Have you ever imagined life in 2100? A recent science fiction novel describes a world where technology has changed everything.
In 2100, most people start their day with a “smart breakfast”. It’s not just food—each meal is 1 to match your health needs. A small device in your home checks your body and 2 the best menu for you. If you’re tired, it might give you food with more energy; if you need to 3 weight, it will suggest low-fat dishes.
Transportation is another big change. Cars no longer run on oil. Instead, they use clean energy and can 4 . Yes, fly! They’re called “sky cars” and can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in 30 minutes. There are no traffic jams because computers control the 5 of all cars.
Schools are different too. Students don’t need to 6 books or pens. They wear special glasses that show virtual textbooks. Teachers are sometimes robots, but they’re very 7 . They can tell stories and even joke with students. If you don’t understand a lesson, the robot teacher will 8 it again in a fun way.
One of the most exciting things is “time tourism”. People can take short trips to the past or future, but there are 9 . You can’t change history or take things back with you. Many people visit the past to see famous events, like the building of the Great Wall. Others go to the future to 10 what their lives will be like.
However, not everyone is 11 about the future. Some people worry that technology will make us too lazy. They say we might 12 how to do simple things, like cooking or writing by hand. Others are afraid that robots will become too powerful and 13 humans.
But most experts believe we can 14 these problems. They say the key is to use technology wisely. We should let it help us, not control us.

Life in 2050: A Glimpse into Tomorrow
Smart Transportation
Getting around will be safer and greener. Self-driving cars powered by solar energy will dominate (占主流) the roads. 31 For example, traffic lights will communicate directly with vehicles to prevent accidents. Public transport like flying taxis may become common in big cities, reducing traffic jams effectively.
Education Revolution
32 Students worldwide will attend virtual classes using 3D hologram (全息) technology. AI teachers will provide personalized learning plans based on each student’s progress. 33 Paper books might still be used for special learning purposes. Face-to-face communication remains important for developing social skills.
Green Living
Environmental protection will be at the heart of future life. Smart homes equipped with energy-saving AI systems will automatically adjust lighting and temperature. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind will power entire cities. 34 Additionally, vertical farms in skyscrapers will produce fresh vegetables for urban areas. Surprisingly, people may eat lab-grown meat to protect natural resources. 35

三、任务型阅读(10分)
One day, I fell asleep and had a strange dream. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the year 2150!
The city was a wonderland of towering skyscrapers made of shiny, transparent (透明) materials that seemed to touch the clouds. Flying cars zoomed (急速上升) overhead, leaving trails of colorful lights. People were walking on the streets, wearing smart clothes that could change colors according to their moods.
I decided to explore. First, I entered a restaurant. There were no waiters! Instead, robots glided smoothly, bringing delicious food made from lab-grown ingredients. The food was not only tasty but also extremely healthy.
Then, I visited a school. Students were studying with holographic (全息图的) teachers. They could interact with 3D models of historical figures and faraway planets. It was like being in a real-life adventure while learning.
In the afternoon, I met a friendly local named Alex. He showed me his home, which was a smart house. The walls could transform into different scenes, from a peaceful beach to a snowy mountain. The house could even recycle waste into energy.
As the day ended, I woke up from my dream. Although it was just a dream, I couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing future I had experienced. I really hope some of these cool things will come true one day!
36.When did the author find himself in the year 2150?

The city was a wonderland of towering skyscrapers made of shiny, transparent (透明) materials that seemed to touch the clouds. Flying cars zoomed (急速上升) overhead, leaving trails of colorful lights. People were walking on the streets, wearing smart clothes that could change colors according to their moods.
I decided to explore. First, I entered a restaurant. There were no waiters! Instead, robots glided smoothly, bringing delicious food made from lab-grown ingredients. The food was not only tasty but also extremely healthy.
Then, I visited a school. Students were studying with holographic (全息图的) teachers. They could interact with 3D models of historical figures and faraway planets. It was like being in a real-life adventure while learning.
In the afternoon, I met a friendly local named Alex. He showed me his home, which was a smart house. The walls could transform into different scenes, from a peaceful beach to a snowy mountain. The house could even recycle waste into energy.
As the day ended, I woke up from my dream. Although it was just a dream, I couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing future I had experienced. I really hope some of these cool things will come true one day!

In your home of the future, all of your devices can work together to make your life 44 (comfortable). When you turn on the lights in the morning, your windows will open 45 the same time. The lights will slowly turn off by 46 (they) after the sun appears.
Your home may have dangers. The hackers (黑客) could succeed in 47 (open) your door and causing a mess at your home through the Internet. Your home will tell you about it but you can’t arrive home 48 (quick). So people will have to be 49 (care) of their personal information.

【答案】
41.predictions 42.If 43.will check 44.more comfortable 45.at 46.themselves 47.opening 48.quickly 49.careful 50.to make
【解析】本文主要预测了我们的家未来会更加智能化。
41.句意:以下是一些预测。根据“Here are some”可知,此处填名词复数形式,predict的名词复数形式为predictions。故填predictions。
42.句意:如果你想在回家后洗澡,你可以在回家的路上让你的智能热水器开始加热。根据“you want to take a shower when you get home, you’ll be able to let your smart water heater (热水器) start heating up when you’re on your way home”可知,前句是后句的条件,所以此处是if引导的条件状语从句。句首单词首字母大写,故填If。
43.句意:但将来,你的家会为你检查这些。根据“in the future”可知,此处为一般将来时,结构为will+动词原形。故填will check。
44.句意:在您未来的家中,您的所有设备都可以协同工作,让您的生活更加舒适。考查make sth. adj.“让某物怎么样”,所以填形容词;根据“In your home of the future, all of your devices can work together to make your life”可知,此处指与之前相比,未来的设备都可以协同工作,让您的生活更加舒适,所以填形容词比较级。故填more comfortable。
45.句意:当你早上开灯时,你的窗户也会同时打开。考查at the same time“同时”。故填at。
46.句意:太阳出来后,灯会慢慢自行关闭。考查by oneself“独自,单独”,“The lights”对应的反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。
47.句意:黑客可能会通过互联网成功地打开你的门,在家里制造混乱。考查succeed in doing sth.“成功做某事”,故填opening。
48.句意:你的家会告诉你这件事,但你不能很快回家。根据“you can’t arrive home”可知,此处填副词quickly修饰动词。故填quickly。
49.句意:因此,人们必须小心他们的个人信息。根据“be”可知,此处填形容词,care的形容词形式careful“仔细的”符合句意。故填careful。
50.句意:随着技术的发展,我们可以期待让我们的生活变得更好。考查expect to do sth.“期待做某事”,所以填动词不定式。故填to make。
