三、阅读理解
Science and technology will continue to develop. Nature and Business in 2023 have made their predictions. Let’s have a look.
Human-like friendsRobots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities. These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles-in areas like health care and scientific research.
Protecting the earthOne of the most difficult challenges the world faces today is reducing carbon emissions. This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel will be buried 400 meters underground.
Space and beyondThe images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope—the James Webb Space Telescope—have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China will continue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time.
Staying connectedPeople will communicate more smoothly. In China, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System can now be directly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are even when there’s no signal. A US company is also working on a direct connection between phones and satellites. The impact of 5G will continue to grow.
11.We can probably read this article in a __________.
A.magazine B.guidebook C.comic strip D.picture book
12.Human-like robots will do many things for people except __________.
A.serving as greeters or waiters B.taking good care of the old
C.playing roles in health and scientific research D.learning to use some space telescopes

A.The development of green energy. B.The exploration of the universe.
C.Improvements in communication technologies. D.Influence of climate change.

Unit 4 Life on Mars
第5课时 Task and Self-assessment
分层练习
一、单词拼写
1.Some young students like (电子的) books better than paper books.
【答案】electronic
【详解】句意:有些年轻学生喜欢电子书胜过纸质书。电子的:electronic,形容词,作定语。故填electronic。
2.After a whole day’s busy work, we should find some (娱乐) to relax ourselves.
【答案】entertainment
【详解】句意:忙碌了一天的工作后,我们应该找点娱乐放松一下。根据中文提示,entertainment“娱乐”符合语境, 为不可数名词。故填entertainment。
3.The high-speed trains are (令人大为惊奇的). They make travel much easier than before.
【答案】amazing
【详解】句意:高铁是令人惊奇的。它们使旅行比以前容易多了。形容词amazing表示“令人惊奇的”,修饰事物,在句中作表语。故填amazing。
4.It’s reported that thousands of papers (store) in a computer’s memory now.
【答案】are stored
【详解】句意:据报道,现在有数千篇论文存储在电脑的内存中。主语“thousands of papers”和谓语“store”之间是被动关系,根据“now”可知此处用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是名词复数,be动词用are。故填are stored。
5.It would be lots of fun (chat) online.
【答案】to chat
【详解】句意:网上聊天将会是很有趣的。It’s fun to do sth“做某事很有趣”。故填to chat。
二、单项选择
6.According to the guide ______ living on Mars, there is traffic ______ air pollution.
A.to; of B.of; without C.to; without D.of; of
【答案】C
【详解】句意:根据《火星生活指南》,火星上的交通没有空气污染。
考查介词辨析。to到;of属于;without没有。固定结构 the guide to意为 “……的指南”;后半句中表示“没有”应用介词without。故选C。
7.I still remember the days __________ we spent together at JingGang Mountain ______ is the famous place of interest.
A.when; where B.when; which C.which; which D.which; where
【答案】C
【详解】试题分析:句意:我仍然记得我们一起在井冈山,这个著名的名胜,度过的日子。本题考查的事定语从句。第一个定语从句是we spent together at Jinggang Mountain,其先行词是the days,通过分析可知,定语从句中缺少宾语,故应用关系代词;第二个定语从句是is the famous place of interest,在这个定语从句中缺少主语,因此也应用关系代词。故选C。
考点:考查定语从句。
8.Watching a movie at the cinema is a popular form of ________ for many people.
A.education B.transportation C.entertainment D.exhibition
【答案】C
【详解】句意:在电影院看电影对许多人来说是一种流行的娱乐方式。
考查名词辨析。education教育;transportation运输;entertainment娱乐,消遣;exhibition展览。根据“Watching a movie at the cinema is a popular form of...for many people.”可知,此处指的是“一种娱乐方式”,故选C。
9.—Which activity will you have on weekends, staying at home or going shopping?
—I prefer ________ at home rather than ________ shopping.
A.to stay; go B.staying; go C.staying; going D.to stay; going
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——周末你会做什么活动,待在家里还是去购物? ——我宁愿待在家里也不愿去购物。
考查非谓语动词。prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.意为“宁愿做……而不愿做……”,故第一空用动词不定式,第二空用动词原形,故选A。
10.There will be less pollution ________ more people use public transportation.
A.but B.though C.unless D.if
【答案】D
【详解】句意:如果更多人使用公共交通工具,将会有更少的污染。
考查从属连词的用法。but但是,表示转折;though尽管,表示让步;unless如果不,除非,表示条件;if如果,表示条件。根据句意可知空后的句子是空前句子的条件,即“如果更多人使用公共交通工具就会有更少的污染。”故选D。

【答案】11.A 12.D 13.A 14.B 15.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了《自然》和《商业》杂志在2023年的4个科技发明预测。
【详解】11.推理判断题。阅读全文可知,本文是《自然》和《商业》杂志在2023年的4个科技发明预测,我们可能会在杂志上看到这篇文章。故选A。
12.细节理解题。根据“These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles-in areas like health care and scientific research.”可知,类人机器人会充当迎宾员或服务员、照顾老人、在健康和科学研究中发挥作用,没有提到学习使用一些太空望远镜。故选D。
13.词句猜测题。根据“This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”可知,温室气体排放太多,因此要减少碳排放。emissions意为“排放”,sent out“送出”与其意思相近。故选A。
14.细节理解题。根据“And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe.”可知,欧几里得太空望远镜可以用来制作宇宙的三维地图。故选B。
15.推理判断题。根据“This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”可知,绿色能源有所发展;“Space and beyond”中提到了对宇宙的探索;“Staying connected”讲的是通信技术的改进。文章没有提到气候变化的影响。故选D。

【答案】例文
Dear Editor,
I’m glad to be invited to join this program. With the rapid development of science and technology, Artificial Intelligence becomes more and more popular in our daily life.
Artificial Intelligence can chat with people, it can help solve people’s problems. For example, it can help the students do homework correctly and solve the subject problems. Besides, it can design pictures in a short time.
However, it also has many disadvantages. If we always depend on it, it will make us lazy in mind. Its appearance will reduce people’s job opportunities.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
