专题10 话题6-发明物的历史及用途
【知识梳理】
当前，科技发展日新月异，高新产业更是突飞猛进。现代科技改变了人们的生活，也激发了全民学科学、爱科学、用科学的热情，形成了“大众创业，万众创新”的科学热潮。本单元以“谈论发明物的历史及用途”为话题，涉及科普知识与技术等内容，是学生最感兴趣的话题之一。写作体裁多为说明文，写好这类文章一定要抓住事物的特征、功能和用途。在中考中，说明文一般要按照“总一分”结构或并列结构布局，而且在说明一件事物的时候，应按照一定的顺序：如时间顺序、空间顺序或逻提职序等。
课文回顾：
1.When was it invented？它是什么时候发明的
【句型剖析】…was invented …句意为“某物被发明……”，是被动句式。例如：
The abacus was invented in the sixteenth century by the Chinese.
算盘在十六世纪由中国人发明的。
Who was the light bulb invented by？灯泡是由谁发明的？
【拓展】
被动语态的结构是：主语+be done（及物动词的过去分词），be是随人称和时态变化而变化的。
（1）一般现在时的被动语态：am/ is/ are done 例如：
The blackboard is cleaned by the students every class.
黑板每节课都被学生擦干净。
（2）一般过去时的被动语态：was/ were done 例如：
The computer was invented last century.
电脑是上个世纪被发明的。
（3）一般将来时的被动语态：shall/will be done 例如：
A new school will be built in our village next year.
明年一所新的学校将在我们村庄建设。
（4）现在进行时的被动语态：am/is/are being done 例如：
A sports meeting is being held in our school now.
运动会正在我们学校举行。
（5）现在完成时的被动语态：have/has been done 例如：
All of the work has been finished since I came here.
自从我来这里以来，所有的工作都已经完成。
（6）含有情态动词的被动语态：can/may/must/should be done 例如：
Your homework must be handed in after school.
你们的家庭作业必须在放学后交上。
（7）复合宾语的被动语态：原来的句子是“主语＋谓语＋宾语＋宾语补足语”，在变被动语态的时候只能将宾语变为被动语态的主语，宾语补足语变为被动语态的主语补足语。主动语态中宾语补足语是省掉to的不定式时，在被动语态中需要还原to。
They heard her sing an English song at the party.
他们在晚会上听到她唱了一首英语歌。
变为被动语态是：She was heard to sing an English song at the party.
2.Is it really such a great invention? 它真的是如此了不起的一项发明吗？

3.For example, it mentioned that zipper was invented by Whitcomb Judson in 1893.例如,它提到拉链是1893年由惠特科姆·贾德森发明的。
【句型剖析】mention作及物动词,意为“提到;说到”,后面可接名词、代词、动名词或that从句作宾语。

5.It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink.据说,有一位叫作神农的中国统治者最早发现茶可以饮用。
【句型剖析】It is said that…是一个固定搭配的句型，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that从句。它的
思是“据说……”。例如：

= They say that Mary is very happy in London.（宾语从句）

三、阅读单选
To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞).
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC．
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power.
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
16．Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________.
A．a symbol of honor B．protection against the sun
C．a symbol of power D．protection against the rain

A．the sales of the umbrella B．the differences among umbrellas
C．the invention of the umbrella D．the history and use of the umbrella
【答案】16．B    17．D    18．A    19．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了雨伞的发明史及用途。
16．细节理解题。根据“But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞).”可知，古代人们首次使用伞是为了遮挡太阳。故选B。
17．细节理解题。根据“Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC.”可知，古代中国可能是最早使用伞的。故选D。
18．词句猜测题。根据“such as kings or queens.”可知，国王、王后属于王室成员。所以royal的意思是“王室的”，故选A。
19．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了雨伞的发明史及用途，故选D。
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed. Paper provided an important way to spread information.
According to Chinese written historical records, paper was made in about AD 105 by Cai Lun, an official during the Han Dynasty. He took the inner bark of a tree and bamboo, mixed them with water, and pounded them with a wooden tool. He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth. After it dried, Cai Lun discovered that he had created a good writing thing—paper. It was easy to make and take.
Chinese papermaking was introduced to Korea and Vietnam and later to Japan at the beginning of the 3rd century. It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret.
During the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, different kinds of paper were developed including bamboo paper and xuan paper.
By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In about AD 751 after an important battle, the secret of papermaking was gotten from two Chinese prisoners（囚犯）caught by the enemies. The invention was then spread to Europe.
After many years, the invention had been spread all over the world and people thought it was one of the most important inventions. Today, both paper and paper money are used in all corners.
20．More people got the chance to be ________ after the invention of paper.
A．introduced B．provided C．educated D．treated
21．The underlined word “pounded” in the second paragraph might mean “________” in Chinese.
A．按压 B．晾晒 C．覆盖 D．捣碎
22．Other countries didn’t know ________ before Chinese papermaking was introduced to them.
A．the papermaking process B．the valued export
C．the xuan paper D．the Silk Road trading
23．From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ________.
A．the two Chinese prisoners were killed by Europeans
B．the methods of papermaking had been spread all over the world
C．the methods of papermaking were spread only in Asia
D．the Chinese didn’t offer the methods of making paper to Europeans
24．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The invention and spread of paper. B．The materials used to make paper.
C．The famous ancient inventor Cai Lun. D．Different kinds of paper.
【答案】20．C    21．D    22．A    23．B    24．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸的发明和传播过程。
20．细节理解题。根据“The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed.”可知，纸的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育，故选C。
21．词义猜测题。根据下文“He then put this mixture onto a piece of cloth and let the water through, leaving only the fibers（纤维）on the cloth.”可知，他把混合物放在布上，所以前面指的是他把树的内皮和竹子与水混合并且捣碎成混合物。故选D。
22．细节理解题。根据“It was a valued export in Silk Road trading, but the papermaking process was kept secret.”可知，纸的制作过程是被保密的，所以其他国家不知道。故选A。
23．细节理解题。根据“By the end of the 7th century, the papermaking process reached India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.”和“The invention was then spread to Europe.”可知，纸的制作过程传向了全世界。故选B。
24．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了纸的发明和传播过程。选项A“纸的发明和传播”符合题意，故选A。

四、多任务混合阅读
任务型阅读
You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact almost everyone can invent. It’s just that they do not recognize that their ideas could be the start of an invention.
Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value they don’t let them slip away.
For example, the inventor of the dishwasher American Josephine Cochrane loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So in 1886 she set out to make one for herself.
Cochrane’s most wonderful inventions are created to solve the problem. So the first and most important step is to find the problem.
You can start by looking at what is wrong with the things you are using now. You can ask grandparents or neighbors if they remember ever saying: “I wish someone would invent something for ...” Or you can look at people in different areas — such as on the street or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. Remember to record your ideas and work. This will help you develop your invention and protect (保护) it when it is completed.
The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many varied (各种各样的) and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way.
And the hardest part of inventing even for a lot of inventors is finding a problem and coming up with a solution. Once you have an idea you can always get help to build your invention.
This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others or even in the way you look at the world?
25．完成句子。
