Many people today believe that technology (科技) 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. ②When 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 480km 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. ③3-D printing is another new technology for the future. 3-D 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, 3-D 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. ④Finally, 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. ⑤It 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．What is an advantage of the robot suit mentioned in the passage? A．It can control air traffic for flying cars. B．It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk long distances. C．It reduces the cost of 3-D printed medical parts. D．It replaces the need for human workers in factories. 3．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．3-D printing won't change the way we make things. C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 4．What would be the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the theme (主题) of the passage? A．Traffic. B．Machines. C．Clothes. D．Technology. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了未来科技可能带来的变革，包括飞行汽车、3-D打印技术和机器人套装等，同时指出了这些技术的优缺点，并展望了科技让生活更便捷、更安全的未来。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology (科技) is going to help solve some problems we have today.”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来开始文章。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way.”可知，机器人套装的优点是它允许人们举起重物和走很长的路。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As we move into the future, 3-D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.”可知，3-D打印技术将改变我们制造物品和治疗病人的方式，因此B选项“3-D printing won't change the way we make things.”是错误的。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出主题，即未来科技可能带来的变革；第二、三、四段分别介绍了飞行汽车、3-D打印技术和机器人套装等未来科技及其优缺点；第五段总结全文，展望了科技让生活更便捷、更安全的未来。因此，文章的结构是①/②③④/⑤。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Many people today believe that technology (科技) is going to help solve some problems we have today.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了未来科技可能带来的变革，因此文章的主题是科技。故选D。 Some of the jobs were common (普遍的) fifty years ago. But now we almost cannot see them. Some common jobs today may also disappear (消失) in twenty years. So do you want to know about some of the future jobs? Space (宇宙) tour guide People are expecting (期待) an exciting trip 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 explaining what they are seeing and keeping them safe. It means that the space tour guide must be a good communicator. AI psychologists (人工智能心理学家) More and more work needs AI. And machines will be more like humans. They will need engineers to develop their “minds”. An AI psychologist will need to understand both psychology and technology (科技). 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 check out if the technologies are safe and choose the best ones. 1．How many future jobs are mentioned in this text? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 2．The underlined word “communicator” probably means a person who can ________.

It means that the space tour guide must be a good communicator.”可知，对于这次旅行，旅行者需要一个耐心的导游来解释他们所看到的，并保证他们的安全。这意味着太空导游必须是一个善于沟通的人。因此，“communicator”指的是能够分享想法和感受的人，即善于沟通的人。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Human-technology integration specialist...They could teach others how to use future technologies.”可知，人机融合专家可以教别人如何使用未来的技术。这与选项C的描述相符，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Some common jobs today may also disappear in twenty years. So do you want to know about some of the future jobs?”可知，现在一些常见的工作可能在二十年后消失，因此文章接下来介绍了一些未来的工作。由此可以推断，未来会出现一些新的工作，故选B。 5．最佳标题题。根据文章内容，全文主要介绍了未来可能出现的三种职业，因此最合适的标题是“Some Future Jobs”（一些未来的工作），故选A。 With the development (发展) of technology (科技), education is changing. The classroom of the future will not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. There will be no blackboard in the classroom. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, writing 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 full of screens (屏幕). In the coming years, students and teachers will not be studying face-to-face at school. Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, but in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in a real classroom. Students can also “visit” historical places, see the geography of the planet, “travel” around the world, and much more. Future classrooms will bring students different learning methods (方法). Each student can choose a learning method that they are interested in. This will help students learn faster and get better grades. 1．What might happen according to the second paragraph? A．Students won’t need to take classes. B．There will be no desks in the classroom. C．Students won’t need to do their homework. D．There will be no blackboard in the classroom. 2．What does the underlined word mean?

A．It can bring different learning methods. B．It can help students learn faster. C．It can help students study better. D．It can develop (发展) students’ interests. 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How the technology will change our life. B．How students will learn in the future. C．How virtual classrooms will become popular. D．What the future classroom will be like. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了未来教室的样子，包括教室的设施、教学方式以及对学生学习的影响等方面。 1．细节理解题。根据“There will be no blackboard in the classroom.”可知，未来教室可能会没有黑板。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, but in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in a real classroom.”可知，在现实生活中，他们可能坐在家里的沙发上，但体验却像在真实的教室里，由此可推测“virtual”意思是“虚拟的”，与现实相对。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“… but in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in a real classroom. Students can also ‘visit’ historical places, see the geography of the planet, ‘travel’ around the world, and much more.”可知，在未来教室中学生可以“参观”历史名胜，了解地球的地理，“环游”世界，而坐在沙发上是现实生活中的状态，不是在未来教室中能做的事，所以②③④正确。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Future classrooms will bring students different learning methods (方法). Each student can choose a learning method that they are interested in. This will help students learn faster and get better grades.”可知，未来教室会带来不同的学习方法，帮助学生学得更快，取得更好的成绩，也就是帮助学生学得更好。文中说的是学生可以选择自己感兴趣的学习方法，而不是培养学生的兴趣。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据第一段“So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了未来教室的样子，包括教室的设施、上课方式等。选项D“未来教室会是什么样子”符合文章主旨。故选D。 进阶拓展训练5篇 Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious (有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. ____①____ And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favorite food whenever we like. ____②____ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. ____③____ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. ____④____ In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other man can make real.” 1．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE?

B．Technology will make our future better. C．People will have no real friends in the future. D．Technology will make no difference to our future. 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．The development of 3-D food in the future. B．The functions of robots in the future. C．The advantages of 5G network. D．Some guesses about the future life brought by technology. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学技术飞速发展对未来生活的若干猜想，包括3D食物、5G网络、水下城市、太空旅行和机器人。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Underwater cities will provide more space.”可知水下城市将会提供更多的生活空间。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“There will be much bandwidth (宽带) ”可知5G网络会带来更多的宽带，因此人们将获得无限的信息。“Without limit没有限制”与划线词“unlimited无限的”同义。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段全文内容可知，该段在讲述对于我们地球上的普通人来说，绕太空旅行的梦想将会实现。在未来几年，航天器将像公共汽车、火车和飞机一样受欢迎。我们可以离开家，进入太空进行冒险。甚至我们也会习惯住在那里。因此“Space tour will be a piece of cake.太空之旅将是小菜一碟。”可被放在第③处作为该段的主旨句。故选C。 4．推理判断题。结合第一段第一句“Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life.”及全文所述可知，本文介绍的5种科技使人们的生活变得更加美好。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。结合第一段第二句“Then what will the world be like in the future?”及全文其他内容可知，本文是关于科技进步使未来生活更美好的一些猜测与设想。故选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.

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.

Here is what life will be like. First, our spaceships are too slow to take large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceships can take us to get to Mars in two or three days! Second, people need food, water, and air to live. Because there is no soil (土壤) on Mars, scientists should be able to make many plants on Mars. ▲ However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now. Third, there is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. It isn’t a good thing for us because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Last, life on Mars will be better because there will be no school. Every student will have a computer at home. It is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework, and do exercise in the online schools. However, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travels will make many people feel bad. 1．How will the space travel to Mars by 2100 be? A．Much less comfortable than now. B．Much more comfortable than now. C．Much slower than now. D．Much faster than now. 2．Which of the following is right for “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．No animals will live there. B．They will get light from the sun. C．They will give us food and air. D．They will change the temperature there. 3．What does the underlined word “attracts” possibly mean? A．Pulls. B．Pushes. C．Gives. D．Misses. 4．Why does the writer say life on Mars will be better? A．Because the food will be more delicious there. B．Because students will attend online schools there. C．Because people will enjoy space travels. D．Because all the computers will be connected to the Internet. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Will People Travel to Mars? B．What Will the Life Be Like on Mars? C．When Will All People Live on Mars? D．Where Will People Live in the Future? 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了到2100年人类在火星上的生活情况，包括交通、食物、居住面临的问题以及教育等方面，同时指出火星生活虽有优势但也存在不如地球生活的地方。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, by 2100, spaceships can take us to get to Mars in two or three days!”可知，到2100年，宇宙飞船能在两三天内带我们到达火星，相比现在需要数月的时间，速度会快得多。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“people need food, water, and air to live. Because there is no soil on Mars, scientists should be able to make many plants on Mars.”以及后文“However, can these plants give water to us?”可知，人们生存需要食物、水和空气，火星没有土壤，科学家能在火星种植物，且后文询问植物能否给我们水，由此可推断出这些植物能给我们提供食物和空气。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Mars attracts us much less than the earth does. It isn’t a good thing for us because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space.”可知，火星对我们的吸引力比地球小得多，这对我们不是好事，因为我们很容易跳得太高然后慢慢飞向太空，由此可推断出“attracts”意思是“吸引”，“Pulls”（拉）与“吸引”意思相近。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Last, life on Mars will be better because there will be no school. Every student will have a computer at home. It is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework, and do exercise in the online schools.”可知，作者说火星上的生活会更好是因为没有学校，学生可以在家通过联网的电脑在网上学校学习、做作业和锻炼。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕到2100年人类在火星上的生活情况展开，介绍了火星生活的各个方面，所以最佳标题是“What Will the Life Be Like on Mars?”。故选B。 能力综合实践5篇 We will live in peace (和平) in 2050.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? How big is it? What’s out there? Are there other planets with life on them? We don’t know yet, but we’re trying to discover more. Some people work hard to learn about the universe. They are astronomers (天文学家) and they look at the stars. Other people design (设计) and make machines and these machines travel in space. These people are astronauts. Astronauts go up into space and look at the earth. They also take photos of the other planets and the stars. Sometimes they live in space for a few days or weeks. They do experiments (实验) and learn about what happens to the human body in space. The space is really mysterious. It’s strange but interesting for us because we don’t know much about them. Soon, some people will be able to travel into space for fun. A company called Virgin Galactic is designing a new kind of plane. This plane can go very fast and very high. People who want to travel in space will pay $200,000 for a ticket. The plane goes up to 100 kilometers above the earth. There are only six passengers and two pilots on the plane.

Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious (有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. 1 And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favorite food whenever we like. 2 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. 3 For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. 4 In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other man can make real.” 1．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE?

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.

Here are some predictions: 〇Do 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. 〇Did I turn off the oven? Did I close the window? Everyone may have a moment like that. But in the future, your home will check these for you. 〇In your home of the future, all of your devices can work together to make your life more comfortable. When you turn on the lights in the morning, your windows will open at the same time. The lights will slowly turn off by themselves after the sun appears. 〇Your home may have dangers. The hackers (黑客) could open your door and cause a mess at your home through your phone or other devices. Your home will tell you about it but you can’t arrive in time. So people will have to be careful with their personal information. 根据语篇内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。 1．In the future, what can we do on our way home? A．Take a shower. B．Let the water heater work.

A．Some beautiful houses B．Some famous predictions C．A better world D．Homes for the future ①What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology (科技) 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. ②When 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 480km 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. ③3-D printing is another new technology for the future. 3-D 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, 3-D 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. ④Finally, 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. ⑤It 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．What is an advantage of the robot suit mentioned in the passage? A．It can control air traffic for flying cars. B．It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk long distances. C．It reduces the cost of 3-D printed medical parts. D．It replaces the need for human workers in factories. 3．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．3-D printing won't change the way we make things. C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 4．What would be the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the theme (主题) of the passage? A．Traffic. B．Machines. C．Clothes. D．Technology. Some of the jobs were common (普遍的) fifty years ago. But now we almost cannot see them. Some common jobs today may also disappear (消失) in twenty years. So do you want to know about some of the future jobs? Space (宇宙) tour guide People are expecting (期待) an exciting trip 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 explaining what they are seeing and keeping them safe. It means that the space tour guide must be a good communicator. AI psychologists (人工智能心理学家) More and more work needs AI. And machines will be more like humans. They will need engineers to develop their “minds”. An AI psychologist will need to understand both psychology and technology (科技). 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 check out if the technologies are safe and choose the best ones. 1．How many future jobs are mentioned in this text? A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 2．The underlined word “communicator” probably means a person who can ________. A．share ideas and feelings B．protect the Earth C．tell different stories D．teach history 3．What may happen in the future according to the text? A．Many people will drive cars in the sky and visit the sun by themselves. B．Machines will be more like animals and they will develop their mind. C．Human-technology integration specialists can teach future technologies. D．AI psychologists can treat deadly diseases in the hospital. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the text? A．All the jobs will not change in the future. B．There will be some new jobs in the future. C．New technologies will develop slowly. D．All the new technologies will be safe. 5．What's the best title for the text? A．Some Future Jobs B．Travel to the Sun C．AI reads minds D．Safe Technologies With the development (发展) of technology (科技), education is changing. The classroom of the future will not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. There will be no blackboard in the classroom. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, writing down notes, and taking tests will be just a click away (点击鼠标即可).

Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious (有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. ____①____ And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favorite food whenever we like. ____②____ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. ____③____ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. ____④____ In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other man can make real.” 1．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE?

B．Technology will make our future better. C．People will have no real friends in the future. D．Technology will make no difference to our future. 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．The development of 3-D food in the future. B．The functions of robots in the future. C．The advantages of 5G network. D．Some guesses about the future life brought by technology. 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.

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 What do you expect for the year of 2050? Let’s have a look at the following students’ ideas. Steven: We will live in peace in 2050. Countries won’t fight with each other. We will be able to go on a trip to other planets by spaceship and we will find other planets which humans can live on. We will probably find aliens (外星人)! We will probably be able to see robots everywhere, like at home, in factories, and in hospitals. They will help to make our lives more comfortable. Samuel: I think a lot of things will be different in 2050. But the world will still have a lot of pollution problems. We will need to find other resources (资源) because of the large population. We will also need to build more spaceships to go to the moon and Mars, because we will have to get resources from these places. Lisa: In 2050, people will live longer and have fewer health problems. There won’t be any wars. My sister Judy thinks everybody will be able to speak at least five languages and it will be easier for her to visit other countries! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the underlined word “They” refer to?

With the development (发展) of technology (科技), education is changing. The classroom of the future will not be the same as the classroom of today. So what will the future classroom be like? Let’s try to find it out. There will be no blackboard in the classroom. Students will take classes by looking at their touch-screen (触摸屏的) desks. And doing homework, writing 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 full of screens. In the coming years, students and teachers will not be studying face-to-face at school. Teachers and students can get into a virtual (虚拟的) classroom, but in real life, they may be sitting on the sofa at home. The experience will be like being in a real classroom. Students can also “visit” historical places, see the geography of the planet, “travel” around the world, and much more. Future classrooms will bring students different learning methods. Each student can choose a learning method that they are interested in. This will help students learn faster and get better grades. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What might happen according to the second paragraph?

D．How virtual classrooms will become popular. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． By the year 2100, we will live on Mars (火星). Here is what life will be like. First, our spaceships are too slow to take large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceships can take us to get to Mars in two or three days! Second, people need food, water, and air to live. Because there is no soil (土壤) on Mars, scientists should be able to make many plants on Mars. ▲ However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now. Third, there is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. It isn’t a good thing for us because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Last, life on Mars will be better because there will be no school. Every student will have a computer at home. It is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework, and do exercise in the online schools. However, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travels will make many people feel bad. 1．How will the space travel to Mars by 2100 be? A．Much less comfortable than now. B．Much more comfortable than now. C．Much slower than now. D．Much faster than now. 2．Which of the following is right for “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．No animals will live there. B．They will get light from the sun. C．They will give us food and air. D．They will change the temperature there. 3．What does the underlined word “attracts” possibly mean? A．Pulls. B．Pushes. C．Gives. D．Misses. 4．Why does the writer say life on Mars will be better? A．Because the food will be more delicious there. B．Because students will attend online schools there. C．Because people will enjoy space travels. D．Because all the computers will be connected to the Internet. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Will People Travel to Mars? B．What Will the Life Be Like on Mars? C．When Will All People Live on Mars? D．Where Will People Live in the Future? 能力综合实践5篇 We will live in peace (和平) in 2050. Countries won’t fight with each other. We will be able to go on a trip to other planets by spaceship and we will find other planets which humans can live on. We will probably find aliens (外星人)! We will probably be able to see robots everywhere, like at home, in factories, and in hospitals. They will help to make our lives more comfortable. Steven I think a lot of things will be different in 2050. But the world will still have a lot of pollution problems. We will need to find other resources (资源) because of the large population (人口). Now the world’s population is about 7.7 billion (十亿) and it will reach about 9.7 billion in 2050. We will also need to build more spaceships to go to the Moon and Mars, because we will have to get resources from these places. Samuel In 2050, people will live longer and have fewer health problems.
