Inventions make our life better, smarter and a bit more fun. TIME magazine in the US has picked the 100 best inventions of the year 2021. Let’s take a look at four of them!
Purrble helps you find calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what will you do? Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can also help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry, bear—like toy has 9 sensors. It has a quick “heartbeat”. It can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs(发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch!
Honey without bees
Usually, honey is made by bees. But now, humans can make honey, too. A company in the US used technological methods to turn nectar(花蜜) into honey. This kind of new honey tastes just like the real one. It is healthy, too. Bees may need to find a new job soon.
Less is more
This is Paper Shoot. It’s a camera made mostly out of paper! Paper Shoot works just like any other camera. But it is much lighter and smaller. It’s about 1.2 centimeters thick and 10 centimeters long. You can take it around easily and capture(抓住) the fun moments of your life. It only needs two batteries(电池) and can hold 800 pictures. But, be careful when you take photos on rainy days. Don’t get it wet !
Happy to be useful again
Hey, I’m a recycled Lego brick. I used to be a plastic bottle. Scientists found me in a trash can. They took me to a lab and turned me into a Lego brick. Lego uses 100,000 tons of plastic every year. Making new plastic is quite wasteful. But now they can use me. It’s better for our planet. Don’t worry. I’m clean and safe. You may see me in your Lego sets soon.

Many years ago, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Many years later, while I was driving to a nearby town one day. I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

C. Good manners bring about happiness.
D. People should offer free rides to others.

Whenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection (反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological (按时间先后顺序的) tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school—Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.

(1) ________ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange (排列) our books, and get on with them.

Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.
It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves.

When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable (轻便的) paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass (大量的) production, print runs were limited, and books were hardcover and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has continued to exist. Because of its history, it passes on a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardcover is a mark of quality ... it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor (主编) at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable (盈利的), publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce, ”Jones explains.
30. What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?
A. They attract real book-lovers.
B. They are heavy but not expensive.
C. They take a long time to come out.
D. They are not preferred by book-lovers.
31. The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. drop B. success C. blow D. increase
32. The hardcover books are still printed today because they ________.
A. are beautifully edited
B. are worth collecting
C. pass on correct information
D. sell better than paperbacks
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce hardcover books.
B. To present a new social finding.
C To explain a confusing problem.
D. To encourage people to read books.
【答案】30 A 31. D 32. B 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it.”可知，真正热爱书的人拿起一本光滑、闪亮的精装书是一件令人兴奋的事情，也就是精装书吸引了真正的图书爱好者。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ.”可知，大约在20世纪30年代，随大量平装书生产，加上在第二次世界大战前后，将阅读作为一种放松活动，可以判断从事该活动的人数应该是有了显著提升。划线单词“surge”应该是“增加”的意思。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,”可知，像影迷喜欢在大屏幕上看电影一样，收藏者也喜欢精装书的高品质，可判断精装书是值得收藏的。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?”为什么书籍首先以精装书的形式发行呢？文章主要就此现象解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是为了解释一个令人困惑问题。故选C。
四、阅读表达(每题2分，共10分)
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before hybrid vehicles (混合动力车) that use gasoline, electricity, and solar energy. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars?
Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside.They have very different parts under their hoods (引擎盖), though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.
Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about＄1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about 1.25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.
Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions (废气排放), making them more friendly to the environment, too.
While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favourable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电). Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.
An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged.Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient to power up as gas cars are.There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars.Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.
There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline carsIt’s good to know that there is an option.
34. What kind of cars are car companies making now?
________________
35. How many miles can electric cars travel on a full charge according to the passage?
________________
36. How long can it take up to charge when an electric car reaches a charging station?
________________
37. What benefits do electric cars have?
________________
38. Which do you like better, gas cars or electric cars? Why?
________________
【答案】34. They are making cars that are fully powered by electricity only.
35. Only 60 to 120 miles.
36. It can take up to six hours to charge.
37. They have fewer parts, which makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems, and they are energy efficient, cheaper to operate and more environmentally friendly.
38. I like electric cars, because they are environmentally friendly.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了电动汽车和汽油汽车的对比，阐述了他们的相似之处和不同之处以及优缺点。
【34题详解】
根据第一段“Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only.”可知，汽车公司现在正在生产完全由电力驱动的汽车。故填They are making cars that are fully powered by electricity only.
【35题详解】
根据第五段“some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge.”可知，一些电动汽车在充满电的情况下只能行驶60到120英里。故填Only 60 to 120 miles.
【36题详解】
根据第六段“Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.”可知，一旦电动汽车到达充电站，充电需要长达六个小时。故填It can take up to six hours to charge.
【37题详解】
根据第二段“Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.”，第三段“Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate.”和第四段“Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions (废气排放), making them more friendly to the environment, too.”可知，电动汽车零部件更少，维护成本更低，出现机械问题的可能性也更小。电动汽车是节能的，也使其运行成本更低。电动汽车没有尾气排放，因此对环境也更加友好。可知电动汽车零件少，维护成本低，出现问题可能性小，节能，成本低，并且环保。故填They have fewer parts, which makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems, and they are energy efficient, cheaper to operate and more environmentally friendly。
【38题详解】

Inventions make our life better, smarter and a bit more fun. TIME magazine in the US has picked the 100 best inventions of the year 2021. Let’s take a look at four of them!
Purrble helps you find calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what will you do? Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can also help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry, bear—like toy has 9 sensors. It has a quick “heartbeat”. It can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs(发出咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch!
Honey without bees
Usually, honey is made by bees. But now, humans can make honey, too. A company in the US used technological methods to turn nectar(花蜜) into honey. This kind of new honey tastes just like the real one. It is healthy, too. Bees may need to find a new job soon.
Less is more
This is Paper Shoot. It’s a camera made mostly out of paper! Paper Shoot works just like any other camera. But it is much lighter and smaller. It’s about 1.2 centimeters thick and 10 centimeters long. You can take it around easily and capture(抓住) the fun moments of your life. It only needs two batteries(电池) and can hold 800 pictures. But, be careful when you take photos on rainy days. Don’t get it wet !
Happy to be useful again
Hey, I’m a recycled Lego brick. I used to be a plastic bottle. Scientists found me in a trash can. They took me to a lab and turned me into a Lego brick. Lego uses 100,000 tons of plastic every year. Making new plastic is quite wasteful. But now they can use me. It’s better for our planet. Don’t worry. I’m clean and safe. You may see me in your Lego sets soon.

Many years ago, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Many years later, while I was driving to a nearby town one day. I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

Whenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection (反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological (按时间先后顺序的) tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school—Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange.

Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.
It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves.

When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable (轻便的) paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass (大量的) production, print runs were limited, and books were hardcover and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has continued to exist. Because of its history, it passes on a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardcover is a mark of quality ... it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor (主编) at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable (盈利的), publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce, ”Jones explains.
30. What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?
A. They attract real book-lovers.
B. They are heavy but not expensive.
C. They take a long time to come out.
D. They are not preferred by book-lovers.
31. The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. drop B. success C. blow D. increase
32. The hardcover books are still printed today because they ________.
A. are beautifully edited
B. are worth collecting
C. pass on correct information
D. sell better than paperbacks
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce hardcover books.
B. To present a new social finding.
C To explain a confusing problem.
D. To encourage people to read books.
【答案】30 A 31. D 32. B 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it.”可知，真正热爱书的人拿起一本光滑、闪亮的精装书是一件令人兴奋的事情，也就是精装书吸引了真正的图书爱好者。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ.”可知，大约在20世纪30年代，随大量平装书生产，加上在第二次世界大战前后，将阅读作为一种放松活动，可以判断从事该活动的人数应该是有了显著提升。划线单词“surge”应该是“增加”的意思。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,”可知，像影迷喜欢在大屏幕上看电影一样，收藏者也喜欢精装书的高品质，可判断精装书是值得收藏的。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?”为什么书籍首先以精装书的形式发行呢？文章主要就此现象解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是为了解释一个令人困惑问题。故选C。
四、阅读表达(每题2分，共10分)
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before hybrid vehicles (混合动力车) that use gasoline, electricity, and solar energy. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars?
Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside.They have very different parts under their hoods (引擎盖), though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.
Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about＄1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about 1.25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.
Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions (废气排放), making them more friendly to the environment, too.
While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favourable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电). Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.
An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged.Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient to power up as gas cars are.There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars.Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.
There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline carsIt’s good to know that there is an option.

It was written by Cao Xueqin, a famous novelist of Qing dynasty. Dream of the Red Chamber is one of the four masterpieces of novels in China. With the thriving and declining of four noble families as the background, it tells the love story between Jia Baoyu and Lindaiyu.
