They turned the old, yellow pages. It was strange to read the words. They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen. 3 “What a waste!" said Tommy. “When you finish the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have a million books on it! I wouldn't throw it away." 4 Margie asked, “What's the book about?' 5 “School." 6 “Why would anyone write about school?” 7 “Because it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago They had a teacher, but it was a person. There was a special building and all the kids and teachers went there.” 8 Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, "Margie! School!" 9 Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. Her teacher was a machine. It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: “Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening.” 10 Margie did so sadly. She was thinking about the old schools. All the kids from the neighbourhood came and laughed and shouted in the playground. They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school. 11 And the teachers were people... 12 Margie was thinking about how the students must have loved school in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had. Adaptation from "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov 他们的乐趣 1 2157年5月17日，玛吉在日记中写道：“今天，汤米发现了一本真正的书！” 2这是一本很旧的书。他们翻了旧的黄页。读这些字很奇怪。他们一动不动地站在书页上，而不是在屏幕上移动。 3 “太浪费了！”汤米说。“我想，你读完这本书后，就把它扔掉吧。我们的电视屏幕上肯定有一百万本书！我不会扔掉的。” 4玛吉问：“这本书是关于什么的？” 5 “学校” 6 “为什么有人会写关于学校的事？” 7 “因为这是一所几百年前的老式学校。他们有一位老师，但那是一个人。有一座特殊的建筑，所有的孩子和老师都去了那里。” 8玛吉想读那些有趣的学校。但她妈妈叫道：“玛吉！上学！” 9玛吉的教室就在她的卧室旁边。她的老师是一台机器。它一直在等着她。屏幕亮了起来。机器说：“今天的课是数学。请把昨天的作业放在开头。” 10玛吉很伤心。她想起了那些旧学校。附近所有的孩子都来了，在操场上又笑又喊。他们一起坐在教室里，放学后一起回家。 11教师是人…… 12 玛吉在想，过去的学生们一定很喜欢学校。她在想他们玩得很开心。 改编自《他们的乐趣》艾萨克·阿西莫夫 ( 知识解析1 ) 1 These people are called “digital natives” or the “screen generation”. 这些人被称为“数字原住民”或“屏幕一代”。（教材P57） native /ˈneɪtɪv/ n. 本地人；久居某地的人 generation /ˌdʒenəˈreɪʃən/ n. 一代（人） Many traditional folk stories such as Yu Gong Moves the Mountains, Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, Chang’e Flies to the Moon, are passed down from one generation to the next. 许多传统民间故事，如《愚公移山》《后羿射日》《嫦娥奔月》等，代代相传。（云南中考） 2 What’s Timmy’s attitude to his mum trying to take his phone away? 蒂米对妈妈试图拿走他的手机是什么态度？（教材P57） attitude /ˈætɪtjuːd/ n. 看法，态度 attitude to/towards sb./sth. 对某人/某事的态度 Whatever happens, we should have a positive attitude to/towards life. 不论发生什么，我们应该以积极的态度面对生活。 3 They may also use words like What? or No! to show surprise or disagreement. 他们也可能使用“什么？”或“不！”来表示惊讶或分歧。（教材P57） disagreement /ˌdɪsəˈgriːmənt/ n. 意见不合，分歧，争论 disagreement with sb. 与某人的看法或观点不一致 disagreement on sth. 就……意见不一致 I have a few disagreements with her, but we’re still good friends. 我和她有一些分歧，但我们仍然是好朋友。 There is disagreement on the safety of the treatment. 这种疗法是否安全存在争论。 dis-为常见的否定前缀，表示“不；非；相反”。 常见的加dis-构成的词还有： like（v. 喜欢）→ dislike（v. 不喜欢） appear（v. 出现）→ disappear（v. 消失） believe（v. 相信）→ disbelieve（v. 不相信） advantage（n. 优势）→ disadvantage（n. 劣势） 4 At first, I felt quite bored, but... 起初，我觉得很无聊，但…… （教材P59） bored /bɔːd/ adj. 厌烦的，不感兴趣的 be/feel/get bored with 对……感到厌烦 A huge difference between AI and humans is that robots don’t create new things, and they don’t get bored with things.

One of the developments is cashless payment (无现金支付), which has 1 the way we live and shop. China is not the 2 country to have cashless payment. I used a debit card ( 借记卡) to 3 things without cash for years in the US. But now I can use my phone instead. It’s super easy and 4 . One of the things I like most is that I can send and receive money 5 to and from my friends. That’s because it makes it so much easier to share the bill when we eat out together. But like all technology, cashless payment has some 6 as well. What happens if your phone gets lost or stolen? There are also times when your phone’s mobile Internet connection, 7 the store’s Internet connection, might not work. Not long ago, I went to a nearby convenience store (便利店) to buy some snacks. But when I got there, I found that the store’s cashless payment system didn’t work and they could only 8 cash. I didn’t have any cash with me, so I had to 9 and leave without any snacks. So although cashless payment is convenient, you should 10 carry a bit of cash in order to avoid any possible inconvenience. 1. A. found B. realized C. challenged D. changed 2. A. last B. next C. second D. first 3. A. take off B. turn on C. pay for D. depend on 4. A. convenient B. relaxing C. different D. correct 5. A. wisely B. directly C. secretly D. safely 6. A. experiences B. secrets C. problems D. causes 7. A. and B. but C. for D. or 8. A. get B. accept C. need D. ask 9. A. turn off B. make up C. pass on D. give up 10. A. never B. hardly C. always D. seldom 二．阅读理解 A Technology can be a great way to learn. Apps, games, and websites make learning fun. But it’s easy to spend too much time looking at screens (屏幕). So, it’s important for students of all ages to know how to use technology the right way. Our brain works differently when we read on a screen compared to reading a book. Screens have things that can take our attention away. Reading a book helps us understand better and remember things more easily. Writing by hand is also better for our brain than typing ( 打字). When we write, we think more about what we’re writing, which is harder than just typing. Spending too much time on screens can be bad for kids. It can make it harder to focus (集中), do well in school, sleep, and exercise. Too much time with technology can also make it harder for kids to make friends in real life, which can make them feel lonely. It’s not always clear if technology helps us learn better. Technology can be great for learning, but it can also be dangerous. Parents and teachers can’t stop kids from using technology, but they can help them know when and how to use it the right way. 1. What does the writer think of apps and websites? A. They are simple. B. They are boring. C. They are useless. D. They are interesting. 2. Which paragraph tells us about online problems? (P= paragraph) A. P1. B. P2. C. P3. D. P4. 3. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the text? A. Kids. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Friends. B Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious ( 有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like. The 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth ( 宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths ( 深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. Space tours will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it real.” 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE? A. 3-D food will be easy to make but won’t taste good. B. With 5G, users will get only a little information. C. Underwater cities will provide more living space. D. A robot will do everything for us human beings. 2. What does the underlined word “unlimited” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Very little. B. Without limit. C. Hard to get. D. Very expensive. 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. People will live a hard life in the future. B. Technology will make our future better. C. People will have no real friends in the future. D. Technology will make no difference to our future. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. The development of 3-D food in the future. B. The functions of robots in the future. C. The advantages of the 5G network. D. Some guesses about the future life brought by technology. C Smart homes are becoming more and more popular these days. What is a smart home? A smart home is a living space with advanced technology. It allows you to control different devices (装置) in your home by just tapping on your smartphone—whether you’re at home or on your way to work. Smart homes include smart devices and systems, such as locks, fridges, bulbs, washing machines...You may wonder how they work. Smart speakers are used to play music or according to your schedule, smart fridges might suggest recipes and even order foods you need. All these devices work together as one to make your home smarter and your life... What are the advantages of a smart home? Firstly, it is convenient. You can control your home with smartphones or voices. Secondly, it’s helpful to avoid the unnecessary waste, so it possibly benefits the environment. Thirdly, if anything unusual happens around your home, the systems may begin to work to protect you and your home immediately. However, it may not be for everybody. Smart devices are usually more expensive than traditional ones. What’s more, smart home systems depend on connectivity and data (数据) collection, so privacy concerns may arise. Each coin has two sides, and so do smart homes. It’s up to you to design your own living environment. 1. What can you use to control different devices in a smart home? A. A TV remote control. B. A computer keyboard. C. A smartphone. D. A traditional phone. 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of smart fridges? A. Playing music. B. Suggesting recipes. C. Ordering foods you need. D. Working with other devices. 3. What might happen when something unusual appears around your home in a smart home? A. The devices will stop working. B. The systems will work to protect you and your home at once. C. You will be told after several hours. D. You need to call the police by yourself. 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code ( 二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate ( 使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me.” The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans ( 扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos. Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers because it makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s. Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education because education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.” However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students. 1. How do Mr. Guo’s students hand in their homework?

They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school. 11 And the teachers were people... 12 Margie was thinking about how the students must have loved school in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had. Adaptation from "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov 他们的乐趣 1 2157年5月17日，玛吉在日记中写道：“今天，汤米发现了一本真正的书！” 2这是一本很旧的书。他们翻了旧的黄页。读这些字很奇怪。他们一动不动地站在书页上，而不是在屏幕上移动。 3 “太浪费了！”汤米说。“我想，你读完这本书后，就把它扔掉吧。我们的电视屏幕上肯定有一百万本书！我不会扔掉的。” 4玛吉问：“这本书是关于什么的？” 5 “学校” 6 “为什么有人会写关于学校的事？” 7 “因为这是一所几百年前的老式学校。他们有一位老师，但那是一个人。有一座特殊的建筑，所有的孩子和老师都去了那里。” 8玛吉想读那些有趣的学校。但她妈妈叫道：“玛吉！上学！” 9玛吉的教室就在她的卧室旁边。她的老师是一台机器。它一直在等着她。屏幕亮了起来。机器说：“今天的课是数学。请把昨天的作业放在开头。” 10玛吉很伤心。她想起了那些旧学校。附近所有的孩子都来了，在操场上又笑又喊。他们一起坐在教室里，放学后一起回家。 11教师是人…… 12 玛吉在想，过去的学生们一定很喜欢学校。她在想他们玩得很开心。 改编自《他们的乐趣》艾萨克·阿西莫夫 ( 知识解析1 ) 1 These people are called “digital natives” or the “screen generation”. 这些人被称为“数字原住民”或“屏幕一代”。（教材P57） native /ˈneɪtɪv/ n. 本地人；久居某地的人 generation /ˌdʒenəˈreɪʃən/ n. 一代（人） Many traditional folk stories such as Yu Gong Moves the Mountains, Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, Chang’e Flies to the Moon, are passed down from one generation to the next. 许多传统民间故事，如《愚公移山》《后羿射日》《嫦娥奔月》等，代代相传。（云南中考） 2 What’s Timmy’s attitude to his mum trying to take his phone away? 蒂米对妈妈试图拿走他的手机是什么态度？（教材P57） attitude /ˈætɪtjuːd/ n. 看法，态度 attitude to/towards sb./sth. 对某人/某事的态度 Whatever happens, we should have a positive attitude to/towards life. 不论发生什么，我们应该以积极的态度面对生活。 3 They may also use words like What? or No! to show surprise or disagreement. 他们也可能使用“什么？”或“不！”来表示惊讶或分歧。（教材P57） disagreement /ˌdɪsəˈgriːmənt/ n. 意见不合，分歧，争论 disagreement with sb. 与某人的看法或观点不一致 disagreement on sth. 就……意见不一致 I have a few disagreements with her, but we’re still good friends. 我和她有一些分歧，但我们仍然是好朋友。 There is disagreement on the safety of the treatment. 这种疗法是否安全存在争论。 dis-为常见的否定前缀，表示“不；非；相反”。 常见的加dis-构成的词还有： like（v. 喜欢）→ dislike（v. 不喜欢） appear（v. 出现）→ disappear（v. 消失） believe（v. 相信）→ disbelieve（v. 不相信） advantage（n. 优势）→ disadvantage（n. 劣势） 4 At first, I felt quite bored, but... 起初，我觉得很无聊，但…… （教材P59） bored /bɔːd/ adj. 厌烦的，不感兴趣的 be/feel/get bored with 对……感到厌烦 A huge difference between AI and humans is that robots don’t create new things, and they don’t get bored with things.

( 综合训练 ) 一．完形填空 China has changed a lot in the years since I first moved here. One of the developments is cashless payment (无现金支付), which has 1 the way we live and shop. China is not the 2 country to have cashless payment. I used a debit card ( 借记卡) to 3 things without cash for years in the US. But now I can use my phone instead. It’s super easy and 4 . One of the things I like most is that I can send and receive money 5 to and from my friends. That’s because it makes it so much easier to share the bill when we eat out together. But like all technology, cashless payment has some 6 as well. What happens if your phone gets lost or stolen? There are also times when your phone’s mobile Internet connection, 7 the store’s Internet connection, might not work. Not long ago, I went to a nearby convenience store (便利店) to buy some snacks. But when I got there, I found that the store’s cashless payment system didn’t work and they could only 8 cash. I didn’t have any cash with me, so I had to 9 and leave without any snacks. So although cashless payment is convenient, you should 10 carry a bit of cash in order to avoid any possible inconvenience. 1. A. found B. realized C. challenged D. changed 2. A. last B. next C. second D. first 3. A. take off B. turn on C. pay for D. depend on 4. A. convenient B. relaxing C. different D. correct 5. A. wisely B. directly C. secretly D. safely 6.

D last 最后的；next 接下来的；second 第二； first 第一。根据下文“I used a debit card to...things without cash for years in the US.”可知，作者在美国已经使用无现金支付了，所以此处指中国并不是第一个实现无现金支付的国家。故选D。 3.

B wisely 明智地；directly 直接地；secretly 秘密地；safely 安全地。根据下文“That’s because it makes it so much easier to share the bill when we eat out together.” 可知，作者可以直接向朋友转钱和收钱，这使得分担账单会容易得多。故选B。 6. C experiences 经历；secrets 秘诀；problems 问题； causes 原因。根据下文“What happens if your phone gets lost or stolen?

Apps, games, and websites make learning fun. But it’s easy to spend too much time looking at screens (屏幕). So, it’s important for students of all ages to know how to use technology the right way. Our brain works differently when we read on a screen compared to reading a book. Screens have things that can take our attention away. Reading a book helps us understand better and remember things more easily. Writing by hand is also better for our brain than typing ( 打字). When we write, we think more about what we’re writing, which is harder than just typing. Spending too much time on screens can be bad for kids. It can make it harder to focus (集中), do well in school, sleep, and exercise. Too much time with technology can also make it harder for kids to make friends in real life, which can make them feel lonely. It’s not always clear if technology helps us learn better. Technology can be great for learning, but it can also be dangerous. Parents and teachers can’t stop kids from using technology, but they can help them know when and how to use it the right way. 1. What does the writer think of apps and websites? A. They are simple. B. They are boring. C. They are useless. D. They are interesting. 2. Which paragraph tells us about online problems?

D 细节理解题。根据“Apps, games, and websites make learning fun.”可知，作者认为应用程序、游戏和网站让学习变得有趣，故选D。 2. C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，花太多时间在屏幕上对孩子不好，会导致难以集中注意力、学习受影响、睡眠和锻炼问题，以及难以在现实生活中交友而感到孤独等网络相关问题，所以是第三段。故选C。 3. A 代词指代题。根据最后一段可知，这里说家长和老师不能阻止孩子们使用技术，但能帮助他们知道何时以及如何正确使用，them 指代前文提到的“kids”， 故选A。 B Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious ( 有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like. The 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth ( 宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths ( 深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. Space tours will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it real.” 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE? A. 3-D food will be easy to make but won’t taste good. B. With 5G, users will get only a little information. C. Underwater cities will provide more living space. D. A robot will do everything for us human beings. 2. What does the underlined word “unlimited” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Very little. B. Without limit. C. Hard to get. D. Very expensive. 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. People will live a hard life in the future. B. Technology will make our future better. C. People will have no real friends in the future. D.
