A
Inventions usually make a big difference to people's lives. Do you have any great inventions at home? Do they help you a lot in your life or bring you much fun? Here are some of the most useful inventions in families according to a survey.
The most helpful and creative invention for kids is the reading pen. With the specially-designed pen, kids find it convenient and fun to learn. Little kids can learn a lot including story-telling, poems and music. They start learning by touching the contents in the books with the pen. This way kids can learn by themselves. They are also great helpers for primary school students after school.
Mopping robots(扫地机)are popular with people who are too busy to do housework. They are more popular with office ladies. They can help people clean dirt,
dust and hair easily. With the help of them, people don't need to spend much time on housework. They can enjoy a more relaxing life after work.
As for old people, an electric foot basin (电动洗脚盆) is the best invention. It's a good choice to buy one for your grandparents. It can help keep their blood pressure normal and improve blood circulation (循环) . The special basin can keep the water warm. So washing feet with it will help old people become healthier and more relaxed.
56. It is ____ for kids to learn with the reading pen.
A. boring
B. convenient
C. difficult
D. painful
57. The three useful inventions are mainly used ____.

It is believed that Huck Finn is based on (基于)a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character(虚构的角色)on a real-life person.
Severus Snape / John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful wizard(巫师)teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher, ” he said. “But I don't think I am as bad as Snape! ” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice / Alice Liddell
Famously, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
Dill / Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, “Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived! ”

What comes to your mind when thinking about the Nobel Prize? “They must be about great things that we ordinary people don't have the chance to see, ” some of you will say. But in 2016, it showed the difference.
Three scientists from France, the UK and Holland won the Nobel Prize for
Chemistry. They made the world's smallest machines. They are a thousand times thinner than hair.
The invention will open a whole new world for us. Here's an example.
When we get sick, we go to the hospital and have lots of tests. The doctor needs to find out why we are sick. Thanks to this Nobel Prize winning research, doing that will be easier in the future.
A doctor could put a tiny robot into our body. It could search for the illness and send the medicine right there.
This year's winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine is from Japan. He also looks at small things. He found that cells (细胞) can break down old ones and use the useful parts to make new cells, or fight off viruses (病毒).
How smart our body is! Scientists hope this new finding could help prevent (预防) a lot of illness.
The Japanese scientist also gave some advice to the teenagers. “I'd like to tell young people that not all can be successful in science, but it's important to have a try, ” he said.
66. In 2016, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was given to ____.
A. those who worked on huge things
B. three scientists from France
C. the scientists who worked on hair
D. three scientists who worked on tiny machines

②Help them have lots of tests.
③Look for the illness in their body.
④Send the medicine right there.
A. ①②
B. ②③
C. ③④
D. ①④
68. Which of the following is NOT true about “self-eating” cells?
A. They can prevent lots of illness.
B. A Japanese scientist found them.
C. They can break down old cells.
D. They use the useful old parts to make new cells.
69. What suggestion did the Japanese scientist give to young people?

C. Don't work in science, because it's hard to succeed.
D. Sometimes it's better to give up in difficult situations.

Jed couldn't keep the tears from running down his face. His friend, Rob, wanted to help, but the more he talked about it, the worse Jed felt.
“I know how terrible you must feel, ” Rob said. “Everyone on the team thought the coach would choose you. He must be crazy to let Tom swim the breaststroke ( 蛙泳) ! ”
When the coach told him about the date and place of the state swimming meeting for boys of 15 and under, Jed was sure he would be swimming the breaststroke. He even told his family that the team couldn't win the event without him. When the coach chose Tom Timmons, the new boy from Spring-field, to swim the breaststroke, Jed could hardly believe it. Coach Robertson told Jed he could swim on the relay team, but that offered little consolation.
“I may leave the team, ” he told Rob. “I'd rather not swim at all than be on the relay team.”
“I don't know whether you should do that or not, ” Rob said. “We need you on the relay team. Of course, if you say you won't swim at all, the coach may change his mind and let you swim the breaststroke.”
Jed left Rob and headed towards home. He knew it would be embarrassing to have to tell his family and his friends that someone else would take his place. He
wondered if he should make up a story and tell his mom and dad that he asked the coach to put the new boy in. Jed didn't know what to do.
70. We can know from the reading that ____.
A. Rob failed to help Jed
B. Jed didn't want to swim the breaststroke at all
C. Tom would swim on the relay team
D. the coach chose both Jed and Tom for the breaststroke
71. The best title of this reading should be ____.
A. Too Good to Swim
B. It's Terrible to Be Out
C. The Coach and Jed
D. The Relay Team
72. If Jed really makes up a story, it might be that ____.
A. the coach thought Tom would do better
B. he was not good enough to swim
C. he wanted Tom to swim instead of him
D. his friend Rob wanted to swim

course, I do.” Because I think music is an important part of our life.
Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music best because it's so exciting. And my favorite rock band, the Doors, is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate Li Yang loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Kate, likes music that she can dance to.
“I like dance music and rock music very much, ” says my brother, “because they are amazing.”
But my mother thinks rock music is boring. “I like some relaxing music, ”
she says. That's why she likes country music, I think.

十、One possible version：
I have recently done a survey about how students find study partners.
Some students find study partners through the Internet. They believe it's convenient to find partners to study with online. Besides, they can get help from study partners whenever necessary.
Some students prefer to join clubs to find study partners so that they can share experience face to face. What's more, they think working out problems together helps learn more easily.
As for me, I'd like to get study partners by going to the summer camp because I can learn something new while having fun. Also, it's a good way to learn how to get on well with others.。
