2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 6 Life in the future 单元话题（畅想未来）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 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．They can make your friends sit near you and talk to you. C．You can touch your virtual friends. D．They can send your friends to you. 4．How does the writer feel about the future? A．Hopeful. 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 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 In the year 2123, Earth is facing a serious energy crisis (危机). Many people have moved to other planets (行星) to look for new energy sources (资源). However, some people choose to stay and try to solve the problem. A robot named Robo is one of the few left on Earth. His task is to help the people staying on the earth find new ways to produce (生产) clean energy. Robo works every day in the old city of New York. He has a small team of humans and other robots working with him. Together, they collect old machines (机器) and try to fix (修理) them to use as energy sources. Robo’s best friend is a small robot named Spark. They often work together and share ideas. One day, Robo and his team discover an old underground lab. Inside, they find a machine that can turn sunlight into a strong energy source. But the machine is broken. Robo is determined (决心) to fix it. He spends days studying the machine and trying different ways to fix it. Finally, he succeeds! When the machine is fixed, it starts producing a lot of clean energy. This gives hope to the people on Earth. They realize that they can still find ways to their problems without leaving the planet. Robo becomes a hero, and his story spreads (传播) across the world, inspiring (鼓励) others to work together and find new energy ways. The movie Robo is filled with hope and teamwork. It shows that even in difficult times, people and robots can work together to make a difference. You can watch it online or buy the DVD．It will inspire you to think about how we can protect our planet. 1．What problem is Earth facing in the year 2123? A．Too many robots. B．An energy crisis. C．Too many people. D．Not enough robots. 2．What is Robo’s task on Earth? A．To leave Earth. B．To fix broken robots. C．To collect old machines.

D．A map to other planets 4．What happens after Robo fixes the machine? A．The machine produces a lot of clean energy. B．Robo becomes a hero but no one cares. C．The machine breaks again. D．Robo leaves Earth. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Robot Robo’s Adventure (冒险) B．The Energy Crisis on Earth C．Finding New Energy Sources D．Working Together for a Better Future Do you ever think about the universe? 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 it. 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. The journey is only two hours, so the passengers don’t get any food. But they can see the earth from space and that’s an amazing thing! This could be the most exciting holiday experience in the future. 1．Astronauts do the following things in space except (除了) ________. A．doing experiments B．designing new machines C．looking at the earth D．taking photos of other stars 2．What does the underlined word “mysterious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Secret. B．Difficult.

A．The history of space travel company B．Anyone out there in space C．Learn about the universe from astronauts to space travel D．An exciting holiday experience in space Welcome to life in 2045! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror (镜子). You look like a 20-year-old. Because science finds good ways to keep people young and healthy, many people of your age could live to be 120. Look, you are not old at all. When you get dressed, you say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It becomes red in 2045! On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. But you don’t need to pick up the phone. You can just touch (触摸，碰) your jacket to make the call. It’s breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but your fridge says, “Don’t drink that!” It knows the milk is old, and tells the supermarket to send you a new bottle. Ten minutes later, it is sent by a drone (无人机). When you leave for work, lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into “sleep” to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where to go. Will all this come true? Perhaps the future is much closer than we think. 1．Why do people look young in the future? A．Because mirrors keep them young. B．Because life in 2045 is interesting.

D．What life will be like in 2045. 进阶拓展训练5篇 Li Ming In 2050, China will be much richer than it is now. Shanghai will be ready for the 40th Olympic Games in 2052. The sky will be bluer and cleaner and the air will be fresher. There will be more pandas living happily in China. Liu Yuan By the year 2050, a holiday on the moon will not be a dream. We can also travel to other planets and talk with aliens (外星人). We might eat something like pills (药片) instead of today’s meals. Everyone will enjoy a longer life. Sun Wei Robots will be very popular. They’ll do what people don’t want to do. Together with them, we’ll build new homes on other planets. By then, I’ll be over fifty years old. Maybe I’ll have an exciting talk with my friends in my new home on another planet! Zhang Lan By the year 2050, cloning (克隆) will be used in many ways.

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． 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 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 Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now, many changes will take place. But what will the changes be? The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people do now. Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in school then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many people will go to other countries on holidays. Work in the future will also be different. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will lose their jobs. This will be a problem. There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe people won’t eat meat every day. Instead, they will eat more fruits and vegetables. And people will be healthier. 1．Every family will have at least one ________. A．robot B．cow C．rocket D．computer 2．In the future, people don’t have to ________.

A．What Are Changes B．Life in the Future C．A Problem in the Future D．Changes of Computers 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. There won’t be any wars (战争). 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!

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?

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 “________”.

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.

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.

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。 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.

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?
