（2019·河北中考真题）I have invented robots which improve the work of cars. My love of
making things began 11 I was a kid. I really became excited about inventing after I learned
about Thomas Edison.
One day in fourth grade, our 12 gave us a project in class. We had to write to a company
and learn about the products. I thought and thought. 13 I chose the Thomas A．Edison
Company. Soon after, the company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I
enjoyed reading and re-reading about his 14 ! I like the recorded sound and the electric light
most. The inventions were clearly printed on my brain.
My dad noticed my interest in inventing and 15 me. He showed me how to turn my ideas
into plans and then into new things. Once, I surprised my dad 16 a model plane I made. Later,
we found a 17 model plane in a store. I learned that different inventors often invent similar
things. It is not unusual for this to happen. I also learned that not all great ideas 18 . Failure is a
common part of the inventing.
As my father and I worked together, I began to realize that my dad was quite an inventor
himself. He was always 19 a better way to do a simple job. His guiding hands, together with my
20 in inventing, led me to become an engineer and an inventor. Of course, I also thank Thomas
Edison. He is my hero.

A
（2018·山东临沂·中考真题）What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin
(青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor.
She examines you. She says you have a “staph” infection (葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some
medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin,
this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in
small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
试卷第1页，共3页The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds
(霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can’t see them. They’re too small. There
are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment (实验) fail. That’s why dishes
are covered.
Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he
took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also
some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph.
This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”
This is how penicillin was found. But here’s the real miracle (奇迹). There are thousands of
kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few
days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds (秒). In those few seconds the right
mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very
careful and smart. He understood what the mold did. How lucky the humans were!

（2020·山东烟台·中考真题）One day, Anna Du was walking along Castle Island's beach.
She found there were lots of plastic pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She
began to think about how to solve the problem.First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic in the
sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must be done.
So she decided to invent a robot that could work under water. She tried again and again. At last her
ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces, especially the tiny ones.
With this ROV, Anna Du took part in the Broadcom Masters competition which is one of the
top STEM competitions. It's for young students around the world. This year, more than 5,000
students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Anna Du's ROV caught
a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights which could find plastic
pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, "The ROV is nicely done for a 12-year-old girl. It's
very clever."
In fact, Anna Du is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are always
supporting her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering skills. When
she was asked about the future plan, she said, "I want to be an engineer because I like building
things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right now, I'm just caring
about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go."

A．No robots could work under water at that time.
B．150 million tons of plastic was found on Castle Island.
C．There would be more and more plastic pieces in the sea.

27．Why did Anna Du invent her ROV?
A．To cut plastic wastes into pieces. B．To pick up plastic pieces in the sea.
C．To help her move through deep water. D．To win the Broadcom Masters competition.
28．What can we learn from Dana Yoerger's words?
A．ROV is made for young girls. B．Some young girls are clever.
C．She thinks highly of the ROV. D．The competition is well organized.
29．Why does Anna Du want to be an engineer?
A．To keep the sea clean. B．To learn engineer skills.
C．To realize her parents' future plan. D．To invent things to solve problems.

（2020·贵州黔东南·中考真题） Do you ever feel no one really understands you? Well,
“Pepper”, a robot could change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human’s feelings. Using its
emotional recognition, Pepper can react to people when it is close to them — making jokes,
dancing and even singing in Japanese.
The man-like robot looks a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a table computer set to its chest.
It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in
Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.
Pepper can examine face expressions, human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper
is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie, the household robot on the cartoon. Pepper
is used at home or in the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.
Pepper gets power from love inside a family. Not only is he making jokes, making them
laugh, also it helps people when they are in trouble. In a natural accident, it can help make those
people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.
Pepper was on sale in Japan for around $2,000 in February, 2015. For now, several Peppers
are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling “Pepper” they
want the robots to store more knowledge, so it can get along better with humans.
56．Do you think a robot can read human’s feelings?
