务的。句中的while表示对比，由
此可以判断，后面是说一个胆怯的机器人如果在房间里发现可能有
害的东西时会表现出“焦虑”（的情绪）。
4. What is the text mainly about？（ ）
A. The relationship between humans and robots.
B. The roles that robots play in different fields.
C. The first robot able to show feelings.
D. The long history of robots.
解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一个
由欧洲研究团队发明的第一个能够表达感情的机器人NAO。

Charles Darwin was a very famous scientist who lived in the
1800s.His ideas about evolution （进化） completely changed the way
scientists understand the natural world.He recorded his ideas in notebooks
marked with letters of the alphabet （字母表）， which have been
considered extremely important for showing how he developed the
evolution.
The Cambridge University Library had several of Mr Darwin’s
notebooks.The two that were missing were kept in a small box， and were
last seen in 2000.In 2001， someone noticed that the box was
missing.Luckily， the library had taken pictures of the notebooks’
pages， so the information wasn’t completely lost.
In 2020， the library made a huge effort to find the
notebooks.Workers searched through the 10 million books and other things
in the library， but they didn’t find the notebooks.Finally， the library
asked people around the world to help look for the notebooks.They
officially reported the missing notebooks as stolen so that the police around
the world would search for them.
Nobody could ever have expected the way in which the notebooks
were returned recently： in a pink gift bag with a note that said
“Librarian， Happy Easter， X”.People at the library quickly
recognised the blue box that the notebooks had been stored in.Inside a
brown envelope they found the two missing notebooks， tightly wrapped
in plastic.After the police had examined the package， library workers
were able to open and carefully study the notebooks.They were pleased to
learn that the notebooks were in good shape.They hadn’t been damaged
and they weren’t missing any pages.
The timing of the return is perfect.The library was planning a show
called “Darwin in Conversation”， which is set to open in July.Now
the missing notebooks can be part of that show.

5. What did Darwin write in his notebooks？（ ）
A. Scientists’ ideas about society.
B. The stories of his family.
C. His thoughts of evolution.
D. The development of the alphabet.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的He recorded his ideas in
notebooks marked with ...for showing how he developed the
evolution.可知，该笔记本中标注的是他关于进化论的思想。
6. Why were the missing notebooks reported to have been stolen？
（ ）
A. Because the library wanted to turn to the police for help.
B. Because the library didn’t want to take on responsibility for the loss.
C. Because the library discovered a librarian stole the notebooks.

“In 2003， the Human Genome （基因组） Project made history
when it sequenced （测定序列） 92％ of the human genome. But for
nearly twenty years since， scientists have made efforts to translate the
remaining 8％. Now， a team of nearly 100 scientists from the Telomere-
to-Telomere （T2T） Consortium has uncovered the complete human
genome — the first time it’s been sequenced in its entirety，” the
researchers said.
“Having this complete information will allow us to better understand
how we form as an individual organism and how we vary not just between
other humans but other species，” Evan Eichler， a Howard Hughes
Medical Institute investigator at the University of Washington and the
research leader， said Thursday.
The new research introduces 400 million letters to the previously
sequenced DNA — an entire chromosome’s worth. The full genome will
allow scientists to analyze how DNA differs between people and whether
these genetic variations play a role in disease.
The research， published in the journal Science on Thursday， was
previously in preprint， allowing other teams to use the sequence in their
own studies.
Until now， it was unclear what these unknown genes coded.
“It turns out that these genes are incredibly important for
adaptation，” Eichler said.“They contain immune response genes that
help us to adapt and survive infections and plagues and viruses.They
contain genes that are very important in terms of predicting drug
response.”
“For now， it’s still too expensive and time-consuming for
everyone to sequence their own genome. But research is underway that
uses this genome to judge whether certain genetic differences are
connected with specific cancers. Knowing the genetic variations could
also allow doctors to better tailor treatments，” said Michael Schatz，
another researcher on the team and a professor of computer science and
biology at Johns Hopkins University.
Charles Rotimi， scientific director of the National Human Genome
Research Institute， said in a statement that this scientific achievement is
“moving us closer to individualized medicine for all humanity”. Rotimi
was not involved in the research.

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Hi everybody.Our group discussed the use of AI and finally agreed
that its advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
On the one hand， it goes without saying that AI has brought much
convenience and has been doing us a great favour in jobs requiring
accuracy and calculation.Plus， AI has such fantastic speed in collecting
data.On the other hand， AI is becoming too smart nowadays， concerns
arising.Some of us think that AI will be a threat to humans one
day.However， AI can be our best assistant as long as we develop it in the
right way.
That’s our opinion.Thank you.(共22张PPT)

The violin is one of the most popular instruments and it is still made
using traditional processes. However， that is not the only way to create
the instrument. In the latest innovation， AVIVA Young Artists Program is
3D printing low-cost， durable （耐用的） violins for children and adults
who want to learn how to play them.
It is no secret that violins are expensive to buy. It is possible to have
one violin that costs millions depending on how it is and who made it.
This can make it hard for many people to buy the instrument， especially
for beginners. However， AVIVA Young Artists Program is hoping to
change this.
The program started as an experiment to reach under-served
communities. And now it grows to be the Young Artists Program for
violinists worldwide. It “seeks not” only to connect people with music
worldwide but also to be innovative. 3D-printed violins are a key part of
that mission.
A 3D-printed violin not only works correctly but is also able to be
made at a of the cost of a traditional instrument. Considering
that low-cost beginner violins cost around $500， this is a significant price
reduction and will make these beautiful instruments accessible to more
people.

Mary Elizabeth Brown， director of the AVIVA Young Artists
Program， said， “Our goals are to explore the new sound world using
new materials， use the new technology in other fields， and make music
education continuable and accessible through the printing of more durable
instruments. The next step is to lower the costs of production while
making such instruments more widely available， especially in the
educational field.”

Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the
twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes and
chromosomes （染色体）.
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford， Connecticut.Her
family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908.Barbara was
an active child with interest in sports and music.She also developed an
interest in science.
She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca， New
York.Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to
receive training in genetics in 1921.Years later， she noted that few
college students desired to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany， the scientific study of
plants， at Cornell University.She completed her undergraduate studies in
1923.McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell
University.She completed a master’s degree in 1925.Two years later，
she finished all her requirements for a doctorate.
McClintock stayed at Cornell University after she completed her
education.She taught students botany.The 1930s was not a good time to
be a young scientist in the United States.The country was in the middle of
the Great Depression.Millions of Americans were unemployed.Male
scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in
demand.
An old friend from Cornell University， Marcus Morton Rhoades，
invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory.It was a research centre on Long Island， near
New York City.McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics
department.A short time later， she accepted a permanent position in the
laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without
having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s， her discoveries had had a significant effect on
everything from genetic engineering to cancer research.McClintock won
the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the
ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.She was the first
American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine.

在公共场所使用无线网络可能会泄
露我们的个人信息，本文告诉我们应该如何避免这方面的风险。
Public Wi-Fi exists almost everywhere， from coffee shops to the
hotels and airports you visit while travelling.Wi-Fi has made our lives
easier， but it also carries security risks to the personal information we
store on our laptops and smartphones.
There are basically two kinds of public Wi-Fi networks： the secured
and unsecured.An unsecured network can be connected to without any
type of security feature like a password.And a secured network generally
requires users to agree to certain legal terms， register an account， or
type in a password before they connect to the network.It may also require
a fee to gain access to the network.
Now let’s look at some dos and don’ts when we are using public
Wi-Fi.
Do connect to secured public networks if necessary.In the event that
you’re unable to connect to a secured network， using an unsecured
network is allowable temporarily if the connection requires some sort of
registration.
Don’t access personal bank accounts or sensitive personal data on
unsecured public networks.Even secured networks can be risky.Use your
best judgement if you must access these accounts through public Wi-Fi.
Don’t leave your laptop or smartphone unattended in a public
place.Even if you’re working on a secured Wi-Fi network， that won’t
stop someone from taking your things or looking at your devices.
Don’t shop online when using public Wi-Fi.Shopping online
requires personal information like bank accounts.So shopping isn’t
something you are supposed to do on an unsecured Wi-Fi network.
Do turn off automatic connectivity.Most smartphones and laptops
have automatic connectivity settings， which allow you to connect from
one hotspot to the next easily.This is a convenient feature， but it can also
connect your devices to networks you ordinarily would not use.To be on
the safe side， keep these settings off， especially when you’re
travelling in unfamiliar places.

The experiment is designed to prove whether air pressure really
exists.
At the beginning of the experiment， I prepared the materials，
including a boiled egg， a glass bottle whose neck is a bit smaller than the
egg and some hot water.With all the things prepared， the experiment
began.
First， I removed the shell of the egg.Then， I carefully poured
some hot water into the bottle， and shook the bottle gently.After a few
minutes， I poured out the hot water.Just at the same time， I quickly
placed the egg on top of the bottle.To my amazement， the egg squeezed
into the bottle at once.
After the experiment， I can draw the conclusion that air pressure
indeed exists， and it is very powerful.It is the force of the air that pushed
the egg into the bottle.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Born in 1918， in the little town of White Sulphur Springs， West
Virginia， Katherine Johnson was simply attracted by numbers.As a
child， she counted everything.She counted the steps to the road， the
steps up to the church， the number of dishes she washed ...By the time
she was 10 years old， she was a high school freshman， which was truly
amazing in a time when school for African-Americans normally stopped at
eighth grade.To fulfil her maths potential， her father drove his family
120 miles to Institute， West Virginia， where blacks could continue high
school education.Johnson’s excellent performance proved her father’s
decision was the right one：Katherine skipped grades （跳级） to
graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18.
In 1953， after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mum，
she began working for NASA， which began hiring women to measure
and calculate the results of wind tunnel （风洞） tests in 1935.In a time
before the electronic computers， these women were called the
“computer”.Even after NASA began using electronic computers， the
astronaut John Glenn requested that Katherine should personally recheck
the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.
She continued to work at NASA until 1986.Her calculations proved
momentous to the success of the Apollo moon-landing programme and the
United States’ journey into space.Her story was the basis for the 2016
film Hidden Figures.
Katherine Johnson， a great mathematician， physicist， space
scientist and the last “computer” that wore skirts， passed away on 24
February 2020.

Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
It’s a great pity that I had not put forth the amount of effort
required. I had spent too much time playing with my friends instead of
improving myself. I had let down my teacher， who was the kindest，
sweetest， and prettiest one I had ever known. She laughed often， and
never threatened any of us， yet she was able to “read” the children，
control the class， and teach effectively. Miss Pratt put a lot of herself
into her work. Every day near the close of school， she would read to
us， or even better， tell us stories about when she was a little girl. Most
importantly， she made us feel that she cared about us and that we were
important.
Because of a serious car accident when I was three and a half years
old， I had a scar （伤疤） below my nose that was the result of a torn
upper lip. Everything else had healed up without any after effects
physically， but my emotions remained scarred. Meanwhile， having
been called “Chief Running Nose” and “Scarface” by many
children， my confidence had suffered. Although my parents and relatives
referred to me as pretty， I did not see myself that way.
Focusing on my scar， I could not appreciate any redeeming features
（可取之处）. At the end of one school day， I remained in my
classroom， waiting for the arrival of my mother， who was coming to
take me to an appointment close to the school. Miss Pratt sat at her desk
with a fellow teacher and chatted.
I glanced at the clock and realized it was time to get ready to leave. I
put on my wool coat and hat. The teachers looked at my clothes and
seemed to admire it. I was able to read their lips a little and my ears
perked up to hear， “Who is she？ She is really cute.” My teacher Miss
Pratt answered， “I agree. Bernice is quite pretty.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“Pretty” caught my attention since it was almost my favourite
word.
About two months later， the final exam result was announced and
I got the first place.
参考范文：
“Pretty” caught my attention since it was almost my favourite
word. At that moment， I felt myself surrounded with a lot of warmth and
love. I knew teachers would never lie. It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot
of confidence to me. From that moment on， I made the decision to be
one of the top students in my class to improve myself. Whatever it took
and no matter how much time I would spend， I would try my best to
succeed.
About two months later， the final exam result was announced and I
got the first place. The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement，
the whole class cheered and clapped for me. For the first time I felt truly
good about myself and I knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt’s
praise. This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words.
Thank you so much， Miss Pratt！ What a great difference you have
made！ I am determined to be a caring teacher like you！(共96张PPT)

fine. Its service was very good. The in-flight movies were really cool but
there wasn’t much food， so I’m kind of hungry now！
W：Oh， you poor thing！ Well， it will be a long drive home， so why
don’t we get some breakfast around here first？ Look， there’s a
restaurant over there.
（Text 7）

（Text 9）
W：Well， before we decide we’re going to live in Weymouth， we
ought to have a look at the schools. The kids’ education is really
important.
M：I looked for some information at my office， and I took notes. There
are three middle schools in Weymouth： one state school and two private
schools.
W：How big are they？
M：Weymouth High School is the biggest， about 1，000 pupils. Their
classes are big， too. They have an average of thirty pupils to a class.
W：That’s a lot. I expect the private have less.
M：Yes， there are about 200 students at Carlton Abbey and 150 at St
Mary’s.They only have about twenty students to each class.
W：How many children go on to university every year in each school？
M：Well. Weymouth High School is very good， 50 percent of whose
pupils go on to university ... and Carlton Abbey even better， 70
percent. St Mary’s is not so good， only 8 percent.
W：Well， they certainly seem like quite good schools. But we’ll have
to find out more before we can decide.
（Text 10）
M：Good afternoon， everyone！ It’s my pleasure to share with you
my colourful weekend.
I used to live a life in my screen and hardly noticed what was around me.
I was always checking the time and thinking of “who’s going to text me
now？” My bedtime routine was usually centered on one thing — my
mobile phone. I looked through news websites and checked my emails.
When I woke up at midnight， I did the same thing. The problem with me
was that I felt anxious every night.
So when my friends invited me to the weekend camping without cell
service in the village， I thought this was exactly what I needed. Keeping
away from my phone for 48 hours changed my way of life. Without my
phone， I fell asleep listening to the songs of frogs and insects. In the
morning， I woke up energetically. Sitting by the river， riding a bike，
or singing old songs， I truly enjoyed what I was doing. I felt free without
my phone at the weekend camp， which changed me completely. I
listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me
to do.

Joseph Frederick Engelberger， the Father of Robotics， was born on
26 July 1925. He received his degree in Electric Engineering in 1949 from
Columbia University. He worked as an engineer in a company and then he
met George Devol at a party in 1956， two years after Devol had designed
and patented （获得专利权） an industrial robotic arm. However， the
company where Engelberger worked was closed in the year he met Devol.
Finding himself jobless but with a business partner and an idea，
Engelberger co-founded Unimation with Devol， creating the world’s
first robotics company. Over the next two decades， the Japanese took the
lead by investing heavily in robots to replace people performing certain
tasks. In Japan， Engelberger was widely recognized as a key player in
Japanese manufacturing quality and efficiency.
After observing his aging parents， Engelberger saw the robotics
automation could be used in the medical field. In 1984， Engelberger
introduced HelpMate and hoped to start a new industry for in-home
robots. He sold his first HelpMate to Danbury Hospital in 1988. The
medical robot was so successful that the hospital ended up purchasing
another， and within a decade， well over 100 hospitals worldwide
operated HelpMates.
Senator Joseph Lieberman delivered a speech in the US Senate in
praise and recognition of the inventor， calling HelpMate an example that
shows the federal investment in science and technology for patients can
lead to new products that create jobs for Americans and make for a better
quality of life.
Engelberger liked working. So even after he got into his 80s， he
remained active in the promotion and development of robots for use in
elder care.

An American company has developed a new technique （技术） to
make bread stay fresh for 60 days.
Scientists found that a kind of mould （霉菌） caused bread to go
bad. The new technique kills the mould and keeps the food for longer
time. This means there will be less waste of food in the world in future.
Food waste is a big problem in most developed countries. In the
US， an average family throws away 40％ of the food they buy， which
adds up to $165bn every year， about 330 million tons in weight. Bread
takes a larger part. In the UK， 32％ of the bread they buy is thrown away
as waste when they can still be eaten.
The bread usually goes mouldy in around 10 days， but the American
company says the new technique will keep the bread free from mould for
two months.
“We treated a piece of bread in a special machine. At 60 days it had
the same amount of mould as it was first made，” says Mr Stull， the
leader of the company.
Although there are a lot of bread makers interested in the new
technique， few customers like the idea. They say they don’t think a
piece of bread which lasts for 60 days tastes good.
“We’ll have to make our customers accept the idea. But it will take
some time，” says Mr Stull.

Many people think that the world is about to step into the fourth
industrial revolution. This time， machines can do a lot of work in the
charge of human beings， even better than human beings. In the future，
the world can be more efficient， but unemployment will become more
common.
It raises a troubling question for all of us — when will a machine be
able to do my job？ There are no certain answers， but some of the
world’s top artificial intelligence （AI） researchers are trying to find
out.
Katja Grace， a research associate at the University of Oxford’s
Future of Humanity Institute， and her colleagues have surveyed 352
scientists and compiled （汇编） their answers into predictions about how
long it may take for machines to outperform humans on various tasks.
The good news is that many of us will probably be safe in our jobs for
some time to come. The researchers predict there is a 50％ chance that
machines will be capable of taking over all human jobs in 120 years.
“One of the biggest surprises was the overall lateness of the
predictions，” says Grace. “I have expected the amazing progress in
machine learning in recent years， plus the fact that we were only talking
to machine learning researchers， to make the estimates earlier.”
“I am a bit skeptical of some of the timelines given for tasks that
involve physical manipulation （操作），” says Jeremy Wyatt，
professor of robotics and AI at the University of Birmingham. “It is one
thing doing it in the lab， and quite another having a robot that can do a
job reliably in the real world better than a human.”
Manipulating physical objects in the real world， an environment that
changes randomly， is a complex job for a machine.
Perhaps the hardest jobs for machines to perform are those that take
years of training for humans to excel at.These often involve intuitive （凭
直觉的） decision making and abstract thinking — things that computers
have been struggling with.
The experts predict robots will not be taking over as surgeons （外科
医生） until around 2053， while it could take 43 years before machines
are competing with mathematicians for space in top academic journals.

意为“怀疑的”。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before：
changes for the better， changes for the worse； changes that brought a lot
of benefits to human beings； changes that put man in danger. Many
things caused the changes. 36.（ ）
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our
views. 37.（ ） It also has brought us a better understanding of the
nature of life and of its continuous development.Technology in the
application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in
nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will
result in even greater advantages to human beings： in pure science — a
wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning； in applied
science — a more reasonable sharing of material benefits， and better
protection of the environment.
38. （ ） The creativity of science has been employed in doing
damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the
development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a
real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet.
39.（ ） Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the
Second World War， the number of nuclear weapons that were produced
and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been
used， the result could have been the ruin of the human race， as well as
of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said， “The web of our life is of a mingled
yarn （纱线）， good and ill together.” The above brief review of the
application of only one part of human activities — science seems to prove
what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so？ 40.（ ） Are we
biologically programmed for war？
A. What can we do to handle it？
B. Must the ill always go together with the good？
C. Sadly， however， there is another side to the picture.
D. We get a better understanding of the world around us.
E. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons.
F. However， in my opinion， the most important was the progress in
science.
G. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the
universe.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章从正反两方面论述了科技进步

Dear fellow students，
It’s an honor to speak here， sharing my topic Say No to Online
Games with you. Nowadays， many students are addicted to playing
online games. As we all know， senior high school is a time for
knowledge and physical development. Never should we waste precious
time on games.
Online games do harm to us in many aspects. They can damage our
health at our time for relaxation or sleep. In addition， it is likely that
we’ll lose attention in study. Last but not least， we may suffer from
mental disorders without communicating with people in real life.

Tammy lives on the Little Acres Farm with her family.They have
almost everything on the farm， but they don’t have many good
pumpkins.For some reason， they never grow properly.
In October， they sell tickets to the farm， and create a maze （迷
宫） made of hay bales （干草捆）.They call this “The Haunted
Maze”.However， people like to see pumpkins on Halloween， and
always complain about the lack of pumpkins.
One morning， Tammy’s dad talked to her.
“The Shelby Farm is planning a Haunted Maze this year，” Dad
said.
“Oh no！” said Tammy.“That means they’ll take away our
business！”
“We need to see what they’re up to，” Dad said.“Tammy， can
you do that？”
“Dad， I’ll give it a try，” she said.
Tammy felt like a spy （间谍） from Little Acres Farm.Early the
next morning， she rode her bicycle and got to the Shelby Farm
quickly.Mr Shelby was staring at piles of hay and looked confused.
“Hello， Tammy，” said Mr Shelby when he saw her.
“Hi， Mr Shelby，” said Tammy， suddenly not knowing what to
say.
“Where are you going？” Mr Shelby asked her.
A shaky feeling rose in Tammy’s body.She started to breathe
heavily out of fear.She said， “I was just passing by ...，” then
paused， and said “Goodbye” suddenly and rode away.All the way，
she thought she would be laughed at by her dad.She had an idea.She
secretly picked one pumpkin from the Shelby Farm， put it in the basket
on her bike， and made a detour （绕道） to avoid Mr Shelby.
Tammy was halfway home before she realized what she had done.She
regretted doing this.When she got home， she told Dad everything.
“You stole a pumpkin？” he asked.“You were supposed to find
out information about their Haunted Maze， and you just stole a
pumpkin？” Dad was so angry.
Tammy said， “I’m sorry.I was afraid！” She really was
afraid.She’d never stolen anything before in her entire life.
Dad took the pumpkin from Tammy and got in his car.He left the
driveway， and turned in the direction of the Shelby’s farm.He was
returning the pumpkin.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
After about three hours， Tammy’s dad finally came home.
Tammy agreed to teach Mr Shelby how to make a haunted hay
maze.
参考范文：
After about three hours， Tammy’s dad finally came home.To
Tammy’s surprise， the whole car was full of pumpkins！Tammy’s
eyes widened.Dad laughed， and explained， “I had a long talk with Mr
Shelby.We thought that we’d all be better off if we worked together on
the maze instead of competing.So we did a trade.He gave us pumpkins，
and as an apology for your theft， you would teach him how to make a
haunted hay maze.” Tammy thought it was a good idea.
Tammy agreed to teach Mr Shelby how to make a haunted hay
maze.She went over to the Shelby Farm.She said sorry to Mr Shelby first
and showed him how to stack the hay to create a difficult maze.When
Halloween came， Tammy’s family went to the Shelby Farm.At the end
of the driveway was a sign that said：The Shelby Farm and Little Acres
Farm present The Haunted Hay Maze.It turned out that working together
benefited both farms.The customers were very satisfied with this year’s
activities.(共100张PPT)

The New Age of Invention
Interviewer：Good evening， and welcome to Between the
Pages.This evening， [1]I’ll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst，
whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been
published.Welcome， Richard！
Richard：Thank you.[2]It’s a pleasure to be here.
Interviewer：I guess you have been asked about the title of your
book before.[3]It suggests that the present① day is a new age for
inventions， but many people might think that the great age of invention is
over.
Richard：Well， that’s an interesting point②.[4]There have been
golden ages of invention throughout history.Think of③ the four great
inventions in Ancient China：gunpowder④， papermaking， printing and
the compass⑤.These things changed the world forever.Then there were
the great Western inventions：the steam engine， the telephone and the
radio.And now， we [5]find ourselves in the great new age of
technology.
[1]句中I’ll be talking to ...为将来进行时；whose引导定语从
句，在从句中作new book的定语。
[2]It’s a pleasure to do sth很高兴做某事。It是形式主语，动词
不定式短语是真正的主语。
[3]suggest此处意思是“表明”，that引导宾语从句；另外，
suggest还可以表示“建议”。

Interviewer：So are most of the new great inventions tech-based？
Richard：A lot， yes.For example， advances in virtual reality⑥
and wearable tech⑦， as well as⑧ the flexible⑨ battery⑩， mean we
should soon be seeing further developments .In addition ， important
advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to
increasing computer power .
Interviewer：Can you give us some examples ？
Richard：Sure.New inventions like 3D printers have been used to
make replacement hearts and bone parts.In terms of the
environment， [6]it is now possible to create an intelligent walking
house.It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different
places， [7]with computing technology controlling its “legs”.What’s
more ， huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly

an inventor yourself.Is that correct？
Richard：Yes， I am， but I’m only one member of a big team —
most inventors now work as part of big international teams.
Interviewer：I see .So [8]what is it that inspires us to invent
things？
Richard：Most inventions start with recognising a problem [9]that
needs a solution.This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of
the wheel in ancient times， [10]which much later developed into the
car.Now， reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have
led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles.But
[11]what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think
and create， and that’s the real spirit of invention.
Interviewer：One last question.This is [12]the one everyone really
wants to know：will anybody ever invent a time machine？
Richard：I think [13]you’ve been watching too many movies！
Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long way
from an invention like that at the moment！But， as they say， “Never

新发明时代
采访人：晚上好，欢迎来到《字里行间》。今晚的嘉宾是理查
德·费尔赫斯特博士，他的新书《新发明时代》刚刚出版。欢迎
您，理查德！
理查德：谢谢！很高兴能来到这里。
采访人：我猜已经有人就书名向您提问了。书名提示现在是发明创造
的新时代，但可能很多人都认为辉煌的发明时代已经结束了。
理查德：嗯，这个观点很有意思。纵观历史，我们经历过很多发
明创造的黄金时代。想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、
印刷术和指南针。它们永远地改变了世界。而后西方也出现了蒸
汽机、电话、广播等伟大的发明。而现在，我们发现自己正处于
伟大的科技新时代。
采访人：所以大多数伟大的新发明都是科技产品吗？
理查德：是的，很多都是。比如说，虚拟现实、可穿戴科技设备与柔
性电池技术的进步意味着我们很快会看到更多相关领域的产品研发。
此外，得益于不断强化的计算机能力，医药与环境科学也取得了重要
进展。
采访人：您能给我们举几个例子吗？
理查德：当然可以。3D打印机之类的新发明已经应用于制作移植心脏
与部分骨骼。在环境领域，建造智能可移动房屋现在已成为可能。它
能依靠全球定位系统技术四处移动，计算机技术则控制着它的“双
腿”。此外，太阳能技术的巨大进步也意味着它可以很环保。
采访人：真是了不起的发明！我听说您自己也是个发明家。是这
样吗？
理查德：是的。但我只是一个大型团队中的一分子——大多数发明家
现在都在大型国际团队中工作。
采访人：明白了。那么是什么激励着我们进行发明创造呢？
理查德：发现某个需要解决的问题，这是绝大多数发明的起点。古代
轮子的发明无疑也是如此，后来演变为汽车。现在，能源供应紧缩与
环境污染推动了新能源汽车技术的进一步发展。不过有一点依旧重
要，就是我们对思考与创造有着一种极度的渴望，而这正是真正的发
明精神。
采访人：最后一个问题，也是大家都很想知道的：会有人发明出时光
机吗？
理查德：我觉得您是电影看多了！目前还没有类似的发明，而且我认
为，我们离这样的发明还远着呢！不过，就像人们说的：“凡事没有
绝对！”

A new technology project in southern Greece is helping visitors
experience the ancient birthplace of the Olympic Games. The project used
augmented reality （增强现实）， or AR， to recreate temples and
competition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. The project lasted for
about 18 months with a series of imaging flights to help map areas across
Olympia. It was recently launched in the city， one of the world’s major
archaeological （考古的） sites. Augmented reality is a technology that
can project computer-created images onto special eyeglasses. Through the
eyeglasses， the images appear along with other physical objects in the
environment.
The project is a partnership between American software maker
Microsoft and Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helped
Microsoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia. The city was
used for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece that
served as the model for the modern Olympics. “It’s a milestone. That
helped us bring technology and culture and history together so we can
preserve it，” Microsoft President Brad Smith said. The experience
provides users with the chance to virtually walk through the ruins of
Olympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens， people can also use
Microsoft’s AR headsets for a similar experience.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined a group of
schoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. “I’m
absolutely excited that we’re able to present to the world a completely
new cultural experience using technology to recreate the ancient world of
Olympia，” Mitsotakis told The Associated Press. Students from a local
middle school looked at statues and buildings that were brought to life on
their phones. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings to
explore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports.
One of the children， Panagiotis Christopoulos， called the project
“impressive”. “I think it can help with teaching in schools.” the
student said.

A driverless train took its first trip around Hamburg， Germany in
2021 and may greatly improve transportation in the city. Acknowledged as
the world’s first， the train created by Siemens Mobility and Deutsche
Bahn （DB） officially went into service in December.
This is part of a large modernization project for the city’s S-Bahn
urban rail. There were no changes to the tracks， as the autonomous （自
动的） trains run on the same network as the current trains that have
drivers operating them.
“The railroad has arrived in the digital future and Digital Rail for
Germany may become a reality. With automated rail operations， we can
offer our passengers a significantly expanded and improved service，”
said Dr Richard Lutz， CEO of DB. “The new trains can transport up to
30 per cent more passengers and operate on time， and they will be more
energy-efficient. They are also encouraged for environmental protection
reasons.”
The trains receive signals via radios. There will be drivers present
when there are passengers on board but they will only supervise （监督）
the run and the passengers. There are now plans to digitize Hamburg’s S-
Bahn system entirely by the end of the decade and the government has
already decided to put money into new trains and infrastructure
improvements.
Autonomous transportation technology is being used in taxis by
Waymo， which started as the Google self-driving project in 2009. Other
companies that are working on driverless cars include Tesla， GM，
Nissan， and Zoox. These cars have to find their ways on roads with the
help of GPS technology but driving on a track is much simpler and safer.
“The new technology has already been officially approved and， since it
features open interfaces （接口）， it can immediately be used by
operators worldwide for all types of trains，” said Dr Roland Busch，
CEO of Siemens AG. Maybe it’s time for the new autonomous revolution.

As summer heats up， future homes may cool down， thanks to
coatings of brightly coloured nanocrystals （纳米晶体）.Normal
coatings， such as paint， heat up in the sun. The new crystal films
created by Qingchen Shen’s team get cooler than the air around them
when exposed to sunlight. Shen studies materials science at the University
of Cambridge.
This cooling method has a long name： passive daytime radiative
（辐射的） cooling.Shen’s team didn’t invent the process. Other
materials do it too. But until now， only white or mirrored surfaces did
this. Such surfaces reflect a lot of light， keeping that light from heating
the surface. Now， Shen’s team has figured out a way to make colourful
passive-cooling surfaces. “We can produce red， green and blue，”
says Shen.
“The film has two layers.The top one is crystallized cellulose （纤
维素）， which provides the colour.Different crystal patterns produce
different colours. A different form of cellulose — ethyl cellulose — makes
up the bottom layer.This layer scatters （分散） all the light that leaks
（漏） through the top layer.Both layers help the film release heat into
space. The two-layer approach is what makes this work unique，” says
Lucian Lucia， an expert on biomaterials. “The Cambridge team，” he
says， “achieved a fairly remarkable and simple approach toward
cooling.”
The team made the films one layer at a time. First， they dried a
watery mix of ethyl cellulose into thin sheets. Then they spread a thin
layer of cellulose crystals in water atop this， like icing a cake. As that
“icing” dried， its crystals linked up to form the colourful top layer.
Slight variations in crystal shape will produce different patterns — and
colours.
Under sunlight， the films cooled to 4 ℃ below the air temperature.
At night， the temperature difference was 9 ℃. Even better， Shen’s
team worked out how to make the films in large amounts， which is very
important for their work， notes Ran Zheng， a researcher studying
materials science. Such large-scale production makes this invention more
likely to get used in real life， he explains. If used to help keep buildings
cool in the summer sun， he notes， these coatings might cut the need for
air conditioning.
