Richard:Thank you.[2]It’s a pleasure to be here. Interviewer:I guess you have been asked about the title of yourbook before.[3]It suggests that the present① day is a new age forinventions, but many people might think that the great age of invention isover. Richard:Well, that’s an interesting point②.[4]There have beengolden ages of invention throughout history.Think of③ the four greatinventions in Ancient China:gunpowder④, papermaking, printing andthe compass⑤.These things changed the world forever.Then there werethe great Western inventions:the steam engine, the telephone and theradio.And now, we [5]find ourselves in the great new age oftechnology.

Richard:Yes, I am, but I’m only one member of a big team —most inventors now work as part of big international teams. Interviewer:I see .So [8]what is it that inspires us to inventthings? Richard:Most inventions start with recognising a problem [9]thatneeds a solution.This was no doubt the reason behind the invention ofthe wheel in ancient times, [10]which much later developed into thecar.Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution haveled to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles.But[11]what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to thinkand create, and that’s the real spirit of invention. Interviewer:One last question.This is [12]the one everyone reallywants to know:will anybody ever invent a time machine? Richard:I think [13]you’ve been watching too many movies!Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long wayfrom an invention like that at the moment!But, as they say, “Neversay never !” [8]強調句的特殊疑問句形式:疑問詞+is/was+it+that ...?

The project usedaugmented reality (增強現實), or AR, to recreate temples andcompetition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. The project lasted forabout 18 months with a series of imaging flights to help map areas acrossOlympia. It was recently launched in the city, one of the world’s majorarchaeological (考古的) sites. Augmented reality is a technology thatcan project computer-created images onto special eyeglasses. Through theeyeglasses, the images appear along with other physical objects in theenvironment. The project is a partnership between American software makerMicrosoft and Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helpedMicrosoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia. The city wasused for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece thatserved as the model for the modern Olympics. “It’s a milestone. Thathelped us bring technology and culture and history together so we canpreserve it,” Microsoft President Brad Smith said. The experienceprovides users with the chance to virtually walk through the ruins ofOlympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens, people can also useMicrosoft’s AR headsets for a similar experience. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined a group ofschoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. “I’mabsolutely excited that we’re able to present to the world a completelynew cultural experience using technology to recreate the ancient world ofOlympia,” Mitsotakis told The Associated Press. Students from a localmiddle school looked at statues and buildings that were brought to life ontheir phones. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings toexplore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports.One of the children, Panagiotis Christopoulos, called the project“impressive”. “I think it can help with teaching in schools.” thestudent said.語篇解讀:本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了希臘政府與微軟公司合作,通過AR技術讓游客體驗奧運會的發源地。語篇解讀:本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了希臘政府與微軟公司合作,通過AR技術讓游客體驗奧運會的發源地。1.

Acknowledged asthe world’s first, the train created by Siemens Mobility and DeutscheBahn (DB) officially went into service in December. This is part of a large modernization project for the city’s S-Bahnurban rail. There were no changes to the tracks, as the autonomous (自動的) trains run on the same network as the current trains that havedrivers operating them. “The railroad has arrived in the digital future and Digital Rail forGermany may become a reality. With automated rail operations, we canoffer our passengers a significantly expanded and improved service,”said Dr Richard Lutz, CEO of DB. “The new trains can transport up to30 per cent more passengers and operate on time, and they will be moreenergy-efficient. They are also encouraged for environmental protectionreasons.” The trains receive signals via radios. There will be drivers presentwhen there are passengers on board but they will only supervise (監督)the run and the passengers. There are now plans to digitize Hamburg’s S-Bahn system entirely by the end of the decade and the government hasalready decided to put money into new trains and infrastructureimprovements. Autonomous transportation technology is being used in taxis byWaymo, which started as the Google self-driving project in 2009. Othercompanies that are working on driverless cars include Tesla, GM,Nissan, and Zoox. These cars have to find their ways on roads with thehelp of GPS technology but driving on a track is much simpler and safer.“The new technology has already been officially approved and, since itfeatures open interfaces (接口), it can immediately be used byoperators worldwide for all types of trains,” said Dr Roland Busch,CEO of Siemens AG. Maybe it’s time for the new autonomous revolution.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了數字技術的發展促進了德國無人駕駛火車投入運營。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了數字技術的發展促進了德國無人駕駛火車投入運營。5.

The new crystal filmscreated by Qingchen Shen’s team get cooler than the air around themwhen exposed to sunlight. Shen studies materials science at the Universityof Cambridge. This cooling method has a long name: passive daytime radiative(輻射的) cooling.Shen’s team didn’t invent the process. Othermaterials do it too. But until now, only white or mirrored surfaces didthis. Such surfaces reflect a lot of light, keeping that light from heatingthe surface. Now, Shen’s team has figured out a way to make colourfulpassive-cooling surfaces. “We can produce red, green and blue,”says Shen. “The film has two layers.The top one is crystallized cellulose (纖維素), which provides the colour.Different crystal patterns producedifferent colours. A different form of cellulose — ethyl cellulose — makesup the bottom layer.This layer scatters (分散) all the light that leaks(漏) through the top layer.Both layers help the film release heat intospace. The two-layer approach is what makes this work unique,” saysLucian Lucia, an expert on biomaterials. “The Cambridge team,” hesays, “achieved a fairly remarkable and simple approach towardcooling.” The team made the films one layer at a time. First, they dried awatery mix of ethyl cellulose into thin sheets. Then they spread a thinlayer of cellulose crystals in water atop this, like icing a cake. As that“icing” dried, its crystals linked up to form the colourful top layer.Slight variations in crystal shape will produce different patterns — andcolours. Under sunlight, the films cooled to 4 ℃ below the air temperature.At night, the temperature difference was 9 ℃. Even better, Shen’steam worked out how to make the films in large amounts, which is veryimportant for their work, notes Ran Zheng, a researcher studyingmaterials science. Such large-scale production makes this invention morelikely to get used in real life, he explains. If used to help keep buildingscool in the summer sun, he notes, these coatings might cut the need forair conditioning.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。劍橋大學研究人員研發出了一種具有降溫效果的彩色薄膜。語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。劍橋大學研究人員研發出了一種具有降溫效果的彩色薄膜。9.

The project used augmented reality (增強現實), or AR, to recreate temples and competition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. The project lasted for about 18 months with a series of imaging flights to help map areas across Olympia. It was recently launched in the city, one of the world’s major archaeological (考古的) sites. Augmented reality is a technology that can project computer-created images onto special eyeglasses. Through the eyeglasses, the images appear along with other physical objects in the environment. The project is a partnership between American software maker Microsoft and Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helped Microsoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia. The city was used for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece that served as the model for the modern Olympics. “It’s a milestone. That helped us bring technology and culture and history together so we can preserve it,” Microsoft President Brad Smith said. The experience provides users with the chance to virtually walk through the ruins of Olympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens, people can also use Microsoft’s AR headsets for a similar experience. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined a group of schoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. “I’m absolutely excited that we’re able to present to the world a completely new cultural experience using technology to recreate the ancient world of Olympia,” Mitsotakis told The Associated Press. Students from a local middle school looked at statues and buildings that were brought to life on their phones. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings to explore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports. One of the children, Panagiotis Christopoulos, called the project “impressive”. “I think it can help with teaching in schools.” the student said.1.What’s the function of the special eyeglasses?( ?。?br/>A.Producing impressive images.B.Changing colours of some objects.C.Making the environment look clearer.D.Combining the virtual world with the real one.2.How did Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sport help with the project?( )A.By raising money for it.B.By promoting and advertising it.C.By offering virtual representations of Olympia.D.By hosting different kinds of games in Olympia.3.What is Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ attitude to the project?( ?。?br/>A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Unconcerned. D.Cautious.4.What can be the best title for the text?( ?。?br/>A.Digital Project Brings Olympics Birthplace to LifeB.A Technology Project Is Helping Build Modern OlympiaC.The Development and Application of AR in GreeceD.A Good Combination of Modern and Ancient CulturesB A driverless train took its first trip around Hamburg, Germany in 2021 and may greatly improve transportation in the city. Acknowledged as the world’s first, the train created by Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn (DB) officially went into service in December. This is part of a large modernization project for the city’s S-Bahn urban rail. There were no changes to the tracks, as the autonomous (自動的) trains run on the same network as the current trains that have drivers operating them. “The railroad has arrived in the digital future and Digital Rail for Germany may become a reality. With automated rail operations, we can offer our passengers a significantly expanded and improved service,” said Dr Richard Lutz, CEO of DB.“The new trains can transport up to 30 per cent more passengers and operate on time, and they will be more energy-efficient. They are also encouraged for environmental protection reasons.” The trains receive signals via radios. There will be drivers present when there are passengers on board but they will only supervise (監督) the run and the passengers. There are now plans to digitize Hamburg’s S-Bahn system entirely by the end of the decade and the government has already decided to put money into new trains and infrastructure improvements. Autonomous transportation technology is being used in taxis by Waymo, which started as the Google self-driving project in 2009. Other companies that are working on driverless cars include Tesla, GM, Nissan, and Zoox. These cars have to find their ways on roads with the help of GPS technology but driving on a track is much simpler and safer. “The new technology has already been officially approved and, since it features open interfaces (接口), it can immediately be used by operators worldwide for all types of trains,” said Dr Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG. Maybe it’s time for the new autonomous revolution.5.What’s special about the new trains created by Siemens Mobility and DB?( )A.They share tracks with traditional ones.B.They use new driverless track systems.C.They make long-distance trips much safer.D.They still require human drivers’ operation.6.What does Dr Richard Lutz mainly want to express in Paragraph 3?( ?。?br/>A.The new trains greatly change the German lifestyle.B.The digital railroad is spoken highly of by passengers.C.The new trains benefit both people and the environment.D.The digital railroad has promoted the development of tourism.7.What’s the government’s attitude to the development of the new digital technology?( )A.Worried. B.Favorable.C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.8.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?( ?。?br/>A.Operators have responsibility for ensuring fully autonomous driving.B.Germany’s design of trains needs to be further improved.C.American companies see an increasing demand for self-driving taxis.D.The digital technology has a big potential market.C As summer heats up, future homes may cool down, thanks to coatings of brightly coloured nanocrystals (納米晶體).Normal coatings, such as paint, heat up in the sun. The new crystal films created by Qingchen Shen’s team get cooler than the air around them when exposed to sunlight. Shen studies materials science at the University of Cambridge. This cooling method has a long name: passive daytime radiative (輻射的) cooling.Shen’s team didn’t invent the process. Other materials do it too. But until now, only white or mirrored surfaces did this. Such surfaces reflect a lot of light, keeping that light from heating the surface. Now, Shen’s team has figured out a way to make colourful passive-cooling surfaces. “We can produce red, green and blue,” says Shen. “The film has two layers.The top one is crystallized cellulose (纖維素), which provides the colour.Different crystal patterns produce different colours. A different form of cellulose — ethyl cellulose — makes up the bottom layer.This layer scatters (分散) all the light that leaks (漏) through the top layer.Both layers help the film release heat into space. The two-layer approach is what makes this work unique,” says Lucian Lucia, an expert on biomaterials. “The Cambridge team,” he says, “achieved a fairly remarkable and simple approach toward cooling.” The team made the films one layer at a time. First, they dried a watery mix of ethyl cellulose into thin sheets. Then they spread a thin layer of cellulose crystals in water atop this, like icing a cake. As that “icing” dried, its crystals linked up to form the colourful top layer. Slight variations in crystal shape will produce different patterns — and colours. Under sunlight, the films cooled to 4 ℃ below the air temperature. At night, the temperature difference was 9 ℃. Even better, Shen’s team worked out how to make the films in large amounts, which is very important for their work, notes Ran Zheng, a researcher studying materials science. Such large-scale production makes this invention more likely to get used in real life, he explains. If used to help keep buildings cool in the summer sun, he notes, these coatings might cut the need for air conditioning.9.What can be learned about the films developed by Shen’s team?( ?。?br/>A.They are unique in their cooling method. B.They come in different colours.C.They take in a lot of sunlight. D.They heat up in the sun.10.What is Lucian Lucia’s attitude toward the films?( ?。?br/>A.Tolerant. B.Curious.C.Positive. D.Careful.11.What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on?( )A.How the films are made.B.How the films release heat.C.Why the two-layer structure is efficient.D.Why the two-layer structure has different patterns.12.What do Ran Zheng’s words tell us about the films?( ?。?br/>A.They have been welcomed on the market.B.Their potential application is uncertain.C.They are important for his work.D.Their future is promising.Ⅱ.閱讀七選五 It’s a winter morning in 2032.

Richard:Thank you.[2]It’s a pleasure to be here. Interviewer:I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before.[3]It suggests that the present① day is a new age for inventions, but many people might think that the great age of invention is over. Richard:Well, that’s an interesting point②.[4]There have been golden ages of invention throughout history.Think of③ the four great inventions in Ancient China:gunpowder④, papermaking, printing and the compass⑤.These things changed the world forever.Then there were the great Western inventions:the steam engine, the telephone and the radio.And now, we [5]find ourselves in the great new age of technology.

Richard:A lot, yes.For example, advances in virtual reality⑥ and wearable tech⑦, as well as⑧ the flexible⑨ battery⑩, mean we should soon be seeing further developments .In addition , important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to increasing computer power . Interviewer:Can you give us some examples ? Richard:Sure.New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts.In terms of the environment, [6]it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house.It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places, [7]with computing technology controlling its “legs”.What’s more , huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly , too. [6]it is possible to do sth做某事是可能的。 [7]with的復合結構作狀語。computing technology為賓語,controlling its “legs”為動詞-ing短語作賓語補足語。 Interviewer:Impressive stuff !I’ve also been told that you’re an inventor yourself.Is that correct? Richard:Yes, I am, but I’m only one member of a big team — most inventors now work as part of big international teams. Interviewer:I see .So [8]what is it that inspires us to invent things? Richard:Most inventions start with recognising a problem [9]that needs a solution.This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, [10]which much later developed into the car.Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles.But [11]what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that’s the real spirit of invention. Interviewer:One last question.This is [12]the one everyone really wants to know:will anybody ever invent a time machine? Richard:I think [13]you’ve been watching too many movies!Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long way from an invention like that at the moment!But, as they say, “Never say never !” [8]強調句的特殊疑問句形式:疑問詞+is/was+it+that ...?
