For most kids, the kitchen is often a place of mystery (神秘) and wonder. But Flynn McGarry is not like most kids. He is already the “boss” in the kitchen, wearing a big chef’s hat that almost covers his eyes. At just 15 years old, Flynn became a 13 teenage chef in the US. He even started his own dining club right at home. He worked with some of the best restaurants in the country, learning new tricks (技巧) and sharing his own. Flynn’s 14 for cooking began when he was only ten. After school, while other kids were playing, Flynn would be in the kitchen, 15 his knife skills. With every book he read and every video he watched online, he got better and better. His room is not like other boys’ rooms. There are no video games, basketballs, or movie posters. But you’ ll find pots, cutting boards, and pans, all 16 up, ready for action. When Flynn turned 11, his parents helped him turn his bedroom into a special place called “Eureka”. It’s not just a room; it’s a monthly 17 club where Flynn gets to show off his cooking skills. He cooks up a storm for his mother’s friends, and they can’t get enough of his food. Soon, he was known as a “culinary prodigy (烹饪神童),” and now people are willing to 18 $160 per person to have a taste of his magic in the kitchen. Flynn loves to create dishes that are not just tasty but also surprising.

But what changes might we see? It's pretty likely that robots and AI technology will bring great changes to jobs. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily lives. Scientists have even bigger ideas in a video called To the Future. Dr. Juraz believes we might be able to control things around us simply with our thoughts. "Imagine that you could use simple devices (设备) to connect to your mind and control things around you simply by thinking about it," Juraz says. The future has more than just that. Steven says that we'll be able to create very strong but light things. New materials will change the way we build everything from cars to spacecrafts. Imagine cars are safer, more energy-saving, and able to carry heavier things. Lighter spacecrafts could mean great cuts in the cost and make more exploration goals possible. Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change. She says, "I think one day we can tell a machine what to do with just a button (按钮) or a few simple words." For example, pilots have to follow many steps for a plane to take off. But in 2045, according to Panny, "prepare for taking off" will be enough, and the computer will do the rest. Or maybe, we won't even need pilots. These are just a few of the many possible changes that 2045 might bring. It makes us wonder what other surprises the future holds. Will there be new forms of energy that change our lives? 1.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. AI that can make our lives become easier. B. The video that shows the new technology. C. The changes that may take place in the future. D. Some inventions that have changed peopleˈs lives. 2.How does Panny explain her idea? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By listing numbers. D. By making comparisons. 3.What will the writer probably write about after the last paragraph? A. Many possible changes. B. New forms of energy. C. New wonders in 2045. D. Planes without pilots. 4.Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】C、B、B、A 【解析】【文章大意】本文主要探讨了2045年世界可能发生的变化。 1. 根据第四段内容，尤其是“Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change.”可知，第四段主要讲述的是未来可能发生的变化。故选C。 2. 根据第四段中的“For example, pilots have to… will do the rest.”可知，Panny通过举例子的方式来解释她的想法。故选B。 3. 根据最后一段中的“Will there be new forms of energy that change our lives?”可知，作者在最后一段提出了一个问题，即是否会有新的能源改变我们的生活，由此可推测，作者接下来可能会写关于新能源的内容。故选B。 4. 文章第一段提出2045年世界将有很大不同，接着第二段、第三段以及第四段分别介绍三位科学家对2045年生活的不同设想，最后一段总结并引发对未来更多可能的思考，故文章的结构为“总—分—总”。故选A。 4. What will our homes be like in the future? Technology is changing our lives, and smart homes are becoming more and more popular. In a smart home, many devices can be controlled by a central system. For example, you can use your smartphone to turn on the lights before you arrive home. You can also set the smart thermostat (恒温器) to adjust the temperature according to your daily schedule. This way, your home will always be at a comfortable temperature when you are there, and it can save energy when you are away. Smart homes can also make our lives safer. Some smart homes have cameras and sensors. If a stranger comes near your home, the cameras will send a message to your phone. You can see what’s happening even when you are far away. Smart locks can also make it easier for you to enter your home. You don’t need to carry keys any more. You can open the door with a code or your fingerprint. Moreover, smart homes are convenient for daily life. In the kitchen, smart appliances can help you cook. A smart oven can cook your food according to the recipe you choose on your phone. A smart fridge can tell you what food you need to buy when something is running out. However, smart homes also have some problems. For example, they can be quite expensive to set up. You need to buy many smart devices, and the installation (安装) may also cost a lot. Also, if there is a problem with the system, all the devices may not work properly. And there are also concerns about privacy (隐私). Since all the information is connected to the internet, it may be at risk of being hacked. Despite these problems, smart homes are the trend of the future. As technology develops, they will become more affordable and user-friendly. 1．What can you do with a smart thermostat?

One of the biggest problems in trying to achieve (实现) your goals (目标) is that you always put them off until tomorrow or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to achieve a goal, you have to start on it today. So how do you find the time for your goals? Here are some ways to help. One goal at a time Often the problem is that you try to achieve too many goals. You have a list of things you want to achieve, like reading a book and learning Italian. Maybe you are interested in them, but you never start. Instead, you can start by choosing one goal at a time, because it’s difficult to keep the attention and energy on too many things at a time. Make sure you really want it It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning.” It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to achieve this goal. It’s important to do it early, or you won’t make time for your goal. Keep it simple It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. You don’t want to have many things to do to achieve your goal. Instead, pay attention to a smaller goal that will lead you to your bigger goal. Stay focused (集中的) One of the most difficult things when it comes to achieving your goal is keeping your attention (注意力) on it. It’s easy to become crazy about something else, and when you lose your focus, you’ll stop making time for the goal. So you should find ways to keep your attention.

The world will be very different in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be able to control (控制) things simply by using our mind. “Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment,” Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress (进展). “The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,” says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,” she said.

People will get there by rocket and they won’t spend a lot of money 6 (travel) in the rocket, because it will be very cheap. Before the trip, everyone will only need 7 (buy) a ticket and the spacesuit (航天服). The spacesuit will make people do things more 8   (easy) on the planet. They will also bring 9 (they) phones. That is enough, because there will be houses, banks and shops, I think. Everyone in the future will enjoy their life. Do you agree 10 me? 2. What will life be like in the future? Here are some predictions: There will be more pollution and less fresh water because there will be more 1 (factory) and more water will be 2 (pollute). The environment will 3 (probable) be even more dangerous. Hundreds of people have to leave the earth by rocket to look for another planet 4 (live) on. They have to play a part in 5 (build) more space stations and live like the astronauts. But some people 6 (agree). They think there’s nothing to be afraid of. The sky won’t fall 7 .

Let’s have a look at some of them. Robots will become more common in our homes and schools, so we’ll need people who know 3 to fix them. These workers will be like robot doctors, finding out what’s wrong with 4 robot and helping it get better. Imagine going on vacation to space! In the future, more people might be 5 (interest) in space travel, so we might need guides who can show tourists around the stars and planets. As AI (人工智能) is developing 6 (quick), we’ll need people to check that it works properly. We call these people Al rule keepers. They will make sure that Al won’t do anything 7 (harm) to humans. School might look different in the future, with lessons designed just for you. Then we’ll need personal learning planners. These planners would create special learning plans 8 each student, so that everyone could get what they need to succeed. These are just a few examples of the jobs we might 9 (has) in the future. The best way to get ready for these future jobs is to be open to new ideas and never stop learning. Knowledge will remain important, and problem solving and critical (批判性的) thinking skills will 10 (need) for our future education and work. Technology is developing fast and it 1 (become) an important part of our life. Then what will the world be 2 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. 3 (science) believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy 4 (we) favorite food whenever we like. 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. 5G 5 (expect) to download (下载) about 10 times 6 than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes about 10 minutes. Space tour will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space 7 (come) true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space 8 (take) an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to 9 (live) there. You won’t worry 10 the quality of the things you are shopping online. Some researchers are working on computer screens that can feel a sense of touch when you touch them. “If you’re shopping online for clothes, you could feel their fabrics (面料).” said Cynthia, an engineer at Texas A&B University, US. In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other man can make real.” 2、 完形填空。 1. We often watch moves about the future. What will the future and our life be like in 20 years?

Technologies can change the world we live in and the way we live. They make our lives easier than before. Here are some technologies that may change our lives in the future. ①______ Space is running out quickly in some crowded cities. When there’s no space left on the roads, it is possible that we will drive cars in the sky. There are already many interesting flying car designs (设计). They show that flying cars can be possible for the future use. If there’re no flying cars, we might have other personal ways of travel. ②______ In the future, you might not need to hold or look at traditional screens. There could be something special that makes screens appear on your skin (皮肤), clothes or other things. These screens could work like touchable (可触的) phone screens. They might even become a part of what you wear or be put inside your body. So you don’t have to carry a phone all the time, but you will have a screen with you everywhere you go. ③______ Now, picture a future where smart mirrors could tell you about your health problems. The only thing you need to do is take a quick look at the mirror. The information it gives could help you care about your health. Also, it could tell you how you’re feeling right now. Sounds great, right? No one can know the future. But whatever happens next, it will be great to live in a world with such wonderful technologies. 1．What does the underlined word “change” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Make something different. B．Make something famous. C．Make something polluted. D．Make something dangerous. 2．Match the title with each part. a. Spaceships   b. Flying cars   c. Smart mirrors   d. Traditional screens   e. Wearable screens A．①-a, ②-e, ③-c B．①-b, ②-e, ③-c C．①-b, ②-d, ③-c D．①-b, ②-c, ③-e 3．What can we get from the passage? A．Screens can only be put inside our body in the future. B．The smart mirrors can work like doctors to cure diseases (治病). C．Traditional screens will play a more important role in the future.

B．To show us it will be great to live in the future. C．To make us know the importance of knowing the future. D．To tell us some technologies that might change the world. 2. Protecting the earth One of the most difficult challenges the world faces today is lowering carbon emissions (排放). In 2024, we can expect more progress (进步) in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. It will be buried (埋) 400 meters underground. ________ Robots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities in 2024. These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions (陪伴) of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles in areas like health care and scientific research. Space and beyond The images from the world’s largest and most powerful space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope was sent up in 2023. It can take photos to make a 3D map of the universe. China will go on to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time. 1．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A．Human&Nature. B．Science&Technology. C．Travel&Sports. D．History&Culture. 2．Which is NOT the way to protect the earth? A．Sending out carbon emissions. B．Making progress in a new clean energy. C．Dealing with nuclear waste in a safer way. D．Burying nuclear waste 400 meters underground. 3．The best heading for the second piece of news would be ________. A．Health care robots B．Our future homes C．Human-like friends D．New AI systems 4．What can the Euclid Space Telescope do? A．Build more telescopes. B．Watch the stars in the sky. C．Give the world a surprise. D．Make a 3D map of the universe. 5.What do the three pieces of news have in common? A．They call on us to protect the earth. B．They can let us live a comfortable life. C．They help us find out more about space. D．They predict the future of science and technology. 3. It's clear that the world will be quite different in the year 2045. But what changes might we see? It's pretty likely that robots and AI technology will bring great changes to jobs. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily lives. Scientists have even bigger ideas in a video called To the Future. Dr. Juraz believes we might be able to control things around us simply with our thoughts. "Imagine that you could use simple devices (设备) to connect to your mind and control things around you simply by thinking about it," Juraz says. The future has more than just that. Steven says that we'll be able to create very strong but light things. New materials will change the way we build everything from cars to spacecrafts. Imagine cars are safer, more energy-saving, and able to carry heavier things. Lighter spacecrafts could mean great cuts in the cost and make more exploration goals possible. Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change. She says, "I think one day we can tell a machine what to do with just a button (按钮) or a few simple words." For example, pilots have to follow many steps for a plane to take off. But in 2045, according to Panny, "prepare for taking off" will be enough, and the computer will do the rest. Or maybe, we won't even need pilots. These are just a few of the many possible changes that 2045 might bring. It makes us wonder what other surprises the future holds. Will there be new forms of energy that change our lives? 1.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. AI that can make our lives become easier. B. The video that shows the new technology. C. The changes that may take place in the future. D. Some inventions that have changed peopleˈs lives. 2.How does Panny explain her idea? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By listing numbers. D. By making comparisons. 3.What will the writer probably write about after the last paragraph? A. Many possible changes. B. New forms of energy. C. New wonders in 2045. D. Planes without pilots. 4.Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 4. What will our homes be like in the future? Technology is changing our lives, and smart homes are becoming more and more popular. In a smart home, many devices can be controlled by a central system. For example, you can use your smartphone to turn on the lights before you arrive home. You can also set the smart thermostat (恒温器) to adjust the temperature according to your daily schedule. This way, your home will always be at a comfortable temperature when you are there, and it can save energy when you are away. Smart homes can also make our lives safer. Some smart homes have cameras and sensors. If a stranger comes near your home, the cameras will send a message to your phone. You can see what’s happening even when you are far away. Smart locks can also make it easier for you to enter your home. You don’t need to carry keys any more. You can open the door with a code or your fingerprint. Moreover, smart homes are convenient for daily life. In the kitchen, smart appliances can help you cook. A smart oven can cook your food according to the recipe you choose on your phone. A smart fridge can tell you what food you need to buy when something is running out. However, smart homes also have some problems. For example, they can be quite expensive to set up. You need to buy many smart devices, and the installation (安装) may also cost a lot. Also, if there is a problem with the system, all the devices may not work properly. And there are also concerns about privacy (隐私). Since all the information is connected to the internet, it may be at risk of being hacked. Despite these problems, smart homes are the trend of the future. As technology develops, they will become more affordable and user-friendly. 1．What can you do with a smart thermostat? A．Use it to turn on the lights. B．Open the door without a key. C．See what’s happening outside your home. D．Adjust the temperature according to your schedule. 2．How can smart homes make our lives safer? A．They can save energy. B．They can cook food for us. C．They can tell us what food we need to buy. D．Cameras and sensors can send messages when there’s a stranger. 3．What does the underlined word “hacked” in the passage mean? A．保护 B．破解 C．关闭 D．打开 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．The history of smart homes. B．The problems of smart homes. C．The future of smart homes. D．The introduction of smart homes, including their advantages, problems and future. 5. What will our homes be like in the future? Here are some predictions:     ◆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.     ◆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.     ◆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.     ◆Your home may have dangers. The hackers (黑客) could open your door and make your room messy 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 about their personal information. 1.What will our life be like in the future in smart homes? A. More comfortable. B. Much busier. C. A little safer. D.

Homes of the Future 4、 任务型阅读。 1. One of the biggest problems in trying to achieve (实现) your goals (目标) is that you always put them off until tomorrow or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to achieve a goal, you have to start on it today. So how do you find the time for your goals? Here are some ways to help. One goal at a time Often the problem is that you try to achieve too many goals. You have a list of things you want to achieve, like reading a book and learning Italian. Maybe you are interested in them, but you never start. Instead, you can start by choosing one goal at a time, because it’s difficult to keep the attention and energy on too many things at a time. Make sure you really want it It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning.” It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to achieve this goal. It’s important to do it early, or you won’t make time for your goal. Keep it simple It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. You don’t want to have many things to do to achieve your goal. Instead, pay attention to a smaller goal that will lead you to your bigger goal. Stay focused (集中的) One of the most difficult things when it comes to achieving your goal is keeping your attention (注意力) on it. It’s easy to become crazy about something else, and when you lose your focus, you’ll stop making time for the goal. So you should find ways to keep your attention. How to Make the Time for Your Goals If you want to achieve your goals, you have to start on them now. 1 What to do One goal at a time Sometimes maybe you are 2 in too many goals at a time, but you never start. You can start by choosing one goal at a time. Make sure you really want it Find out the 3 why you want to achieve this goal. Keep it simple It’s important to make your goal much 4 . Stay focused You must find ways to 5 your attention. 2. Now scientists are learning how to use science technology to make schools better. In the future, there will be a new kind of school which is connected (连接) with libraries, museums and companies. This new kind of school is different from our present schools. Scientists will give talks through the Internet. What’s more, this new kind of school will develop subjects that students can study on the Internet. Students can listen to talks, have lessons, read books, watch learning videos and do their homework on computers. It’s very convenient. Also, parents can check their children’s study through the Internet. In this way, they can know about their children’s study easily and quickly. Is that a dream? No. There are already a lot of schools using the Internet to give lessons. Those schools are connected to the Internet. Everyone can read books and study at home, at school or in the office. So children don’t have to go to school. How different schools will be! Life is changing and schools will be changed as well. But there is one thing for sure: schools will be better and better. It’s exciting to think about this new kind of school. I hope it will come true one day. 1．What will the new kind of school be connected with? 2．Who will give talks through the Internet? 3．How many things can students do on computers according to the passage? 4．What can parents do through the Internet? 5．How does the writer feel when he thinks about the new kind of school? 3. Welcome to a day of my life in 2040. I am Li Ming. I work in an office. I don’t need to work in the afternoon. At 8:00 in the morning, my robot servant Smart will wake me up. He will cook me a nice breakfast, and then drive me to my office. After 10 minutes, I arrive at my office. Then a big screen will show me what to do in the day. At lunchtime, I will have my lunch with some of my good friends in a restaurant. The robots will make all of the dishes. They are delicious! There will be a concert in the central music hall at 14:00. The singers are from all over the world. I will go there with my friends to enjoy many kinds of music. I think we will have a good time. At 17:00, we will take the spaceship to the moon. It will take us about half an hour to get there. We will enjoy the hot spring on the moon and watch Earth TV news on the dome (穹顶) screen over our heads. Then we will go back to the earth at 20:00. About half an hour later, I arrive at my house and say goodbye to my friends. After a shower and a glass of milk, I will go to bed and have a nice dream. 1．What is the name of Li Ming’s robot? 2．Who will make the dishes in the restaurant? 3．Where will there be a concert? 4．What will they do on the moon? 5．When will Li Ming arrive home? 4. What will the school look like in the future? It is not clear, but most people agree that the future school will go electronic（电子化）. Computers will become very important. Each student will have a computer. Everything will be in the computer and students don’t need to bring books to school. Students will find information on the Internet. A computer will be a student’s library, schoolbag and connection（连接）to the outside word. There will be robot teachers. They will check homework on computers and talk with students’ parents through e-mails. School buses will be like spaceships. A special computer will teach P.E. classes. The uniform will be very casual（非正式的）. There will be nurses in every school to look after sick students. There will be strict robots to make students work. The work may be hard or easy, but you will have to do it. The work will be done on computers. School food will be very healthy and delicious. 1．Is the school in the future going electronic? 2．What will become very important for the school in the future? 3．Where will the students find the information they want? 4．What will the robot teachers do in the future? 5．What will school buses be like? 5. The world will be very different in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be able to control (控制) things simply by using our mind. “Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment,” Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress (进展). “The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,” says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or maybe, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．What is possible to change the world a lot in 2045? 2．What’s the name of the video? 3．How many scientists gave their predictions in the video? 4．Who has the prediction about changing the buildings and other things around us? 5．How will people be able to control a machine according to Pam Melroy? 18 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 19 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
