Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC. Digital money We need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next. Bionic（仿生的）eye It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away. Self-driving cars Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 37. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money? A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money. B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card. D. ATM cards are always popular. 38. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. B. Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside. C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future. D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used. 39. From the report, we can learn some information about ______. A. culture and art B. industry and farming C. science and technology D. traffic and shopping 40. Which of the following can be predicted（预测）from the passage? A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road. B. The blind could use cameras to see things around. C. We would live a hard life with digital money. D. Robots would control the world. 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了未来会发生什么？机器人会控制地球吗？电脑会比我们聪明吗？不太可能，但是根据英国广播公司报道，科学家们认为未来的10-30年间，会有3个方面实现突破，分别是数字货币、仿生眼睛和无人驾驶。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.”可知，在将来数字货币是最有可能代替现金使用的。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away.”可知，未来几年里，仿生眼睛会更加完善，选项C“将来盲人戴上仿生眼睛可以看得更清楚”是正确的。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.”及通读全文可知，可知本文讲述了将来会发生的一些事情，根据英国广播公司报道，科学家们认为未来的10-30年间可能会发生的一些事情。因此从这份报告中，我们可以了解到科学与技术方面的信息。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.”可知，在将来路上会有很多自动驾驶汽车，选项A是正确的。故选A。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At a restaurant, a beetle (甲虫) suddenly flew in through the door and fell upon a woman’s jacket. ____41____.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在餐馆里一只甲虫先后落在三位顾客身上，两位女士表现得惊慌失措只是试图抖掉甲虫，而小男孩则冷静地抓住甲虫并将其扔出餐馆的故事；通过这个故事，作者传达了冷静思考并采取有效行动的重要性。 【41题详解】 根据上文“a beetle suddenly flew in through the door and fell upon a woman’s jacket.”以及下文“She started jumping and tried to shake the beetle off of her jacket.”可知，一只甲虫突然从门飞进来落在一位女士的夹克上，她开始跳起来并试图把甲虫从夹克上抖掉，所以此处应描述这位女士惊恐的反应；选项A“这位女士发出一声尖叫”符合语境。故选A。 【42题详解】 根据上文“but it flew to rest on another woman’s dress.”和下文“Then the beetle fell upon a boy’s sweater.”可知，甲虫飞到了另一位女士的裙子上，然后甲虫落在了一个男孩的毛衣上，所以此处是指第二位女士也会有类似第一位女士的惊恐反应；选项E“像第一位女士一样，第二位女士尖叫着并抖动她的裙子”符合语境。故选E。 【43题详解】 根据下文“When he thought that the time was right for action, he quickly covered the beetle with the paper, caught it, and threw it out of the restaurant.”可知，男孩认为采取行动的时机合适时，他迅速用纸张盖住甲虫，抓住它，并把它扔出了餐馆，所以此处男孩应该是先拿起了一张纸；选项C“然后他慢慢地从桌子上拿起一张纸”符合语境。故选C。 【44题详解】 根据下文“The three people reacted differently to the beetle and had different results in the end.”可知，这三个人对甲虫的反应不同，最终也有不同的结果，所以此处是指作者看到这些后有了一些想法；选项B“在看到这一切之后，一些想法出现在我的脑海中”符合语境。故选B。 【45题详解】 根据下文“I just meant that the boy did better.”可知，作者只是认为这个男孩做得更好，所以此处作者是在解释，不是说两位女士做错了什么；选项D“我并不是说那两位女士做错了什么”符合语境。故选D。 四、写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。（每空限填一词） Iris is a six-year-old girl.

When she was three years old, her mother found that she had a great talent (天赋) for painting. From then on, Iris often spent her day painting. However, Iris still felt l____47____ and her parents tried many ways to cheer her up. For example, they introduced her to many interesting c____48____ like Tom and Jerry. But it didn’t work. Then they learned that animals were good for children with autism, so they brought the cat called Thula home. When Thula arrived, Iris was soon a____49____ by her.

(s)uffered 47. (l)onely 48. (c)artoons 49. (a)ttracted 50. (f)riendship 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个患有自闭症的六岁女孩Iris通过绘画和猫咪Thula的陪伴逐渐变得开朗的故事。 【46题详解】 句意：她自出生以来就患有自闭症。根据空后“autism”表示疾病可知，此处指患病，suffer from“受折磨”，此处用过去分词形式，构成现在完成时。故填(s)uffered。 【47题详解】 句意：然而，Iris仍然感到孤独，她的父母尝试了很多方法来让她高兴起来。根据“However, Iris still felt…and her parents tried many ways to cheer her up.”的语境并结合首字母提示可知，此处指小女孩感到孤独，lonely“孤独的”。故填(l)onely。 【48题详解】 句意：例如，他们向她介绍了许多有趣的动画片，如《猫和老鼠》。根据“like Tom and Jerry”并结合首字母提示可知，此处指动画片，cartoon“动画片”，根据空前的“many”可知，此处用复数形式。故填(c)artoons。 【49题详解】 句意：当Thula到达时，Iris很快就被她吸引住了。根据下文“They got along very well in just a few weeks.”并结合首字母提示可知，Iris和Thula相处得很好，应是Iris很快就被她吸引住了，attract“吸引”，此处用过去分词形式，构成被动语态。故填(a)ttracted。 【50题详解】 句意：他们的友谊改变了Iris很多。根据上文“They got along very well in just a few weeks.”以及“Iris’s mother found that it was easier to make Iris speak with others when Thula was around.”并结合首字母提示可知，Iris和Thula相处得很好，此处指Iris和Thula之间的友谊，friendship“友谊”符合。故填(f)riendship。 第二节 完成句子（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。（每空只写一词） 51. 下周二将会上演一场时装秀。 A fashion show ________ ________ ________ ________ next Tuesday. 【答案】 ①. will ②. be ③. put ④. on 【解析】 【详解】对比中英文可知，空处缺少“将会上演”；根据英文题干和汉语提示可知，此处考查put on“上演；举办；演出”，动词短语；主语“A fashion show”和“put on”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；再根据“next Tuesday”可知，句子时态应用一般将来时，所以这里是一般将来时的被动语态，其结构为will be done，动词put的过去分词为put。故填will；be；put；on。 52. 这场事故发生在上周。 The accident ________ ________ last week. 【答案】 ①. took ②. place 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，take place“发生”，动词短语；根据“last week”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式。故填took；place。 53. 我们必须马上出发以便能赶上公交车。 We must ________ ________ at once ________ ________ we can catch the bus. 【答案】 ①. set ②. off ③. so ④. that 【解析】 【详解】set off“出发”，动词短语，第一空前为情态动词must，其后接动词原形；so that“以便”，引导目的状语从句。故填set；off；so；that。 54. 这部电影不如那部电影有趣。 This film is ________ ________ ________ ________ that one. 【答案】 ①. not ②. so##as ③. interesting ④. as 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，这里需要表达“不如……有趣”。 “不如……”译为not so…as或not as…as，中间接形容词或副词原级。“有趣的”译为interesting。 故填not；so/as；interesting；as。 55. 多么有用的一本书啊！ ________ ________ the book is! 【答案】 ①. How ②. useful 【解析】 【详解】对比中英文可知，空处缺少“多么有用的”；根据英文题干和汉语提示可知，此处考查感叹句；useful“有用的”，形容词，所以这里应用“How +形容词+主语+谓语！”结构，how位于句首，首字母要大写。故填How；useful。 第三节 书面表达 （15分。请保持卷面整洁；分段会令你的文章看起来更有条理。） 56. 假如你学校剪纸社的成员，你要向来校参观的外国朋友介绍指导老师钟老师，以下是你的介绍要点： (1) 钟老师50多岁，但是身体健康，从小就对剪纸感兴趣，并学习剪纸多年。 (2) 她技艺高超，能够剪出各种形状，如人物、动物、花和代表吉祥健康的汉字 (Chinese characters for health or good luck)。去年她举办过展览，作品很受欢迎。人们认为她的作品很美，能够带来好运，甚至想买她的作品带回家。 (3) 你的评价。 要求： 1. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯 2. 80-120词左右。(文章开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数) Dear Friends, I am a member of the paper cutting club in my school and I want to introduce our teacher Miss Zhong and her paper cutting to you. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for listening! 【答案】例文 Dear Friends I am a member of the paper cutting club in my school and I want to introduce our teacher Miss Zhong and her paper cutting to you.

He wrote a book about his travels. In his book he wrote all the things he saw and heard of. Many people read the book but few believed what Marco Polo said. He spoke of strange people and places that nobody knew about at that time. As a young man, Marco Polo decided to travel together with his father. It took them more than three years to travel to China. He became the Chinese emperor’s friend. He learned the Chinese language when he travelled a round and talked to many people. Before he reached the age of thirty, he was made a Chinese official. After nearly seventeen years in the east, Marco and his father prepared to return home.

The superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko first appeared in 1962 in a comic named Amazing Fantasy#15. The story began with Peter Parker, a teenager who got magic abilities after being hurt by a spider and then became a superhero. Today, Spider-Man is one of the world’s favourite superheros. The character can be seen on anything like toys, clothes, books and so on. There is even an exhibition (展览) called Beyond Amazing: Spider-Man at the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego, California USA. On 20th July, 2022, the superhero entered the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame (名人堂), which was created in 2019. Spider-Man is the fourth superhero that has received the honour. The other three are Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, “Nearly everyone knows this amazing character,” said Rita Vandergaw—a leader of the museum, as she presented the honour. “Spider-Man, the friendly neighbourhood superhero, is one of the most famous idols in the world and a great example of the power of comics and the popular arts. ” “I grew up reading comics, and I love Spider-Man,” said Lan Cebulski—a leader of the Marvel Comics (漫威动画). “Spider-man taught me the value of hard work and believing your dreams.” Fans of all ages often dress up as Spider-Man. “The message of Spider-Man is that anybody can wear the mask (面具)” said 14-year-old Zaky Lozuk—a big fan of Spider-Man. “There is a Spider-Man story for everybody to find themselves in.” Exhibitions like the one in San Diego encourage visitors to step into the story and imagine the heroes of tomorrow. “Spider-Man just continues to grow,” said Brian Crosby—a creative director. “Some day, your kids are going to write the next stories of Spider-Man, and we’ll have a front-row seat (前排座位) for whatever those stories are.” 33.

He encourages visitors to go to Spider-Man exhibitions. （D） What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC. Digital money We need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next. Bionic（仿生）eye It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away. Self-driving cars Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 37. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money? A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money. B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card. D. ATM cards are always popular. 38. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. B. Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside. C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future. D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used. 39. From the report, we can learn some information about ______. A. culture and art B. industry and farming C. science and technology D. traffic and shopping 40. Which of the following can be predicted（预测）from the passage? A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road. B. The blind could use cameras to see things around. C. We would live a hard life with digital money. D. Robots would control the world. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At a restaurant, a beetle (甲虫) suddenly flew in through the door and fell upon a woman’s jacket. ____41____.

They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others. The boy did something different and solved the problem once and for all (彻底地). ____45____.

I didn’t mean that the two women did something wrong E.
