The first great 1 was one thatis still very important today—the wheel. This made it easy for man 2 heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that, there were 3 great inventions like the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change 4 . There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to search much any more. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. 5 them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These have all become a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter (直升机) in 1909. Movies 6sound in 1926. The computer in 1928.

Man began looking 8 ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took another. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, 9 their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. 10 first walked on the moon. This was certainly just a beginning.

The priest persuaded(劝说), offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent（弯曲）down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.So, he prayed(祈祷), “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church（教堂）members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she keptrefusi ng. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it. ” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t b elieve this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”1．The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.A．get his kitty down from the tree B．persuade his kitty to come downC．offer the kitty some warm milk D．see if the rope was strong enough2．The underlined sentence probably means that the priest __________.A．was happy he didn’t have to care for the kittyB．hoped his neighbors would look after his catC．thought his kitty might be lost or killedD．didn’t want to see his kitty any more3．Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?A．Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.B．Because the woman was his church member.C．Because he thought she would live on cat food.D．Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.4．Who gave the girl a cat?A．God B．His church member C．The priest D．His neighbour5．Which may be the best title of this passage?A．A flying cat B．A lucky girlC．God sent her a cat D．An unlucky priestB14、Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a lttle far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence system(远程遥控系统)-- allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators ( 自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company.1．According to the text, living in a "smart" city ______A．is not a green way B．will be far from youC．will soon become true D．is completely impossible2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．A city of the future. B．A meeting in Songdo.C．A plan to build a house. D．A report on public health.3．Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?A．Cisco. B．IBM. C．Siemens.yagnoOLED D．Microsoft.4．Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to______.A．drive people out of cities B．control the world's population C．develop his own company D．solve the cities' coming problems5．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．Future Education B．Smart Cities C．Government Services D．Famous CompaniesC15、The Rise of Artificial Intelligence（AI:人工智能）discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future, but the future is already here. In 2011, America’s Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat both of the human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computer.In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动）with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they wer e actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apple’s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them. Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.”But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it will likely happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future, we’re going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到）humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won’t have a problem with machines; bu t for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.1．The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that ______.A．the age of machines has comeB．humans make their own enemiesC．AI has actually come into our lifeD．humans are playing a dangerous game2．From the passage, we can learn that _____.A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computerB．machines interacting with humans can be called AIC．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter3．What does the underlined expression “a human-machine hybrid” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．A machine with a human look.B．A human created by machines.C．A body part robotic part human.D．A robot that can behave like humans.4．The passage is mainly about _____.A．the history and future of AIB．the advantages and disadvantages of AIC．the examples of AID．the competition between humans and AID16、Camp NouCamp Nou is a football stadium in Barcelona, Spain.

Here we list four famous travelers in history. Their travel stories have encouraged generations (一代人) of travelers and will continue to do so.Li Bai (701-762)Li Bai was a well-known Chinese poet in the Tang dynasty. He led a wandering lifestyle and was a great traveler. Of the over 1,000 poems he left, nearly half are related to travel. Li Bai was even considered as one of the early travel writers in China and his contributions are of great value to China’s tourism culture.Marco Polo (1254-1324)The famous Italian explorer started his adventure when he was 17 and traveled through Asia along the Silk Road. Luckily, he was a talented writer too, and his travel experiences were vividly recorded in the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, which provided Europeans with great understanding about the society and culture of the Eastern world.Ibn Battuta (1304-1368)Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan (摩洛哥的) scholar and explorer who traveled widely in Afro-Eurasia for over 30 years. Ibn Battuta was the first to introduce China, especially the Great Wall, to the Western and Arab worlds. He detailed his journeys in a book called The Rihla, which has guided many historians and travelers.Xu Xiake (1587-1641)Xu Xiake was a Chinese geologist and travel writer in the Ming dynasty. He traveled throughout China for more than 30 years. The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake, collected and edited (编辑) by later generations, has proven to be of great scientific and literary value. To remember him, the day he started his journey, May 19, has been set as China Tourism Day. 31．According to the passage, who first introduced China to foreigners?A．Li Bai.B．Marco Polo.C．Ibn Battuta.D．Xu Xiake. 32．According to the passage, as a traveler, Li Bai’s main contributions are ________. A．much valuable to China’s tourism culture B．helping Europeans understand the Eastern worldC．guiding many historians and travelers D．the setting of China Tourism Day 33．The passage probably comes from ________.A．Poem World B．Photography LoverC．Tourism Space D．Sea ExplorerGrandpa moved in with us after Grandma passed away. He came to Canada from China, where he was a well-respected school headmaster.I, a nine-year-old boy, never spoke much Chinese. Grandpa didn’t speak much English,but we still connected in our own way.One way we developed our relationship was over a game of Monopoly. He didn’t really understand the rules or much of what my little brother and I said; I don’t think it mattered. He laughed when he landed on our hotels. Or when he pulled a card that read: “GO TO JAIL.” He got a kick to make us happy.I think of Grandpa when I play the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons. I can’t keep track of all the spells and effects in this game.Truthfully, I don’t care if I win or lose these games. What matters is spending time with my children and making an effort to understand their interests.I often think about my kids. At how excitedly they explain rules and how they go easy on their old man. I imagine it’s like how Grandpa felt playing Monopoly with us.Grandpa went for regular walks. He also spent his days sitting on the couch, looking out of the window and singing quietly. I often thought he was bored. But as I age, I find peace in taking moments to look out of a window. Maybe I got that from him.What I learned from my grandfather was to enjoy simple pleasures in life. To see the beauty in the colors of the rainbow. To see a single leaf fall from a tree. To play Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons.34．What happened to the writer and his grandfather during the game?A．They grew closer by playing the game.B．He grew impatient with his grandfather. C．They learned to speak each other’s language.D．His grandfather seldom had fun while playing.35．Which of the following was right about the writer’s grandfather?A．He had fun playing Monopoly.B．He was a headmaster in Canada. C．He didn’t speak much Chinese.D．He didn’t like living in Canada. 36．How did the writer’s grandfather probably feel when he looked out of the window? A．Bored.B．Worried.C．Hopeful.D．Peaceful. 37．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this story?A．To remember his grandfather’s life story.B．To share his grandfather’s influence on him.C．To advise older people to learn about kids’ games.D．To remind readers to spend more time with family.Seven years ago, Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life, finding an excitingjob in Sydney. After the outbreak (爆发) of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box – a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations (捐赠)from the community, “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said.We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might only a hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added.There were many people rushing there for donations. The three girls needed to sanitize (消毒）all the donations and make sure all food packages were not broken. Gomez said that they had no time for rest, but what they did was well worth.38．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.A．the way to build the Blessing BoxB．the help from the local communityC．the purpose of building a street pantryD．the trouble from the outbreak of COVID-1939．Put the following sentences in the right order according to the passage.a. The three girls thought up a good idea.b. The three girls received and sanitized the donations.c. The three girls put information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes.d. The three girls built the Blessing Box with the help of Gomez’s father.A．c—a—b—d B．c—b—a—d.C．a—b—-d—c D．a—d—c—b 40．Few people take everything they need at once because __________.A．they would like to use their own thingsB．they think other people need these things moreC．there aren’t enough donations in the Blessing BoxD．it's not safe to use the things from the Blessing Box41．The best title for the passage can probably be _________.A．Challenges through Life B．Happiness from Strangers C．Friendship during the Hard Times D．Kindness behind the Blessing Box Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? Well, you might be right.According to a study published in Nature on June 23, astronomers(天文学家) have found that 1,715 stars have had a direct view of Earth since humans were here.In order to do this, scientists used a method that looked for life on other planets. But instead, they changed the method so it could try to decide what places could see us.The team looked at 331,312 stars within 326 light-years of Earth. Out of all those stars, only 1,715 of them could see Earth within the last 5,000 years, with an extra 319 stars that will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years.“When I look up at the sky, it looks a little bit friendlier because it’s like, maybe somebody is waving,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, US, and the study’s lead writer.If a planet circling around one of those 1,715 stars is home to advanced life, they could easily see that there is life here because of the oxygen on Earth. If that didn’t give it away, then the radio waves we have sent out into space would also be an indicator. In fact, human-made radio waves have already travelled through 75 of the closest stars on Kaltenegger’s list.Why haven’t we heard from anyone yet, then?It takes a long time for messages to travel between star systems. By the time a message could be received, that advanced life would probably not exist anymore.Alan Boss, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the US who wasn’t part of the study, wrote in an email that this long time would limit the chances for different life to exchange “emails and TikTok videos”.“So we should not expect aliens to show up anytime soon,” Boss said.42．How many stars will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years?A．2,034B．1,715C．1,396D．319 43．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 6 refer to?A．Advanced life.B．The oxygen on Earth.C．Human-made radio waves.D．A planet circling around one of those 1,715 stars.44．What could prevent humans from exchanging messages with aliens according to Boss? A．Aliens don’t exist.B．They cannot understand each other. C．Human-made radio waves cannot travel far.D．It takes a long time for messages to travel.45．What is the purpose of the text?A．To raise reader’s interest in Aliens.B．To present new findings published in a study.C．To discuss if there is advanced life on other stars.D．To explain how messages travel between different star systems.四、根据汉语提示填空46．The foreigner can’t understand me because my pronunciation is different from ________ (她的).47．The documentary I am interested in ________ (描述) the beauty of nature. 48．Which of the following ________ (选择) fits Jane’s personality best?49．David read more books than we did ________ the Reading Week. （在……期间）五、根据首字母填空50．As a symbol of Chinese c________, Bing Dwen Dwen is very popular around the world.六、用所给单词的正确形式填空51．Pay attention to what I am saying because I won’t explain it a ________ time. (two) 52．Mr. Wu is kind and never gets ________ whenever we ask him for help. (patient) 53．He has made up his mind to devote all his life to ________ in the army. (serve) 54．Mr. Wu, I can’t understand the ancient poem ________. Could you explain it to me?（complete）55．In this country, all the ________ (win) medals are kept in the national museum.七、阅读回答问题Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people safe during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes happen, they become life-saving places.Many useful things in those special parks can meet people’s basic needs.For example, it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can get drinking water from the water pump (泵). If people need to use toilets (厕所), they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. Also, the helicopter (直升机) can land on squares or baseball fields and bring food or other things to people. What’s more, if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking things.However, those useful things are not enough for people to face earthquakes. The most important part lies in training people. The parks, together with fire stations and the police, will train with local people at the usual time. This will let people think and move faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.So, what can we do to protect ourselves from getting hurt in earthquakes? First, we need to check our furniture and make sure they won’t fall down easily. Second, when an earthquake happens, we need to stay under tables or desks and protect our head. Third, we can keep our door open and wear comfortable shoes during small earthquakes in order to get out safely.56．Why are there many special parks in Tokyo?________________________________________57．List three things that people can get in the special parks.________________________________________58．According to the passage, what is the most important to help people face earthquakes?________________________________________59．What is the last paragraph mainly about?________________________________________60．What should you do if an earthquake happens?________________________________________八、短文首字母填空根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。
