Super-speed flights and space elevators have 1 old airplanes, but I still enjoy floating in the morning breeze. Within 10 minutes, I land 2 on the glass ground of Future Tower. “The security check is complete,” a robot voice says. My friend Mia waves, her jetpack rockets cooling down. “ 3 you want to visit Mars City, just ask!” she laughs. We both know it’s 4 that our parents would let us risk interplanetary (行星间的) journeys alone. A．Living    B．reminds       C． affects     D．figure out  E. impacts Suddenly, a silver figure appears! An alien visitor from Alpha Centauri (半人马座阿尔法星)! Its translator explains: “We come in peace.” Our teacher 5 us aliens first contacted humans in 2085, creating big 6 on technology. After school, I use my smartwatch to 7 the fastest route home. Time travel remains impossible unless scientists solve safety issues, but I’m certain our future holds more wonders. As I rise above the towering buildings, I smile. 8 in this amazing world never gets boring! 三、完形填空 Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Picture this: You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. The 1 is the perfect temperature. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s a rainy day. You live 2 , but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door. How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life! APPLIANCES THAT TALK Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Appliances will 3 each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Fridges will suggest the menu and recipes based on food items you already have. HOUSES THAT THINK Are you tired of the 4 or pattern of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. This technology controls your entire house. Your house can learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. 5 , it will set the heat in the house to your favourite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right heat. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up. ROBOTS THAT 46 But how about your cooked breakfast, and the umbrella and hat you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots. Sociable robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile, frown and make eye contact. These robots will do work around the house. Hopefully they will even take care of children and the elderly. How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in the next 10 years, perhaps sooner. 1．A．body B．weather C．food D．water 2．A．excitedly B．alone C．happily D．quietly 3．A．play with B．deal with C．get along with D．communicate with 4．A．size B．colour C．height D．heating 5．A．For example B．What’s more C．After all D．In short 6．A．HELP B．SPEAK C．FEEL D．FLY Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them? These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It’s sad, because people will lose most of their social skills like the 1 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 2 . If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourite books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a shower. I think the number of people on the planet will continue to increase. There will be less space, so we’ll need to 3 the way we live. Maybe we’ll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It’s horrible! Life will definitely get 4 than it is now. Our house might be 5 in the future. If there’s an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we’ll never feel too hot or too cold. Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it’ll be a good and safe thing, because we won’t have so many road 6 . Maybe we will stop using petrol, too. That would be good. 1．A．attitude B．ability C．possibility D．decision 2．A．directly B．extremely C．surprisingly D．completely 3．A．change B．lose C．miss D．figure 4．A．better B．worse C．more amazing D．less interesting 5．A．positive B．scientific C．smart D．perfect 6．A．cars B．traffic C．complaints D．accidents 四、语法选择 In some science fiction movies, the robots are just like humans. They are much 1 than humans at doing their jobs. Some scientists believe that there will be such a kind of robot in the future. 2 , they agree it needs time to make it come true. It may take 3 years. With the fast development of science and technology, some scientists believe that robots will be able 4 to people in 25 to 50 years. In addition, some of the robots may be able to do as many things 5 people can at that time. In the near future, there will be more robots everywhere, and humans will have much 6 work to do. New robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and 7 might look like snakes. After an earthquake (地震), a snake robot can help 8 people under buildings. That may not seem (似乎) possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a few thousand years ago. 9 knows what the world will be like in the future. Are you looking forward to 10 in a world with robots? 1．A．good B．well C．better D．best 2．A．But B．So C．However D．While 3．A．hundreds of B．a hundred of C．hundreds D．hundred 4．A．talk B．talking C．to talk D．to talking 5．A．like B．as C．to D．for 6．A．little B．less C．few D．fewer 7．A．another B．the others C．other D．others 8．A．look up B．look for C．look at D．look down 9．A．Everybody B．Anybody C．Somebody D．Nobody 10．A．live B．lives C．living D．lived 五、阅读理解 What will people be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that they will be different from what they are today, for people are slowly changing all the time. Now look at the chart below, and you’ll find some differences. Body part Changes Reasons Height Grow taller About 3 inches taller than 5,000 years ago Head Larger People use brains more and more Eyes Grow stronger People pay attention to protecting eyes Arms and legs Grow weaker Used less Fingers Grow more sensitive (灵敏的) Used a great deal in modern life Hair Disappear Does not serve a useful purpose any longer Perhaps all this gives the impression that future people will not be a very attractive creature (生物) to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future people will still have a lot in common with us. They will still be human beings, with thoughts and emotions (情感) similar to ours. 1．The height of people will ________ in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now. A．grow shorter B．steady C．grow taller D．disappear 2．The reason for believing that future people will be different is that people ________. A．began to change five hundred years ago B．never stop changing C．stop changing D．have recently begun to change 3．People’s heads will grow larger. This is because their brains will ________. A．grow faster than at present B．not be used C．play an important part D．be used more and more 4．People use fingers a great deal in modern life, so in the future people’s fingers will grow ________. A．shorter B．thicker C．longer D．more sensitive 5．Future people’s hair will ________. A．grow darker B．disappear C．stop growing completely D．grow longer 6．Future people will probably ________. A．have stronger eyes B．have weaker eyes C．have one eye D．have to wear better glasses 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 house 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” of the house is deep under the ground so that it can control the home’s temperature. The lizard (蜥蜴) house Like a lizard, changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. Meals at home The future of food production is taken as one part of the design of the building. Gardens may appear on the outside walls 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 can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 1．What is the primary goal of future house designs according to architects? A．To be as modern as possible. B．To improve technology. C．To be as green as possible. D．To look like traditional houses. 2．What is a main feature of the “tree house”? A．It has a swimming pool. B．It collects sunlight for energy. C．It is built entirely underground. D．It has walls made of glass. 3．How does the “lizard house” adapt (适应) to different weather conditions? A．It changes its shape. B．It changes its colour. C．It takes in light and heat. D．It has a green roof. 4．What kind of food can people grow on the walls of their future homes? A．Only fruits. B．Only vegetables. C．Tomatoes, carrots and green tea. D．Only green tea. 5．What ancient technique is mentioned as a way to reduce energy use? A．Using solar panels. B．Building houses underground C．Using chimneys as air conditioners. D．Creating green roofs. 6．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of future homes? A．A swimming pool with fish. B．Gardens on the walls. C．Energy-efficient designs. D．High-tech security systems. Text 1: Future City Transportation In the future city, transportation will be completely different. Self-driving cars will be the chief mode of transport, reducing the need for parking spaces and the number of traffic jams. High-speed trains will connect cities, making long-distance travel faster and more efficient. Additionally, electric bikes and scooters will be widely available for short trips, promoting a greener and healthier lifestyle. Text 2: Smart Homes and Energy Efficiency Future homes will be equipped with smart technology that improves energy efficiency. Solar panels will be a common feature, providing renewable energy to power homes. Smart thermostats will automatically adjust temperatures based on people’s habits, reducing energy waste. Waste management systems will recycle and compost most household waste, minimizing environmental impact. Text 3: Urban Green Spaces Green spaces will be an essential part of future cities. Vertical gardens and rooftop parks will be integrated into buildings, providing people with access to nature. These green spaces will not only improve air quality but also create a more pleasant living environment. Additionally, urban farms will produce fresh vegetables and fruit, reducing the need for imports and promoting local food production. Text 4: Digital Healthcare Healthcare in future cities will be highly digitalized. Telemedicine will allow people to consult doctors remotely via video calls. Wearable devices will monitor vital signs and alert medical professionals if any issues arise. AI-powered health apps will provide personalized health advice, making it easier for people to manage their health. Text 5: Education in the Future Education will be more flexible and personalized. Online learning platforms will offer a wide range of courses, allowing students to learn at their own pace. Virtual reality (VR) will be used to create immersive learning experiences, making subjects like history and science more engaging. Schools will also focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students for the challenges of the future. 1．What will be the primary mode of transportation in future cities?

I have not received a letter since I started using the email system. I read the letter carefully. The handwriting was familiar, but I was not sure who it was from. The letter told me many things I would do in the future. Here is what it said: Hi, Sarah, How are you? I miss you so much! I know you are not happy at the moment. Let me tell you something to cheer you up. Many unusual things will happen in the next 20 years. Though science is your least favourite subject, you will become better at it and even go on to study it at university. You’ll realise that you have an insatiable (无法满足的) desire for knowledge. After you finish university, you’ll travel abroad. Not only will you see many wonderful and unique places, you’ll also meet new friends from all over the world. Sometimes, you may be uncertain about your abilities, but you’ll become more confident in the future. Your family will continue to support you in everything you do. And some day, you’ll have a child of your own who you’ll love and support. I know that life can be difficult sometimes, but don’t lose heart! Try to remain positive in the face of difficulties. Believe in yourself. You can achieve much more than you imagine. I wish I could tell you more, but I have to stop here. Remember that the most important thing to do is to live every day as it happens. Don’t worry about the future and just live in the moment. While this letter was very unusual, the strangest part was at the very end. The signature was “Your Future Self”. Can you believe it? I have received a letter from the future. How far-fetched! 1．How did Sarah feel when she found a letter in the letter box? 2．What was familiar to Sarah? 3．What does the underlined word “it” mean? 4．What will happen in Sarah’s future life according to the letter? (Only choose the letters) a. get married b. love science c. study abroad d. go to university e. make friends with foreigners f. have heart problems 5．Sarah will not be a mother who loves and supports her child, will she? 6．Why did “Your Future Self” write to Sarah? One day, I fell asleep and had a strange dream. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the year 2150! The city was a wonderland of towering skyscrapers made of shiny, transparent (透明) materials that seemed to touch the clouds. Flying cars zoomed (急速上升) overhead, leaving trails of colorful lights. People were walking on the streets, wearing smart clothes that could change colors according to their moods. I decided to explore. First, I entered a restaurant. There were no waiters! Instead, robots glided smoothly, bringing delicious food made from lab-grown ingredients. The food was not only tasty but also extremely healthy. Then, I visited a school. Students were studying with holographic (全息图的) teachers. They could interact with 3D models of historical figures and faraway planets. It was like being in a real-life adventure while learning. In the afternoon, I met a friendly local named Alex. He showed me his home, which was a smart house. The walls could transform into different scenes, from a peaceful beach to a snowy mountain. The house could even recycle waste into energy. As the day ended, I woke up from my dream. Although it was just a dream, I couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing future I had experienced. I really hope some of these cool things will come true one day! 1．When did the author find himself in the year 2150? 2．What were the skyscrapers in the future city made of? 3．People were wearing smart clothes that could change colors according to their moods, weren’t they? 4．How were students studying in the future school? 5．What do you think of the life in the year 2150? Why? 七、书面表达 1．机器人将会给我们的生活带来巨大的变化，未来人们生活中的很多事情将由机器人完成，如：做一些家务、购物、做饭以及不出家门就可以看医生等。请以“The life in the future”为题, 写一篇不少于60词的短文，畅想一下未来有机器人的生活会是什么样子。作文开头已给出，不计入总词数。 The life in the future I think in the future there will be more and more robots in our daily lives. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．Imagine what your life will be like in 2095 and write a short passage with the title “One day in 2095”. 想象一下，2095年的生活会是怎么样的呢？请以“One day in 2095”为题写一篇短文，词数不少于80。提示：1.可展开合理想象； 2.可用一般现在时或一般将来时来记叙。 One day in 2095 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day in 2095    In 2095, life is completely different. When I wake up, my smart home system adjusts the room temperature and prepares breakfast using 3D food printing. My AI assistant reminds me of my schedule while a holographic screen displays the latest news.     I take a self-driving flying taxi to work, passing by vertical gardens and floating buildings. At the office, robots handle routine tasks, while humans focus on creative projects. For lunch, I eat lab-grown meat and vegetables cultivated in space farms.     After work, I relax in a virtual reality park or visit Mars via a space elevator. Before bed, a health drone checks my body and adjusts my sleep environment.

Your favourite breakfast is already cooked. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s a rainy day. You live 2 , but you find that your umbrella and hat are already by the door. How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life! APPLIANCES THAT TALK Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Appliances will 3 each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Fridges will suggest the menu and recipes based on food items you already have. HOUSES THAT THINK Are you tired of the 4 or pattern of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. This technology controls your entire house. Your house can learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. 5 , it will set the heat in the house to your favourite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right heat. It will also darken the windows at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up. ROBOTS THAT 46 But how about your cooked breakfast, and the umbrella and hat you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots. Sociable robots will be able to show feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile, frown and make eye contact. These robots will do work around the house.

These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time. And the number of offices will decrease. It’s sad, because people will lose most of their social skills like the 1 to connect to others. There won’t be any paper books in the future. They might disappear 2 . If you want to read books, you will have to download them to a portable e-reader. It will hold hundreds of your favourite books. Some e-readers might also be waterproof. So you can use them when you are having a bath or a shower. I think the number of people on the planet will continue to increase. There will be less space, so we’ll need to 3 the way we live. Maybe we’ll live underground, or maybe lots of people will live together in a single house. It’s horrible! Life will definitely get 4 than it is now. Our house might be 5 in the future. If there’s an emergency, it will automatically send a message to the police or call for an ambulance. Our house might also control the heating and the air-conditioning, so we’ll never feel too hot or too cold. Driverless cars are a new thing at the moment, but I think in the future it will be common to have one. I think it’ll be a good and safe thing, because we won’t have so many road 6 . Maybe we will stop using petrol, too.

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 house 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” of the house is deep under the ground so that it can control the home’s temperature. The lizard (蜥蜴) house Like a lizard, changing colour with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. Meals at home The future of food production is taken as one part of the design of the building. Gardens may appear on the outside walls 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 can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 1．What is the primary goal of future house designs according to architects? A．To be as modern as possible. B．To improve technology. C．To be as green as possible. D．To look like traditional houses. 2．What is a main feature of the “tree house”? A．It has a swimming pool. B．It collects sunlight for energy. C．It is built entirely underground. D．It has walls made of glass. 3．How does the “lizard house” adapt (适应) to different weather conditions? A．It changes its shape. B．It changes its colour. C．It takes in light and heat. D．It has a green roof. 4．What kind of food can people grow on the walls of their future homes? A．Only fruits. B．Only vegetables. C．Tomatoes, carrots and green tea. D．Only green tea. 5．What ancient technique is mentioned as a way to reduce energy use? A．Using solar panels. B．Building houses underground C．Using chimneys as air conditioners. D．Creating green roofs. 6．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of future homes? A．A swimming pool with fish. B．Gardens on the walls. C．Energy-efficient designs. D．High-tech security systems. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．C 6．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了未来的房子会是什么样子。 1．细节理解题。根据“The only thing for sure is that the house will be as green as possible.”可知，建筑师认为，未来房屋设计的主要目标是尽可能地保持绿色。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day.

It was strange! I have not received a letter since I started using the email system. I read the letter carefully. The handwriting was familiar, but I was not sure who it was from. The letter told me many things I would do in the future. Here is what it said: Hi, Sarah, How are you? I miss you so much! I know you are not happy at the moment. Let me tell you something to cheer you up. Many unusual things will happen in the next 20 years. Though science is your least favourite subject, you will become better at it and even go on to study it at university. You’ll realise that you have an insatiable (无法满足的) desire for knowledge. After you finish university, you’ll travel abroad. Not only will you see many wonderful and unique places, you’ll also meet new friends from all over the world. Sometimes, you may be uncertain about your abilities, but you’ll become more confident in the future. Your family will continue to support you in everything you do.

One day, I fell asleep and had a strange dream. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the year 2150! The city was a wonderland of towering skyscrapers made of shiny, transparent (透明) materials that seemed to touch the clouds. Flying cars zoomed (急速上升) overhead, leaving trails of colorful lights. People were walking on the streets, wearing smart clothes that could change colors according to their moods. I decided to explore. First, I entered a restaurant. There were no waiters! Instead, robots glided smoothly, bringing delicious food made from lab-grown ingredients. The food was not only tasty but also extremely healthy. Then, I visited a school. Students were studying with holographic (全息图的) teachers. They could interact with 3D models of historical figures and faraway planets. It was like being in a real-life adventure while learning. In the afternoon, I met a friendly local named Alex. He showed me his home, which was a smart house. The walls could transform into different scenes, from a peaceful beach to a snowy mountain. The house could even recycle waste into energy. As the day ended, I woke up from my dream. Although it was just a dream, I couldn’t stop thinking about the amazing future I had experienced.
