A．Some beautiful houses B．Some famous predictions C．A better world D．Homes for the future B No one knows what the weather is going to be like in the future, but many people think there are going to be some differences. According to the scientists, one difference is that in many places it’s going to be much hotter and it’s going to rain less. Some countries in Africa are going to become very dry all year round, and people can hardly find food and water. In Southern Europe and the United States, it’s going to be less easy for plants to grow. People there are also going to have problems finding food in the future. No one knows how much warmer it is going to be, but scientists say that the change is going to be at least 2℃. They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die. There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear.   Another difference is that there are going to be more hurricanes and typhoons (飓风和台风). Scientists say they are going to happen all over the world, and many people are going to lose their homes.    The earth is our home. Everyone should play a part in saving the earth. 1．Scientists think it will be ________ for people to find food and water in some countries in Africa. A．unlucky B．difficult C．common D．easy 2．The underlined word “melt” in the third paragraph means ________. A．becoming water B．becoming dirty C．turning white D．turning clean 3．We can know from the passage that ________. A．the plants will be less difficult to grow in the USA B．a lot of animals in the Arctic will still live happily there C．few people will lose their homes because of more typhoons D．people living in some cities near the sea will have to leave their home 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．A report from scientists. B．The differences in the future. C．The food and water in the future. D．The changes of the weather in the future. 5．What’s the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． C 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. 1．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 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A meeting in Songdo. B．A city of the future. C．A plan to build a house. D．A report on public health. 3．Which company is behind the creation of Songdo? A．Siemens. B．Microsoft. C．Cisco. D．IBM. 4．Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to _______. A．solve the cities’ coming problems B．develop his own company C．control the world’s population D．drive people out of cities 5．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Government Services B．Famous Companies C．Future Education D．Smart Cities D ①Imagine your life in the future. You wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom. The shower starts right away, and the water is just the right temperature. After your shower, your favorite breakfast is on the table. But wait! You live by yourself. How can this happen? Smart Appliances ②In the future, technology will make our appliances really smart. Take the fridge for example. There is a special chip (芯片) in it. This chip can “read” how many kinds of food you have and when you bought it. Then, the fridge can tell you what to cook or what food you need to buy. It’s like having a little helper in your kitchen! Smart Houses ③Are you bored with the color of your walls? Don’t worry! In the future, you won’t need to paint them. The walls will know what you like and what you don’t like. They can change colors by themselves! A computer network connects the walls to everything in your house, so your house can make you feel comfortable. Smart Robots ④Scientists are making smart robots. These robots will make you feel happy to have them at home. They can show their feelings just like we do. They can do the housework, take care of kids, and look after the old people. They are really helpful! ⑤It’s so cool to think about these things. How soon will they become real? Maybe in the next 10 years, or even sooner! Some technologies are already here. The future is coming fast! 1．What can the special chip in the fridge do? a. It can “read” the food you have.         b. It can tell you what to cook. c. It can tell you what food you need to buy.     d. It can clean the fridge by itself. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 2．How can the walls in smart houses change colors? A．By listening to people’s requests. B．By turning on the appliances on the wall. C．By reading an instruction on the computer. D．By connecting the computer network to everything in the house. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Smart fridges. B．Smart houses. C．Smart robots. D．Smart scientists. 4．What does the writer want to tell us through the last paragraph? A．Future life will come in the next 10 years. B．Future life will be quite different from today’s life. C．There are already some technologies available for future life. D．It will be hard for people to make good choices for their future life. 5．What would be the best structure of the text? A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 二、完形填空 A Life in the year 3,044 is very different 1 the life in the 21st century. We still do many of the things we did, but we do them 2 . For example, we have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just like a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost 3 we human beings do. My e-friend is a lot like me and we have a lot of fun together. She helps me with my homework and we often go swimming. She can take care of me if anything happens, so I always feel 4 when we are together. She can also send me message, just like e-mails, and I can download information from her memory. It’s great 5 an e-friend—I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk to. I would like to tell you more about life in the year 3,044,but I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room. Maybe 6 I will be able to travel back in time and visit you. 1．A．as B．from C．with D．like 2．A．different B．difference C．differently D．the same 3．A．something B．anything C．everything D．nothing 4．A．tired B．safe C．surprised D．excited 5．A．have B．has C．to have D．having 6．A．one day B．the day C．that day D．yesterday B Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文） Picture this: You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The 1 is the perfect temperature. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s a rainy day. You live 2 , but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door. How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life! APPLIANCES THAT TALK Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Appliances will 3 each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest menu and recipes based on food items you already have. HOUSES THAT THINK Are you 4 the color or pattern of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. This technology controls your entire house. Your house can learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. 5 , it will set the heat in the house to your favourite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right heat. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up. ROBOTS THAT 6 ? But how about your cooked breakfast, and the umbrella and hat you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots. Sociable robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile, frown and make eye contact. These robots will do work around the house. Hopefully they will even take care of children and the elderly. How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in the next 10 years, perhaps sooner. 1．A．body B．weather C．food D．water 2．A．abroad B．alone C．happily D．quietly 3．A．play with B．compete with C．get along with D．communicate with 4．A．amazed at B．tired of C．worried about D．aware of 5．A．For example B．What’s more C．After all D．In brief 6．A．HELP B．SPEAK C．FEEL D．FLY C 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 1 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 2 . 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 3 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 4 than it is now. Our house might be 5 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 6 . Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good. 1．A．attitude B．ability C．possibility D．decision 2．A．directly B．extremely C．surprisingly D．completely 3．A．change B．lose C．miss D．figure 4．A．better B．worse C．more amazing D．less interesting 5．A．positive B．scientific C．smart D．perfect 6．A．cars B．traffic C．complaints D．accidents D Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Picture this: You wake up in the morning.

So what do you think it will be like 1 fifty years? In 2075, many people can 2 to be 150. So at the age of 80, you’re not old at all. Science has surprising ways to keep people young. 3 any part of your body is not well, you can “grow”a new one in a laboratory (实验室). People’s health will improve, and new medicine will play 4 important role. Robots will help doctors and sometimes take their places. Doctors will be able to help people live 5 than now. What’s more, with the help of science, people 6 better education. E-books will take the place of paper books and students will not have to go to school every day. Robot teachers can answer 7 questions anytime and anywhere. There will be no food problem anymore. People can grow crops (庄稼) everywhere, even on the top of buildings. Housing problems will stop, too. People will build 8 under the sea. Also, some people will live on the moon. 9 will have a place to live. How about you?

Look, at 60, you are not old at all. When you get dressed, you say 3 your shirt, “Turn red.” It becomes red. In 2045, “smart” clothes have small computer-like things. You can use 4 to pick colors for your clothes. On the way to the kitchen, you want 5 a friend. Your phone is near the window because it gets its energy (能量) from the sun. But you don’t need to pick up 6 phone. You can just touch your jacket to make the call. It’s breakfast time. You reach for (伸手去拿) the milk, 7 your fridge (冰箱) says. “Don’t drink that!” It knows the milk goes bad, and tells the supermarket to send you a new bottle.

They are much 1 than humans at doing their jobs. Some scientists believe that there will be such a kind of robot in the future. 2 , they agree it needs time to make it come true. It may take 3 years. With the fast development of science and technology, some scientists believe that robots will be able 4 to people in 25 to 50 years. In addition, some of the robots may be able to do as many things 5 people can at that time. In the near future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have much 6 work to do. New robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and 7 might look like snakes. After an earthquake (地震), a snake robot can help 8 people under buildings. That may not seem (似乎) possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a few thousand years ago. 9 knows what the world will be like in the future.

Here are some predictions. There will be more 1 (pollution) and less fresh water because there will be more factories and more water will be polluted. The environment will probably be even 2 . Hundreds of people may leave the earth by rockets to look 3 another planet to live on. They may play a part in building more space stations and live like astronauts. 4 , some people disagree. They think there’s nothing 5 (be) afraid of. The sky won’t fall down. On one side, people will plant more trees. They 6 (live) in big apartments and never use paper money. For 7 (educate), students won’t go to school every day—they’ll study 8 home and learn from 9 (video). They can even discuss with their 10 (partner) online. B In the world that we are creating very quickly, we’re going to see more and more things that look like science fiction (科幻小说), 1 fewer and fewer things that look like jobs. For example, our cars are very quickly going to start driving 2 (them). That means we’re going to need fewer drivers. At the same time, there might be some new kinds of jobs 3 the future. Let’s have a look at some of them. Many technological 4 (device) like robots will become more common in our homes and schools, so we’ll need people who know how to fix them. These workers will be like robot doctors, finding out what’s wrong with 5 robot and helping it get better. As AI is developing fast, we’ll need people 6 (check) if it works properly. We call these people AI rule keepers. They won’t allow AI 7 (do) anything harmful to humans. Schools might look 8 (differently) in the future, with lessons designed just for you. Then we’ll need 9 (person) learning planners. These planners would create special learning plans for each student, so that everyone could get 10 they need to succeed. 试卷第22页，共22页 1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 6 Life in the future 课时2 Reading：畅想未来主题阅读（分层作业） 一、核心词汇 （一）名词类 1.科技生活类：robot（机器人）、appliance（器具）、e-reader（电子阅读器）、rocket（火箭）、space station（太空站）、memory（内存 / 回忆） 2.环境社会类：pollution（污染）、environment（环境）、planet（星球）、financial crisis（经济危机）、rural area（农村地区）、medical clinic（医疗诊所） （二）动词类 1.操作控制类：control（控制）、connect（连接）、download（下载）、check（检查）、repair（修理） 2.状态变化类：develop（发展）、increase（增加）、reduce（减少）、change（改变）、disappear（消失） （三）形容词类 smart（智能的）、comfortable（舒适的）、safe（安全的）、polluted（受污染的）、crowded（拥挤的）、rapid（快速的）、different（不同的）、perfect（完美的） （四）副词类 extremely（极其）、widely（广泛地）、completely（完全地）、differently（不同地）、greatly（极大地） 二、核心短语 1.depend on（依靠） 2.thanks to（多亏） 3.care for（照顾） 4.according to（根据） 5.plan to do sth.（计划做某事） 6.used to do sth.（过去常常做某事） 7.play a role in（在…… 中起作用） 8.be able to do sth.（能够做某事） 9.look forward to doing sth.（期待做某事） 10.be different from（与…… 不同） 一、阅读理解 A What will our homes be like in the future?

According to the scientists, one difference is that in many places it’s going to be much hotter and it’s going to rain less. Some countries in Africa are going to become very dry all year round, and people can hardly find food and water. In Southern Europe and the United States, it’s going to be less easy for plants to grow. People there are also going to have problems finding food in the future. No one knows how much warmer it is going to be, but scientists say that the change is going to be at least 2℃. They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die. There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear.   Another difference is that there are going to be more hurricanes and typhoons (飓风和台风). Scientists say they are going to happen all over the world, and many people are going to lose their homes.    The earth is our home.

They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die.（没人知道会变暖多少，但科学家说这种变化至少会达到2摄氏度。他们说北极的冰在未来几年将会融化，那里的很多动物将会死亡。）”，结合常识可知，气温升高，冰会变成水，所以“melt”意思是变成水，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章“There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear.（海里的水也会更多，所以沿海城市将会消失。）”可推知，住在一些沿海城市的人们将不得不离开他们的家，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇提到没人知道未来天气什么样，但很多人认为会有一些不同，接着从气温、降水、北极冰、飓风和台风等方面讲述未来天气的变化，所以主要是关于未来天气的变化，故选D。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述未来天气会有变化；第二、三、四段分别从不同方面阐述未来天气变化及影响；第五段总结呼吁大家保护地球，是“总—分— 总”结构，与选项A的结构相符，故选A。 C 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. 1．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 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A meeting in Songdo. B．A city of the future. C．A plan to build a house. D．A report on public health. 3．Which company is behind the creation of Songdo? A．Siemens. B．Microsoft. C．Cisco. D．IBM. 4．Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to _______. A．solve the cities’ coming problems B．develop his own company C．control the world’s population D．drive people out of cities 5．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．Government Services B．Famous Companies C．Future Education D．Smart Cities 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了智能城市的概念、特点及其未来发展，并以松岛为例展示了智能城市的技术应用。 1．细节理解题。根据“Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a ‘smart’ city like this could happen sooner than you think.”可知，生活在智能城市中可能比你想象的更快实现。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。第二段主要描述了松岛这座未来城市的特点，包括远程遥控系统、智能扶梯等。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.”可知，松岛的建设理念来自思科公司。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“‘Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,’ said Dan Hill”可知，Dan Hill认为让城市更智能是解决城市未来问题的一种方法。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讨论了智能城市的概念、特点及其未来发展。故选D。 D ①Imagine your life in the future. You wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom. The shower starts right away, and the water is just the right temperature. After your shower, your favorite breakfast is on the table. But wait! You live by yourself. How can this happen? Smart Appliances ②In the future, technology will make our appliances really smart. Take the fridge for example. There is a special chip (芯片) in it. This chip can “read” how many kinds of food you have and when you bought it. Then, the fridge can tell you what to cook or what food you need to buy. It’s like having a little helper in your kitchen! Smart Houses ③Are you bored with the color of your walls? Don’t worry! In the future, you won’t need to paint them. The walls will know what you like and what you don’t like. They can change colors by themselves! A computer network connects the walls to everything in your house, so your house can make you feel comfortable. Smart Robots ④Scientists are making smart robots. These robots will make you feel happy to have them at home. They can show their feelings just like we do. They can do the housework, take care of kids, and look after the old people. They are really helpful! ⑤It’s so cool to think about these things. How soon will they become real? Maybe in the next 10 years, or even sooner! Some technologies are already here. The future is coming fast! 1．What can the special chip in the fridge do? a. It can “read” the food you have.         b. It can tell you what to cook. c. It can tell you what food you need to buy.     d. It can clean the fridge by itself. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcd 2．How can the walls in smart houses change colors? A．By listening to people’s requests. B．By turning on the appliances on the wall. C．By reading an instruction on the computer. D．By connecting the computer network to everything in the house. 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Smart fridges. B．Smart houses. C．Smart robots. D．Smart scientists. 4．What does the writer want to tell us through the last paragraph? A．Future life will come in the next 10 years. B．Future life will be quite different from today’s life. C．There are already some technologies available for future life. D．It will be hard for people to make good choices for their future life. 5．What would be the best structure of the text? A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①②/③/④⑤ 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要畅想了未来智能家电、智能房屋和智能机器人将给人们的生活带来的变化。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“There is a special chip (芯片) in it. This chip can ‘read’ how many kinds of food you have and when you bought it. Then, the fridge can tell you what to cook or what food you need to buy.”可知，冰箱里的特殊芯片可以“读取”你拥有的食物种类和购买时间，然后冰箱可以告诉你做什么菜或需要买什么食物。因此，选项a、b、c都是正确的，而d选项“它可以自己清洁冰箱”在文中并未提及。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“A computer network connects the walls to everything in your house, so your house can make you feel comfortable.”以及前文提到的“They can change colors by themselves!”可知，智能房屋的墙壁通过计算机网络与房子里的所有东西相连，从而可以自己改变颜色。因此，选项D“通过将计算机网络与房子里的所有东西相连”是正确的。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Scientists are making smart robots. These robots will make you feel happy to have them at home. They can show their feelings just like we do. They can do the housework, take care of kids, and look after the old people.”可知，这里的“They”指的是前面提到的“smart robots”，即智能机器人。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s so cool to think about these things. How soon will they become real? Maybe in the next 10 years, or even sooner! Some technologies are already here.”可知，作者想通过最后一段告诉我们，有些技术已经为未来的生活所用了，未来生活即将快速到来。因此，选项C“已经有一些技术可用于未来的生活”是正确的。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段通过描述一个未来生活的场景来引出话题；第二、三、四段分别介绍了智能家电、智能房屋和智能机器人；最后一段总结全文，指出未来生活即将快速到来，有些技术已经可用。因此，文章的结构是“总-分-总”，即①/②③④/⑤。故选B。 二、完形填空 A Life in the year 3,044 is very different 1 the life in the 21st century.

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 1 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 2 . 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 3 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 4 than it is now. Our house might be 5 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 6 .
