My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园)on the hill. At that time, villagers had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the fruit production wasst ill low because the area was short of water. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village.Th ey learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior highs chool. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprise dbecause everything had changed. The canals ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project( 水利工程)was completed, a policy (政策)was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production by using clean water in the river. I want to thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city.

CVillages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital way in recent years. With the help of digital technology, villagers are livi ngan easier and happier life.Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard a llyear round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests (害虫). Now, there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥)their crops and kill pests. In this way, they ma ke farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务)grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones to help with their farm work. More visitors visit beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and wh atto buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 34.

[ 南通中考] 阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分） 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention—the telephone. For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than justm ake calls! The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备)had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall rad iotowers across the country to pass signals ( 信号)easily. Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks. The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Textm essaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的)because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.” Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spendt oo much time on them.Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell! 66.
