（共10小题，计10分）It was Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. Klein came into the classroom when the bell rang. After saying hello to the students, she told them to 31 a picture of something to show their thanks. She knew that most of the class would draw pictures of turkeys or Thanksgiving 32＿with lots of food.What made Mrs. Klein surprised was Douglas's picture. Douglas was such a 33 boy that he always stayed away from the others. Douglas's drawing was 34 this: a hand. But whose hand？The class became 35 his picture. “I think it's the hand of a 36 ,”said Frank, “because he or she raises the turkeys. ”“It look s more like a policeman's hand, and it 37 us, I think. ”said Lavini. …Mrs. Klein was very happy to see that the class showed so much interest in Douglas's picture. When the others were at work on another project,she walked over to him and asked whose hand it was. Douglas answered in a very low voice,“It's 38 ,Teacher. ”Then Mrs. Klein remembered that she had taken Douglas by the hand from time to time. She often did that with the children. But that had so much 39 to Douglas.Perhaps, she thought, this was her Thanksgiving, and everybody's Thanksgiving—not the things we receive, but the small 40 to give something to others.31.

But a report from China Youth Daily has found another side of them.“Although they are influenced by popular culture, the ‘post-00s’ treat buying more like researching,” reported China Youth Daily.Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou, Fujian, is typically such a person. She decided to buy a Casio watch, but she didn’t pay for the most popular type. Instead, she researched all of the watches available. “I looked up information on different Casio watches online and I compared them. I also did research on their makers,” said Wang. For Wang, researching things is as enjoyable as buying them.Rationality is also important to them, the report pointed out.Sun Xiaoxue,15,from Huairen,Shanxi province, likes making her own journals (日志). “I found many stickers (贴纸) that bought when I was a child. Since most of them were old and out of style, I cut and put them together to make them my own. The stickers make my journals more special, said Sun. “I feel so good to ‘turn waste into treasure’ and also it helps me to spend less money.”For Liu Yu,17,from Yantai,Shandong province, her buying doesn’t directly show her interests. Although she is a lover of Han costumes, she hardly spends money on them. “Instead of buying them, I am more interested in the culture and history behind the costumes when comparing different kinds of them,” said Liu.46. How did Wang Yihan decide which Casio watch to buy?A. By comparing the prices.B. By studying many different watches.C. By choosing the most popular one.47. What does the underlined word “rationality” mean in Paragraph 4?A. 实力B. 兴致C.理性48. Sun Xiaoxue thinks that her way of making journals ________.A. is old but popularB. takes a lot of timeC. is special and saves money49. How does Liu Yu show her love for Han costumes?A. She often buys a lot of them.B. She learns about the culture and history behind them.C. She takes part in activities about them.50. The report mainly talks about the ________ of the “post-00s” generation.A. spending habitsB. special interestsC. learning abilitiesBIn ancient Rome, food tasters were once asked to make sure the king’s food was safe to eat. An electronic tongue (舌头) promises to do that and so much more now. Although the human tongue can taste different foods, there are limits to what we can taste. Electronic tongues are a kind of tool that can be used to study different foods or drinks in greater detail.These “tongues” can be used to search for special chemicals (化学物) in food or drinks, and to compare the similarities and differences between different foods and drinks. Beyond this, electronic tongues can be used for other tasks like testing the water quality of rivers or even to test blood for signs of cancer.Mainly, these tools are helpful in carefully examining things humans can’t or don’t want to taste in order to see what they are like. For example, imagine a company experimenting with how to make a cough medicine taste like bananas. It would be unsafe for the same person to test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.The truth is that “e-tongues” can do a lot more than any human tongue ever could. With this in mind, the food industry is using the technology in many interesting ways.Scotch (苏格兰威士忌) is known to get better the longer it ages, as the price of a good Scotch shows. But sometimes, people try to sell 1-year-old Scotch for the price of 18-year-old Scotch. To stop this, electronic tongues are used to compare Scotch samples (样本), which ensures that the Scotch is as advertised.Similarly, many consumers mistakenly buy unclean honey because they can’t find the difference between real and unreal honey. However, e-tongues can. They decide on a honey sample’s quality using electrical bursts.As it stands, this technology could lead to better-tasting and safer food, among other things. Best of all, to achieve these results, humans will no longer have to put their lives or their tongues on the line.51. What is an electronic tongue NOT used for?A. Studying different food or drinks.B. Making sure the king’s food was safe.C. Testing blood for some signs of cancer.52. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.A. 1-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.B. 9-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.C. 18-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.53. Which of the following about e-tongues is NOT true?A. E-tongues can test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.B. E-tongues can stop Scotch from being advertised.C. E-tongues can find the differences between real and unreal honey.54. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Humans will lose their lives or their tongues.B. Humans will never get their lives or their tongues in danger.C. Humans will never own their live or use their tongues.55. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What e-tongues are used for.B. How e-tongues are made.C. What the differences between human tongue and e-tongues are.第三节语篇补全（共4小题，计8分）What if you had the chance to meet with a dead loved one in virtual reality (VR) (虚拟现实)?Recently, a South Korean video recording a special meeting between a mother and a daughter has touched the hearts of many people.

But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.Patterson, a teenager from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, started a business when he was just nine. He used to sell sweets, but now he sells household products like wash bags and soft toys. The things he sells are the characters from a book he wrote.Patterson’s early school years were difficult, as he was different from what his classmates were like. He saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties or play dates (玩耍约会). He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even more lonely.But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually lost himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. He tried very hard to express himself clearly and talk to bigger audiences. His business has earned him 65,000 pounds (566, 221 yuan) and he has spoken at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers. On top of this, he does his best to put his schoolwork in the first place. He takes his homework with him to events and does it on the train or after a presentation (发布会).Two years ago, he wrote a book called Young and Mighty. It describes his search for success and happiness. “The real point of the book is to help people my age think about how to make their way in the world,” he wrote. 46. What is Patterson’s business now?A. Selling household products.B. Selling sweets.C. Selling books.47. Which is NOT true about Patterson’s life in his early school years?A. He had no time to play.B. He had few friends.C. He had a speech problem.48. How did Patterson deal with his loneliness?A. By designing things and writing stories.B. By talking to different people.C. By reading interesting stories.49. From the last sentence of Paragraph 4, we know Patterson’s business is ________.A. disappointingB. successfulC. creative50. What can we learn from the story of Patterson?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. It’s never too old to learn.C. Nothing is impossible if your put you heart into it.BThe pencil is a very simple object. However, it took hundreds of people over centuries to make it what it’s like today.The story of the pencil starts with graphite (石墨). People cut it into small sticks and use them to write or draw. Around 1560, an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bemucotti added wood holders to the graphite sticks. However, since the graphite is too soft, the pencils were easy to break. In 1795, in France, Nicolas-Jacques Conte worked out a method of mixing graphite powders with clay. In this way, people made strong pencil cores (铅笔芯). To this day, the method is still used in making pencils. It was Henry David Thoreau who came up with the grading scale (分级量表) for different hardnesses of pencils. It was graded one through four, and grade two is the proper hardness for general use. Nowadays, pencils marked 2B are usually used in exams to mark answers. Pencils marked HB are usually used in daily writing. People usually use pencils of different hardness and blackness to draw different parts of a picture.When pencils were handmade, they were made round. Then an American Joseph Dixon developed machines to make pencils. Later people found out it was easier and less wasteful to make a pencil which has six sides. There is a pencil for everyone and every pencil has a story. The Blackwing 602 is famous for being used by a lot of famous writers. And it’s what people most probably will buy when their children are about to learn to write.In my opinion, there’s nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is now.51. Who improved the hardness of pencils?A. Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti.B. Nicolas-Jacquces Conte.C. Henty David Thoreau.52. How did people feel about pencils with six sides?A. They are comfortable to use.B. They are more wastefulC. They are easier to make.53. What can we learn about pencils?A. The uses of pencils depend on their hardness and blackness.B. Pencils of great hardness are less useful.C. Round pencils were first made with machines.54. Why is Blackwing 602 famous?A. Because it is expensive.B. Because it’s popular with famous writers.C. Because it is popular with children.55. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the development of pencilsB. the inventors of pencilsC. the kinds of pencils第三节语篇补全（共4小题，计8分）Earthquakes usually come without warning.

In the past, people embroidered on handkerchiefs, bed covers, tablecloths and dresses. Girls would embroider on their handkerchiefs as a gift for their lovers. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong.Shu embroidery is the oldest of the four. It is known for its smooth needlework (针线) and beautiful colors. It dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC—220 AD). People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road. It used to be a fashion item (时尚单品) in ancient Rome, according to China Daily.Embroidery takes time and patience, for it might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery. By the 1970s, Sichuan had as many as 5,000 embroiderers. But since modem machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy handmade Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers, so the skill is in danger of dying out. To protect the skill, Shu embroidery was added to China’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录) in 2006.60. Where did people embroider in the past?______________________________________________________________________________________ 61.

It is different from the normal pollution monitors fixed on lampposts (路灯柱) at about 3 meters high, so she can record pollution levels close to the ground.This idea comes from Baggy’s 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. Since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair (婴儿车), her monitor shows a different result. The pollution levels are much higher than those recorded by the Environment Agency at higher places in the air. Tom has reported the shocking findings to the government in order to warn that babies are at higher risk of having asthma (哮喘).Matt Hunt said he was very proud of his son because when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it until he finally makes it. And he really wants to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma.“Tom were interested in environmental protection at a very early age as well as gadgets (小装置) making.” Matt added.“About one year ago, he got this new place of technology. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, ‘why don’t we put it around Baggy’s neck and let her monitor the pollution?’ So we did it.”Tom said “Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time, she is a sup er dog, and we all really take pride in her.”6．With a monitor around her neck, Baggy can ________.A．lower air pollution B．record pollution levels C．process pollution information7．What can we learn from the Baggy’s recording?A．High places hardly have air pollution.B．The air near the ground is more polluted.C．The normal monitors are more dependable.8．The underlined phrase gets on with in Paragraph 4 means ________.A．continues working on B．comes up with C．is good with9．Which of the following can best describe Tom Hunt?A．Smart and outgoing B．Helpful and creative C．Talented and brave 10．What can be the best title of the text?A．Air pollution worries many parents.B．A boy and his dog make a difference.C．High-tech products spread in the UK.Every day people get on trains, planes and prepare to take risks. But what about the deep sea? Covering about 70 percent of the earth’s surface, there is still much to be discovered about the biggest unknown part of the world. The underwater world is such an amazing place. Have you ever wanted to have a try?From tourist submarines (潜艇) to underwater restaurants, undersea tourism is catching people’s eyes. Submarine tours have been on in more than 20 places in South America and Europe. The submarines receive nearly 2 million tourists each year and the number is still growing. Passengers can see the colorful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and sunken (下沉的) ships through the big windows of them. Now there has been a move to connect art with the underwater tourism. Passengers who love art can also watch amazing art works in underwater museums like the Australia’s Museum of Underwater Art.For a more fantastic experience, tourists can enjoy nice food under the sea. In 2016, the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa opened the world’s first und erwater restaurant, Ithaa. Sitting in the restaurant, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean. But it isn’t cheap. The dinner costs about $400 per person. Be sure to book it early. Because the restaurant has only 14 seats.Undersea tourism has also brought more attention to the importance of protecting oceans and the animal life that calls them home. British artist Jason Taylor, whose artwork can be seen in a lot of underwater tourist places around the world, feels this is key.“Most people just see the surface of the ocean and it is hard to imagine that things underwater are so easy to be hurt. We don’t consider our oceans as important as our lives and we should.”11．What does the underlined word “them” refer to?A．the submarines B．the sunken ships C．the underwater museums 12．In Paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?A．People can not try submarine tours in Asia present.B．Tourists are becoming less interested in submarine-tours.C．Art lovers will have the chance to enjoy the artworks underwater.13．As for the restaurant Ithaa, the writer introduces ________.a. what it is made ofb. how much you will pay forc. how many seats there ared. what the special food isA．ab B．bc C．cd14．According to Jason Taylor, what is the most important thing behind underwater tourism?

To help them know each other, they write their names on their clothing. To save time going to the bathroom, they choose to wear diapers.

（共4小题，计8分）To many people. art is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about Al creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. 56 .However. this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning Al into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.A piece of music created by AI caught people's attention. AI was used to turn the novel coronavirus into a piece of music according to its protein structure（蛋白质结构）.Besides creating imaginative works,57. . For example,in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically（自动地）color in black-and-white line drawings. “The results require artists to do a clean-up. 58. . It did it by cutting down the t ime it takes to color each drawing. ” said a famous animator.As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological development. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if people don't fear it and try to welcome it.What else can AI do？AI can learn different music styles and create music.AI makes web design faster by creating starting points and giving suggestions.59. .

（共10小题，计20分）AThis was an unusual graduation ceremony（毕业典礼）in Jiangsu Province. As the “students” were moving across the stage to receive their diplomas（毕业证）,the sound of motors could be clearly heard.Ye Meilan, the headmaster of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, smiled as she “greeted”the graduates.However, the “students”were two human-like robots with screens. The real students can communicate with the headmaster through the video.This amazing ceremony was held at the university on May 22,with more than 1,500 students receiving their diplomas. A small number of students were chosen by the university to attend the graduation ceremony in person,while a large number of graduates and their parents could only watch the ceremony at home because of COVID—19.The two robots used in the ceremony were made by students from the university's robot club. The club members spent nearly three weeks turning the robots into human-like forms taking the place of the real graduates.“It was really memorable to attend my graduation ceremony this way,”one of the graduates told Pear Video,a popular app,“I will remember it forever. ”One Internet user wrote that watching the ceremony seemed kind of strange,“Like something from a scary movie. ”However,he added,“The university is great because it wanted to let every student experience their own graduation ceremony. ”46. At the unusual university graduation ceremony,the caused the sound of motors.A. headmasterB. robotsC. students47. The university graduation ceremony was held in this way to .A. keep the graduates safeB. show technologyC. have a surprise48. What might the underlined word “memorable”in the sixth paragraph mean in English？A. Important.B. Unforgettable.C. Educational.49. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about？A. Some opinions on the graduation ceremony.B. The meaning of the graduation ceremony.C. The ways to make the graduation ceremony come true.50. What's the best title for the passage？A. A special university with robotsB. A wonderful robot clubC. A special graduation ceremonyBThere's a new sight in the sky these days—the newly-discovered Comet（彗星）NEOWISE is flying past the sun. This is the first time since the 1990s when people have had a chance to see a comet with their bare eyes（裸眼）.A comet is basically a ball of dirty ice that moves around the sun. As a comet comes close to the sun,the sun melts（融化）some of the ice,which makes a tail behind the comet as it flies through space. Most comets move around the sun in a circle. Comets spend most of their time moving slowly,far away from the sun. As they pass the sun, they speed up.The size and shape of a comet's moving way can influence how long it takes to finish its one circle. Halley's Comet is a famous comet coming around once every 75-76 years. But the last time Comet NEOWISE was here near the sun was about 6,800 years ago. Because of the long time it takes to finish its one circle,NEOWISE was only just discovered some months ago. It was seen in March with a special space telescope run by NASA.The name of the telescope system that first saw the comet is NEOWISE,so that's how the comet got its name. NEOWISE is easy to see now because it is close to the sun. At its farthest,NEOWISE will be 630 times farther away from the sun than the earth is.Even at its closest— which was on July 23—the comet was still as far away from the earth as Mars was. But it was still bright enough to see,even without a telescope.51. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us？A. Why comets have a tail behind them.B. How comets move around the sun.C. Some facts about comets.52. What can we infer from the third paragraph？A. Comet NEOWISE is less common to see than Halley's Comet.B. It's easy for Comet NEOWISE to move around the sun in a circle.C. Comet NEOWISE is more famous than Halley's Comet.53. Where does the name of the new comet come from？A. The name of the telescope system.B. The name of the person who first saw it.C. The name of a special day.54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. Comet NEOWISE was farther from the earth than the Mars was on July 23 this year.B. Comet NEOWISE is always closer to the sun than the earth is.C. How long Comet NEOWISE needs to finish one circle is influenced by its moving way.55. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. How to watch comets.B. A newly-discovered comet.C. How comets move around the sun.答案：46－50 BABAC 51－55 CAACB2020-2021学年秋季湖南省长沙雅礼集团2021届九年级上期中英语试题第二节短文阅读（共10小题，计20分）AIt is not unusual to hear that the “post-00s” generation spend too much money and time on online gaming or offer live streamers (直播主播) much money. But a report from China YouthDaily has found another side of them.“Although they are influenced by popular culture, the ‘post-00s’ treat buying more l ike researching,” reported China Youth Daily.Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou, Fujian, is typically such a person. She decided to buy a Casio watch, but she didn’t pay for the most popular type. Instead, she researched all of the watches available. “I looked u p information on different Casio watches online and I compared them. I also did research on their makers,” said Wang. For Wang, researching things is as enjoyable as buying them.Rationality is also important to them, the report pointed out.Sun Xiaoxue,15,from Huairen,Shanxi province, likes making her own journals (日志). “I found many stickers (贴纸) that bought when I was a child. Since most of them were old and out of style, I cut and put them together to make them my own. The stickers make my journals more special, said Sun. “I feel so good to ‘turn waste into treasure’ and also it helps me to spend less money.”For Liu Yu,17,from Yantai,Shandong province, her buying doesn’t directly show her interests. Although she is a lover of Han costumes, she hardly sp ends money on them. “Instead of buying them, I am more interested in the culture and history behind the costumes when comparing different kinds of them,” said Liu.46. How did Wang Yihan decide which Casio watch to buy?A. By comparing the prices.B. By studying many different watches.C. By choosing the most popular one.47. What does the underlined word “rationality” mean in Paragraph 4?A. 实力B. 兴致C.理性48. Sun Xiaoxue thinks that her way of making journals ________.A. is old but popularB. takes a lot of timeC. is special andsaves money49. How does Liu Yu show her love for Han costumes?A. She often buys a lot of them.B. She learns about the culture and history behind them.C. She takes part in activities about them.50. The report main ly talks about the ________ of the “post-00s” generation.A. spending habitsB. special interestsC. learningabilitiesBIn ancient Rome, food tasters were once asked to make sure the king’s food was safe to eat. An electronic tongue (舌头) promises to do that and so much more now. Although the human tongue can taste different foods, there are limits to what we can taste. Electronic tongues are a kind of tool that can be used to study different foods or drinks in greater detail.These “tongues” can be used to search for special chemicals (化学物) in food or drinks, and to compare the similarities and differences between different foods and drinks. Beyond this, electronic tongues can be used for other tasks like testing the water quality of rivers or even to test blood for signs of cancer.Mainly, these tools are helpful in carefully examining things humans can’t or don’t want to taste in order to see what they are like. For example, imagine a company experimenting with how to make a cough medicine taste like bananas. It would be unsafe for the same person to test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.The truth is that “e-tongues” can do a lot more than any human tongue ever could. With this in mind, the food industry is using the technology in many interesting ways.Scotch (苏格兰威士忌) is known to get better the longer it ages, as the price of a good Scotch shows. But sometimes, people try to sell 1-year-old Scotch for the price of 18-year-old Scotch. To stop this, electronic tongues are used to compare Scotch samples (样本), which ensures that the Scotch is as advertised.Similarly, many consumers mistakenly buy unclean honey because they can’t find the difference between real and unreal honey. However, e-tongues can. They decide on a honey sample’s quality using e lectrical bursts.As it stands, this technology could lead to better-tasting and safer food, among other things. Best of all, to achieve these results, humans will no longer have to put their lives or their tongues on the line.51. What is an electronic tongue NOT used for?A. Studying different food or drinks.B. Making sure the king’s food was safe.C. Testing blood for some signs of cancer.52. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.A. 1-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.B. 9-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.C. 18-year-old Scotch is the most expensive.53. Which of the following about e-tongues is NOT true?A. E-tongues can test 100 different kinds of banana cough soup.B. E-tongues can stop Scotch from being advertised.C. E-tongues can find the differences between real and unreal honey.54. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Humans will lose their lives or their tongues.B. Humans will never get their lives or their tongues in danger.C. Humans will never own their live or use their tongues.55. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. What e-tongues are used for.B. How e-tongues are made.C. What the differences between human tongue and e-tongues are.答案：46—50 BCCBA 51—55 BCBBA2020年秋季湖南师大附中博才2021届九年级上期中英语试题第二节短文阅读（共10小题，计20分）AMost 15-year-olds are worrying about their math homework and trying to get on with other kids their age. But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.Patterson, a teenager from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England started a business when he was just nine. He used to sell sweets, but now he sells household products like wash bagsand soft toys. The things he sells are the characters from a book he wrote.Patterson's early school years were difficult, as he was different from what his classmates were like. He saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties or play dates（玩耍约会）. He also had a stammer（口吃），which made him feel even more lonely.But these things didn't hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually lost himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. He tried very hard to express himself clearly and talk to bigger audiences. His business has earned him 65,000 pounds (566, 221 yuan) and he has spoken at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers. On top of this, he does his best to put his schoolwork in the first place. He takes his homework with him to events and does it on the train or after a presentation （发布会）.Two years ago, he wrote a book called Young and Mighty. It describes his search for success and happiness. "The real point of the book is to help people my age think about how to make their way in the world," he wrote.46. What is Patterson's business now?A. Selling household products.B. Selling sweets.C. Selling books.47. Which is NOT true about Patterson's life in his early school years?A. He had no time to play.B. He had few friends.C. He had a speech problem.48. How did Patterson deal with his loneliness?A. By designing things and writing stories.B. By talking to different people.C. By reading interesting stories.49. From the last sentence of Paragraph 4, we know Patterson's business is _________.A. disappointingB. successfulC. creative50. What can we learn from the story of Patterson?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. It's never too old to learn.C. Nothing is impossible if your put you heart into it.BThe pencil is a very simple object. However, it took hundreds of people over centuries to make it what it's like today.The story of the pencil starts with graphite（石墨）. People cut it into small sticks and use them to write or draw Around 1560, an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bemucotti added wood holders to the graphite sticks. However, since the graphite is too soft, the pencils were easy to break. In 1795, in France, Nicolas-Jacques Conte worked out a method of mixing graphite powders with clay. In this way, people made strong pencil cores（铅笔芯）. To this day, the method is still used in making pencils. It was Henry David Thoreau who came up with the grading scale （分级量表）for different hardnesses of pencils. It was graded one through four, and grade two is the proper hardness for general use. Nowadays, pencils marked 2B are usually used in exams to mark answers. Pencils marked HB are usually used in daily writing. People usually use pencils of different hardness and blackness to draw different parts of a picture.When pencils were handmade, they were made round. Then an American Joseph Dixon developed machines to make pencils. Later people found out it was easier and less wasteful to make a pencil which has six sides. There is a pencil for everyone and every pencil has a story. The Blackwing 602 is famous for being used by a lot of famous writers. And it's what people most probably will buy when their children are about to learn to write.In my opinion, there's nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is now.51. Who improved the hardness of pencils?A. Simonio and Lyndiana Bemacotti.B. Nicolas-Jacquces Conte.C. Henry David Thoreau.52. How did people feel about pencils with six sides?A. They are comfortable to use.B. They are more wastefulC. They are easier to make.53. What can we learn about pencils?A. The uses of pencils depend on their hardness and blackness.B. Pencils of great hardness are less useful.C. Round pencils were first made with machines.54. Why is Blackwing 602 famous?A. Because it is expensive.B. Because it's popular with famous writers.C. Because it is popular with children.55.
