High-­rise farms As the population of the earth continues to grow, living space also decreases, not only for human beings but for the animals and plants we rely on too. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [语言基础巩固] It’s reasonable to see a future where the technology will need to be developed to allow for farmland in unusual places. This idea of high­-rise farms in the middle of a city isn’t totally beyond belief. Li-­Fi Li­-Fi has been experimented with for the last few years and has some interesting potential for fast data transfer speeds. Li­Fi uses light to transfer data rather than Wi­Fi’s radio waves. It’s also thought that Li­Fi will be much cheaper than Wi­Fi. Recycling and re­engineering The constant development of the new technology means our world is often full of old technologies. One thing the human race will have to do in the future is to learn new ways to recycle, reuse and re­engineer old technology to decrease waste and save the world. People are already coming up with a variety of interestingy ways to recycle old technologies including turning disused things into material for paving roads. Health care nanobots The robotic technology is being used to care for our health. Nanobots could be used to check our insides to hunt our health problems. They might also be used to repair damaged organs. This could mean less time in hospital and less recovery time too. (　　　)1．What can we learn about Li­-Fi? A．It has come into use. B．It uses Wi­-Fi’s radio waves to transfer data. C．It probably increases data transfer speeds. D．It will be as cheap as Wi­-Fi. C (　　　)2．Which technology will bring benefits to people’s health? A．Li­-Fi. B．Health care nanobots. C．High-­rise farms. D．Recycling and re-­engineering. B (　　　)3．Where is the text most likely from? A．A science magazine. B．A guidebook. C．A book review. D．A fiction novel. 【语篇解读】文章介绍了当前和未来改变我们生活的一些科学技术。 A 1．C　细节理解题。根据Li-­Fi部分的第一句“Li­-Fi has been experimented with for the last few years and has some interesting potential for fast data transfer speeds. (Li­Fi在过去几年里已经进行了实验，在快速数据传输速度方面有一些有趣的潜力。)”可知，Li­-Fi可能会增加数据传输速度。故选C。 2．B　细节理解题。根据Health care nanobots部分的“Nanobots could be used to check our insides to hunt our health problems. They might also be used to repair damaged organs. (纳米机器人可以用来检查我们的内部，以寻找我们的健康问题。它们也可以被用来修复受损的器官。)”可知，纳米机器人将造福人类健康。故选B。 3．A　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，我们已经接触到的技术已经为我们的未来铺平了道路，这些当前和未来的技术当然有可能更大程度地改变我们的生活以及下文介绍的四种技术可知，本文主要介绍了当前和未来改变我们生活的一些科学技术。因此，本文很可能出自一本科学杂志。故选A。 B [2024·深圳中学检测] From self­driving cars to care­bots for elderly people, the rapid development in the technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations(职业) existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a change in how we work, and a change will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew, director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US the technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies，” it states. A report by Pew Research Centre found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. “The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co­author. “The technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been people out of work, when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Jonathan Grudin told researchers. (　　　)4．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The result of job reduction. B．The fast development of AI. C．The future life of elderly people. D．The influence of the technology on jobs. D (　　　)5．What can be inferred from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph? A．More people will suffer unemployment. B．More jobs tend to appear in the future. C．Job competition is likely to grow sharper. D．The technology will have less control over jobs. B (　　　)6．What is the best title for the passage? A．Are People Losing Their Jobs? B．The Requirements for Future Jobs C．The Challenging Life in the Future D．Does the Technology Simplify Everything? 【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了随着人工智能的发展，许多企业将发生改变，到2025年，目前存在的近50%职业将完全没有必要，但是这并不意味着工作机会会变少，事实上，新工作岗位可能会增加，未来人们会有更多的工作机会。 A 4．D　主旨大意题。根据第一段的内容可知，从自动驾驶汽车到老年人护理机器人，科技的快速发展长期以来一直是对通常由人类从事的许多工作的潜在威胁。但专家们现在认为，随着人工智能继续改变企业，到2025年，目前存在的近50%职业将完全没有必要。由此可知，第一段主要讲了科技对就业的影响。故选D。 5．B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中Grudin说的话“The technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been people out of work, when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change(科技将继续影响就业，但似乎有可能创造更多就业机会。虽然一直有人失业，但当我们达到几十亿人时，就会有几十亿个工作岗位。需要做的事情并不少，而且不会改变)”可推断出，从Grudin说的话中我们可以推断出，未来会出现更多的工作机会。故选B。 6．A　主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了随着人工智能的发展，许多企业发生改变，到2025年，目前存在的近50%职业将完全没有必要，但是这并不意味着工作机会变少，事实上，新工作岗位可能会增加，未来人们会有更多的工作机会。因此，A项“人们将失业吗？”为文章的最佳标题。故选A。 Ⅶ.七选五 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What will man be like in 5，000 or even 50，000 years? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. 1．_____ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 E Let’s see an example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may guess that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need even larger ones! 2．_____The head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. D 3．_____ In fact, we use them so much that they often become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. And we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. 4．_____ At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! 5．_____ He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. A C G A．Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. B．This probably brings about mental changes. C．These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. D．This is likely to bring about physical changes, too. E．That’s because man is slowly changing all the time. F．As a result, future man will have little in common with us. G．In spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. 【语篇解读】文章预测了未来的人类和现在的人类会有哪些方面的不同。 1．E　空前一句中的“he will be different from what he is today”说明未来的人类和今天的人类不同；E项中的“That’s because．..”表示原因，E项“man is slowly changing all the time”解释了未来的人类和今天的人类不同的原因。故选E。 2．D　上文提到的“man will continue to grow taller(人类的身高会继续变高)”和 “we shall need even larger ones(我们将需要更大的脑容量)”都是身体上的变化，D项中“This”指代上文的“我们将需要更大的脑容量”；空后一句“The head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.(头部，尤其是前额，会变大。)”是具体说明D项中的“physical changes”。故选D。 3．A　空后一句中的“we use them so much．..glasses(我们使用它们太过频繁，以至于我们的视力经常会变弱，我们不得不戴眼镜)”说明我们现在经常使用眼睛；A项中的“in constant use”与空后一句中的“use them so much”相呼应，且空后一句中的“them”指代A项中的“eyes”。故选A。 4．C　空前一句“And we tend to make less use of our arms and legs”说明我们较少使用胳膊和腿；C项中的“These”指代空前一句中的“our arms and legs”；“grow weaker”与“make less use of”相呼应。故选C。 5．G　空后一句提到“He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.(他仍然是人类，有着和我们相似的思想和情感。)”，其中“similar to our own”与G项中的“have a lot in common with us(与我们有很多共同之处)”相呼应；G项中的“future man will still．..”与空后一句“He will still．..”句式相同。故选G。 感谢聆听，再见！ $$
