The movie tells the story of a man named Wang Duoyu, who is poor. Then he will become very 12 overnight because his grandfather promises to give him 30 billion yuan.

A
What’s going to happen in the future Will robots control our planet Will computers become smarter than us Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 — 30 years from now, according to the BBC．Bionic (仿生的) Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.Digital Money
We used to pay with cash (现金) for everything we bought. Now we can use WeChat Pay or Alipay to shop. Money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
21．Bionic eyes send information to the ________.
A．mind B．camera C．computer D．heart
22．Which of the following payments is NOT mentioned in this passage
A．Cash. B．WeChat Pay. C．Alipay. D．Credit card.
23．From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A．industry and farming B．traffic and journey
C．science and technology D．culture and art
24．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films.
B．The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
C．Self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside.
D．There will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
25．What can we infer from the passage
A．There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.
B．Robots would control the world.
C．The blind could use glasses to see things around.
D．We would live a hard life with digital money.
B
Cai Lun invented paper around 2,000 years ago in China. It is an important invention. Before the invention of paper, people had to remember lots of information or write it on stone, wood, leaves, etc.

People use paper every day. Students do homework and keep a diary on paper. Paper is a great invention.

In your school, are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn Of course, the answer is “No” here in China.
In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida, students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college, while others will not.

They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree. They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future.

Have you ever wondered how blind people read Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read.
In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 41 Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people.
When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 42 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.
Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点)system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 43
Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 44 Blind people could read much faster and more easily.
Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 45
A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger.
B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille.
C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people.
D．However, this was slow and difficult.
E．Braille thought that the 12-dot system was a perfect choice for the blind.
F．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing.

In 1968, Spencer Silver, a scientist at the 3M company (公司) in the United States, was trying to make a strong glue. 56 , he actually invented a very weak glue. The glue could stick (粘贴) things together, but they could 57 (divide) by people easily.
Silver showed the 58 (invent) to his company’s management, and they weren’t interested. They didn’t see a use for it. Five years later, Art Fry, 59 scientist at 3M, was singing in a choir (唱诗班).
The notes that he put in his songbook were always falling out whenever he opened the book. He was thinking about the problem. 60 (sudden), he remembered Silver’s glue, and had the idea 61 (use) it on his notes. The weak glue worked. Fry could stick the notes on the pages and easily take them off again. He made more 62 (note) like that and gave them to people around him in his company, and the notes’ 63 (popular) increased rapidly. Finally, 3M decided to make the new product.
In 1980, Post-it notes (便利贴) were sold in stores across the United States. Today the whole world uses Post-it notes. Most people do not realize that it was just an 64 (accident) success: Silver and Fry were trying to solve two different problems, and Fry saw the 65 (connect). Thanks to Silver and Fry, we now have a product that we can’t live without!

E请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered how blind people read Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read.
In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 41 Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people.
When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 42 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.
Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点)system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 43
Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 44 Blind people could read much faster and more easily.
Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 45
A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger.
B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille.
C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people.
D．However, this was slow and difficult.
E．Braille thought that the 12-dot system was a perfect choice for the blind.
F．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing.

In 1968, Spencer Silver, a scientist at the 3M company (公司) in the United States, was trying to make a strong glue. 56 , he actually invented a very weak glue. The glue could stick (粘贴) things together, but they could 57 (divide) by people easily.
Silver showed the 58 (invent) to his company’s management, and they weren’t interested. They didn’t see a use for it. Five years later, Art Fry, 59 scientist at 3M, was singing in a choir (唱诗班).
The notes that he put in his songbook were always falling out whenever he opened the book. He was thinking about the problem. 60 (sudden), he remembered Silver’s glue, and had the idea 61 (use) it on his notes. The weak glue worked. Fry could stick the notes on the pages and easily take them off again.

Safety rules at school
Hello, everyone! It’s important for us to keep safe at school. To be safe, we must follow these rules at school.
First, don’t crowd when we go upstairs or downstairs, or we may hurt ourselves by falling off steps. Second, we are not allowed to throw rubbish out of the windows of tall buildings. Third, we mustn’t use sharp things like knives when we play with our classmates. Fourth, smoking and drinking are not allowed at school, either. They’re bad for our health. Last, we should be friendly to our teachers and classmates. Don’t fight with our classmates.
Remember these rules, and we’ll be safe at school.
That’s all. Thank you!
