Unit 7 单元主题语篇阅读之任务型阅读10篇 1. Dear Mary from 2024, I'm in 2074 now. Great changes have taken place in China. When I was young, I got a serious illness. Since then, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor. Now my dream has come true. I work in a hospital every day to save people's lives. There are more advanced (先进的) medical services than before. Doctors can do operations even when they're far away from the patients. This is because the Internet is faster now and the machines are smart enough. China now is one of the most developed countries in the world. Every car on the streets is a self-driving car. It uses electricity and won't pollute the air. Robots are also widely used in every home. They can do all of the housework. When you return home, your house is clean and tidy. We're living a comfortable life. Travelling to the moon has become popular. I know it's hard for you to imagine, but it's true. People between the ages of 18 and 60 are able to travel to the moon. I just bought a ticket and I'm going to travel to the moon soon. How exciting! In 2074, everything is fantastic. But this is because people back in 2024 were working hard. Dear Mary, work hard and create your own bright future!     Yours,     Mary from 2074 1.Why can doctors do operations when they’re far away from the patients in 2074?（不超过12词） ​​​​​​​                                                                                                        2.What can robots do in every home in 2074?（不超过10词） ​​​​​​​                                                                                                        3.How does Mary feel to travel to the moon?（不超过5词） ​​​​​​​                                                                                                        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. A lot of excellent straw-made miniatures (稻草微缩模型) of classic ancient buildings make Xu Jian’s home more beautiful. They include models from the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei Province to the Forbidden City’s turrets (角楼) in Beijing. They are all full of details and carefully crafted (手工制成的), tied and placed by Xu’s skillful hands. “All the doors and windows and everything else are made of sorghum stalks (高粱秆),” Xu points to the Yellow Crane Tower that is 1 meter high at his base in Yongqing County, Langfang City, Hebei Province. This special piece was made out of hundreds of thousands of sorghum stalks and took him two years to complete without the use of any nails (钉子) or glue. It completely depends on interlocking, tenon-and-mortise structures (榫卯结构),” the man in his 30s explains. The sorghum straw art requires lots of patience, especially for works showing images of ancient buildings. They usually take several months or even one to two years to complete. Additionally, all the beams and columns (横梁和立柱) are straightened after being heated over a lamp. It’s the only way that every door and window can open and close properly. The sorghum straw art follows strict standards from choosing material to making the work. Xu has grown sorghum in his farmland, and chooses those of the highest quality to create straw works. The sorghum stalks go from the thinnest at 1.8 millimeters to the thickest at 12 millimeters. Almost every piece includes hundreds of crafting steps. Xu doesn’t waste the leftover stalks, either, as he turns them into windmills (风车). “Nothing is useless if we put our heart into it,” says Xu. In the eyes of many, sorghum straw is only agricultural (农业的) waste, but through the creativity of craftsmen, it can be turned into a treasure. 1．Did Xu Jian use nails or glue when making the Yellow Crane Tower model? 2．How does Xu Jian make beams and columns straight? 3．What does the process of creating sorghum straw art tell us about Xu Jian’s personality?（At least 3 aspects） 4．Do you agree with what Xu said in the last paragraph? Why or why not?（About 30 words） 4. Sage (圣贤) of Medicine and Herbs Li Shizhen, a well-known medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty, is recognized as a great master of medicine in China. He put his heart and soul into medicine, only to save the dying and cure the sick. Li was born in 128 in Hubei. Both his grandfather and father were doctors. Li’s grandfather was a country doctor who travelled from place to place with a bag of herbs (药草) and was also a famous doctor in their local area. From childhood, Li went to the mountains with his father to pick herbs, gaining wide knowledge about animals, plants and medicine. Although Li’s father hoped his son could get a government job, Li failed the exam three times. He then turned his attention to medicine. At the age of 33, Li became famous for curing Prince Zhu Houkun’s son. A few years later, he was invited to work at the Imperial Medical Institute (太医院) in Beijing. During that time, he read many ancient medical texts, and noticed a mess in the naming and categorization (分类) of herbs. To deal with it, he decided to leave his job and devote himself to writing a book about herbs. After that, Li travelled to many places and got much first-hand experience. He also read hundreds of medical books and collected different kinds of herbs. After 27 years of efforts, his Ben Cao Gang Mu was completed in 1578. The book is highly detailed and the content is well-organized. And it is considered one of the greatest scientific achievements of the Ming Dynasty.

This technology is now part of our daily life, making many tasks easier and faster. From homes to schools, AI is changing how we live and learn. At home, AI helps us in simple ways. Smart speakers can play music, tell us the weather, and answer questions. Cleaning robots can keep floors clean while we do other things. With these smart devices (设备), we spend less time making our life more convenient. In education, AI acts as a personal tutor. It helps students learn at their own steps and become more confident. It can understand students’ needs of learning. If someone has trouble with math, AI can provide special exercises. However, AI also brings challenges. Some people worry that robots might take their jobs. We also need to protect our personal information when using AI services. I believe AI is a useful tool that can help us build a better future. It’s not here to take the place of humans, but to work with us. We should learn to use AI wisely and safely. By doing so, we can make our world smarter. AI is now a common part of life, and 1 in both homes and schools. At home, smart machines can do chores like cleaning and answering questions. They 2 and make our life more convenient.

But AI also brings some problems, such as people’s worry about losing their jobs or their own information. In the end, AI is a tool that should work with people, not take their place. 4 is very important if we want to build a smarter future. 6. It’s March, 201. Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago. There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world’s leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference（会议）with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades (十年) and then spend her time on music and painting. 根据短文内容填空，每空一词。 1．Frank and Mary switch on the __________ computer in the morning to get the __________ news. 2．Mary tells the computer to __________ 5,000 dollars because the US has __________ greatly. 3．A household robot __________ for Mary and Frank when they watch the screen. 4．Louise is a __________, now thirteen, who has many friends from __________ . 5．Their family doctor says that Louise may live to __________ __________ 130 years. 7. Life in the year 3044 is very different from life in the 21st century. We still do many things you did, but we do them differently. For example, we now have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just like a human. It can walk and talk like humans and can do almost the same things as we humans do. My e-friend is a lot like me, and we have a lot of fun together. She helps me with my homework, and we often go swimming. She is computerized to take care of me in case (万一) anything happens, so I always feel safe when we are together. She can also send me messages, and I can download (下载) information from her memory chip (芯片). It’s so great to have an e-friend. I never feel lonely, and I always have someone to talk to. Actually, I would plan to tell you more about life in the year 3044. I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room, though. Maybe one day I will be able to fly back in a time rocket and visit you and old friends. 1—2题完成句子；3—5题简略回答问题。 1．In the year 3044, we still do in different ways. 2．An e-friend can do almost as we humans do. 3．What is an e-friend? _____________________________________________________________ 4．How does the writer feel about his e-friend?

My dream home is a flying home. I get the idea from the film Up (《飞屋环游记》). It is a wooden house, so it is light. I am going to tie some helium balloons (氦气球) to the house. They bring the house up into the air. It takes us to different places every season. The house is not very big in size. We only need six comfortable rooms—two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room and a modern bathroom. The house flies to warm places in winter and cool places in summer. Where can we get energy and water? We get energy from the sun and we collect rainwater to use. So it is a green house. My parents say it is a crazy idea. They ask me what school I can study in if I live in that house. And they also say they work in Nanjing. They must live in the same place all the time. But I still hope my dream can come true one day.

Maybe no one knows. But it’s very interesting to make some predictions. Here are some exciting predictions. Language English and Chinese should be the most popular languages. Now many foreign people are studying Chinese A their second language. Water ① Water will become as expensive as oil because many rivers will disappear. We will have to save water and pay more for clean water. Education and Science Students won’t go to school. They will stay at home and study online.

I recently talked with four American students. Caden Sorensen, Chandler Stark, Fatima Abdi and Noelani Velasco Polley, to get their thoughts on this question. In 2045, the kids think, humans will be able to live on Mars. They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a “rest”. “And when we come back, we must try not to pollute as much.” says Stark. But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation (居住). The kids agree that immediate action must be taken to clean up the Earth. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.” The kids do not just care about progress in space exploration. They are also interested in the future jobs. Stark hopes to compose (创作) music for TV shows one day. Abdi wants to be a business owner. Sorensen dreams about becoming a lawyer. Polley wants to be a scientist. “I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs. ” Many jobs, the kids predict (预测), will be replaced by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark. But they believe the power to shape the future is in humans’ hands. “The world will be a better place, but of course, we need to work hard, and we all need to learn to be kind to others. ” 根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．In the kids’ opinion, where will humans be able to live in 2045? ___________________________________________________________ 2．What is Sorensen’s idea about the Earth? ___________________________________________________________ 3．Why does Stark say there will be no more factory jobs? ___________________________________________________________ 4．What do you think the world will look like in 2045? Write 30 words or more. ___________________________________________________________ 8 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 9 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 $ Unit 7 单元主题语篇阅读之任务型阅读10篇 1.
