The New Age of Invention
Interviewer：Good evening，and welcome to Between the Pages．This evening，I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst，whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published[1]．Welcome，Richard!
[1]whose引导非限制性定语从句，whose在从句中作定语。
Richard：Thank you．It's a pleasure to be here．[2]
[2]it在句中作形式主语，不定式短语to be here是真正的主语。
Interviewer：I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before．It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions[3]，but many people might think that the great age of invention is over．
[3]此处that引导宾语从句，由于suggest意为“表明”，故从句用的是陈述语气而非虚拟语气。
Richard：Well，that's an interesting point．There have been golden ages① of invention throughout history②．Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China：gunpowder③，papermaking，printing and the compass④．These things changed the world forever．Then there were the great Western inventions：the steam engine，the telephone and the radio．And now，we find ourselves in the great new age of technology．[4]
[4]此处为句式“find＋oneself...”意为“发现自己……”。
Interviewer：So are most of the new great inventions tech-based⑤？
Richard：A lot，yes．For example，advances in virtual reality⑥ and wearable tech⑦，as well as the flexible⑧ battery⑨，mean we should soon be seeing further developments．In addition⑩，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，it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house．It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places，with computing technology controlling its “legs”[5]．What's more ，huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly ，too．
[5]此处是“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”的复合结构，在句中作状语。
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 what is it that inspires us to invent things？[6]
[6]此处为强调句型的特殊疑问句，其构成为“疑问词＋is/was＋it＋that＋句子其余部分？”
Richard：Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution[7]．This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times，which much later developed into the car[8]．Now，reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles ．But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create，and that's the real spirit of invention[9]．
[7]that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a problem，that在从句中作主语。
[8]which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the wheel，which在从句中作主语。
[9]what remains important是what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语；that we have...and create是that引导的表语从句，that在句中不作成分。
Interviewer：One last question．This is the one everyone really wants to know：will anybody ever invent a time machine
Richard：I think 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[10]，“Never say never ！”
[10]as引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作say的宾语。
新发明时代
采访人：晚上好，欢迎来到《字里行间》。今晚的嘉宾是理查德·费尔赫斯特博士，他的新书《新发明时代》刚刚出版。欢迎您，理查德！
理查德：谢谢！很高兴能来到这里。
采访人：我猜已经有人就书名向您提问了。书名提示现在是发明创造的新时代，但可能很多人都认为辉煌的发明时代已经结束了。
理查德：嗯，这个观点很有意思。纵观历史，我们经历过很多发明创造的黄金时代。想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针。它们永远地改变了世界。而后西方也出现了蒸汽机、电话、广播等伟大的发明。而现在，我们自己正处于伟大的科技新时代。
采访人：所以大多数伟大的新发明都是科技产品吗？
理查德：是的，很多都是。比如说，虚拟现实、可穿戴科技设备与柔性电池技术的进步意味着我们很快会看到更多相关领域的产品研发。此外，得益于不断强化的计算机能力，医药与环境科学也取得了重要进展。
采访人：您能给我们举几个例子吗？
理查德：当然可以。3D打印机之类的新发明已经应用于制作移植心脏与部分骨骼。在环境领域，建造智能可移动房屋现在已成为可能。它能依靠全球定位系统技术四处移动，计算机技术则控制着它的“双腿”。此外，太阳能技术的巨大进步也意味着它可以很环保。
采访人：真是了不起的发明！我听说您自己也是个发明家。是这样吗？
理查德：是的。但我只是一个大型团队中的一分子——大多数发明家现在都在大型国际团队中工作。
采访人：明白了。那是什么激励着人们进行发明创造呢？
理查德：发现某个需要解决的问题，这是绝大多数发明的起点。古代轮子的发明无疑也是如此，后来演变为汽车。现在，能源供应紧缩与环境污染推动了新能源汽车技术的进一步发展。不过有一点依旧重要，就是我们对思考与创造有着一种极度的渴望，而这正是真正的发明精神。
采访人：最后一个问题，也是大家都很想知道的：会有人发明出时光机吗？
理查德：我觉得您是电影看多了！目前还没有类似的发明，而且我认为，我们离这样的发明还远着呢！不过，就像人们说的：“凡事没有绝对！”

理查德：是的。但我只是一个大型团队中的一分子——大多数发明家现在都在大型国际团队中工作。
采访人：明白了。那是什么激励着人们进行发明创造呢？
理查德：发现某个需要解决的问题，这是绝大多数发明的起点。古代轮子的发明无疑也是如此，后来演变为汽车。现在，能源供应紧缩与环境污染推动了新能源汽车技术的进一步发展。不过有一点依旧重要，就是我们对思考与创造有着一种极度的渴望，而这正是真正的发明精神。
采访人：最后一个问题，也是大家都很想知道的：会有人发明出时光机吗？
理查德：我觉得您是电影看多了！目前还没有类似的发明，而且我认为，我们离这样的发明还远着呢！不过，就像人们说的：“凡事没有绝对！”

Are you interested in hi-tech products Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon．
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airport Then you might want to consider CX 1．The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he/she is checking in or heading to the gate．Though CX 1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour，a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase's location．It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2025．
Aibo
Sony's latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing— but much less work．The pet dog can recognize its owner，obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master most．Aibo can also learn new tricks，take photographs，and over time，develop its own unique personality．
Forpheus

Sometimes a person who thinks in an unusual way can look at the world from a different point of view．Such was Richard Phillips Feynman，a role model change maker．Born in 1918，he began showing some unusual qualities．
The first sign of Feynman's unique qualities was that he hadn't yet spoken by age three．But young Feynman showed a talent for math and engineering．He enjoyed repairing household objects，and built a simple laboratory in his room．By the time he was in high school，he was experimenting things which were only taught to college students．
After Feynman graduated from high school in 1939，he studied at the MIT．Despite the fact that his grades in science and math were “the best that we've seen”，according to Princeton，he was almost rejected due to his very poor grades in writing and his Jewish religion．Finally，he was accepted and continued to study physics at Princeton where he got his PhD．His lectures attracted many great scientists of the time，including Albert Einstein．
At Princeton，Feynman began his most famous work: his work on nuclear weapons．He moved to a lab and not all of his work there has been released to the public，but we know he performed experiments related to uranium．After the war，Feynman taught at Cornell University，where he continued his studies．He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics．
Then，in 1978，Feynman developed cancer and died a year later．Though Feynman and his work are honored by physicists across the world，his personal qualities and skills are what really make him unique．Faced with all the challenges，he never gave up，doing work that he loved until the day he died．
4．What do we know about Richard Phillips Feynman from the text
A．Young Feynman showed his talent in every field．
B．Feynman won the Nobel Prize after the war ended．
C．Young Feynman enjoyed managing household a lot．
D．Feynman was diagnosed with cancer and died at the age of 60．
5．Why was Feynman admitted by Princeton
A．Because he was a Jewish．
B．Because he graduated from the MIT．
C．Because he was very gifted in math and science．
D．Because his lecture attracted many great scientists．
6．Which words can best describe Richard Phillips Feynman
A．Selfless and friendly．
B．Talented and stubborn．
C．Intelligent and devoted．
D．Strong-willed and humorous．

C．A Touching Story About Richard Phillips Feynman
D．The Influence of Richard Phillips Feynman
Ⅲ．阅读七选五
What Makes a Good Scientist
My name is Clara．I am a climate scientist，studying tiny particles in the atmosphere which is a layer of gases that surrounds our planet．I have wondered about what makes a good scientist． 1 ．
Patience
2 ．They have patience for others，patience for themselves and patience when things go wrong．A few years ago，when I worked on a NASA mission，we sent a spacecraft to bring back a sample of an asteroid．The spacecraft reached the asteroid in 2018 and returned with a piece of the asteroid in 2021．Then scientists studied it．
Scientific discoveries do not take place overnight．Many are small and go slowly．Missions often take years to complete． 3 ．
Being Open To Others
A good scientist has an open mind．It can be easy to ignore people you do not agree with．But we should be open to new ideas and ask people what they think． 4 ．Moreover，we should learn from our mistakes．Success almost never comes quickly or easily．Chances are you'll stumble many times first，but that's OK because making mistakes is part of learning．
Curiosity
Good scientists are curious，but we should also be curious in our daily lives．When we are curious about other people，we can care about them．We can become more understanding．
After all，it is easy to be kind．You can do it anywhere，and a kind action can make someone's day．You don't know what people are going through unless you find out．So，ask questions about everything．Ask your friends how they're doing．Ask yourself what makes you feel alive．Above all，make sure to pay attention to the world and the people around you．
5 ．It is our superpower，and also what makes us human．
A．A good scientist has patience
B．Don't be ashamed of being curious
C．Sometimes being open can be very harmful
D．That is why having patience is so important
E．Ask your workmates to have lunch with you
F．To me，it is the same as what makes a good person
G．We should do this even when we do not agree with them

1．B　[细节理解题。根据CX1部分中的“The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he/she is checking in or heading to the gate．”的描述可知，这款产品使用了面部识别软件，可以识别主人，并跟随主人，B项符合题意，故选B。]
2．D　[推理判断题。根据Aibo部分的描述，索尼最新版的Aibo机器狗几乎和真狗一样有趣，但主人的工作量要小得多，可以推测出这款产品比较适合想养狗、又没有很多时间照顾狗的人，D项符合题意，故选D。]
3．D　[细节理解题。根据Black Box VR部分中的“Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games．Using it，gym users will find themselves fighting enemies，including big creatures—all while getting exercise．”可知，Black Box VR想要通过把艰苦的锻炼变成有趣的电子游戏来改变人们不能达到健身目标的现状，D项符合题意，故选D。]
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一位备受尊敬的科学家Richard Phillips Feynman的个人经历以及取得的成就。
4．B　[细节理解题。根据第四段中“After the war，Feynman taught at Cornell University，where he continued his studies．He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics．”可知，Feynman是在战后获得诺贝尔奖的。]
5．C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite the fact that his grades in science and math were ‘the best that we've seen’”可知，Feynman被普林斯顿录取是因为他在数学和科学方面很有天赋。]
6．C　[推理判断题。根据第二段以及第三段内容可知，Feynman很聪明；结合第四、五段内容可看出Feynman从普林斯顿大学读博到之后工作都致力于研究物理、教授物理。由此可知，Feynman聪明且专注。]
7．B　[标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，作者描述了物理学家Feynman的成长过程以及伟大成就，在最后一段点出Feynman的成就举世瞩目，被全球物理学家所敬重。由此可知，B项最适合作为文章标题。]
Ⅲ．【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成为一名优秀的科学家所具备的条件。
1．F　[根据空前可知，作者想知道成为一名优秀的科学家的条件，所以接下来应该讲条件有哪些。F项“To me，it is the same as what makes a good person”说明，成为一名优秀科学家的条件和成为一个好人的条件是一样的，承接上文，符合上下文语境。]
2．A　[根据本段的中心词“Patience”以及空后“They have patience for others，patience for themselves and patience when things go wrong．”可知，本段是围绕着好的科学家有耐心这一点展开的，A项“A good scientist has patience”能概括全段内容，符合上下文语境。]
3．D　[根据空前可知，此处是在讲作为一名优秀的科学家要有耐心的原因，所以接下来应该对全段进行总结，D项“That is why having patience is so important”总结上文，同时回扣本段主题。]
4．G　[根据空前可知，要想成为一名好的科学家要有一个开放的心态，所以空处应该接着说有一个开放的心态应该怎么做，G项“We should do this even when we do not agree with them”承接上文，而且G项中的“this”指代上文的“we should be open to new ideas and ask people what they think”，符合上下文语境。]
5．B　[空处位于段首，是本段的主旨句。根据下文可知，空处的主旨句应该讲我们的“超能力”是什么，什么造就了人类。B项“Don't be ashamed of being curious”能概括全段内容，指明原因，符合上下文语境。]
