【推荐1】Many people begin to use pencils from an early age. There are many kinds of pencils: some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils?
Many years ago, people in Egypt used lead (铅) to write. Now pencils are made from graphite (石墨) instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. At first, people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it.
In 1565, Conrad Gesner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldn’t get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay (粘土).
In 1812, William Munroe made the first American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.

【推荐3】We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI). This is an area where scientists are working on making machines that think like humans.
However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. “The development of artificial intelligence could spell (预言) the end of human.” He said so just after using the machine made for him. As Hawking has a serious illness called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking fears the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. We can see on TV some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (生物进化),” said Hawking. But not everyone holds the same idea towards AI technology. “I believe we can make good use of the technology for a long time. It will help us to solve many problems in the future,” said Rollo Carpenter, CEO of Cleverbot in the UK.
In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【推荐1】Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user's position (位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates (计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
1. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people ________.| A．can't be lost in a new city |
| B．can't find their way in different countries |
| C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place |
| D．can spend the least time getting to another place |
| A．there are three parts to the GPS | B．a GPS can't be put into a watch |
| C．a GPS can help you start your car | D．the GPS are becoming more and more expensive |
| A．Receivers | B．GPS devices | C．Satellites | D．Ground stations |
| A．the history of the GPS | B．the introduction of the GPS |
| C．the shape of the GPS | D．the three parts of the GPS |
| A．All GPS devices have electronic maps. |
| B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free. |
| C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. |
| D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life. |
【推荐2】Teenagers are advised to get eight to ten hours of sleep each night. However, most of them fail to get enough sleep because of heavy schoolwork. And plenty of young people are experiencing a sleep problem, which increases their risk of mental ill-health (精神健康状况不佳) .

It will also give them a warning to start a pre-bed habit. Seeing the warning, they’d better take a hot shower, brush teeth and get ready for sleep.
Besides, the app offers other useful ways to teenagers to help them get into a sleep habit. For example, it shows them how to set their things up in the bedroom, how to reduce terrible thoughts at night and what to do during the day to improve their sleep.

【推荐3】Have you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works.
Two of the team's works took home the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition. It was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme "China's New Era (时代) ". The other work was an ancient Chinese palace. They sent the work as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.
The team members learned how to print in their school's 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D printed items, they first draw a blueprint (蓝图) . Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and assemble (组装) them, as Liu Songyuan, 14, said.
But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme "China's New Era", they printed out items standing for high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.
When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that stood for traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired (启迪) by a trip to the palace Museum. "When we saw the buildings there, we thought 'That's it!" said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic (逼真的) . "We will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things, "Zhang added.
1. How many students are there in the team?| A．8. | B．2. | C．6. | D．7. |
| A．Russia. | B．The UK. | C．China. | D．France |
| A．Twice a week | B．Once a week. | C．Once a month. | D．Three times a week. |
① They use a computer to design models of the pieces they need.
② They use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and assemble them.
③ They draw a blueprint.
| A．①②③ | B．②③① | C．③①② | D．③②① |
| A．if you know how to use the tools, you can master 3-D printing |
| B．it's still a long way for the students to make creative and realistic 3-D works |
| C．it's easy for the students to make a 3-D-printed work |
| D．both of the works stood for China's traditional culture |
