Would you be able to go through a whole day without using a light bulb? Most people probably wouldn’t. Today, almost every building uses light bulbs as their main light source. Although we use them daily without much thought, light bulbs wer e once a costly and the newest technology. A lot of people’s hard work led to the light bulb’s invention, which has impacted our lives greatly.
The first light bulbs were glass containers that release light when an electric current heated a part inside called a filament (灯丝). Electric light bulbs are also known as incandescent (白炽) light bulbs. These days, we use energy-saving bulbs that are better for the environment. Nick Holonyak, Jr., an American engineer, invented the first light-emitting diode light (LED) in 1962. An LED light bulb uses one-third the electricity as an incandescent light and lasts far longer. In 1802, a British scientist named Humphry Davy created the first electric light. Then, in 1835, other British scientists created the first constant stream of electric light, although the light didn’t shine very long. In the following decades, scientists experimented with light bulb filaments made of different types of materials, hoping to create a longer stream
of electric light. In 1860, Joseph Swan found a material that produced a good light, but it burned out quickly. By this time, none of the light bulbs created were ready to be sold to the public for everyday use. Then, in 1878, Thomas Edison made more progress. He spent a lot of time researching what previous scientists had done. He and his team spent years experimenting with light bulb filaments. They eventually created the first light bulb that could release constant electric light for 1,200 hours. Edison immediately patented (取得专利) his light bulb design so that light bulbs could be produced and sold.
Light bulbs were safer and more convenient to use than oil lamps and candles. Increased use of light bulbs resulted in people being able to have a longer work day, so the average work day increased. Light bulbs also led to changes in building designs. Architects created windowless buildings, and lights could be placed in elevators and other new places. 1．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that light bulbs were _______ in the past.
A．common B．expensive C．hard D．great
2．According to the passage, which one invented the first electric light bulbs?
A．Nick Holonyak. B．Humphry Davy.
C．Joseph Swan. D．Thomas Edison.
3．According to the passage, what was the main problem in improving light bulbs?
A．There was not enough money and engineering support.
B．There were no materials that could be used to save power.
C．Scientists from different countries couldn’t work together.
D．It was hard to find a filament material that shone long.
4．According to the passage, which of the following statements in TRUE?
A．Light bulbs were as convenient as candles and oil lamps.
B．Edison made it possible to sell light bulbs to the public.
C．LED can save more power and make peo ple’s work time longer.
D．Light bulbs make people stay in windowless rooms on work days.
5．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．The invention we depend on.
B．The great inventers.
C．The history of science and technology.
D．What changes building designs?

14、Building Kids’ Fun
Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Snow White and Winnie the Pooh...every kid dreams of the day they’ll get to visit these famous characters, and ,most important of all, the magical world of a Disney theme park. And five very lucky kids get to experience all the excitement as often as they’d like in their grandpa’s backyard—no waiting in lines necessary.
A Fullerton, California grandfather was inspired to create something so fun in his own backyard that his grandkids would always want to visit.
Steve Dobbs, 68, said his grandchildren got easily bored with a toy train that he got them to play with in his backyard. Lucky for them, he happened to be an amazing aerospace engineer(航空工程师).
“My younger grandkids are nuts about Disneyland,” Dobbs told The Orange County Register website.” I wanted to give them a reason to come over to my house to spend time with me, and Disneyland is tough to compete with.”
It all started with a “Small World” themed ride and it’s only grown from there over time. The mini th eme park is
full of the same kind of princesses, castles(城堡), trains and tunnels(隧道) you’ll see at the actual Disneyland park, which happens to be not too far from the Fullerton home.
It’s now complete with attractions inspired by Disney movie favorites su ch as Finding Nemo and Frozen.
And as the kids got older, their grandpa was sure to provide them with the full theme for a roller coaster(过山车). Dobbs is a professor at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and he asked his students to help him build the ride.
All in all, the theme park has cost him about $6500(43470yuan) but it’s well worth it. “It’s an old man’s hobby,” Dobbs said.
But to his family, it’s so much more than that.
“Dobbsland might be miniature(微型的) in size, but it’s huge in the hearts of our family and friends,” Dobbs’ daughter Cori Linder wrote in a blog for the Babble website. “The best part about Dobbsland? Getting in is free”. 1．Steve Dobbs built a park in his backyard because __________
A．he wanted to create a magical world that was better than Disneyland
B．.his grandchildren would want to pay him more visits
C．his grandchildren asked him to build it for them to play in
D．he wanted to show his talents as an aerospace engineer
2．What does Dobbs mean by saying “My younger grandkids are nuts about Disneyland”?
A．His younger grandkids are foolish for loving Disneyland.
B．His younger grandkids get bored with Disneyland.
C．His younger grandkids really love Disneyland.
D．His younger grandkids have never been to Disneyland.
3．Which of t he following statements is TRUE about the grandfather’s theme park?
A．It started with a roller coaster.
B．It is only open to family members.
C．It was built by the grandfather with the help of his students.
D．It is located in an area where there is no Disney theme park.
4．What’s the most important thing about the backyard theme park?
A．Dobbs has tried out his grandchildren’s inspirations.
B．Dobbs is proud to have turned his hobby into something huge.
C．Admission is free for Dobbs’ family.
D．It is highly valu ed by Dobbs’ family and friends.
15、From China to the United States, facial recognition technology is being used and tested like this at the Los Angeles International Airport. This pilot program that takes a picture of the passenger and compares it to the passport picture, is just one way facial recognition technology can be used for safety. The facial recognition technology can also be used for surveillance（监视）and for the commercial use（商业用途）.
Great achievements have been made in facial recognition technology in recent years.
The technology is used to identify a missing child. Computers are finally fast enough to process all the data that we need to process. Machines can now match faces even when the lighting isn't good or when a full shot of the face is not available. a side shot or moving image of the face may be enough for artificial intelligence to make a match.
Face first is one of many companies developing facial recognition software with endless possible uses. Try to imagine that everyday items that we have such as our house keys, our car keys, our ATM cards, our passwords are all starting to go away and instead, We’re going to be using facial recognition, Smart phones, of course are now using facial recognition. Laptops have facial recognition on them.
The ability to get an image of a person without permission comes with privacy worries.
“My biggest worry is actually not the government, it’s the big companies where there are really no limits on how they can share data, what they can use it for, how they can use it.”
Facial recognition researchers say some social rules should be created to guide the use of this technology, so it can be used safely to do good to society.
1．Where does the passage probably come from?
A．A guide book. B．A science report.
C．A fashion magazine. D．A novel.
2．From the first paragraph, we learn that the facial recognition technology is used ______.
A．in all the airports in America.
B．only for safety
C．for safety, surveillance and commercial use
D．in the airports in China
3．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The recognition technology is perfect.
B．The recognition technology has made a lot of achievements.
C．The recognition technology has caused some privacy worries.
D．The use of facial recognition technology will increase if it improves.
16、We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy.” or“You’re a lucky gal.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Ma ybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person tal king. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.
1．The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ___________________.
A．feels happy because his friends were nice to him
B．feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly
C．thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend Helen
D．is sorry that his friends let him down
2．From the example “Y ou’re a lucky dog”, we can learn that ______________.
A．the speaker of the sentence is friendly
B．it means the same as “You’re a lucky guy.” or “Y ou’re a lucky gal.”
C．sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the words
D．the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to describe a person
3．The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.
A．avoid mistakes about money and friends
B．bring the “dog” bit into our co nversation
C．be friendly to other people
D．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
4．What is important in listening to a person?
A．To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.
B．To listen to how he pronounces his words.
C．To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.
D．Don’t believe what he says.
5．If you follow the writer’s advice, you would ____________.
A．be able to get the real meaning of people’s words
B．avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy you
C．not lose real friends who say things that do not please you
D．be able to observe people as they are talking to you

17、Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her … until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelop(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read：
Dear Huw，
I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but …Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw：
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read：
After all these years, but I've just found your letter to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened. Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said,
“__▲__，my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyways, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do.
I am still Megan Jenkins, and I will live at the same address.
Best wishes，
Megan
Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had travelled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again …

18、It is most difficult for parents to decide whether to have a second child or not.
It is often heard that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK.
In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.
For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don’t have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around $160,000.
1．According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?
A．Because his parents don’t love him.
B．Because he doesn’t have holidays.
C．Because he doesn’t have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.
D．Because there are other children in the family.
2．What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph?
A．压倒一切的B．宽松的C．流行的D．充足的
3．Why don’t parents choose to have a second child?
A．The cost of supporting a child is so high.
B．Parents are too busy working every day to share their time and energy with more children.
C．Some parents can’t still get their first child’s agreement.
D．Both A and B．
