人教版(2024)八年级英语Unit 7 When Tomorrow Comes 测试题
一、阅读理解
A
(1) These days, a growing number of robots are invented to meet different needs and challengers, from doing difficult tasks in factories to providing support at home or school.
(2) Have you imagined a robot that can dance with you? Some educational robots can do that and they offer help on learning and problem---solving. In classrooms, these robots encourage students and bring them fun. At home, they can be the helpers for the students to improve creativity. For example, an NAO robot is a human--like robot with a cute face and two feet. It’s about two feet tall and can talk, move , and even dance. It helps students learn languages and programming.
(3) Some companion(陪伴) robots are able to help your grandparents live more happily. Among them, the robot named The Five should be one of the most excellent companion robots.

It can help the elderly with many tasks including getting up , walking and carrying heavy objects. Although it hasn’t been widely used yet, it has already been tested successfully in a nursing home. There is no doubt that The Five can bring much convenience (便利) to our life.
(4) However, there is still something robots can’t do. For example, they don’t have human feelings or creativity. Unable to think independently, they can only follow programmed instructions . Also, they are usually expensive to produce.
(5) As modern technology improves, robots will become more intelligent in the near future, and people will live an easier and more comfortable life.

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 say. “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 course, we won’t even need pilots.
There 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?

五、阅读表达
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
