笔试部分
一、单项选择.
答案：B
解析：“spend + 时间 + (in) doing sth”是固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”，其中“in”可省略，所以此处应填“working on”。
答案：C
解析：A选项“lends”（借出）、B选项“gives”（给）、D选项“hands to”（递给）代入句中，语义均不通顺。C选项“lends a hand to”是固定短语，意为“帮助”，符合“智能拐杖帮助老人，让他们生活更轻松”的语境。
答案：A
解析：A选项“come up with”意为“想出（主意、办法等）”；B选项“catch up with”意为“赶上”；C选项“keep up with”意为“跟上”；D选项“put up with”意为“忍受”。根据“such a good idea”可知，此处是“想出好主意”，选A。
答案：A
解析：根据前半句“I wanted to pay...”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，后半句“商店的系统不工作”也应是过去的情况，所以用一般过去时“didn’t work”。
答案：A
解析：“It takes sb + 时间 + to do sth”是固定句型，意为“花费某人时间做某事”，此处时间状语是“yesterday”，所以用“took”。B选项“spent”主语通常是人；C选项“cost”主语通常是物，且常表示“花费金钱”；D选项“paid”主语是人，常与“for”搭配，均不符合此处用法。
答案：C

答案：B
解析：A选项“Because”后接句子；B选项“Because of”后接名词或名词短语；C选项“Thanks to”意为“多亏、由于”，通常表示积极意义，此处“高成本”是负面因素，不符合；D选项“As for”意为“至于”，语义不符。“the high cost of the prosthetic”是名词短语，选B。

参考范文
One of the inventions that impresses me most is the smartphone. It has changed people’s lives greatly.
With a smartphone, we can do many things easily. We can use it to communicate with friends and family through video calls no matter how far apart we are. We can also shop online, book tickets and get all kinds of information anytime and anywhere. Besides, it can be used as a camera to record beautiful moments in life.
I hope in the future, there will be a kind of smart home robot. It can help people do housework like cleaning, cooking and taking care of the elderly. This will make people’s life more comfortable and convenient.

六、阅读理解（每小题1分，共15分）
A
Easton’s invention journey started with a chance meeting. When he was a teenager, he went to a science fair and met Jenny, a girl who used a prosthetic arm. Jenny told him that her prosthetic cost a lot of money and was very heavy to carry. This made Easton feel sad and he decided to do something to help.
At first, Easton used Lego blocks to make a model of a lighter prosthetic. It was a simple model but it gave him a good start. When he was 16, he got a 3-D printer from his parents as a gift. With this printer, he could make better parts for his invention. He spent hours every day working on the robotic arm, testing and improving it again and again. There were many difficulties along the way. Sometimes the parts didn’t fit well, and sometimes the arm couldn’t move as expected. But Easton never gave up.
At 23, Easton finally succeeded. He invented an AI robotic arm that weighs only 0.5 pared with Jenny’s old prosthetic, it is much lighter and more comfortable to use. The price is only 500 dollars, which is a small part of the cost of traditional prosthetics. To everyone’s surprise, Easton decided to share his design for free online. He said, “I want to help as many people as possible. No one should be unable to get a prosthetic because of money.”
His invention has helped thousands of people around the world. Easton’s story tells us that a small idea can become something great if we work hard enough.

C. It’s easy to invent new things.
D. Money is important for inventions.
B
I’ve studied in China for a year and just came back to the UK for Christmas. I was really happy to see my family, but I’ve had some “digital shocks” here!
Yesterday, I wanted to buy some food for dinner. I decided to ride a shared bike to the shop, as I always do in China. But it took me nearly 20 minutes to find one! The bike I finally got was old and dirty. And the ride only took 15 minutes, but it cost me more than five pounds— that’s really expensive!
In the shop, I picked out vegetables and meat quickly. Then I took out my phone to pay, but the shopkeeper looked confused. I asked her to show me the QR code, but she had no idea what I was talking about. I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop’s payment system didn’t work. She told me to pay with cash. I never carry cash in China because digital payments are everywhere. So I had to go back home to get some.
When I got home, I was too tired to cook. I ordered food through an app, just like I do in Beijing. But the delivery was so slow. My food arrived 90 minutes later, and it was completely cold. I was so hungry and disappointed!
Except for these digital problems, I’ve had a great holiday. But I really look forward to going back to China. The digital technology there makes life so much more convenient!

B. Digital payments are widely used.
C. Food delivery is always slow.
D. Shared bikes cost a lot of money.
What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage
A. To complain about life in the UK.
B. To introduce her holiday experience.
C. To compare digital life in China and the UK.
D. To show how to use digital devices.
C
Inventions have changed the world and made our lives easier. But where do great inventions come from Many come from people trying to solve problems.
Take the robotic arm by Easton as an example. He saw that traditional prosthetics were too expensive and heavy for many people. So he worked hard to create a lighter and cheaper one. His invention helps people who need prosthetics live better lives.
Another example is the smart crutch invented by Shantanu. He noticed that elderly people often fell because their crutches weren’t safe enough. He used his knowledge to make a crutch that can help old people keep balance. This small invention has made a big difference to the elderly.
Digital technology is also full of such inventions. Think about digital payments. Someone noticed that carrying cash was inconvenient and sometimes unsafe. So people created digital payment systems. Now we can pay with our phones almost everywhere in China, which saves a lot of time.
These stories show that the best inventions don’t have to be complicated. They just need to solve real problems. If you keep your eyes open and think about how to make things better, you might become an inventor too!
