Let's look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.
Band Aids(创可贴)
The first Band Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921.The idea came to him by chance.Dickson's wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen.At that time gauze(纱布) and adhesive tape(胶带) didn't come together.People had to cut them to the right size.Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off.So he put a piece of gauze on the center of a piece of tape.This is how he made the first Band Aid.
Later Dickson's new invention became very popular all around the world.
Bubblegum(泡泡糖)
Bubblegum was invented by accident.In 1928，American gum company worker Walter E．Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes.Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then.But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow.He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities.He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon.Since then，Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubblegum—has made kids happy all around the world.

Tea bag drinking is most Westerners' favourite way of drinking tea.Do you know how it came about
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan，an American tea seller.He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try.People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water.The tea tasted good，and people thought it was easy to clean the cup.They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands，and he built a machine to pack the bags.As tea bags became popular，they were changed from silk to gauze and later paper.In 1952，Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four sided tea bag.Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK，and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However，many people still prefer loose leaf tea.This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags.But for most drinkers，tea bags are still the easy，tasty way to go.

阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Drones(无人驾驶飞机) can do lots of things for people, including taking pictures from the sky and watching wild animals.Now these small flying robots begin to change the way of farming.
Looking for sick plants.Drones can find bacteria that are harmful to plants in the air from a few kilometres away.Farmers can check the drones' air samples(样本) and try to find ways to protect their plants before the bacteria get to them.
Counting cows.When flying over cows, drones can follow up the cows and find out which fences need fixing.There are also special cameras on drones.They can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cows.
Water watch.After watering the fields, we can often see some places may dry out faster than others.Other places might not get water at all.Drones can look over the field and make a 3D map.Using the map, farmers can find out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement.
Spraying pesticide(喷洒农药).Different parts of a field might have different heights.Drones can check for this when flying above the land.Then, they change their height so that they can spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field.This is more useful than traditional pesticide spraying.Drones can finish spraying a field much faster than with traditional machines.
Although drones can do a lot of things for people, drones still face great challenges and disadvantages.One of the biggest disadvantages is that they are affected by the weather.

Let's look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.
Band Aids(创可贴)
The first Band Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921.The idea came to him by chance.Dickson's wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen.At that time gauze(纱布) and adhesive tape(胶带) didn't come together.People had to cut them to the right size.Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off.So he put a piece of gauze on the center of a piece of tape.This is how he made the first Band Aid.
Later Dickson's new invention became very popular all around the world.
Bubblegum(泡泡糖)
Bubblegum was invented by accident.In 1928，American gum company worker Walter E．Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes.Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then.But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow.He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities.He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon.Since then，Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubblegum—has made kids happy all around the world.

Tea bag drinking is most Westerners' favourite way of drinking tea.Do you know how it came about
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan，an American tea seller.He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try.People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water.The tea tasted good，and people thought it was easy to clean the cup.They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands，and he built a machine to pack the bags.As tea bags became popular，they were changed from silk to gauze and later paper.In 1952，Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four sided tea bag.Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK，and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However，many people still prefer loose leaf tea.This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags.But for most drinkers，tea bags are still the easy，tasty way to go.

第二节　阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Drones(无人驾驶飞机) can do lots of things for people, including taking pictures from the sky and watching wild animals.Now these small flying robots begin to change the way of farming.
Looking for sick plants.Drones can find bacteria that are harmful to plants in the air from a few kilometres away.Farmers can check the drones' air samples(样本) and try to find ways to protect their plants before the bacteria get to them.
Counting cows.When flying over cows, drones can follow up the cows and find out which fences need fixing.There are also special cameras on drones.They can help farmers look for animals that could harm their cows.
Water watch.After watering the fields, we can often see some places may dry out faster than others.Other places might not get water at all.Drones can look over the field and make a 3D map.Using the map, farmers can find out which parts of a field are dry or need improvement.
Spraying pesticide(喷洒农药).Different parts of a field might have different heights.Drones can check for this when flying above the land.Then, they change their height so that they can spray the correct amount of pesticide over each part of the field.This is more useful than traditional pesticide spraying.Drones can finish spraying a field much faster than with traditional machines.
Although drones can do a lot of things for people, drones still face great challenges and disadvantages.One of the biggest disadvantages is that they are affected by the weather.
71．What can drones do to help the sick plants
Drones_can_find_bacteria_that_are_harmful_to_plants_in_the_air_from_a_few_kilometres_away.
72．What are on the drones that help farmers look for animals

The first thing that man invented for sports was the ball. In ancient Egypt, throwing stones was children's favorite game. But stones could hurt people. To look for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made the first ball.
At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by rope. Later they were made of pieces of animals' skin with feather or other light soft things.The Egyptians found time for peaceful games. Before long they developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played with the balls more for training than for fun. They thought ball playing was a useful way to train young people.
