Unit 6 Life in the future（话题阅读精练）英语沪教版五四制2024八年级上册（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. Experts on space and city planners give their ideas on the life in 2119. 25 years ago, we could not imagine how greatly the Internet would change our lives. Now the Internet has completely changed the way we communicate and learn. They said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable. The way we live, work and play will be different from today. There will be many tall buildings, underwater cities and holidays in space. People will work at home and have virtual (虚拟的) work meetings. People will have 3D printers to“print” everything they need at home, such as food, clothes and so on. There will also be less need for doctors. Our home health robots will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment (治疗). We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources (资源) that we have used up on Earth. Researchers questioned 2000 adults about the prediction. And most of them thought they were most possibly to happen in the future.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．________ give their ideas on life in 2119.

Some common jobs today may also disappear in twenty years. So do you want to know about some of the future jobs? Space tour guide People are expecting (期待) an exciting travel in space. It will soon come true for many people. If you take trips to space, you will see the sun rising and setting many times in one day. And for the trip, travelers will need a patient tour guide, explain what they are seeing and keep them safe. It means that the space tour guide must be a good communicator. AI psychologist (心理学家) More and more work needs AI. And machines will be more like human. They will need engineers to develop their “mind”. An AI psychologist will need to understand about both psychology and technology. It will be this person’s job to make future supercomputers work well. Human-technology integration specialist (人机融合专家) As all the new technologies are developing fast, people may need help to understand and use them. So human-technology integration specialists might be very important. They could teach others how to use future technologies. They will make sure that all the technologies are safe and choose the best ones. 6．How many future jobs are mentioned in this text? A．1. B．2. C．3.

A．Some Future Jobs B．Travel to the Sun C．AI Reads minds D．Safe Technologies Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence system” (远程呈现系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 11．According to the text, living in a “smart” city _______. A．is not a green way B．will be far from you C．is completely impossible D．will soon become true 12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A meeting in Songdo. B．A city of the future.

A．solve the cities’ coming problems B．develop his own company C．control the world’s population D．drive people out of cities 15．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Government Services B．Famous Companies C．Future Education D．Smart Cities 二、完形填空 Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them? These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It’s sad, because people will lose most of their social skills like the 16 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 17 . If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourite books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a shower. I think the number of people on the planet will continue to increase. There will be less space, so we’ll need to 18 the way we live. Maybe we’ll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It’s horrible! Life will definitely get 19 than it is now. Our house might be 20 in the future. If there’s an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we’ll never feel too hot or too cold. Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it’ll be a good and safe thing, because we won’t have so many road 21 . Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good. 16．A．attitude B．ability C．possibility D．decision 17．A．directly B．extremely C．surprisingly D．completely 18．A．change B．lose C．miss D．figure 19．A．better B．worse C．more amazing D．less interesting 20．A．positive B．scientific C．smart D．perfect 21．A．cars B．traffic C．complaints D．accidents 三、任务型阅读 I looked into the letter box this morning and found a letter addressed to me. It was strange! I have not received a letter since I started using the email system. I read the letter carefully. The handwriting was familiar, but I was not sure who it was from. The letter told me many things I would do in the future. Here is what it said: Hi, Sarah, How are you? I miss you so much! I know you are not happy at the moment. Let me tell you something to cheer you up. Many unusual things will happen in the next 20 years. Though science is your least favourite subject, you will become better at it and even go on to study it at university. You’ll realise that you have an insatiable (无法满足的) desire for knowledge. After you finish university, you’ll travel abroad. Not only will you see many wonderful and unique places, you’ll also meet new friends from all over the world. Sometimes, you may be uncertain about your abilities, but you’ll become more confident in the future. Your family will continue to support you in everything you do. And some day, you’ll have a child of your own who you’ll love and support. I know that life can be difficult sometimes, but don’t lose heart! Try to remain positive in the face of difficulties. Believe in yourself. You can achieve much more than you imagine. I wish I could tell you more, but I have to stop here. Remember that the most important thing to do is to live every day as it happens. Don’t worry about the future and just live in the moment. While this letter was very unusual, the strangest part was at the very end. The signature was “Your Future Self”. Can you believe it? I have received a letter from the future. How far-fetched! 22．How did Sarah feel when she found a letter in the letter box? 23．What was familiar to Sarah? 24．What does the underlined word “it” mean? 25．What will happen in Sarah’s future life according to the letter? (Only choose the letters) a. get married b. love science c. study abroad d. go to university e. make friends with foreigners f. have heart problems 26．Sarah will not be a mother who loves and supports her child, will she? 27．Why did “Your Future Self” write to Sarah? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 My uncle Nick is a famous 28 (science). He likes to make lots of 29 (prediction) about the future. He says that in 100 years some things will be better than now.

By 2050, there will be more old people. This 39 (mean) that we will need more nurses and medical workers. These people can help to care for 40 (they). Family doctors will need to work long hours and face many 41 (challenge). Also, there are jobs for medical researchers 42 scientists. They need to develop new medicine and technology.

They can also teach people how to use computers better. They need to treat people 45 (patient). In fact, people always want better technology, so they need to develop newer computers and phones in 46 (science) ways. People need 47 help of these workers.

We’ll have more free time, and traveling will be 31 (fast) and cheaper than it is now.
