This has something to do with my father. He works in a food factory. Years ago, my father broke his left leg when he was working in the 3 . He needed to have an operation (手术) at once. Some doctors in my town told my family to take him to a city hospital, 4 the doctors in the town were not able to do the operation. The situation (情况) was 5 . We needed to be quick, or my father would 6 lose his leg. Finally, it took us an hour to reach the city hospital. Doctors there said my father was lucky to get there in time. After that, I 7 problems in health care in our country. I decided to become an engineer. I want to create a 8 that can act as a doctor. Even if it can’t do the difficult operation by itself, the doctors far away can guide it through the internet. Then it can finish the operation well. It may sound impossible, but I 9 robots can do this in the future. Like my town, many places don’t have doctors who can do difficult operations. So it’s 10 to improve the situation. I hope I can bring something helpful to our country. 1．A．dream B．promise C．reason D．experience 2．A．touch B．choose C．become D．focus 3．A．school B．factory C．library D．farm 4．A．because B．if C．but D．although 5．A．fresh B．lucky C．simple D．dangerous 6．A．quietly B．clearly C．probably D．finally 7．A．thought about B．brought out C．took up D．looked after 8．A．tool B．glove C．phone D．robot 9．A．wonder B．agree C．believe D．explain 10．A．similar B．necessary C．serious D．bright （二） The Development of Electric Cars Electric cars may seem like a recent invention, but they have been around for years. In the early 1900s, electric cars were more popular and there were 1 electric cars on the road than gasoline (汽油) cars, because at that time, gasoline was expensive compared with other fuels (燃料). When gasoline 2 dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. Gasoline cars became more popular 3 , because they could go farther without stopping. During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it 4 more air pollution. For years, the car makers didn’t worry about pollution. They didn’t worry about how much gasoline cars used, either. But when people began to 5 that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars. One 6 of solving the problem was a hybrid car (混合动力汽车), one that ran partly on gasoline and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went 7 . An all-electric car uses no gasoline. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). That makes electric cars not so 8 for long journeys. Many people are not pleased with it. The government and car makers are working together to 9 safe, cheap and useful electric cars. When more and more people have these electric cars in the future, a gasoline station may 10 . 1．A．fewer B．more C．faster D．bigger 2．A．prices B．places C．stations D．keepers 3．A．instead B．still C．yet D．forever 4．A．pushed B．cut C．caused D．wasted 5．A．imagine B．start C．keep D．realize 6．A．way B．person C．article D．style 7．A．out B．up C．away D．down 8．A．different B．suitable C．delicious D．calm 9．A．describe B．develop C．forget D．protect 10．A．discover B．design C．build D．disappear （三） Now smartphones and computers are getting thinner than before. 1 , in the future, you might not take them everywhere with you. You may just need to 2 a pair of glasses. The glasses will act like a computer 3 and show you information from the Internet. When you’re visiting an art museum, you’ll be able to see information about the famous 4 in front of you. Wearing the glasses, you’ll be able to get a review (评论) of the restaurant menu before you 5 . The glasses will also have a camera to take photos. All in all, smart glasses make your life much 6 . In the future, mirrors will be able to do much more for you. When you 7 your teeth in the morning, you’ll be able to watch the news on your mirror. If your hair is short and you wonder what you’ll 8 with long hair, you can just talk to your mirror. Then you’ll see yourself with 9 features (特征). Your mirror will also show your 10 and it’ll be able to tell you when you need to visit the doctor’s office. 1．A．Also B．Again C．Once D．However 2．A．win B．wear C．clean D．draw 3．A．game B．store C．screen D．model 4．A．prizes B．books C．meals D．paintings 5．A．act B．order C．skate D．sing 6．A．busier B．easier C．slower D．richer 7．A．cut B．show C．break D．brush 8．A．look like B．look for C．care about D．worry about 9．A．different B．old C．funny D．common 10．A．work B．phone C．health D．family （四） Science and technology are developing faster and faster. They change the world a lot and become 1 parts of our daily lives. In recent years, a new technology called Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become very popular. It is 2 our lives in amazing ways. It makes many things no longer just 3 . They may come true one day. AI can do many things, such as cleaning houses, driving cars, and even playing chess. Surprisingly, some 4 are also using AI to help with their daily teaching. For example, teachers can use AI to analyze (分析) students’ performance. So that they can use different teaching ways to meet different students’ 5 . What’s more, AI can help students solve their learning problems by answering questions and providing answers, just like a real 6 . With AI, teaching and learning become better and more 7 . Some scientists believe that AI will become even more 8 in the future. It will be able to do almost everything instead of humans. However, some people are becoming worried, because AI can do many things faster and better than humans. They are afraid that they might 9 their jobs in the future. So please remember: Every coin has two sides. We can use AI to improve our lives, but we can’t let it 10 our lives. 1．A．strange B．important C．healthy D．terrible 2．A．changing B．breaking C．filling D．leading 3．A．jokes B．dreams C．questions D．news 4．A．houses B．cinemas C．schools D．markets 5．A．feelings B．hobbies C．wishes D．needs 6．A．teacher B．student C．friend D．parent 7．A．boring B．enjoyable C．correct D．difficult 8．A．possible B．dangerous C．colorful D．powerful 9．A．get B．create C．finish D．lose 10．A．leave B．enter C．control D．beautify （五） “What will I be like in ten years?” I asked myself. Everyone has 1 , and I am no exception (例外). Sometimes, I cannot stop 2 about what I will be like. If I practice the 3 every day, maybe I will become a famous pianist. If I study hard, I might become a famous scientist. As I 4 , I realized that I was just a common girl. It was 5 for me to become famous all over the world. Now, however, I have a different idea about the 6 . In ten years, I might be a worker in a small company. I may not make a lot of money but I enjoy my life. I am 7 , but I still have time to work on my blog. I am still practicing the piano and the 8 makes my home warm. Yes, I am not world-famous, but I am happy every day. It’s nice to have big dreams, but actions are more important than 9 . If a dream is too far to 10 , it is meaningless. It is hard to 11 what the future will be like because the world is changing fast and many things are out of our control. 12 people will become world-famous, but we can still do a lot. From the bottom to the top, we should never stop 13 for a bright future. Although some people have 14 with their lives, they work hard to overcome them and try to become better. They are also the 15 of life. I don’t exactly know what I will be like in ten years. But I am sure I will do my best and be the best. 1．A．hobbies B．stories C．dreams D．interests 2．A．thinking B．learning C．hearing D．waiting 3．A．violin B．piano C．guitar D．drums 4．A．got up B．woke up C．looked up D．grew up 5．A．necessary B．important C．impossible D．unhappy 6．A．health B．future C．world D．plan 7．A．serious B．famous C．active D．busy 8．A．work B．music C．blog D．money 9．A．words B．answers C．experiences D．minds 10．A．believe B．improve C．reach D．expect 11．A．face B．understand C．save D．predict 12．A．All B．Many C．Few D．No 13．A．fighting B．waiting C．asking D．caring 14．A．exhibitions B．differences C．problems D．resolutions 15．A．reporters B．winners C．planners D．singers （六） Many people are interested in talking about life in the future. Some people 1 that life in the future will be easier and more comfortable. But others believe that it will be 2 and more difficult than now. As for me, I 3 the first idea. First, people will have better 4 . This is because of technology. E-books will replace common books, robots will replace 5 , and students will not have to go to school every day. They will 6 at home through online teaching and will find learning more interesting. Second, people’s health will 7 . Technology will also play a very important role. New medicine will help people get better 8 . Robots will help doctors and sometimes replace them. Also, doctors will be able to cure more diseases, 9 people will live longer. Third, housing problems will end. People will 10 houses under the sea. Also, some people will 11 to the moon. Then everyone will have a place to live. Fourth, hunger will stop all over the world. People will grow crops everywhere 12 on the top of buildings. Fifth, the world will be at peace. This is the 13 of all the above changes. People don’t need to 14 to get something. They will have better education, health, housing and so on, so they will be 15 and love will be everywhere. Now what about you?

So what will the future be like? Here are some students’ ideas. I expect to live in a more beautiful and cleaner city. The street will be cleaned by robots once a day. —Ben There will be more kinds of food to choose from and the food will be more delicious. The robots can make food for us. —Karen We do not have to spend much time on heavy work because robots will take up most of our work, like washing the clothes. So we will have more vacations. We can take a vacation on the moon. We will not live on earth but on the moon or other planets. —Mark I expect that most families will have their own planes made by their robots, so travelling will become more convenient. The plane is faster than any other vehicle (交通工具). —Sue I hope robots can make clothes for us. The clothes could change their sizes and colours by themselves. —Sam 1．There will be ________ for us in the future. A．fewer vacations B．more money C．more kinds of food D．more work 2．Which is NOT true according to the passage? A．We can travel to the moon. B．There may be no person on earth. C．We can spend a little time on housework. D．The train will be the fastest vehicle. 3．In the passage, the underlined word "convenient" means “________”.

A．Robots in the Future B．Cities in the Future C．Transport in the Future D．Future Life with Robots （二） Dear Doris, Can you believe？I’m in a school of 2030 now. The school is like a beautiful garden. The wall of our classroom is colorful. Our school life is interesting and wonderful. In the morning, we have three lessons. We study on the Internet. We use the e-book. The teachers are all robots. They are in different sizes and they can answer any questions about any subjects. I like my robot music teacher best, because she plays the violin very well. In the afternoon, we go to Mars (火星) to have two classes in a new plane. That looks like our planes and spaceships. Some aliens (外星人) live on the Mars. I can make friends with them. They are friendly, and know us well. I often have trip to the moon and the sun with aliens by spaceship on Sundays. After class, we play football with aliens. Then we go back to the earth. Don’t you think the life in this school is very interesting? Yours， Asa 1．What is the school of 2030 like? A．Plane B．Garden C．Ship 2．How many classes do Asa and her classmates have a day? A．Three B．Four C．Five 3．Who are Asa’s teachers in the passage? A．Doris. B．Robots. C．Aliens. 4．Where do the aliens live from the passage? A．In the space. B．On the Mars.

C．Asa goes to the Mars by spaceship. （三） What will our life be like in 50 years? I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there. First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships (宇宙飞船)  are too slow to carry lots of people to space—it takes months. However, in the future, it will take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship! Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies. How about the food, water, and air? Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce (产 出) the food and air we need. However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now. There are also some problems for us. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight. What’s more, food will look like pills and will not be as delicious as it is today. 1．What will the future spaceship be like? A．It will be much slower. B．It will become much faster. C．It will be more expensive. D．It can carry people to any place. 2．What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A．Flying away into space. B．Becoming much heavier. C．Looking more beautiful. D．Eating too many pills. 3．Who may be interested in this passage? A．Miss Xie, a traveler, who tries to fly around the world. B．Ms. Liang, a reporter, who loves reading history books. C．Mr. Smith, a food service worker, who studies food plants. D．Ann, a student, who wants to learn about life in outer space. （四） What will the future be like? Will robots think like humans? Will computers become smarter than us? Probably no. But here are some things that scientists say that are happening or will happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC． Self-driving Cars There are some machines on the car. They can make the car follow the rules of the road and keep a safe space from other cars. This would make the road safer. You can even take a short rest when the car drives itself. In the future, self-driving cars would be used by many people. Digital Money (数字货币) Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than looking for money in our pockets. However, some people don’t like using it. They think it is not safe enough. In fact, it is not true at all. ▲ . Virtual friends (虚拟朋友) Virtual friends can be a life-size copy of your best friend. It will be possible to talk to a life-sized hologram (全息图) of friends. A projector (投影仪) will create a picture of your friend sitting next to you. It will be just like they are there, except you can’t have a touch on them. Who says we never know what will happen in the future? Although we may not know, we can be the people who make our own future! 1．The underline word “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”. A．rules B．machines C．cars D．road 2．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A．The truth is that digital money is even safer. B．The truth is that paper money is not enough. C．We need to take paper money with us all the time. D．Using digital money is not convenient. 3．Which of the following is TRUE about virtual friends? A．They look the same as your real friends.

B．Serious. C．Upset. D．Worried. 5．The passage mainly talk about ________. A．We do know what will happen in the future B．We can’t use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop until 10-30 years later C．some predictions about the future D．how we can work hard to make the future come true （五） What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible. The tree house Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to keep the home’s temperature. Meals at home This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the past Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air-conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney. 1．We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home ________. A．with the root of a tree B．with the energy from sunlight C．with the soil under the ground D．with gardens on its walls 2．What is the function of the “root”? A．To prevent the house from moving. B．To make the house bigger. C．To keep the temperature of the house. D．To help grow more trees around the house. 3．The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future ________. A．will be more delicious B．need more cooks C．will cost a lot D．will be greener 4．A chimney can be a useful air-conditioner in the future but it used to cause ________. A．accidents B．noise C．pollution D．change 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Green House of the Future B．The Greener, the Better C．How to Build Green Houses D．Different Kinds of Houses （六） Future clothes won’t just be for wearing. They will do more things from sending information to giving directions. Some may even wash themselves! Clean themselves. You may say goodbye to the washing machine in the future. Scientists are studying a kind of special clothes. These clothes will be able to clean themselves in just a few minutes. You just need to put them under sunlight or a light. Be a screen. What can a bike rider do when he or she is lost? A coat made with electronic textiles (电子织物) may help. It can give light and work like a screen. Wear it and you can send information, check directions or read the news. Chinese scientists can make such textiles. The coats may not be far away. Power up. Your mobile phone is going to die? No worries. You can charge it with your coat! Scientists are trying to make clothes with solar panels inside. When people wear the clothes, the solar panels can get power from sunlight. They can save power and charge the phone later. 1．How can people make future clothes clean themselves? A．By putting them in the sun. B．By sending information to them. C．By wearing them at night. D．By working before a screen. 2．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A．The coats are close to bike riders. B．Bike riders can go far away in the coats.

C．Say bad words to. D．Get ready for. 4．What can people do with future clothes? ①send information   ②wash machines  ③check directions   ④save power A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ （七） In real life, you can see science and technology everywhere now. In the near future, your life will be full of more amazing technologies. They will make your life easier and make learning more exciting! Before school Imagine waking up in the morning, your breakfast machine has already prepared a meal for your family. There is no need to carry heavy schoolbags because all your textbooks, notebooks, and even homework will be in a small magical tablet (平板电脑). As you sit down at the table, your tablet will show you a to-do list (清单) for the day. On the way to school Instead of walking to school, you will usually use self-driving cars. They can take you right there. These cars know where to go and can even tell you fun facts about science or history. If the road is busy, you might even take school planes. At school The walls of classrooms can turn into big screens for you to watch 10D videos. The school library can “think” and make you feel the “real” environment. When the teacher tells a story about the forest, the trees will “appear” around you. You can smell the flowers and hear the birds singing. You can even feel the raindrops falling on your faces. Lunchtime will be super cool! There might even be a robot cook in the dining hall who prepares healthy and delicious meals just for you. ▲ Your family smart helper knows about your learning needs. They can help you practice reading or math skills in a fun way. You can join clubs like “Robot Builders”. In the clubs, you can make your own robots that can do housework or play games with you. A better future is within (在……之内) reach. Scientists and engineers are working hard to make it come true. Soon, life will be more wonderful. 1．What kind of life is this passage about? A．School life.

D．In the classroom. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． （八） In the future, wonderful changes will happen in our lives. We will live in smart houses. The houses can adjust (调节) the temperature according to our feelings. For example, when we feel cold, the house will become warm. When we feel hot, the house will become cool. And the colour of the walls can change as we wish. We won’t need to cook meals by ourselves. Robots will do all the cooking for us. They can make delicious food just like the best cooks. They can even learn our favourite recipes and make them better. Transportation (交通工具) will also be different. There will be many flying cars and we can go anywhere we want quickly and easily. We will have more free time to do things we like, such as reading, painting and traveling. Maybe we’ll be able to visit other planets for vacations one day! The life in the future is sure to bring us more surprises and happiness. We can look forward to a more convenient (方便的) and enjoyable lifestyle. 1．Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

Every family will have their own robot. People will have more free time to enjoy life because robots will do lots of jobs. Mary: I think the world will be more polluted. We will find medicine for deadly (致命的) illnesses, so people will live to be 200 years old. There will be more people and cities will be more crowded. There will be fewer trees because people need to cut down trees to build houses. Tony: I think people will look different in the future. Our heads will be bigger and our legs will be thinner. We don’t need to walk on legs because we will go out by car, by plane or even by spaceship. However, we need to work hard to make robots work for us. 1．What is Steve’s prediction about the way of future travel? A．B．C． D． 2．What does Lisa think our future life will be like? A．More difficult.

The AI-powered chatbot (人工智能聊天机器人) ChatGPT is able to answer questions, write articles and do translations like a human. It has caused excitement all over the world. Like most products these days, ChatGPT wasn’t made by just one person. Instead, it was developed by a group of engineers at OpenAI. But according to the company, one man played an especially important role. That man is Jakub Pachocki. Pachocki is a programmer (程序员). He has been interested in AI for many years. He wants to use this technology to make computers smarter. In 2017, the man joined OpenAI. There he taught a robot to play Dota 2, an online game. Pachocki made the robot play against itself over and over until it reached the professional level. Pachocki began working on ChatGPT in 2018. His job was to pretrain (预训练) the AI system. The man and his team made computers study billions of words. These words came from books, magazines, websites and so on. They covered many different topics. By studying these words, the system learnt the patterns (模式) of human language. This process (过程) helped it develop the ability to “chat” about different topics like a real person. Although Pachocki is very talented, he has kept a low profile (保持低调). He seldom talks to the media. He is not active on social media either. The programmer, instead, focuses on his work. He spends most of his time trying to make computers smarter. Does ChatGPT’s intelligence (智力) surprise you? Well, now you know there are smart minds like Pachocki behind it. Computers are not getting smarter on their own. 1．Why has ChatGPT made people all over the world excited? A．Because it can play online games. B．Because it can work better than human beings. C．Because it was developed by a group of engineers. D．Because it can do many things just like a human. 2．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A．How to help ChatGPT “chat”. B．When to pretrain the AI system. C．Where to get different topics. D．What the system learnt from the patterns of human language. 3．What do you know about Pachocki according to the text? A．He joined Open AI 10 years ago. B．He is talented and hard-working. C．He is often active on social media. D．He makes computers smarter by himself. 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．The History of ChatGPT B．The Use of ChatGPT C．Great Minds Behind ChatGPT D．The Importance of ChatGPT （十一） Tomorrow’s Touch: A Tech Revolution Imagine a world where technology blends seamlessly with humanity. By 2040, I believe we shall wear eco-skin—thin, flexible screens that monitor health while displaying digital art. What creative possibilities this will unlock! Artists will design living tattoos that change with moods, and doctors shall detect illnesses through microscopic sweat analysis. The development of such tech faces huge challenges. Scientists will need to solve power issues: “Solar threads are going to weave into fabrics,” Dr. Lena Chen predicts at Future Tech Summit. Ethical debates will arise too. How transparent shall our health data be? But these challenges spark innovation. Young inventors will create solutions we can’t yet imagine. Personally, I shall study bio-engineering to join this revolution. My school’s “Invent Tomorrow” club will host coding camps next semester. There, we shall develop prototype gloves translating sign language into speech—making communication barrier-free. What greater purpose could technology serve? This future isn’t about cold machines. It’s about creative connections. When eco-skin reminds grandparents to take medicine, or when a child’s drawn butterfly flutters on their sleeve, technology shall prove its true role: helping humans flourish. 1．What is the key feature of “eco-skin” technology? A．Replacing doctors with AI. B．Combining health monitoring with digital art. C．Creating permanent tattoos. D．Generating solar energy alone. 2．What major challenge does Dr. Chen mention? A．Ethical debates about data privacy. B．Lack of creative designers. C．High costs of materials. D．Public resistance to new tech. 3．How does the writer plan to develop relevant skills? A．By attending medical school immediately. B．Through coding camps in the “Invent Tomorrow” club. C．By joining Future Tech Summit. D．Through bio-engineering internships now. 4．What example shows technology helping human connections? A．Flexible screens displaying digital art. B．Gloves translating sign language into speech. C．Children drawing butterflies on devices. D．Scientists debating ethics （十二） In 2024, you can buy lots of things during a live show (直播), such as food and clothes, and now even a ticket to space. On Oct 24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese Space company, sold two space travel tickets in a live show. This was the first time that Chinese people could buy space tickets. Those tickets were priced at 1.5 million yuan each. But during the show, they were only for 1 million yuan each. It was 500 thousand yuan cheaper than usual. The space trip will last about 12 minutes. Passengers will sit in a spaceship that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with a bit window. It will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some security training (安全培训) before the trip. The trip will use the company’s Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on oxygen and kerosene (氧气和煤油) and can be reused. This makes the trip cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace. In a word, the company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027. 1．How much was the ticket if you bought it during the show? A．1.5 million yuan. B．1 million yuan. C．500 thousand yuan. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．The space trip. B．The spaceship. C．The big window. 3．What can we know according to Huo Liang in paragraph 4? A．Passengers can be healthier after the trip. B．The oxygen and kerosene cannot be reused. C．The space tickets might become less expensive. 4．What is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． （十三） What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving a report. C．By giving advice. D．By telling a story. 2．Which one of the following is NOT true? A．If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control. B．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D．3D printing won’t change the way we make things. 3．What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident? A．It might help people fly to the sky. B．It might help people walk again. C．It might help people make models. D．It might help people save money. 4．What would be the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=② Paragraph3=③ Paragraph4=④ Paragraph5=⑤) A．B．C． D． （十四） With the development of technology, education is changing. The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, taking down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可). The walls of the classroom will also be filled with real-time screens for students and teachers to show any information they want. In the coming years, another technology called metaverse (元宇宙) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual (虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars (数字化身). In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they’ll be doing all these in a virtual environment. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, while in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom. Students can also “visit” historical sites, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more. Besides, the classroom of the future holds several learning styles for students. They will be given the freedom to learn things in the way they want. This includes learning through video lectures. Everyone moves at their own pace (节奏), with teachers guiding them along the way. This practice will help students learn faster and have better results. 1．What might happen according to the second paragraph? A．Students won’t need to take tests. B．Students won’t need to do their homework. C．There will be no blackboard in the classroom. 2．What is the metaverse? A．A new kind of class. B．A robot teacher. C．A virtual world. 3．What can’t people do in the metaverse according to the passage? A．Enjoy the smell of beautiful flowers. B．Attend a famous singer’s concert. C．Take classes in world-famous universities. 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How the metaverse will change our life. B．How the classroom will change in the future. C．How virtual classrooms will become popular. （十五） In the future cities, will we have smart buildings and flying cars? Or robots that will do our housework? What about schools? Will we still travel to school or will we study online at home? Maybe ... or maybe not, but what we do know is that in the future, cities are going to have more and more people living in them. More than half of the world’s people already live in cities, and by 2050, cities will become home to about 6.5 billion people. That’s a lot of people and very little space! More people means that we’re going to have more pollution, traffic and noise. It also means that we’ll need more homes, schools, hospitals and jobs. We’ll need more resources, like water and trees, and more ways to grow food too. Oh, and more parks to play in! Many cities are already planning for the future. For example, Bristol is a cycling city in England. You can ride bikes on the cycle road. In Singapore, people are looking “up” to grow food! To save land, they grow vegetables in lots of layers (层) in special tall buildings, called “vertical farms”. In Amsterdam in North Europe, there are “floating (漂浮) houses” built on water instead of on land! 1．Why does the writer ask the questions in the first paragraph? A．To predict what cities will be like. B．To describe the old cities. C．To introduce new ways of life. D．To show the importance of cities. 2．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．Problems in future cities. B．Plans about building future cities. C．Ways of feeding people in future cities. D．Advice on managing (管理) future cities. 3．What does the word “resources” mean in Chinese? A．经历 B．效率 C．信息 D．资源 4．What do “vertical farms” and “floating houses” have in common? A．They are easy-made. B．They are good-looking. C．They are land-saving. D．They are water-covered. 5．In which part of a magazine may the passage appear? A．Culture Corner (角). B．Future Life. C．Art World. D．Science Study. （十六） We don’t know what our own lives will be like in a few years because things are changing so quickly. Here’s how scientists see what life will be like in twenty years. You’re sitting in your car, but you are not driving. That’s OK. The car can go without a driver, and with its computers and cameras, your car knows how to get to your home safely.

It opens to the outside to get things for you. You’ve already paid for food. You can pay the money from your bank. Nobody uses cash. What’s for lunch? In the old days, you often stopped to buy food in the street. Now you use a small machine. Maybe you need more vegetables and less fat, so your food-cooking machine makes you a salad. After lunch, you go to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thanks to your new computer, you don’t need to go to the office any more. The computer shows a message from a worker in your office in another country. Your computer puts his words into English. As you wait, you think about what to do at night. If you want to see a film, you can stay at home and see any films. The films are sent to you through the Internet.

D．By computer you can pay money from the bank. （十七） Do you want to know what our life will be like in the future? Let’s have a look. You may get a surprise. You will go to the kitchen when you are hungry. You will give orders to the kitchen robot. The robot will cook the food for you in a few minutes. Then it will bring it to you. In the kitchen you will find a special food machine. The food machine will tell you what your body needs. It will help you eat healthily. The food machine will be connected with the kitchen robot. The robot can get messages from the food machine. After having a meal, you can go to your home office. You will work at home and you don’t need to go out to work any more. You will have a special information screen. You can get any information on the screen.

First, people won’t live on land. 1 Special machines will provide air and light, but the environment won’t be the same. Because there won’t be any soil, trees and plants won’t grow. 2 Most of the food will be made in big factories. The food will be very delicious and healthy. Children will love the food because it is very colourful and has many kinds of shapes. If there is no pollution in the sea, people will also eat fish.

Recently, it has become very popular. On 20th January, 2025, DeepSeek introduced two new models. These models are very 1 and can do many things. One of the models, called DeepSeek-R1-Zero, is very special. It can 2 maths problems, write simple code, and chat like humans. What’s special? It learns by practising, not just reading examples. DeepSeek-R1-Zero learns like students that do homework. Other AI systems need many examples to learn, but R1 improves by 3 . “It’s like 4 a bird to fly,” said an engineer. “The more it tries, the 5 it works.” The AI is 6 for schools and small businesses. A teacher in Vietnam said, “Now even villagers can use AI without worrying about 7 .” But there are 8 . AI sometimes makes mistakes in languages like German or Russian. The team is trying to fix this. “We want AI to help everyone 9 the world,” they said. DeepSeek’s success shows that China is getting better at making AI. It is changing the world of AI. It tells us that great things come from 10 and hard work, not just money. （二）  when,   two,   look,   be,   video,   from,   sound,   good,   do,   cross Look at the photo!

It means that humans will fly to another planet in 1,000 years. 4 fact, we have found one red planet — Mars. For many years, scientists have studied Mars. Some years ago, they 5 robots there and wanted to find water and life on Mars. Luckily, they found that there was water on it. The idea of living there looks possible. Because of science, the steps to Mars are getting 6 than before. For example, in 2013, some experts planned the 7 step to take humans to Mars. They offered people one-way tickets to go and build a new home on Mars. 8 it was dangerous, over 200,000 people still wanted to have a try. Now experts from other countries are also making plans to get humans to Mars. They are also making preparations 9 to help people get back to the earth. I am looking forward to 10 on Mars. Will you join us? 六、任务型阅读 （一） Welcome to a day of my life in 2040. I am Li Ming. I work in an office. I don’t need to work in the afternoon. At 8:00 in the morning, my robot servant Smart will wake me up. He will cook me a nice breakfast, and then drive me to my office. After 10 minutes, I arrive at my office. Then a big screen will show me what to do in the day. At lunchtime, I will have my lunch with some of my good friends in a restaurant. The robots will make all of the dishes. They are delicious! There will be a concert in the central music hall at 14:00. The singers are from all over the world. I will go there with my friends to enjoy many kinds of music. I think we will have a good time. At 17:00, we will take the spaceship to the moon. It will take us about half an hour to get there. We will enjoy the hot spring on the moon and watch Earth TV news on the dome (穹顶) screen over our heads. Then we will go back to the earth at 20:00. About half an hour later, I arrive at my house and say goodbye to my friends. After a shower and a glass of milk, I will go to bed and have a nice dream. 1．What is the name of Li Ming’s robot? 2．Who will make the dishes in the restaurant? 3．Where will there be a concert? 4．What will they do on the moon? 5．When will Li Ming arrive home? （二） 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The world will be very different in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be able to control (控制) things simply by using our mind. “Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment,” Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress (进展). “The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,” says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or maybe, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．What is possible to change the world a lot in 2045? 2．What’s the name of the video? 3．How many scientists gave their predictions in the video? 4．Who has the prediction about changing the buildings and other things around us? 5．How will people be able to control a machine according to Pam Melroy? （三） Robots are playing an important part in our life. They can help people do lots of boring and dangerous work. They’re useful because they never get tired and bored and can’t feel any pain. But these days, some scientists believe it’s a good idea to make robots feel pain.      Scientists from Germany are working on teaching robots how to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us humans,” said Johannes Kuehn, one of the scientists. “When we stay away from the thing that could make us feel pain, we’ll not get hurt.” How dangerous it would be if we couldn’t feel pain. Although pain hurts, it helps us keep away from dangerous things. The same will be true for robots. As a greater number of people work closely with robots, robots need to be smarter to protect themselves. Johannes believes that if humans protect robots, robots will protect humans as well. Some Japanese scientists have made a robot which can see pain on human faces. Robots will be very useful in everyday life if they can see pain on human faces. For example, if robots can see pain on human faces, they’ll be able to care for old people. It’s clear that robots are more and more like humans. Maybe in the future, robots will think and talk like humans. Do you agree? 1．What can people use robots to do? 2．What are scientists from Germany doing? 3．How would it be if we couldn’t feel pain? 4．What kind of robots have some Japanese scientist made? 5．Do you think we should make robots feel pain? Why or why not? （四） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 2050 seems to be a long way to go, but we can still predict the future. What will the future be like? Let’s start our predictions. •The free Internet Today more than half of the people around the world use the Internet. However, most Internet users have to pay for it. By 2050, it is possible that the Internet will be free. An Earlier Report on Population (人口) and Internet Users Continents (洲) Population Internet Users Africa (非洲) 1.3 billion (十亿) 523 million (百万) Asia (亚洲) 4.3 billion 2.3 billion Europe (欧洲) 829 million 728 million North America (北美洲) 366 million 330 million •Self-driving cars Many engineers are working on self-driving cars. Self-driving cars will be everywhere by 2050. The driver only needs to tell the car where he wants to go. And the driver will have more free time in the car. •The intercontinental (洲际的) railways (铁路) We will see intercontinental railways by 2050. It is not a dream anymore. Isn’t it wonderful if you can take a train from Taiyuan and arrive in New York a few hours? The intercontinental Railway Project will make this come true. •Living on Mars (火星) Mars might be the most possible planet to live on for humans. Now, the earth is polluted badly and the environment will be in great danger. Humans are always trying to look for the next “Earth”.

When gasoline 2 dropped and new technologies on gasoline cars were developed, electric cars were out of date. Gasoline cars became more popular 3 , because they could go farther without stopping. During the 20th century, gasoline cars got bigger, heavier and faster. They needed more fuel, and it 4 more air pollution. For years, the car makers didn’t worry about pollution. They didn’t worry about how much gasoline cars used, either. But when people began to 5 that there was not enough oil on the earth, they asked car makers to produce more efficient (高效能的) and less polluting cars. One 6 of solving the problem was a hybrid car (混合动力汽车), one that ran partly on gasoline and partly on electricity. Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s because gasoline prices went up while prices of hybrid cars went 7 . An all-electric car uses no gasoline. The problem, however, is that car batteries (电池) need to be recharged (再充电). That makes electric cars not so 8 for long journeys. Many people are not pleased with it.

But here are some things that scientists say that are happening or will happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC． Self-driving Cars There are some machines on the car. They can make the car follow the rules of the road and keep a safe space from other cars. This would make the road safer. You can even take a short rest when the car drives itself. In the future, self-driving cars would be used by many people. Digital Money (数字货币) Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than looking for money in our pockets. However, some people don’t like using it. They think it is not safe enough. In fact, it is not true at all. ▲ . Virtual friends (虚拟朋友) Virtual friends can be a life-size copy of your best friend. It will be possible to talk to a life-sized hologram (全息图) of friends. A projector (投影仪) will create a picture of your friend sitting next to you. It will be just like they are there, except you can’t have a touch on them.

Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible. The tree house Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to keep the home’s temperature. Meals at home This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the past Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air-conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney. 1．We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home ________.

The AI-powered chatbot (人工智能聊天机器人) ChatGPT is able to answer questions, write articles and do translations like a human. It has caused excitement all over the world. Like most products these days, ChatGPT wasn’t made by just one person. Instead, it was developed by a group of engineers at OpenAI. But according to the company, one man played an especially important role. That man is Jakub Pachocki. Pachocki is a programmer (程序员). He has been interested in AI for many years. He wants to use this technology to make computers smarter. In 2017, the man joined OpenAI. There he taught a robot to play Dota 2, an online game. Pachocki made the robot play against itself over and over until it reached the professional level. Pachocki began working on ChatGPT in 2018. His job was to pretrain (预训练) the AI system. The man and his team made computers study billions of words. These words came from books, magazines, websites and so on. They covered many different topics. By studying these words, the system learnt the patterns (模式) of human language. This process (过程) helped it develop the ability to “chat” about different topics like a real person. Although Pachocki is very talented, he has kept a low profile (保持低调). He seldom talks to the media. He is not active on social media either. The programmer, instead, focuses on his work. He spends most of his time trying to make computers smarter. Does ChatGPT’s intelligence (智力) surprise you? Well, now you know there are smart minds like Pachocki behind it.

By 2040, I believe we shall wear eco-skin—thin, flexible screens that monitor health while displaying digital art. What creative possibilities this will unlock! Artists will design living tattoos that change with moods, and doctors shall detect illnesses through microscopic sweat analysis. The development of such tech faces huge challenges. Scientists will need to solve power issues: “Solar threads are going to weave into fabrics,” Dr. Lena Chen predicts at Future Tech Summit. Ethical debates will arise too. How transparent shall our health data be? But these challenges spark innovation. Young inventors will create solutions we can’t yet imagine. Personally, I shall study bio-engineering to join this revolution. My school’s “Invent Tomorrow” club will host coding camps next semester. There, we shall develop prototype gloves translating sign language into speech—making communication barrier-free. What greater purpose could technology serve? This future isn’t about cold machines. It’s about creative connections. When eco-skin reminds grandparents to take medicine, or when a child’s drawn butterfly flutters on their sleeve, technology shall prove its true role: helping humans flourish. 1．What is the key feature of “eco-skin” technology?

On Oct 24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese Space company, sold two space travel tickets in a live show. This was the first time that Chinese people could buy space tickets. Those tickets were priced at 1.5 million yuan each. But during the show, they were only for 1 million yuan each. It was 500 thousand yuan cheaper than usual. The space trip will last about 12 minutes. Passengers will sit in a spaceship that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with a bit window. It will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness (失重) for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely. Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some security training (安全培训) before the trip. The trip will use the company’s Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on oxygen and kerosene (氧气和煤油) and can be reused. This makes the trip cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace. In a word, the company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027. 1．How much was the ticket if you bought it during the show?

It will go 100 kilometers above Earth.”可知，乘客乘坐的宇宙飞船将在地球上空100公里处飞行。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive, said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace.”可知，随着技术的进步，太空票可能会变得更便宜。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。分析全文可知，第一段引出了直播间可以买到一张太空旅行票。第二、三、四段介绍了中国深蓝航天公司组织的太空旅行计划，包括票价、对乘客的要求和火箭的燃料问题；第五段表明这一计划将在2026年开始大量测试。所以这篇文章的结构为“总——分——总”，故选A。 （十三） What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving a report. C．By giving advice. D．By telling a story. 2．Which one of the following is NOT true? A．If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control. B．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D．3D printing won’t change the way we make things. 3．What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident? A．It might help people fly to the sky. B．It might help people walk again. C．It might help people make models. D．It might help people save money. 4．What would be the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=② Paragraph3=③ Paragraph4=④ Paragraph5=⑤) A．B．C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了面向未来世界的一些新技术以及这些技术的优缺点。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What will the world of tomorrow be like?”可知，文章是以提问问题而开篇的。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.”可知，3D打印技术会改变我们创造事物的方式，以及我们治疗病人的方式，所以D项表述错误。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装)…It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.”可知，机器人套装可能有助于人们在生病或事故后再次行走。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是提出观点；第二段到第四段分别介绍三项新技术的优缺点；最后一段总结全文，C项正确。故选C。 （十四） With the development of technology, education is changing. The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, taking down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可). The walls of the classroom will also be filled with real-time screens for students and teachers to show any information they want. In the coming years, another technology called metaverse (元宇宙) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual (虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars (数字化身). In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they’ll be doing all these in a virtual environment. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, while in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom. Students can also “visit” historical sites, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more. Besides, the classroom of the future holds several learning styles for students. They will be given the freedom to learn things in the way they want. This includes learning through video lectures. Everyone moves at their own pace (节奏), with teachers guiding them along the way. This practice will help students learn faster and have better results. 1．What might happen according to the second paragraph? A．Students won’t need to take tests. B．Students won’t need to do their homework. C．There will be no blackboard in the classroom. 2．What is the metaverse? A．A new kind of class. B．A robot teacher. C．A virtual world. 3．What can’t people do in the metaverse according to the passage? A．Enjoy the smell of beautiful flowers. B．Attend a famous singer’s concert. C．Take classes in world-famous universities. 4．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How the metaverse will change our life. B．How the classroom will change in the future. C．How virtual classrooms will become popular. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了未来的教室是什么样的。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past.”可知，面对黑板将成为过去，可推断出未来教室里将没有黑板。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Metaverse is a 3D virtual world where people can meet, play, and work with others through digital avatars.”可知，元宇宙是一个3D虚拟世界，在这里人们可以通过数字化身与他人见面、玩耍和工作。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall, attending a concert or buying virtual clothing.”以及“While in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home.”以及“Students can also ‘visit’ historical places, see the real geography of the planet, take tours through international universities or research labs, and much more.”可知，在元宇宙里人们可以去购物中心，参加音乐会，坐在沙发上环游世界，也可以在世界著名大学上课，但不能享受芬芳的花香。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了未来的教室是什么样的。故选B。 （十五） In the future cities, will we have smart buildings and flying cars? Or robots that will do our housework? What about schools? Will we still travel to school or will we study online at home? Maybe ... or maybe not, but what we do know is that in the future, cities are going to have more and more people living in them. More than half of the world’s people already live in cities, and by 2050, cities will become home to about 6.5 billion people. That’s a lot of people and very little space! More people means that we’re going to have more pollution, traffic and noise. It also means that we’ll need more homes, schools, hospitals and jobs. We’ll need more resources, like water and trees, and more ways to grow food too. Oh, and more parks to play in! Many cities are already planning for the future. For example, Bristol is a cycling city in England. You can ride bikes on the cycle road. In Singapore, people are looking “up” to grow food! To save land, they grow vegetables in lots of layers (层) in special tall buildings, called “vertical farms”. In Amsterdam in North Europe, there are “floating (漂浮) houses” built on water instead of on land! 1．Why does the writer ask the questions in the first paragraph? A．To predict what cities will be like. B．To describe the old cities. C．To introduce new ways of life. D．To show the importance of cities. 2．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．Problems in future cities. B．Plans about building future cities. C．Ways of feeding people in future cities. D．Advice on managing (管理) future cities. 3．What does the word “resources” mean in Chinese? A．经历 B．效率 C．信息 D．资源 4．What do “vertical farms” and “floating houses” have in common? A．They are easy-made. B．They are good-looking. C．They are land-saving. D．They are water-covered. 5．In which part of a magazine may the passage appear? A．Culture Corner (角). B．Future Life. C．Art World. D．Science Study. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章设想了未来的城市生活。 1．推理判断题。根据“In the future cities, will we have smart buildings and flying cars? Or robots that will do our housework? What about schools? Will we still travel to school or will we study online at home?”可知，是为了预测未来的城市，故选A。 2．主旨大意题。分析第二段内容可知，主要介绍未来城市会出现的问题，故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“like water and trees, and more ways to grow food too.”可知，“resources”指的是水、树、食物，这些都是“资源”，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“In Singapore, people are looking “up” to grow food! To save land (土地), they grow vegetables in lots of layers (层) in special tall buildings, called “vertical farms”. In Amsterdam in North Europe, there are “floating (漂浮) houses” built on water instead of on land!”可知，为了节省土地，新加坡和东京的人们在被称为“垂直农场”的高层建筑中种植蔬菜。在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹，有建在水上而不是陆地上的“浮动房屋”。由此可知，二者的共同之处是为了节省土地。故选C。 5．推理判断题。本文设想了未来的城市生活。因此可以在杂志的未来生活部分看到，故选B。 （十六） We don’t know what our own lives will be like in a few years because things are changing so quickly.

So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be able to control (控制) things simply by using our mind. “Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment,” Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress (进展). “The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,” says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or maybe, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．What is possible to change the world a lot in 2045? 2．What’s the name of the video? 3．How many scientists gave their predictions in the video? 4．Who has the prediction about changing the buildings and other things around us? 5．How will people be able to control a machine according to Pam Melroy? 【答案】1．Robots and Al. 2．Forward to the Future. 3．Three 4．Stefanie Tompkins. 5．By only saying some simple words. 【导语】本文介绍了科学家在《迈向未来》视频中，预测 2045年机器人、AI等将改变世界，还设想了意念控制、新型建筑和语音操控机器等场景。 1．根据第一段“It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self - driving and flying cars will come into our daily life.”可知，在2045年，机器人、人工智能以及自动驾驶和飞行汽车都有可能极大地改变世界。故填Robots and Al. 2．根据第二段“In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045.”可知，这个视频的名字是Forward to the Future。故填Forward to the Future. 3．文中提到了Dr. Justin Sanchez、Stefanie Tompkins和Pam Melroy三位科学家对2045年世界的预测。故填Three. 4．根据第四段“‘The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,’ says Stefanie Tompkins.”可知，是Stefanie Tompkins对改变我们周围的建筑和其他事物做出了预测。故填Stefanie Tompkins. 5．根据第五段“Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. ‘I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,’ she said.”可知，Pam Melroy认为人们将能够通过说一些简单的话来控制机器。故填By only saying some simple words. （三） Robots are playing an important part in our life. They can help people do lots of boring and dangerous work. They’re useful because they never get tired and bored and can’t feel any pain. But these days, some scientists believe it’s a good idea to make robots feel pain.      Scientists from Germany are working on teaching robots how to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us humans,” said Johannes Kuehn, one of the scientists. “When we stay away from the thing that could make us feel pain, we’ll not get hurt.” How dangerous it would be if we couldn’t feel pain. Although pain hurts, it helps us keep away from dangerous things. The same will be true for robots. As a greater number of people work closely with robots, robots need to be smarter to protect themselves. Johannes believes that if humans protect robots, robots will protect humans as well. Some Japanese scientists have made a robot which can see pain on human faces. Robots will be very useful in everyday life if they can see pain on human faces. For example, if robots can see pain on human faces, they’ll be able to care for old people. It’s clear that robots are more and more like humans. Maybe in the future, robots will think and talk like humans. Do you agree? 1．What can people use robots to do? 2．What are scientists from Germany doing? 3．How would it be if we couldn’t feel pain? 4．What kind of robots have some Japanese scientist made? 5．Do you think we should make robots feel pain? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Lots of boring and dangerous work. 2．(They are) working on teaching robots how to feel pain. 3．(It would be) dangerous. (How dangerous it would be if we couldn’t feel pain.) 4．A robot which can see pain on human faces. 5．Yes, I do. If robots can feel pain, they’ll be able to protect themselves and humans. 【导语】本文讲述了科学家们正在研究如何让机器人感觉到疼痛，这样它们就能够保护自己，也可以保护人类。 1．根据第一段“They can help people do lots of boring and dangerous work.”可知，人们可以用机器人做很多无聊和危险的工作。故填Lots of boring and dangerous work. 2．根据第二段“Scientists from Germany are working on teaching robots how to feel pain.”可知，德国科学家正在研究教机器人如何感知疼痛。故填(They are) working on teaching robots how to feel pain. 3．根据第三段“How dangerous it would be if we couldn’t feel pain.”可知，如果我们不能感觉疼，将会是危险的。故填(It would be) dangerous. (How dangerous it would be if we couldn’t feel pain.) 4．根据第四段“Some Japanese scientists have made a robot which can see pain on human faces. ”可知，一些日本科学家已经制造出一种机器人，它可以看到人类脸上的痛苦。故填A robot which can see pain on human faces. 5．此题答案不唯一，根据第三段“As a greater number of people work closely with robots, robots need to be smarter to protect themselves. Johannes believes that if humans protect robots, robots will protect humans as well.”可知，我们应该让机器人感觉疼痛，因为那样他们就能保护他们自己或人类。故填Yes, I do. If robots can feel pain, they’ll be able to protect themselves and humans. （四） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 2050 seems to be a long way to go, but we can still predict the future.
