二、阅读理解
1
Only 50 years ago, computers were bigger than people. Nowadays, people can carry their laptops with them everywhere they go. Soon, we may be able to step inside a computer world thanks to the magic of virtual reality (虚拟现实).
What is virtual reality, or VR? If something is virtual, then it is created by computer technology and appears as if it were real. Virtual reality is a computer system with a special headset (耳机). When you put on the headset, you look at two tiny television screens. They are so close to your eyes that your mind will see the image as one picture, and you will believe that you have entered a different world. In many systems, you also wear a special data glove. With this glove you can reach out and touch things in the artificial world.
The first VR games, already sold around the world, enable you to drive a sports car, fly a plane, or fight an enemy. In the future, it may be difficult to tell the virtual world of the games from the real world outside. However, VR is not just for entertainment. One day, cheerful children will be able to learn geography by observing exciting foreign countries without having to leave their classroom. They will be excited to learn history by visiting the pyramids of Egypt, or by hand-feeding friendly dinosaurs. In addition, business will be able to use VR for many tasks. Cars designed using computers can be tested as virtual machines first, before they are produced in metal. Architects will be able to make virtual buildings, which they can walk around and check ahead of schedule. VR can help us in hundreds of ways.
Despite the advantages, concerned critics have warned that there could be dangers in this powerful new medium. Will we have VR games in which people can commit virtual crimes (犯罪)? After people get used to VR, will they want to return to reality? Will we forget how to live and work with real people? On the other hand, some people think that VR will help us improve the world. By experimenting harmlessly inside a VR world, we will be able to see the dangers we may face in the future. Then we will be able to avoid them in real life.
No doubt there will be some problems with VR, as there are with all new inventions. However, one thing is for sure: VR is here to stay. Get ready to step into another world!
26. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. The amazing world has been created.
B. The easy operation of virtual reality.
C. The big changes of computer science.
D. The big influence of virtual reality.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. VR games change classroom education.
B. Problems of virtual world can be solved by VR.
C. The development of VR is revolutionary.
D. VR can be applied to different fields.
28. What is the author’s attitude to VR?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful.
C. Grateful. D. Unconcerned.
29. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Future World
B. A Shocking Life
C. Great Changes
D. Virtual Reality

Dr Michio Kaku
Physicist and professor
40,000 people will work in space
Dr Michio Kaku is a professor at the City College of New York and a graduate of Harvard University. His book, The Physics of the Impossible, is about how science fiction technology may be possible in the future.
“By 2030, space tourism will almost certainly be common and around 40,000 people will work in space. A company called the Space Island Group is planning to build an international space station with hotels, research facilities, restaurants and sports arenas (for new zero-gravity sports). Other companies are working on similar projects. And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won’t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your car and translates what you hear into your own language.”
Ray Kurzweil
Scientist, inventor, author and entrepreneur (企业家)
Our brains will merge (混合) with machines
Many of Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about the future have come true. For example, in the early 1990s he predicted the growth of the Internet. Now Kurzweil believes that robots and humans will one day merge.
“The future will be far more surprising than most people realize. By the end of the 2030s, robots will be more intelligent than humans. Before that time, humans and machines will start to merge. We have 100 trillion very slow connections in our brain. Tiny robots(nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills. These nanobots will allow our brains to talk directly to computers, and they will also allow our brains to communicate wirelessly with other brains. Billions of nanobots will also travel through our bodies. They will keep us healthy. As a result, we will be able to live forever.”
30. According to Dr Michio Kaku, what will no longer be a barrier for people working in space?
A. Time. B. Internet.
C. Language. D. Gravity.
31. According to Ray Kurzweil, what will nanobots do?
A. They will help save some of our memories.
B. They will help some parts in our brain work better.
C. They will help us develop a logic way of thinking.
D. They will help detect what disease we are down with.
32. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future Will Surprise Us
B. The Development of Science
C. Scientists Worried about Technology
D. Famous Quotes about Computers and the Internet
三、书面表达
33. 你校组织以“the future smart life”为主题的英语演讲比赛。请你根据下列要点展开畅想写一篇英文演讲稿。
1.家庭方面;
2.学习方面。
注意:1写作词数应为80左右;

参考答案
一、
1. keep in touch with
【解析】考查动词短语和动词不定式。根据空格数可知,表示“及时了解”应用动词短语keep in touch with。it be+adj+to do意为“做某事是……的”,此处用it作形式主语,to do不定式为真正的主语,所以此处应用动词原形和to构成动词不定式。故填①keep②in③touch④with。
2. apologize for
【解析】考查固定短语。结合句意表示“道歉”短语为apologize for,且上文为would like to do sth.。故填apologize for。
3. Below is an essay
【解析】考查倒装句和时态。根据中英文提示,be below“在下面”,置于句首,句子用部分倒装,an essay“一篇文章”,作主语,根据句意可知,句子用一般现在时,主语是单数,谓语动词用单数。故填Below is an essay。
4. will you be doing
【解析】考查动词时态。根据汉语句意可知,此处表示“明天这个时候你正在做什么”,表示将来某个时间正在发生的事,用将来进行时will be doing;此处为特殊疑问句,应将助动词will提到主语之前。故填will you be doing。
5. Occupied in finishing the homework Occupying myself in finishing the homework
【解析】考查固定搭配和非谓语动词。“忙于做某事”为短语be occupied in doing sth.,“完成作业”为finish the homework,位于介词in后面finish应用动名词形式,“忙于完成作业”翻译为be occupied in finishing the homework,句中有谓语,前后无连词,此处在句中作状语,故去掉be动词,应用形容词短语occupied in finishing the homework作状语;“忙于做某事”也可用短语occupy oneself in doing sth.,句中有谓语,前后无连词,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,动词occupy和主语I是主动关系,应用现在分词occupying作状语,句首单词首字母大写,故填①Occupied in finishing the homework②Occupying myself in finishing the homework。
6. will be playing
【解析】考查动词时态。句意:下周五我会去另一场音乐会,当时他们将演奏莫扎特的作品。分析句子可知,句中时间状语为next Friday和at that time,因此使用将来进行时表达在未来某一时间会在进行的动作。故填will be playing。
【点睛】
7. rather than a housewife
【解析】考查连词,名词。“而不是”译为固定搭配rather than,连接两个并列的成分;“家庭主妇”译为a housewife,和“a career woman”为并列成分。故填rather than a housewife。
8. will probably be waiting
【解析】考查形容词。句意:当我到家时,我妈妈可能正在等我吃午饭。wait for等待。根据句意,此处表示将来某个时间点正在进行时的动作,应用将来进行时。“可能”是probably。故填will probably be waiting。
9. the weather is not so predictable/it’s hard to predict the weather
【解析】考查名词、形容词。句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时。根据句意可知,表示“天气”为名词the weather作句子的主语,表示“可预测的”应为形容词predictable,此处应为否定意义,为is not so predictable,也可以用固定句型it’s+形容词+to do,“不好预测”理解为“很难预测”,翻译为it’s hard to predict the weather,it作形式主语,to predict为真正的主语。故填the weather is not so predictable/it’s hard to predict the weather。
10. It was predicted
【解析】考查固定句型。根据汉语提示,“据预测”可以用固定句型:It be predicted that表示;根据后面的would可知,句子应该用过去时,所以be形式用was,故填It was predicted。
11. will taking
【解析】考查时态。表示“眯一会儿”短语为take a nap,结合上文Don’t call me at 12 o’clock. 可知表示将来某个时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的或持续的动作应用将来进行时。故填①will;②taking。
12. keep in touch with
【解析】考查固定短语。对比中英文句子可知,空格处意为“与……保持联系”,是固定短语keep in touch with,can是情态动词,其后跟动词原形,故填keep in touch with。
13. absence that
【解析】考查名词、状语从句。第一空前有定冠词the,空后有介词of,故空处需要填absent的名词形式;so that为固定句型,引导目的状语从句表示“以便”、“为了”,符合题干。故填absence,that。
14. for she would be flying to Beijing the next day
【解析】考查动词时态。根据提示可知,此处应为将来进行时态,表示“飞往北京”应为fly to +地点,且表示将来进行的基本构成为“should/would be doing”,第三人称通常使用would,所以表示“她要飞往北京”应为she would be flying to Beijing,表示“第二天”应为the next day作句子的时间状语,根据句意,此处表示对上一句的原因进行解释说明 ,所以使用并列连词for。故填for she would be flying to Beijing the next day。
15. will be watching
【解析】考查时态。“在电视上收看新闻”表达为watch the news on TV,根据时间状语At 7:00 this evening以及汉语提示“将正在电视上收看新闻”可知,谓语动词应用将来进行时(will be doing),表示将来某一时间正在进行的动作。故填will be watching。
16. keep in touch with
【解析】考查动词短语。中英文对比可知英文句子中缺少“与……保持联系”,用短语keep in touch with,结合空格前的please可知主句是祈使句,用动词原形即可。故填①keep ②in ③touch ④with。
17. opposed to doing/conducting/performing
【解析】考查形容词、介词和动名词。根据句意,“反对做某事”应为固定搭配be opposed to doing sth,本句无连词,且已有谓语动词“made”,所以应为形容词作定语;“做实验”为固定搭配do/conduct/perform the experiment,照应介词to,应为doing形式。故填opposed to doing/conducting/performing。
18. keep in touch with
【解析】考查动词短语。结合句意“保持联系”可知短语为keep in touch with,此处为肯定祈使句。故填keep in touch with。
19. the way (that/in which) you look at the world
【解析】考查定语从句。“方式”为名词way,此处是特指,前面应用定冠词来修饰,“你看待世界和世人”为定语从句修饰the way,“看待世界”为look at the world,“你看待世界和世人”描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,翻译为you look at the world and the people in it,修饰先行词the way,且关系词在从句中作状语,应用that/in which或省略关系词来引导定语从句,故填the way (that/in which) you look at the world。
20. be attending
【解析】考查时态。“参加”应为动词attend,照应时间状语“at 10:00 am tomorrow”,应为将来进行时,表示明天上午十点正在进行的动作。故填be attending。
21. We will be living in houses and flats/We will be living in houses and apartments
【解析】考查将来进行时。句意:我们会像今天一样生活在房子和公寓里。分析句子结构可知,此处表示将来某时进行的状态或动作,或预料将来发生的某事,因此需使用将来进行时。“住在”可使用固定短语live in,“房子和公寓”可使用名词短语houses and flats/apartments。位于句首时首字母大写。故填We will be living in houses and flats/apartments。
22. oppose having classes are opposed to having classes
【解析】考查动词oppose用法。根据中文提示可知,表示“反对作某事”可用oppose doing sth或者be opposed to doing sth;表示“上课”应用短语have classes。句子陈述目前的情况,应用一般现在时。故填oppose having classes;are opposed to having classes。
23. Will you please bring
【解析】考查情态动词用法。此处疑问句中表示请求,应用will you please...,表示“搬进来”应用动词bring。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Will you please bring。
24. I’ll be lying on the beach
【解析】考查时态。由This time next week和句意可知,句子描述将来某一时间正在做的事,应用将来进行时,“我”为I,作主语,“躺”为动词lie,其现在分词为lying,“在沙滩上”为短语on the beach,故填I’ll be lying on the beach。
25. I will be having an English class
【解析】考查时态,短语和代词。“我”可以表示为“I”;“上英语课”可以表示为“have an English class”,句意表示“将来某段时间正在进行的动作”,可以表示为will be doing的结构,故填I will be having an English class。

Soon, we may be able to step inside a computer world thanks to the magic of virtual reality (虚拟现实). (仅仅在50年前,电脑比人还大。如今,人们可以随身携带笔记本电脑。很快,由于虚拟现实的魔力,我们可能能够进入一个计算机世界。)”可知,本段描述了计算机50年前、如今、未来的模样,三个阶段各有不同,因此主要内容是计算机科学的巨大变化。故选C项。

【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Michio Kaku博士和Ray Kurzweil两个科学家的身份以及关于未来的观点和言论。
30. 细节理解题。根据“Dr Michio Kaku”下面的“And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won’t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your car and translates what you hear into your own language.(人们在太空中会说什么语言?好吧,这可能无关紧要,因为很可能有一台小电脑可以放在你的车里,把你听到的翻译成你自己的语言)”可知,对于未来在太空中工作的人来说,语言将不会成为障碍。故选C。
31. 细节理解题。根据“Ray Kurzweil”下面的“Tiny robots (nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills.(微型机器人,即纳米机器人,将被植入我们的大脑,以提高我们的记忆力和思维能力)”可知,纳米机器人可以提高人类的记忆力和思维能力,也就是帮助大脑的某些部分更好地运转。故选B。
