Today an electric light is the most commonly used device in our daily lives. We need them to
provide light for houses, buildings, and streets. We also have handheld lights that have a backup ( 后
备) time of more than 12 hours. The technology that we use today may be different from the past, but
what we have today can be traced all the way back to the invention of the electric light.
Efforts to create a working electric light go back to 1800 when an Italian scientist named
Alessandro Volta, during his experiments on the development of electric batteries, observed that when
a copper ( 铜) wire connected the two ends of the battery, it starts to glow due to the passage of
electricity. The electric battery he invented then became the source of many electric experiments.
Researches and developments on the electric light were continued by many inventors. It is said
that the electric light was invented by 20 inventors before Thomas Edison.
The main problem in the developments of the electric light was the filament ( 灯丝) inside it; it
didn't last very long and melted very quickly. In this regard, Thomas Edison was very important in the
development of the electric light.
Edison started developing and testing new filaments that could last longer. He tested many
materials and finally developed a filament that could last for 13.5 hours, which proved that he was
moving in the right direction. He tried more than 3,000 electric light designs and 6,000 different
filament materials. Finally, he found a filament that could last for more than 1,200 hours.
Edison became successful not just because he developed a long-lasting filament. He also
developed the entire electric lighting system, including the sockets ( 插孔) and switches. He also made
the first steam-generating power station in 1882.
24. Who created the first electric battery?
A. Thomas Edison. B.Twenty inventors.
C. Alessandro Volta. D. Some historians.
25. What was the biggest difficulty in the development of the electric light?
A. There were only a few materials to make filaments.
B.The designs for the electric light were not good enough.
C.The electric light melted in a short time.
D. The filaments could not last for a long time.
26. Which of the following is NOT Thomas Edison's contribution?
A. He developed 3,000 light bulb designs.
B.He developed the first power generating station.
C.He found a long-lasting filament.
D. He created an electric lighting system.
27. What do you think could be the best title of this passage?
A. The Advanced Technology of Electricity
B. The Development of the Electric Light
C. How Electric Lights Work
D. The Life of Thomas Edison

On the 1st of March Bulgarian people celebrate a traditional holiday called Baba Marta and it is
related to welcoming the approaching spring. People all over the world meet spring with joy and new
hopes but in Bulgaria it is saved as an ancient tradition.
On that day, Bulgarians exchange so-called "Martenitsa" and tell each other, "Chestita Baba
Marta!"(Happy Grandma Marta! ). This custom is essentially to wish great health, good luck, and
happiness to family and friends. The name "Martenitsa" is taken from the Bulgarian word for March,
or, as a legend tells, an angry old lady called Grandma Marta-Baba Marta in Bulgarian.
In Bulgarian folklore Baba Marta is a grumpy old woman who changes her mood very rapidly
and it reflects in the changeable March weather. When she is smiling the weather is sunny and warm,
but if she gets angry the cold will stay for longer and it may even snow. By wearing the red and white
colors of the Martenitsa, they hoped that it will make winter pass faster and bring spring.
The Martenitsa is made of twined red and white threads-woollen, silk, or cotton. The white is a
symbol of strength, purity and happiness. The red is associated with health and blood.
When someone gives you a Martenitsa you should wear it either pinned on your clothes, on the
hand tied around the wrist, or around your neck until you see, or a fruit tree in blossom for the first
time in the season. After that you can tie it on a blossoming tree for fertility. Like kind of amulet,
Martenitsa was regarded as a magic power believed to protect folks from "ill fortune", diseases and an
evil eye.
The custom of wearing Martenitsa is probably one of the most interesting Bulgarian traditions
and it is considered to be unique to Bulgaria. According to one of the many legends, this tradition is
also related to the founding of the Bulgarian state in 681 AD.
28. What do we know about Martenitsa?
A. It lasts from March 1st until around the end of May.
B. It is a traditional holiday connected with welcoming spring.
C. It marks a huge improvement on agriculture.
D. It is celebrated by Bulgarian people on May 1st.
29. What does the underlined word "grumpy" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Easy-going. B.Cold-blooded. C. Open-minded. D. Ill-tempered.
30. How should a Martenitsa be worn correctly?
A. By tying it around the wrist. B. By sticking it on the trousers.
C. By pinning it on the head. D. By drawing it on the body.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a Bulgarian tradition. B. To show how to make the Martenitsa.
C. To promote cultural research. D. To tell people what to do in spring.

Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can
reduce sensitivity to pain, by immersing( 沉 浸)people in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in
Pain Reports, a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people’s sensitivity to ongoing pain and
sharp shooting pain.
According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR
technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may
actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.
Dr Sam Hughes, the first author on the paper, said "Our work suggests that VR may be getting
involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating
the spread of increased sensitivity to pain.
To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin( 辣椒素)-the chemical that
makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to
painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shock.
In the first trial, participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a
scale of 0-100 (from 'no pain' to 'worst pain possible' )while either watching a VR scene of Arctic
exploration through a headset, or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor. Under the
same conditions, they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is
considered as painful.
The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to
painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still
images of the polar environment.
They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited
by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe
VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting
systems.
32. How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers?
A. By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity.
B. By slowing down their brains' reaction to pain.
C. By making their pain-fighting systems function.
D. By drawing their attention to fighting pain.
33. Which step comes first in their theory testing?
A. Applying capsaicin cream to the skin.
B. Looking at pictures on a computer screen.
C. Making a capsaicin cream.
D. Putting on virtual reality headsets.
34. What conclusion can be drawn from the trial?
A. Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers.
