四、阅读理解（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
（A）
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors in history. He is famous for his contributions to electricity and technology. What many people don’t know is that Tesla relied heavily on his imagination to create his inventions.
Unlike other inventors who built models or did experiments first, Tesla would imagine every detail of his inventions in his mind. He would “test” the inventions mentally, making changes until they worked perfectly. Only then would he put pen to paper or build a physical model.
One of his most famous inventions is the alternating current (AC) electrical system, which is still used today to power homes and businesses. Tesla imagined the entire system in his mind before building it. He also invented the Tesla coil, a device that produces high-voltage electricity.
Tesla once said, “My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea, I start to build it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements, and operate the device in my mind. It is exactly the same as working with the real thing.”
31. How did Tesla develop his inventions
A. He built models first. B. He did experiments first.
C. He imagined them in his mind first. D. He asked others for help.
32. What is the alternating current (AC) electrical system used for
A. Powering homes and businesses B. Producing high-voltage electricity
C. Testing inventions mentally D. Building physical models
33. What can we learn from Tesla’s story

C. Tesla only invented one important thing D. Experiments are more important than imagination

Future life is a popular topic for imagination. People have always wondered what life will be like in the future. With the help of technology and imagination, we can picture some possible changes.
One big change will be in transportation. Imagine flying cars that can take us anywhere quickly without traffic jams. We might also have high-speed trains that travel under the sea, connecting countries around the world.
Homes in the future will be smarter. Robots will help with housework like cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes. Smart homes will have systems that control temperature, lighting, and security with just a voice command.
Healthcare will also improve. Doctors might use advanced technology to cure diseases that are impossible to treat today. We could have small machines that travel inside our bodies to fix problems without surgery.
Education will be different too. Students might learn from virtual teachers in online classrooms. They could also take field trips to historical sites or outer space through virtual reality.

Imagination is not just for children — it’s important for people of all ages. It helps us solve problems, create new things, and have a better life. Here are three ways to develop your imagination.
First, read widely. Books, especially fiction and fairy tales, can take you to different worlds and introduce you to new ideas. Reading helps your brain practice creating pictures and stories in your mind.
Second, try new things. Doing something you’ve never done before, like painting, playing an instrument, or traveling to a new place, can spark your imagination. New experiences give your brain new material to work with.
Third, daydream. Many people think daydreaming is a waste of time, but it’s actually a great way to use your imagination. When you daydream, you can let your mind wander and come up with creative ideas. Just make sure not to let it interfere with your work or studies!
Remember, everyone has imagination. It’s not something you are born with or without — it’s a skill that can be developed with practice.
38. Who is imagination important for
A. Only children B. Only adults C. People of all ages D. Only inventors
39. How can reading help develop imagination
A. It helps create pictures and stories in the mind B. It teaches you to paint
C. It lets you travel to new places D. It helps you finish work quickly
40. What does the underlined word “spark” mean in Chinese
A. 熄灭 B. 激发 C. 浪费 D. 消耗
41. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To tell a fairy tale B. To introduce famous inventors
C. To teach ways to develop imagination D. To describe future life
（D）
Have you ever imagined a world without plastic Plastic pollution is a big problem today, but one teenager’s imagination might have found a solution.
Boyan Slat was 16 years old when he went diving in Greece. He was shocked to see more plastic bags than fish in the sea. He imagined a way to clean up the ocean without using too much energy.
Slat’s idea was a floating device that could catch plastic waste from the ocean. The device uses the natural movement of the ocean to collect plastic, so it doesn’t need fuel. It can also separate plastic from fish and other sea life, so it doesn’t harm marine animals.
With the help of engineers and scientists, Slat turned his imagination into reality. He founded a company called The Ocean Cleanup and built the first device in 2016. Since then, the devices have collected thousands of tons of plastic from the ocean.
Slat’s story shows that imagination can solve real-world problems. You don’t have to be an adult or a scientist to have a great idea — all you need is imagination and the courage to make it happen.
