A new sci-fi film is coming out. I know you like sci-fi films. Shall we go to see it? Peter: Oh, I’d love to! Which cinema shall we go to? Teng Fei: What about the Huaxia Cinema? Peter: Good idea! Teng Fei: OK. I’ll book the tickets online now... OK, done. The film starts at 5:15 p.m. Peter: Good. Shall we meet at the cinema at five o’clock? Teng Fei: All right. See you then! Section A, 1c Peter: What an exciting sci-fi film! I really loved the story. Teng Fei: Me too. But do you think the film was right? Will climate change be worse in the future? Peter: I’m afraid so. Some scientists believe there will be less land to grow food. Teng Fei: I don’t think there will be less land. Peter: You seem quite positive about the future. Teng Fei: I am. I read that people could plant trees and turn deserts into forests. And we can make more farmland too. Peter: Perhaps you are right. So, do you think we will still live on earth in the future? Teng Fei: Yes, but I believe we’ll keep on exploring space. Section A, 2a and 2d Helen: Hi, Jennifer. What’s up? Jennifer: Oh, hi, Helen. I’m watching a video about future predictions. Helen: So, what will the future be like? Jennifer: Well, there will be more people in cities, but the transport system will be more efficient. It means that there will be fewer traffic accidents. Helen: Sounds great! Any other predictions? Jennifer: Students probably won’t go to a school in the future. They will study at home or any place they want. Helen: Oh, but I really like going to school! Anything else? Jennifer: And people will live longer. Helen: Really? Why? Jennifer: Because we’ll have better health care technology in our homes. Machines will tell us how to solve small health problems before they become bigger. Helen: That’ll be great! How long will most people live? Jennifer: Well, some people will live to be over 100 years old. Some may even live to be 150. Helen: Wow, that sounds wonderful! Section B 1b Ready for Tomorrow? Host: Good evening, everyone! Our guest today is Dr Pete Roberts, author of the best - selling book Ready for Tomorrow. So welcome to our show, Dr Roberts. Guest: Good evening. Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here. Host: Dr Roberts, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years? Guest: Well, you'll see robots working everywhere. Host: Can you give us some examples? Guest: Well, we'll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen. Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future? Guest: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts. Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day? Guest: No, I don't. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things. Host: You mentioned AI. How will AI change our world? Guest: It will change the world in many ways. For example, we won't need to go to the supermarket. Smart refrigerators will understand our needs. When we are almost out of some food, they will order it for us. Host: Wow, that'll save us a lot of time! Now, my last question: How can we prepare for the future? Guest: It's simple. Just accept change. Keep learning and working hard. Today's choices will influence your future. Host: Thank you for your time, Dr Roberts. Reading Plus The Ant and the Grasshopper (Adapted from Aesop's Fables) It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. "Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper. "No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the winter." A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. "Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!" "No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You should plan for the winter." "But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's have a picnic!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work." The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. "Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter." And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. "Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!" "Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!" 人教英语八上单词+（听力+课文）文本+Reading Plus衡水体字帖 Unit 7 When Tomorrow Comes 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
