(Science and technology makes our school life easier and better than before! When your
teacher gives lessons with his phone or iPad, Bluetooth does help a lot. What is Bluetooth?
Read the article and find it out!)
If you look around the room you are in right now, you’ll probably notice a number of
electronics. But can you imagine if they all had to be joined together by wires (
电线
)? Picture
the wire snaking along the floor, for example, from your smartphone to your speaker, or
connecting your game controller to the computer screen, meaning you could never sit more
than a couple of meters away from it. A world of electronics connected by wires wouldn’t just
be untidy, but a possible danger, too. That’s where Bluetooth comes in. We’ve all heard of
it—but what exactly is it?
Bluetooth is a method of short-distance
（短距离）
wireless communication between
electronics that makes use of the power of radio waves. The idea was first thought of by Dr.
Janp Haartsen at Swedish mobile company Ericsson in 1994. Things really stepped up in
September 1998 when the Bluetooth Special Interest Group(SIG) was set up to develop and
spread the technology. Bluetooth 1.0 came out in 1999, and a year later it began to be used in
mobile phones and desktop computers. Now Bluetooth has become an increasingly popular
way of solving the problem of more and more electronics needing to be connected without
having to connect everything together with wires.
But if you look at the remote controlyou use to choose the program on TV, you
（遥控器）
might rightly ask yourself why Bluetooth was such a big deal. After all, connecting objects
with infrared signalswhich can’t be seen had been done before. The problem with
（红外信号）
remote controls is that they need to keep what is called “line of sight”. If something is
standing between the remote control and receiver, it won’t work. Because Bluetooth uses
radio waves, the things standing in the way are no longer a problem.
Since its creation in the late 1990s, the technology has become more and more improved

and widely used, with the 4 billionth Bluetooth objects shipped in 2020.

How does the writer lead in the topic “Bluetooth” in Paragraph 1?
A
．
By describing scenes.
C
．
By telling stories.
B
．
By comparing facts.
D
．
By explaining reasons.

．
With the setting up of SIG, Bluetooth ________.
A
．
started to be used in cars
C
．
improved and spread quickly
B
．
made radio waves known to people
D
．
was able to connect all electronics

You must have attended many different courses at you still remember the space
lesson hosted by Wang Yaping?
On the afternoon of March 23, 2022, Chinese astronauts on board China’s Tiangong
space station gave a science lesson 400 kilometers above Earth. It was a great success. Do

other two astronauts, she gave the lesson to more than 60 million school children all over the
country.
While watching the science lesson from theTiangong-1 on the morning of June 20, 2013,
Wang Lutian, a 10-year-old disabled student at a special school in downtown Beijing, was
drawing a colorful rocket with crayons in his classroom. “a rocket to the sky,”
Wang explained his work in a cheerful voice. At that time, he and more than 100 other
disabled students were enjoying the lesson given by Wang Yaping, who talked about
movements in micro-gravityenvironments. “Zerogravity!” Qian Shaohong, another
（微重力）
student at the school, shouted when he saw astronaut Nie Haisheng making a show of
crossing his legs in mid-air. “Scientific knowledge has helped open a window for the children
to know about the world,” said Zhang Yini, a teacher at the school.
The lesson also increased interest in space science among teenagers living on the “roof
（屋脊）
of the world”. “I was most interested in the presentation of the ‘water ball’ in a
gravity-free environment. It’s really amazing,” said Rigzin Jigme Doje, a high school student
in Lhasa, Tibet. Describing himself as a lover of physics, Doje said the lesson helped him stay

One day, Helen shouts, “Roger, come and look at the egg! It’s cracking.” Slowly
（裂开）
a long beak
（喙）
appears. They are unsure what it is.
Dad checks on the computer, “Hey, look! It’s a pterodactyl.” “A pterodactyl?”
（翼手龙）
试卷第7页，共15页
shout the children. “Yes, it’s a type of dinosaur. Pterodactyls can fly,” says Dad.
Then Helen names it Dacty.
A month later, he grows up. But there is something wrong with his wings. “My room is
too small and Dacty keeps banging
（碰撞）
his wings on the walls. I feel sorry for him,” says
Helen. Finally, they take Dacty to a vet
（兽医）
.
Two weeks later, Dacty’s wings are better. However, he isn’t willing to fly. They phone
Aunt Elizabeth. Soon she arrives. “My office is very big. It’s perfect for Dacty during the day.
And at night, when the museum is empty, Dacty can fly around happily.” Then she takes them
to the museum. On arriving, they take Dacty out of the basket. He stretcheshis wings,
（伸展）
flies high up and lands on a stone statue.
“Look, he likes here,” shouts Helen. “Can he see in the dark?” asks Roger. “Yes, they
see clearly in the dark, just like owls
（猫头鹰）
,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
Six months passes and Dacty is very big now. One night, Dacty sees lights moving
inside the museum. Two men—Bert and Eric come in with torches
（手电筒）
. They are
wearing masks and trying to open a case
（箱子）
. Inside it is a mummy
（木乃伊）
. Suddenly
Eric looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert, there is a huge bird up there.”
Bert looks up. Dacty doesn’t move, “Eric, don’t be silly. It’s only a statue,” says Bert. “Come
on. I will open the case. You look for the gold medallions
（大奖章）
.” At the moment, Dacty
flies down and catches Eric. The thief is very scared and he can’t say anything. Dacty flies up
and lifts him on top of a statue. He’s stuck. At once, Dacty flies down again and catches Bert,
too. Both of them are stuck there.
The next morning, when Aunt Elizabeth comes in, she sees the broken mummy case and
the two men. They are shouting loudly.
Dacty flies down to her. “Here you are, Dacty,” she says and pets
（爱抚）
his head.
“Thank you, you did a great job.” Then she phones the police.
The mayor
（市长）
shakes Dacty’s wing and puts a big shiny medal over his head.
“Congratulations, you did a great job.” Then he turns to Aunt Elizabeth, “It’s great to have a
big bird as a guard!”
“Dacty is a pterodactyl!” Roger says.
“Dacty is a hero now,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
“A pterodactyl?” shouts another man. “Wow! They love warm weather and jungles

(Science and technology makes our school life easier and better than before! When your
teacher gives lessons with his phone or iPad, Bluetooth does help a lot. What is Bluetooth?
Read the article and find it out!)
If you look around the room you are in right now, you’ll probably notice a number of
electronics. But can you imagine if they all had to be joined together by wires (
电线
)? Picture
the wire snaking along the floor, for example, from your smartphone to your speaker, or
connecting your game controller to the computer screen, meaning you could never sit more
than a couple of meters away from it. A world of electronics connected by wires wouldn’t just
be untidy, but a possible danger, too. That’s where Bluetooth comes in. We’ve all heard of
it—but what exactly is it?
Bluetooth is a method of short-distance
（短距离）
wireless communication between
electronics that makes use of the power of radio waves. The idea was first thought of by Dr.
Janp Haartsen at Swedish mobile company Ericsson in 1994. Things really stepped up in
September 1998 when the Bluetooth Special Interest Group(SIG) was set up to develop and
spread the technology. Bluetooth 1.0 came out in 1999, and a year later it began to be used in
mobile phones and desktop computers. Now Bluetooth has become an increasingly popular
way of solving the problem of more and more electronics needing to be connected without
having to connect everything together with wires.
But if you look at the remote controlyou use to choose the program on TV, you
（遥控器）
might rightly ask yourself why Bluetooth was such a big deal. After all, connecting objects
with infrared signalswhich can’t be seen had been done before. The problem with
（红外信号）
remote controls is that they need to keep what is called “line of sight”. If something is
standing between the remote control and receiver, it won’t work. Because Bluetooth uses
radio waves, the things standing in the way are no longer a problem.
Since its creation in the late 1990s, the technology has become more and more improved

You must have attended many different courses at you still remember the space
lesson hosted by Wang Yaping?
On the afternoon of March 23, 2022, Chinese astronauts on board China’s Tiangong
space station gave a science lesson 400 kilometers above Earth. It was a great success. Do
you still remember the first space lesson hosted by Wang Yaping in 2013? Helped by the
other two astronauts, she gave the lesson to more than 60 million school children all over the
country.
While watching the science lesson from theTiangong-1 on the morning of June 20, 2013,
Wang Lutian, a 10-year-old disabled student at a special school in downtown Beijing, was
drawing a colorful rocket with crayons in his classroom. “a rocket to the sky,”
Wang explained his work in a cheerful voice. At that time, he and more than 100 other
disabled students were enjoying the lesson given by Wang Yaping, who talked about
movements in micro-gravityenvironments. “Zerogravity!” Qian Shaohong, another
（微重力）
student at the school, shouted when he saw astronaut Nie Haisheng making a show of
crossing his legs in mid-air. “Scientific knowledge has helped open a window for the children
to know about the world,” said Zhang Yini, a teacher at the school.
The lesson also increased interest in space science among teenagers living on the “roof
（屋脊）
of the world”. “I was most interested in the presentation of the ‘water ball’ in a
gravity-free environment. It’s really amazing,” said Rigzin Jigme Doje, a high school student
in Lhasa, Tibet. Describing himself as a lover of physics, Doje said the lesson helped him stay

One day, Helen shouts, “Roger, come and look at the egg! It’s cracking.” Slowly
（裂开）
a long beak
（喙）
appears. They are unsure what it is.
Dad checks on the computer, “Hey, look! It’s a pterodactyl.” “A pterodactyl?”
（翼手龙）
试卷第7页，共15页
shout the children. “Yes, it’s a type of dinosaur. Pterodactyls can fly,” says Dad.
Then Helen names it Dacty.
A month later, he grows up. But there is something wrong with his wings. “My room is
too small and Dacty keeps banging
（碰撞）
his wings on the walls. I feel sorry for him,” says
Helen. Finally, they take Dacty to a vet
（兽医）
.
Two weeks later, Dacty’s wings are better. However, he isn’t willing to fly. They phone
Aunt Elizabeth. Soon she arrives. “My office is very big. It’s perfect for Dacty during the day.
And at night, when the museum is empty, Dacty can fly around happily.” Then she takes them
to the museum. On arriving, they take Dacty out of the basket. He stretcheshis wings,
（伸展）
flies high up and lands on a stone statue.
“Look, he likes here,” shouts Helen. “Can he see in the dark?” asks Roger. “Yes, they
see clearly in the dark, just like owls
（猫头鹰）
,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
Six months passes and Dacty is very big now. One night, Dacty sees lights moving
inside the museum. Two men—Bert and Eric come in with torches
（手电筒）
. They are
wearing masks and trying to open a case
（箱子）
. Inside it is a mummy
（木乃伊）
. Suddenly
Eric looks up and sees Dacty. He is very scared. “Look, Bert, there is a huge bird up there.”
Bert looks up. Dacty doesn’t move, “Eric, don’t be silly. It’s only a statue,” says Bert. “Come
on. I will open the case. You look for the gold medallions
（大奖章）
.” At the moment, Dacty
flies down and catches Eric. The thief is very scared and he can’t say anything. Dacty flies up
and lifts him on top of a statue. He’s stuck. At once, Dacty flies down again and catches Bert,
too. Both of them are stuck there.
The next morning, when Aunt Elizabeth comes in, she sees the broken mummy case and
the two men. They are shouting loudly.
Dacty flies down to her. “Here you are, Dacty,” she says and pets
（爱抚）
his head.
“Thank you, you did a great job.” Then she phones the police.
The mayor
（市长）
shakes Dacty’s wing and puts a big shiny medal over his head.
“Congratulations, you did a great job.” Then he turns to Aunt Elizabeth, “It’s great to have a
big bird as a guard!”
“Dacty is a pterodactyl!” Roger says.
“Dacty is a hero now,” says Aunt Elizabeth.
“A pterodactyl?” shouts another man. “Wow! They love warm weather and jungles
