Fire was discovered many thousands of years ago. The first time humans saw fire was probably when a tree was destroyed by lightning(闪电). Humans soon learned how to make fire. They probably made the first fire by rubbing(摩擦)two sticks together.
Fire was very important to humans. They needed to keep warm at night. They used fire to cook food. 3They used fire to keep enemies and wild animals away. In some parts of the world fire was used to send messages. The Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
4Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp(灯), humans burned sticks to get light.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的)parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, it would burn too quickly.

3. To put an end to their fights, their parents decided to create a small drama. They wanted the girls to understand that they were both correct from their own point of view. Their parents covered the girls eyes with black ribbons, and brought them to the dining room. 4 . Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other. They couldn’t see the other side of it. When the ribbons were taken away, they were surprised to see a huge board between them.
Now, their father asked Lara, “What’s the color of the board?” She replied, “It’s black!”5. She replied, “It’s white!”The two girls began to argue again. While Lara was confident it was black, Tara was sure it was white. Then, they were asked to exchange（交换）their places. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Tara, who insisted it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was shocked to see a white one. They understood that each of them was right in her own view.

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 41 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised(认定)as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time??
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 42 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.?
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 43 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.?
Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.
44 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(专利) on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.?
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci's death, his work was finally recognised by the government. 45 ?
A.He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables.

No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

Artificial intelligence (AI)(人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers' jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These include jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.?

Now, it seems that artificial intelligence(人工智能)is becoming more and more popular in our life, and it has greatly influenced the ways we live, work and play. Can you imagine that you can play table tennis with a robot one day?
Recently, a scientist has invented a special robot that can be a table tennis coach. That means people can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.
Named Forpheus, the smart table tennis robot is quite special. It can study the movements of human players and the speeds of the ball. In this way, it can exactly judge(判断)the players' skill levels(水平). Then it uses the information to change the ways to play. If the players are just beginners, Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way, but if the players are better ones, the robot will play in a faster and more difficult way. What's more, while playing, it encourages players to try their best with words like“Good job!”, “Come on!”and so on. At the same time, it gives some good advice to improve their skills. So it is both a good partner and a clever coach.
Science and technology is developing quickly these days and it's hard to imagine what will happen in the future.“In the next 20 years, it will be possible that one robot teaches another to play table tennis or even invents another one!”Takuoya, the inventor of the robot, said.

3.The robot can judge the skill levels of human players exactly.
4.One robot will probably teach another to play table tennis in the future.

阅读下面短文,按照每题后的单词要求数量回答问题。
Harland Sanders was born in the USA in 1890, but his childhood was not a happy one. His father died when he was only six, so his mother needed to find a job. She went to work in a shirt factory and Harland stayed at home to look after his younger brother. That was when he first learned to cook.
He left home when he was twelve and worked on a nearby farm. After that he had a lot of different jobs and in 1930 he became a service station manager in Corbin, Kentucky. He started cooking meals for hungry travellers who stopped at the service station, and soon people came only for the food. Harland moved to a 142-seat restaurant across the street where he could serve all his customers. Over the next nine years, he developed the secret chicken recipe(配方) that made him famous.
In the early 1950s, he closed the restaurant and decided to sell his recipe to other businesses. The first official(正式的) Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) restaurant did not open until 1952. By 1964, there were more than 600 KFCs in North America. That year Sanders sold the company(公司) for 2 million dollars, but he continued to work as KFC's public spokesman and visited restaurants all over the world. He travelled 250,000 miles every year until he died in 1980 aged 90. Six years later PensiCo bought KFC for 480 million dollars.
There are now KFC restaurants in more than 80 countries and they sell 2.5 billion chicken dinners every year and the recipe is still a secret!
What did Harland Sanders have to do when he was 6?(within 9 words)?
How long did it take him to develop his secret chicken recipe?(within 5 words)?
When did the first official KFC restaurant open?(within 2 words)?
4.What did Harland Sanders do after he sold the KFC business?(within 8 words)?

Some cool inventions are listed in Science Magazine's 25 best inventions of 2018. They are “making the world better, smarter and—in some cases—a little more fun”, according to the magazine's website. Do you want to learn more about some of the inventions? Let's find out.
●Spark
Spark is a new type of drones (飞行器) made by a Chinese company (公司) in Shenzhen called DJI. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made. When folded, it is as small as a can of cola (可乐罐). The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures (手势). For example, if you wave (挥动) your hand from left to right, the drone will fly in the same direction. When you want it to land, you just put your hand out. The drone will come to you and land on you hand.
●Social Robot
Robots may not be good communicators. But Jibo, made by US company Jibo Inc., may be different. With a big, round head and round, fat body, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. As soon as you say, “Hey, Jibo.” It will giggle (咯咯地笑), dance and turn to face you. When it talks to you, it moves its head and body naturally to communicate with you. Although it has no eyes or mouth, Jibo uses animated icons (生动的表情), such as a smile icon, to show emotions. Right now Jibo can only do some basic things, like taking photos or reading the news to you. But it may learn to do more in the future.
根据短文内容,选择最佳选项。
1.According to the passage, we know .?
