UNIT 2　LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE [读与练·阅读限时训练一] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。作者由一名杂志记者发表的关于未来生活的文章引出话题并展开了自己对未来2050年碳排放减少后的某一天的生活的畅想。 1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“这一切听起来像是一片绿色和宜人的土地，但对我来说，这并不像未来”。可推知，作者认为 Adam 在文中所描绘的 Isla的生活并不吸引他。故选B。 2.D　推理判断题。根据第四段“伊迪住在一栋老房子的车库里，那是她的公寓和工作室。她认为自己非常幸运，能在她祖父母的房子里拥有这个车库。如今住在房子里的人，要么是从父母那里得到房子，要么是来自世界各地的百万富翁，他们迫切希望搬到气候凉爽、水资源充足的加拿大，而且有能力支付数百万美元的移民签证费”。以及倒数第三段最后一句“事实上，房地产销售已经成为这个国家最大的产业”可推断，2050 年时多伦多市的房价会很高。故选D。 3.D　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段前两句“现在，伊迪正在检查她的个人碳排放额度(PCA)账户的余额，看看她是否有足够的钱为她的电动自行车再买一块进口电池。如果她没有足够的钱，她将不得不购买碳信用额度，而它们是昂贵的”。可知，伊迪会担忧自己的碳排放额度是否会超标，也就是能量消费问题。故选D。 4.C　写作意图题。根据首段第一句“《新科学家》杂志的首席记者亚当最近发表了一篇题为《零净生活：碳中和世界里你的一天会是什么样子》的文章”以及第三段“这是一个有趣的练习，想象30年后会是什么样子。我想我应该试一试：这里有一些关于2050年生活在加拿大多伦多的伊迪的推测性小说”。可推知，作者的写作目的是想象未来碳排放减少后的生活。故选C。 B [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过某社交媒体的“时间旅行”滤镜会显示出人变老的过程，而“时间旅行”滤镜给人们带来的感受各不相同。 5.B　细节理解题。根据首段第三、四句“本月，人们爱上了某社交媒体，通过‘时间旅行’滤镜实时分享自己的‘衰老’。配上悲伤的歌曲，效果会显示使用者的脸慢慢变老，布满皱纹和太阳黑子”。可知，“时间旅行”滤镜能实时分享人们“衰老”的过程，使用者能看到脸部慢慢变老，由此可知，“时间旅行”滤镜能使人们看到他们衰老的过程。故选B。 6.D　段落大意题。根据第三段第二句“并非所有人都对此感到高兴。布朗的一个朋友不喜欢看着时间飞逝”可知，并不是所有的人都希望看到时间飞逝，并列举了Brown的一个朋友对时间飞逝的态度，结合第四段第一句“对其他人来说，‘时间旅行’滤镜带来了意想不到的积极感受”可知，“时间旅行”滤镜会给其他人带来一些积极的感受，进而列举了演员Jonathan Bennett和Nicole Loehle对“时间旅行”滤镜的积极感受，由此可知，第三段和第四段主要介绍的是对“时间旅行”衰老效应的不同反应。故选D。 7.C　推理判断题。根据第三段后三句“她无法忍受看着自己在15秒内变老50岁——生活真的过得那么快吗？ Brown在自己的小女儿身上使用了抗衰老效果后，自己都哭了。她指出，她不会活着看到女儿那么老”。可知，Brown无法忍受看着自己变老，她认为自己不会活着看到女儿变得那么老，由此可知，Brown认为不是每一个人都那么幸运地活到变老。故选C。 8.C　标题归纳题。根据首段第三、四句“本月，人们爱上了某社交媒体，通过‘时间旅行’滤镜实时分享自己的‘衰老’。配上悲伤的歌曲，效果会显示使用者的脸慢慢变老，布满皱纹和黑斑”可知，当前人们喜欢上了某社交媒体上的“时间旅行”滤镜，它能是人们分享自己“衰老”的过程，看到自己的脸在慢慢变老，结合下文中介绍的不同人对“时间旅行”衰老效应的不同反应可知，本文主要介绍的是人们对某社交媒体上的“时间旅行”衰老效应的不同反应，所以题目“某社交媒体的‘时间旅行’：享受还是受苦”与本段的内容吻合，且概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C。 C [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是作者对2080年的教育的展望。 9.D　段落大意题。根据第一段第二、三句“直到2035年左右，教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的。故选D。 10.A　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“学校已经被不受年龄限制的‘学习中心’所取代。”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。 11.D　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“做人和人类历史”可知，做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，画线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 12.B　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第三四句“在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点，我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子。”可知，本文主要介绍的是作者对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education (教育远景)”。故选B。 Ⅱ.七选五 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对2050年的生活展开的预测，主要包含四点：每个人免费使用网络；私人飞机会被广泛应用于短途行程；大多数癌症会被治好；人类会居住在其他星球上。 1.B　上文提出一个问题，未来的科技将走向何方？下文是对未来的一些预测，故B项“让我们开始我们的预测吧”承上启下，故选B。 2.A　根据上下文可知，未来互联网对每个人都是免费的可能性很大，故空处是叙述目前还没有对所有人免费，A项“虽然它还没有发生”符合语境，故选A。 3.F　根据下文可知，空处与下文是因果关系，应是描述是什么导致私人飞机成为一种普通的交通方式，结合选项，F项“道路上的交通将会更加繁忙”符合语境，故选F。 4.G　根据本段主题句及下文可知，大多数癌症都会被成功治疗，所以癌症造成的死亡人数会下降，这将是医学史上的一项巨大成就，G项“癌症造成的死亡人数将大大减少”符合语境，故选G。 5.E　根据本段中“In the year 2050, humans will be able to live on Mars.”可知，本段是关于人类未来在其他星球上居住，E项“人类将居住在其他星球”符合语境，故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了未来生活——在3000年，医疗技术、服装、住房以及出行等方面，“智能科技”将无处不在。 1.a　考查冠词。have a look为固定短语，表示“看一看”，所以空处应用不定冠词a。故填a。 2.better　考查形容词比较级。根据句中“than”可知，句子表示医疗技术与以往任何时候相比都要更好，空处应用形容词的比较级形式better，表示“更好的”。故填better。 3.treatment　考查名词。分析句子结构，anti­aging是形容词，作定语修饰名词，结合不定冠词an，所以空处应用名词treatment作动词have的宾语，表示“治疗”。故填treatment。 4.which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词particles，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。 5.be designed　考查语态。分析句子结构，空处为句子谓语，design与主语they之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，且情态动词can后接动词原形形式。故填be designed。 6.will find　考查时态。if引导条件状语从句，根据“主将从现”原则，从句使用一般现在时表示将来，主句应用一般将来时。故填will find。 7.healthily　考查副词。空处修饰动词eat，应用副词形式作状语，healthily是副词，表示“健康地”，符合句意。故填healthily。 8.themselves　考查代词。空处作动词drive的宾语，且宾语与主语cars一致，空处应用反身代词themselves，表示“它们自己”。故填themselves。 9.to change　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构，it为形式主语，空处应用不定式形式作真正的主语。故填to change。 10.to　考查介词。look forward to意为“期待”，是固定短语，故填to。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·江西阶段练习)New Scientist magazine's chief reporter Adam recently published “Net­zero living: how your day will look in a carbon­neutral world”.Here, he imagines what a typical day would be like in the future—through the eyes of Isla, a child in 2050. Isla lives in the south of the United Kingdom and her life looks pretty much like life does today: she has a house, a car, a job, and a cup of tea in the morning.There are great forests, and giant machines sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.It all sounds like a green and pleasant land, but it didn't sound like the future to me. It's an interesting exercise, imagining what it will be like in about 30 years.I thought I would give it a try: here is some speculative fiction about Edie, living in Toronto, Canada in 2050. Edie lives in the garage in an old house that is her apartment and workshop.She considers herself to be very lucky to have this garage in what was her grandparents' house.The only people who live in houses these days either get the houses from their parents or are multi­millionaires from all over the world, desperate to move to Canada with its cooler climate and plentiful water and are able to afford the million­dollar immigrant visa fee. Edie is lucky to be working.There are no office or industrial jobs anymore: Artificial Intelligence and robots took care of that.The few jobs left are in service, culture, craft, health care, or real estate.In fact, selling real estate has become the nation's biggest industry. There may be lots of electricity from wind and solar farms, but even running tiny heat pumps for cooling is really expensive at peak times.The streets are unpleasantly hot, so many people sleep through the midday. Now Edie is checking the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA)account to see if she has enough to buy another imported battery for her e­bike.If she doesn't have enough then, she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive.She sets her alarm for 6：00 p.m.when the streets of Toronto will come alive again on this hot November day. 1.What does the author think of Isla's life? A.Desirable.　　　　　　 B.Unappealing. C.Unachievable. D.Exciting. 2.What will Toronto be like in 2050? A.Many people will immigrate abroad. B.Its climate will get colder and colder. C.Electricity will be very cheap to use. D.The house prices will be extremely high. 3.What might be Edie's large concern? A.The house problem. B.Being out of work. C.The balance of her bank account. D.The energy consumption. 4.What is the purpose of this passage? A.To point out Adam's unreasonable thinking. B.To compare the present life and the future life. C.To imagine the life after reducing carbon emissions. D.To raise people's awareness of environmental protection.

Camera filters that age you have been around for years.But advancements in AI are making the results more real.Doctor Aleksandra Brown said the social media time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age. As we get older, our facial skin thins, fat dissolves and gravity pulls everything downward.Not everyone is pleased about this.One of Brown's friends didn't like watching time fly past.She couldn't stand watching herself age 50 years in 15 seconds—could life really go by that fast? Brown cried herself after using the aging effect on her own young daughter.She won't live to see her daughter get that old, she pointed out. For other people, the time travel filter brought up unexpected positive feelings.Actor Jonathan Bennett shared a video saying his own filtered face recalled happy memories of his late father.Nicole Loehle, a 24­year­old in New Jersey, tested the effect with her boyfriend.It gave her a new viewpoint, she said, she could imagine the relationship lasting into their old age. There's no correct way to age.But it's important to remember that no one can stop time or undo its effects.“I keep trying to view aging as a gift.” Brown said, “Some people don't get to age, unfortunately？” 5.What can people do with the filter “time travel”？ A.Find their partners. B.See their aging faces. C.Experience others' lives. D.Guess their future success. 6.What are paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Reminders of the good old days. B.Reasons for using the aging effect. C.Reflections on close personal relationships. D.Responses to the aging effect of “time travel”. 7.Which of the following would Brown probably agree with? A.It's good to watch time fly past. B.The “time travel” needs advancements. C.Not everyone is fortunate enough to get old. D.Social media invented the first app with aging effect. 8.What can be the best title for the text? A.Social Media “Time Travel”： Slowly or Quickly B.Social Media “Time Travel”： Backward or Forward C.Social Media “Time Travel”： to Enjoy or to Suffer D.Social Media “Time Travel”： to Develop or to Drop [二次精读] 重点 单词 filter/'fɪltə(r)/ n.滤镜；过滤器　　　　　wrinkle/'rɪk(ə)l/ n.皱纹 dissolve/dɪ'zɒlv/ v.溶解 late/leɪt/adj.已故的 undo/ʌn'duː/ v.消除……影响或结果 重点 短语 bring up　　提出 view...as... 把……看作 语块 积累 stare sb right in the face　盯着某人的脸看 get to age 步入老年 长难句 分析 Doctor Aleksandra Brown said the social media time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age. 亚历山德拉·布朗博士说，社交媒体的时间旅行过滤器可以很好地猜测一张给定的脸会如何老化。 分析：这是一个主从复合句。the social media time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age.是省略that的宾语从句，how引导宾语从句。 C Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s.Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.In 2080, the purpose of education is the well­being of society and all its members.To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child's education looks like in 2080.Her name is Shemsy.Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist.The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment.Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher­citizen”.Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community.She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity.Shemsy works a lot collaboratively.Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly.Variability between students is expected and leveraged as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength.Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets.She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve，and how does it transform our societies? 9.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A.There are different types of education. B.The present education needs improvements. C.Education and economy are closely associated. D.The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 10.What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A.It accepts students of all ages. B.It promotes competition. C.It discourages individualized learning. D.It is all about play­based learning. 11.What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Tough.　　　　 B.Satisfactory. C.Optional. D.Required. 12.What is the suitable title for the text? A.An Example to All B.A Vision for Education C.A Challenge for Education D.A Journey into the Future [二次精读] 重点 单词 distinctive/dɪ'stɪktɪv/ adj.　独特的，与众不同的 tangible/'tændʒəb(ə)l/ adj. 明确的，真实的 abolish/ə'bɒlɪʃ/ v. 废除，废止，取消 core/kɔː(r)/ adj. 核心的，最重要的；必修的 differentiate /ˌdɪfə'renʃieɪt/ v. 使不同 leverage/'liːvərɪdʒ/ v. 充分利用(资源、观点等) 重点 短语 be replaced with被替换为……　　　　　in line with与……一致 be engaged in从事某事 be involved in参与，涉及 语块 积累 be widely thought of as　被普遍认为…… be restricted to 被限制在……范围内 a lifelong pursuit 一生的追求 长难句 分析 They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. 它们是代际学习发生的地方，与学习是一种终身追求的信念相一致。 分析：这是一个主从复合句。where引导表语从句，that引导同位语从句；对the belief的内容进行解释说明。 Ⅱ.七选五 2050 seems a long way away, but it is not impossible to predict the future though.With the speed we are moving now so many amazing things are going to happen in the future.So where is technology going in the future？__1__ ◇The Internet will be free for everyone.
