五、阅读理解
In the future, technology is advancing at an astonishing (惊人的) speed, which will bring about huge changes in our lives.
One of the most remarkable advances is in artificial intelligence. Smart robots will become common in every household. They can handle various household chores, take care of the elderly and children, and even provide companionship. In the medical field, AI-assisted diagnosis (诊断) systems will be able to detect diseases with higher accuracy and offer more personalized treatment plans.
The development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies will also transform our daily lives. We can use VR to travel to any place in the world without leaving home or experience historical events as if we were there. AR will be widely used in education, enabling students to learn in more vivid and interactive ways.
Moreover, the Internet of Things will connect all kinds of devices, making our homes and cities smarter. For example, smart homes can automatically adjust the temperature, lighting, and security settings according to our preferences. In smart cities, traffic jams will be alleviated (减轻) through intelligent transportation systems.
However, with the rapid development of technology, there will also be some challenges. For instance, the widespread use of automation may lead to job losses in some industries. Therefore, it is crucial for us to master science and technology from now on to better adapt to the future and make the most of the opportunities brought by technological progress.
1.What is one of the most remarkable advances in the future?
A.The development of transportation.
B.The improvement of education.
C.The progress in artificial intelligence.
D.The change of social structure.
2.How will smart robots help in the future?
A.They will only do heavy work.
B.They will handle all human tasks.
C.They can take care of household chores and offer companionship.
D.They will replace humans in all fields.
3.What is the challenge brought by the rapid development of technology?
A.The decrease in people’s creativity.
B.The breakdown of the Internet of Things.
C.The increase in environmental pollution.
D.The job losses in some industries.
4.Why is it important for us to master science and technology now?
A.To make more money.
B.To become famous.
C.To better adapt to the future and seize opportunities.
D.To compete with others.
Smartphones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have nicer cameras, but they are basically no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping, and working for something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. At the moment, the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a huge operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may not happen. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is called AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. We’ve used it a lot on our video call. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio (空间音频). This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high end earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So, why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far, no one has invented a good way to send images (影像) of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
1.According to the passage, what might be the new invention that will change our lives?
A.Smartphones. B.Cameras. C.Pockets. D.Smart glasses.
2.What are paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?
A.Where smart glasses could be used. B.When smart glasses might be made.
C.Why smart glasses should be changed. D.How smart glasses would give directions.
3.How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses?
A.Bored. B.Uncertain. C.Satisfied. D.Confident.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Different ways to use smartphones.
B.Smart glasses will be used in industry.
C.Smart glasses will greatly change our lives.
D.Why can’t we wear smart glasses at present?
What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely, but here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10—30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic (仿生的) Eyes
They are no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use WeChat Pay or Alipay to shop. Money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You could even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driver-less cars would be widely accepted.
1.Where do bionic eyes send information to?
A.Mind. B.Camera. C.Computer.
2.Which of the following ways of payment is not mentioned in this passage?
A.Credit cards. B.WeChat Pay. C.Alipay.
3.From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A.industry and farming B.traffic and journey C.science and technology
4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films.
B.The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
C.Self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside.
Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card (信用卡). We will use it instead of money to buy all the things. Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be no better than money.
Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint (拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government (政府) will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will possess one. Everyone’s thumbprints will be in the computer. It will be difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.
1.The writer probably agrees that credit cards are ________ to carry than money.
A.heavier B.easier C.more difficult D.more important
2.What may be a problem with credit cards in the future?
A.We may lose the cards from time to time. B.We won’t be able to make enough cards.
C.We may not know how to use the cards. D.We won’t remember which card is needed.
3.The underlined word “possess” probably means “________” in English.
A.lend B.have C.sell D.work
4.In the writer’s opinion, it’ll be the best way to buy things with ________ in the future.
A.money B.credit card C.thumbprints D.mobile phone
Your Life in 2060
Imagine it’s 2060. You are 40 years old, have a job, and a family. As you get ready for work, you stand in front of your mirror. “Turn red,” you say. Instantly, your shirt changes color from sky blue to deep red! This happens because tiny smart electronics inside the shirt reset to make the color switch. Looking at yourself, you can hardly believe you’re 40. You look much younger. Thanks to amazing new medicines, people your age might live to be 150 years old. You’re surely not middle-aged yet!
Next, you go into the kitchen to get breakfast. You pick up your cereal (麦片) box. Suddenly, your shoes speak up: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” How do they know? They read the special electronic code (代码) on the cereal box and checked the nutrition information. You ask your kitchen instead: “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” The kitchen looks at the food you have available. Then, a list of good breakfast choices appears on its screen for you.
“Are you ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. You remind them that long ago, in 2005, only trained astronauts went to space. Now, ordinary people can go for fun vacations! You hand each child three strawberries. “The doctor said you need these for your space travel,” you explain. Medicine has improved so much. Doctors can put special medicine right into normal foods like these berries. The kids put the strawberries into their mouths and head for the door.
Now it’s your turn to go to work. Your car scans (扫描) your fingerprint and unlocks. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. The car drives itself smoothly onto the road and joins the traffic on the highway. You sit back, relax, and open your electronic newspaper. The latest news downloads onto the screen right away. Instead of reading lots of words, you watch short video clips showing the news stories as you travel.
1.How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?
A.By listening to the doctor’s advice. B.By putting the breakfast into a bowl.
C.By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D.By checking the nutrition details of the food.
2.Why did children eat strawberries before the space travel according to the passage?
A.Because they are their breakfast. B.Because they are used as medicine.
C.Because they are children’s favorite fruit. D.Because they have much nutrition.
3.What does the word “command” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Reply. B.Order. C.Suggest. D.Answer.
4.What is the best title of this passage?
A.New Ideas for Home Products. B.Amazing Development in Medicine.
C.Wonderful Life in the Future. D.Great Changes in Electronic Products.

Smartphones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have nicer cameras, but they are basically no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping, and working for something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. At the moment, the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a huge operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may not happen. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is called AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. We’ve used it a lot on our video call. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio (空间音频). This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high end earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So, why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far, no one has invented a good way to send images (影像) of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
1.According to the passage, what might be the new invention that will change our lives?

A.Bored. B.Uncertain. C.Satisfied. D.Confident.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Different ways to use smartphones.
B.Smart glasses will be used in industry.
C.Smart glasses will greatly change our lives.
D.Why can’t we wear smart glasses at present?

What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely, but here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10—30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic (仿生的) Eyes
They are no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use WeChat Pay or Alipay to shop. Money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You could even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driver-less cars would be widely accepted.
1.Where do bionic eyes send information to?
A.Mind. B.Camera. C.Computer.
2.Which of the following ways of payment is not mentioned in this passage?
A.Credit cards. B.WeChat Pay. C.Alipay.
3.From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A.industry and farming B.traffic and journey C.science and technology
4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films.
B.The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
C.Self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside.

Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small credit card (信用卡). We will use it instead of money to buy all the things. Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards. Someone may even make a card that looks like our cards. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit cards may be no better than money.
Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint (拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government (政府) will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will possess one. Everyone’s thumbprints will be in the computer. It will be difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.

You ask your kitchen instead: “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” The kitchen looks at the food you have available. Then, a list of good breakfast choices appears on its screen for you.
“Are you ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. You remind them that long ago, in 2005, only trained astronauts went to space. Now, ordinary people can go for fun vacations! You hand each child three strawberries. “The doctor said you need these for your space travel,” you explain. Medicine has improved so much. Doctors can put special medicine right into normal foods like these berries. The kids put the strawberries into their mouths and head for the door.
Now it’s your turn to go to work. Your car scans (扫描) your fingerprint and unlocks. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. The car drives itself smoothly onto the road and joins the traffic on the highway. You sit back, relax, and open your electronic newspaper. The latest news downloads onto the screen right away. Instead of reading lots of words, you watch short video clips showing the news stories as you travel.
1.How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?
