2025-2026学年八年级下册英语自测卷 Unit 8·基础卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：110分） 一、单项选择。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 1. I could hear someone ________ at the door when I was reading. A. to knocking B. to knock C. knocking D. knocked 【答案】C 【解析】句意：我看书的时候，能听到有人在敲门。 “hear sb. doing sth.”表示“听到某人正在做某事”（强调动作正在进行）。句中“when I was reading”表明“敲门”这一动作与“看书”同时发生，是正在进行的动作，因此用knocking；选项to knocking；to knock；knocked均不符合语境。 2. The alien looks ________, and the children are ________. A. frightened; frightening B. frighten; frightening C. frightening; frightened D. frighten; frightened 【答案】C 【解析】句意：外星人看起来很吓人，孩子们很害怕。 考查形容词的用法。frightened感到害怕的，用来描述人的感觉；frightening令人害怕的，用来描述事物或者人本身具有的特点；frighten使害怕，动词。looks和are后接形容词作表语，第一空使用frightening，表示外星人看起来很吓人，第二空使用frightened，表示孩子们感到害怕。故选C。 3. My father refused ________ me a new copy of the book because he thought I should take good care of the old one. A. give B. to give C. giving D. given 【答案】B 【解析】句意：我父亲拒绝给我一本新书，因为他认为我应该好好保管旧的那本。 固定搭配“refuse to do sth.”意为“拒绝做某事”，后接动词不定式作宾语，因此选择“to give”。 4. Many teens are interested in traditional culture ________ they think it is meaningful. A. so B. or C. but D. because 【答案】 D 【解析】句意：许多青少年对传统文化感兴趣，因为他们认为它是有意义的。 so所以；or或者；but但是；because因为。根据前后句逻辑关系可知，后句“they think it is meaningful”是前句“Many teens are interested in traditional culture”的原因，应用表示原因的连词because。 5. She is the best choice for this job, ________ she has a lot of experience. A. however B. since C. while D. so 【答案】B 【解析】句意：她是这份工作的最佳人选，因为她有很多经验。 however然而；since因为；while当……时/然而；so所以。根据句意可知，后半句“她有很多经验”是前半句“她是最佳人选”的原因，since引导原因状语从句，符合逻辑。 二、语法选择(本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分) In the year 2099, every child on Earth had his or her own spacecraft.

No one knows the answer exactly (确切地),but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas. First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most of the work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and travelling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old. Second, cars will become very small and computers will control (控制) their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel. Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won’t be crowded or noisy. So there will be much more space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher. Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars (战争) in 50 years. 31. Jill White thinks that in 50 years robots will help to do the following things EXCEPT (除了) ________. A. looking after sick people B. driving cars C. teaching students D. doing the housework 32. Jill White thinks most people will travel ________ in 50 years. A. by bike B. by plane C. by train D. by car 33. According to Jill White, ________ in 50 years. A. every family will have a car B. people won’t need to work C. computers will control the cars’ speed D. the earth will become crowded and noisy 34. The underlined word “shortage” means “________” in Chinese. A. 短缺 B. 丰富 C. 清澈 D. 浑浊 35. This passage mainly tells ________ in 50 years. A. the schools B. the cars C. the robots D. people’s life 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Jill White对50年后未来生活的预测。 31. 第二段明确说明机器人会做的事：“People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students”，未提及机器人会开车。 32. 第三段第三句指出出行方式：“Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel”，可知大多数人将会乘坐飞机旅行。 33. 第三段第一句明确提到：“cars will become very small and computers will control their speed”，说明电脑会控制汽车的速度。 34. 最后一段说明：“water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars in 50 years”，结合“不节约用水会引发水战”的语境，可推知“shortage”意为“短缺”。 35. 首段第一句点明文章话题：“What will our life be like in 50 years?”，全文围绕50年后人们的生活展开介绍。 B Space travel used to be only for astronauts, but this will change in the future. With new technology, more people will have the chance to travel to space and even visit other planets. In the next 30 years, space tourism will become popular. Companies are developing reusable rockets that can reduce (降低) the cost of space travel. This means ordinary people may be able to take a short space trip for a reasonable price. During the trip, they will fly around the Earth, see the beautiful blue planet from space, and even experience weightlessness-floating like astronauts! Scientists also plan to build a lunar (月球的) base on the moon. This base will be a home for astronauts and scientists. They will live there to study the moon and do experiments. Later, it may become a stop for people traveling to Mars. The trip to Mars will take about six months, but it will be an amazing journey. People will live in special spaceships with all necessary things, like food, water, and exercise equipment. However, space travel also has some challenges. It can be dangerous because of radiation (辐射) and unexpected problems in space. Travelers will need to train hard to get used to the space environment. Also, we need to keep space clean-we shouldn’t leave trash in space. Despite these challenges, space travel is an exciting future dream. It will help us learn more about the universe and bring people closer to the stars. 36. Who could travel to space in the past? A. Astronauts B. Scientists only C. Ordinary people D. Company workers 37. What makes space travel cheaper for ordinary people? A. New spaceships B. Reusable rockets C. Lunar bases D. Space hotels 38. What will people NOT do during a short space trip? A. Fly around the Earth B. See the Earth from space C. Build a lunar base D. Experience weightlessness 39. What is a challenge of space travel? A. It’s too boring B. Radiation and unexpected problems C. There’s no food in space D. The trip is too short 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to build a lunar base on the moon B. How to solve the challenges of space travel C. What people can do during a short space trip D. The development and challenges of future space travel 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. B 40. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了未来太空旅游的发展前景、相关计划及其面临的挑战。 36. 文章第一句明确提到“Space travel used to be only for astronauts”，说明过去只有宇航员能够进行太空旅行。因此选Astronauts。 37. 文章第二段第二句指出“Companies are developing reusable rockets that can reduce the cost of space travel”，说明可重复使用的火箭能够降低成本，使普通人有可能负担太空旅行。因此选Reusable rockets。 38. 文章第二段描述了短途太空旅行的内容：绕地球飞行、从太空看地球、体验失重。而“建造月球基地”是第三段提到的科学家未来的计划，并非短途太空旅行中游客会做的事情。因此选Build a lunar base。 39. 文章第四段提到“It can be dangerous because of radiation and unexpected problems in space”，明确指出辐射和太空中的意外问题是太空旅行的挑战。因此选Radiation and unexpected problems。 40. 文章前两段讲述太空旅游的发展（可重复火箭、月球基地、火星旅行），后两段讨论面临的挑战（辐射、训练、太空垃圾），最后总结未来前景。全文围绕未来太空旅行的发展与挑战展开。因此选The development and challenges of future space travel。 C Now, more restaurants are starting to use robots to serve food. Some people think this is a great idea for the future. Others think it is a bad idea because robots might take jobs from people. Should robots work in restaurants? This is an interesting topic on both sides. Some people say robots should work in restaurants. First, they can help when it is hard to find enough workers. Second, they are fun and interesting, so they can attract more customers. Also, robots can do simple jobs like carrying plates, so human workers have more time to talk to customers and make them feel welcome. However, other people think robots should not work in restaurants. They believe eating out is about friendly service from a person, not a machine. Also, robots can be expensive and sometimes break down. If a robot stops working during a busy meal, it could cause problems. Most importantly,people need jobs, and robots might replace them. Maybe the best way is that robots and humans work together. Robots can do the simple, repetitive (重复的) jobs. Humans can do what they are good at: smile, talk, and make customers happy. This way, restaurants can be both modern and warm. The future might be about teamwork between people and machines. 41. What is one reason that some people agree to use robots in restaurants? A. Robots never break down. B. Robots can attract more customers. C. Robots are better at talking to people. D. Robots are always cheaper than humans. 42. What simple jobs can robots do in restaurants? A. Cooking meals. B. Talking to customers. C. Carrying plates. D. Managing the restaurant. 43. What is the meaning of the underlined word “attract”? A. 招待 B. 依赖 C. 描述 D. 吸引 44. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. ①②//③④ B. ①//②③//④ C. ①②//③//④ D. ①//②//③④ 45. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Should robots work in restaurants? B. Will robots take the place of people? C. Are robots fun and interesting? D. Are robots more useful than people? 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了机器人是否应该在餐厅工作这一话题。文章先引出该话题，接着分别阐述了支持机器人在餐厅工作的人的观点、反对机器人在餐厅工作的人的观点，最后提出也许机器人和人类共同工作是最佳方式，并展望了未来人机协作的前景。 41. 第二段提到“Second, they are fun and interesting, so they can attract more customers”，这直接说明一些人同意在餐厅使用机器人的原因是机器人有趣且能吸引更多顾客。 42. 第二段指出“Also, robots can do simple jobs like carrying plates”，说明机器人在餐厅能做的简单工作是端盘子。 43. 根据“they are fun and interesting, so they can attract more customers”可知，机器人有趣且有趣，所以能带来更多顾客，由此可推测“attract”意思是“吸引”。 44. 第一段提出“Should robots work in restaurants? This is an interesting topic on both sides.”引出话题；第二、三段分别阐述了一些人认为机器人应该在餐厅工作的原因和另一些人认为机器人不应该在餐厅工作的原因；第四段提出也许机器人和人类共同工作是最佳方式。所以文章结构是①//②③//④。 45. 文章围绕机器人是否应该在餐厅工作展开讨论，A选项“机器人应该在餐厅工作吗？”符合文章主旨，可作为最佳标题。 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet (易捷航空) has made some predictions and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. 46 . Heartbeat passports (心跳护照) Paper passports will be a thing of the past. 47 . According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flights The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. 48 . There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A future device could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive at the hotel, you’ll find a wardrobe (衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. 49 . You can also 3D print the food you want to eat. 50 . If you like to visit places of interest, augmented reality (AR) will change the game. Wearing a headset (头戴式视图器),you can see what happened there, such as a famous war in the past. A. Bring history back to life B. Let’s take a look at some cool ideas C. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead D. It’s impossible for us to travel on the moon in the future E. It might even be able to cool or warm you to your preferred temperature F. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled (回收利用) and reprinted for the next person 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. E 49. F 50. A 【导语】本文是一篇关于未来旅行预测的说明文。易捷航空发布了《2070年未来旅行报告》，报告中对未来旅行提出了心跳护照、更舒适的航班、打印衣物和食物、让历史重现等一些很酷的设想。 46. 前文提到易捷航空发布了《2070年未来旅行报告》，B选项“Let’s take a look at some cool ideas”承接上文，引出下文对报告中一些未来旅行新奇想法的具体介绍，起到引出下文的作用，所以选B。 47. 前文说纸质护照将成为过去，C选项“You will use ‘heartbeat passports’ instead”与前文紧密相连，说明了代替纸质护照的是心跳护照，符合语境，所以选C。 48. 前文提到可以根据体型预订座位，E选项“It might even be able to cool or warm you to your preferred temperature”进一步阐述了未来飞机座位可能具备的功能，是对更舒适航班这一主题下座位相关内容的补充说明，所以选E。 49. 前文说到达酒店会发现有按自己尺寸打印的3D衣服，F选项“When you leave, the clothes can be recycled (回收利用) and reprinted for the next person”与前文关于打印衣服的内容相呼应，说明了衣服的后续处理方式，所以选F。 50. 后文提到如果喜欢参观名胜古迹，增强现实技术会改变体验，戴上头戴式视图器可以看到那里过去发生的事情，比如著名的战争，A选项“Bring history back to life”能够很好地概括这一部分内容，与后文紧密相关，所以选A。 第三节 信息匹配 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 上栏是五个人关于未来的预测，下栏是七条评论。请为每条预测匹配对应的评论。 51 In the future, we can grow food on tall vertical (垂直的) farms in cities, so we won’t need large fields in the countryside. 52 In twenty years, doctors will put tiny robots in our bodies to find and treat illnesses early. 53 In the future, clothes will be made of smart materials that can change color or keep us cool or warm according to the weather. 54 People won’t need to carry phones or wallets anymore, because everything will be connected to tiny cards in our bodies. 55 I’m worried many jobs will disappear in the future, as robots and computers will do most work. A. That sounds exciting! We could wear the same clothes all year and feel comfortable whatever the weather. Smart clothing would save us money and make life simpler. B. Travelling so fast would be great! We could visit friends in other cities anytime without spending hours on the road. We’d have more time with loved ones and to explore new places. C. If that happens, many people may lose jobs, which is hard for families and communities. We should learn new skills now to get used to different jobs later. D. That’s very helpful to people far from hospitals. Early treatment saves lives and helps people get better faster. It’s a great way to use science to help others. E. I’m not sure about that idea. Putting things in our bodies might be unsafe, and we could lose control of personal information. We should find safer ways to make life easier. F. How amazing! This way of growing food is better for the environment — it uses less water and land. It also makes healthy food cheaper. G. There may be new ways to help people understand pets’ thoughts in the future. This would bring people and animals closer and help us care for them better. 【答案】51. F 52. D 53. A 54. E 55.

I don’t ________ ________ your opinion. 【答案】 agree with 【解析】根据中英文对照，空格处缺“同意”，“agree with”是固定短语，意为“同意”，符合“我不同意你的观点”的表达需求。故填agree；with。 73. 他们在恐惧中逃跑了，因为那个怪物看起来很丑陋。 They ran away ________ ________ because the monster looked ugly. 【答案】 in fear 【解析】原句中“在恐惧中”是关键词，对应的英文固定短语是in fear，故填in；fear。 74. 当看到终点线时，赛跑者加速了。 The runner ________ ________ when he saw the finish line. 【答案】 speeded/sped up 【解析】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少“加速”，对应speed up，是动词短语；根据“saw”可知，时态为一般过去时，speed的过去式是speeded/sped。故填speeded/sped；up。 75. 突然一阵风，桌上的试卷被刮得飞向四面八方。 The papers on the desk were flying ________ ________ ________ because of a sudden wind. 【答案】 in all directions 【解析】考查介词短语。根据汉语提示，空缺处应填“四面八方”，对应短语为“in all directions”，修饰谓语were flying，故填in all directions。 八、书面表达。(共15分) 时代的车轮滚滚向前，科技的浪潮也在不断推动我们前进。我们未来的生活会变成什么样子呢？假如你们学校英语俱乐部开展了以“What Will Our Future Be Like”为题的征文比赛。请你根据下面要点信息，并合理发挥想象，写一篇英语短文,参加比赛。 要点： 1. 机器人广泛使用； 2. 住房发生改变； 3. …… 注意: 1. 短文须包含上述要点，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2. 文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3. 词数 80～100 (首句已为你写好，不计入总词数) 。 What Will Our Future Be Like Our future will be very different from the present.

By that time, what will technologies look like, and what 21 will they bring to classrooms? Here are some examples of what we may see in schools in the coming years. Interactive walls (互动墙) In traditional classrooms, teachers write on 22 . But in 23 classrooms, teachers will write all the important points on interactive walls. The difference is that interactive walls can also 24 what students have written on their own desks. It can encourage them to take part in classroom activities and to become more 25 in their learning. Holograms (全息图) What does the inside of a planet look like? Most of us learn about this from 26 in books. But it is hard to imagine and to understand a planet only through the use of flat pictures. Students in the future are likely to have a very different 27 . With the help of holographic technology (全息技术), they can learn from 3-D image (三维图像) that are projected inside of the classroom. It will help them get a 28 impression. Virtual reality (虚拟现实) Virtual reality has been used to teach pilots 29 to fly planes. In 2040, it may provide students with immersive scenes (沉浸式场景) to learn the skills. For another example, when they learn about an ancient queen, they will be able to “walk” in her castle.

No one knows the answer exactly (确切地),but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas. First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most of the work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and travelling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old. Second, cars will become very small and computers will control (控制) their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel. Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won’t be crowded or noisy. So there will be much more space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher. Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars (战争) in 50 years. 31. Jill White thinks that in 50 years robots will help to do the following things EXCEPT (除了) ________. A. looking after sick people B. driving cars C. teaching students D. doing the housework 32. Jill White thinks most people will travel ________ in 50 years. A. by bike B. by plane C. by train D. by car 33. According to Jill White, ________ in 50 years. A. every family will have a car B. people won’t need to work C. computers will control the cars’ speed D. the earth will become crowded and noisy 34. The underlined word “shortage” means “________” in Chinese. A. 短缺 B. 丰富 C. 清澈 D. 浑浊 35. This passage mainly tells ________ in 50 years. A. the schools B. the cars C. the robots D. people’s life B Space travel used to be only for astronauts, but this will change in the future. With new technology, more people will have the chance to travel to space and even visit other planets. In the next 30 years, space tourism will become popular. Companies are developing reusable rockets that can reduce (降低) the cost of space travel. This means ordinary people may be able to take a short space trip for a reasonable price. During the trip, they will fly around the Earth, see the beautiful blue planet from space, and even experience weightlessness-floating like astronauts! Scientists also plan to build a lunar (月球的) base on the moon. This base will be a home for astronauts and scientists. They will live there to study the moon and do experiments. Later, it may become a stop for people traveling to Mars. The trip to Mars will take about six months, but it will be an amazing journey. People will live in special spaceships with all necessary things, like food, water, and exercise equipment. However, space travel also has some challenges. It can be dangerous because of radiation (辐射) and unexpected problems in space. Travelers will need to train hard to get used to the space environment. Also, we need to keep space clean-we shouldn’t leave trash in space. Despite these challenges, space travel is an exciting future dream. It will help us learn more about the universe and bring people closer to the stars. 36. Who could travel to space in the past? A. Astronauts B. Scientists only C. Ordinary people D. Company workers 37. What makes space travel cheaper for ordinary people? A. New spaceships B. Reusable rockets C. Lunar bases D. Space hotels 38. What will people NOT do during a short space trip? A. Fly around the Earth B. See the Earth from space C. Build a lunar base D. Experience weightlessness 39. What is a challenge of space travel? A. It’s too boring B. Radiation and unexpected problems C. There’s no food in space D. The trip is too short 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to build a lunar base on the moon B. How to solve the challenges of space travel C. What people can do during a short space trip D. The development and challenges of future space travel C Now, more restaurants are starting to use robots to serve food. Some people think this is a great idea for the future. Others think it is a bad idea because robots might take jobs from people. Should robots work in restaurants? This is an interesting topic on both sides. Some people say robots should work in restaurants. First, they can help when it is hard to find enough workers. Second, they are fun and interesting, so they can attract more customers. Also, robots can do simple jobs like carrying plates, so human workers have more time to talk to customers and make them feel welcome. However, other people think robots should not work in restaurants. They believe eating out is about friendly service from a person, not a machine. Also, robots can be expensive and sometimes break down. If a robot stops working during a busy meal, it could cause problems. Most importantly,people need jobs, and robots might replace them. Maybe the best way is that robots and humans work together. Robots can do the simple, repetitive (重复的) jobs. Humans can do what they are good at: smile, talk, and make customers happy. This way, restaurants can be both modern and warm. The future might be about teamwork between people and machines. 41. What is one reason that some people agree to use robots in restaurants? A. Robots never break down. B. Robots can attract more customers. C. Robots are better at talking to people. D. Robots are always cheaper than humans. 42. What simple jobs can robots do in restaurants? A. Cooking meals. B. Talking to customers. C. Carrying plates. D. Managing the restaurant. 43. What is the meaning of the underlined word “attract”? A. 招待 B. 依赖 C. 描述 D. 吸引 44. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. ①②//③④ B. ①//②③//④ C. ①②//③//④ D. ①//②//③④ 45. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Should robots work in restaurants? B. Will robots take the place of people? C. Are robots fun and interesting? D. Are robots more useful than people? 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet (易捷航空) has made some predictions and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. 46 . Heartbeat passports (心跳护照) Paper passports will be a thing of the past. 47 . According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flights The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. 48 . There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A future device could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive at the hotel, you’ll find a wardrobe (衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. 49 . You can also 3D print the food you want to eat. 50 . If you like to visit places of interest, augmented reality (AR) will change the game. Wearing a headset (头戴式视图器),you can see what happened there, such as a famous war in the past. A. Bring history back to life B. Let’s take a look at some cool ideas C. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead D. It’s impossible for us to travel on the moon in the future E. It might even be able to cool or warm you to your preferred temperature F. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled (回收利用) and reprinted for the next person 第三节 信息匹配 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 上栏是五个人关于未来的预测，下栏是七条评论。请为每条预测匹配对应的评论。 51 In the future, we can grow food on tall vertical (垂直的) farms in cities, so we won’t need large fields in the countryside. 52 In twenty years, doctors will put tiny robots in our bodies to find and treat illnesses early. 53 In the future, clothes will be made of smart materials that can change color or keep us cool or warm according to the weather. 54 People won’t need to carry phones or wallets anymore, because everything will be connected to tiny cards in our bodies. 55 I’m worried many jobs will disappear in the future, as robots and computers will do most work. A. That sounds exciting! We could wear the same clothes all year and feel comfortable whatever the weather. Smart clothing would save us money and make life simpler. B. Travelling so fast would be great! We could visit friends in other cities anytime without spending hours on the road. We’d have more time with loved ones and to explore new places. C. If that happens, many people may lose jobs, which is hard for families and communities. We should learn new skills now to get used to different jobs later. D. That’s very helpful to people far from hospitals. Early treatment saves lives and helps people get better faster. It’s a great way to use science to help others. E. I’m not sure about that idea. Putting things in our bodies might be unsafe, and we could lose control of personal information. We should find safer ways to make life easier. F. How amazing! This way of growing food is better for the environment — it uses less water and land. It also makes healthy food cheaper. G. There may be new ways to help people understand pets’ thoughts in the future. This would bring people and animals closer and help us care for them better. 五、语篇填词(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) Last night, something strange happened to me and made me really f 56 .

When I got near the community gate, I saw two men a 59 loudly with each other. They shouted angrily and acted like c 60 people. I dared not walk past them and hid behind a big tree. I worried they might notice me and do something bad. I kept telling myself to stay calm and not run suddenly. After a few minutes, the two men left separately. I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed home quickly. From this experience, I learn that we should stay away from strange people and keep safe when we go out alone at night. It’s important to protect ourselves all the time. 六、语法填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 In the future, our lives will be very different.

By that time, what will technologies look like, and what 21 will they bring to classrooms? Here are some examples of what we may see in schools in the coming years. Interactive walls (互动墙) In traditional classrooms, teachers write on 22 . But in 23 classrooms, teachers will write all the important points on interactive walls. The difference is that interactive walls can also 24 what students have written on their own desks. It can encourage them to take part in classroom activities and to become more 25 in their learning. Holograms (全息图) What does the inside of a planet look like? Most of us learn about this from 26 in books. But it is hard to imagine and to understand a planet only through the use of flat pictures. Students in the future are likely to have a very different 27 . With the help of holographic technology (全息技术), they can learn from 3-D image (三维图像) that are projected inside of the classroom. It will help them get a 28 impression. Virtual reality (虚拟现实) Virtual reality has been used to teach pilots 29 to fly planes. In 2040, it may provide students with immersive scenes (沉浸式场景) to learn the skills. For another example, when they learn about an ancient queen, they will be able to “walk” in her castle.

No one knows the answer exactly (确切地),but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas. First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most of the work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and travelling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old. Second, cars will become very small and computers will control (控制) their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel. Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won’t be crowded or noisy. So there will be much more space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher. Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars (战争) in 50 years. 31. Jill White thinks that in 50 years robots will help to do the following things EXCEPT (除了) ________. A. looking after sick people B. driving cars C. teaching students D. doing the housework 32. Jill White thinks most people will travel ________ in 50 years. A. by bike B. by plane C. by train D. by car 33. According to Jill White, ________ in 50 years. A. every family will have a car B. people won’t need to work C. computers will control the cars’ speed D. the earth will become crowded and noisy 34. The underlined word “shortage” means “________” in Chinese. A. 短缺 B. 丰富 C. 清澈 D. 浑浊 35. This passage mainly tells ________ in 50 years. A. the schools B. the cars C. the robots D. people’s life B Space travel used to be only for astronauts, but this will change in the future. With new technology, more people will have the chance to travel to space and even visit other planets. In the next 30 years, space tourism will become popular. Companies are developing reusable rockets that can reduce (降低) the cost of space travel. This means ordinary people may be able to take a short space trip for a reasonable price. During the trip, they will fly around the Earth, see the beautiful blue planet from space, and even experience weightlessness-floating like astronauts! Scientists also plan to build a lunar (月球的) base on the moon. This base will be a home for astronauts and scientists. They will live there to study the moon and do experiments. Later, it may become a stop for people traveling to Mars. The trip to Mars will take about six months, but it will be an amazing journey. People will live in special spaceships with all necessary things, like food, water, and exercise equipment. However, space travel also has some challenges. It can be dangerous because of radiation (辐射) and unexpected problems in space. Travelers will need to train hard to get used to the space environment. Also, we need to keep space clean-we shouldn’t leave trash in space. Despite these challenges, space travel is an exciting future dream. It will help us learn more about the universe and bring people closer to the stars. 36. Who could travel to space in the past? A. Astronauts B. Scientists only C. Ordinary people D. Company workers 37. What makes space travel cheaper for ordinary people? A. New spaceships B. Reusable rockets C. Lunar bases D. Space hotels 38. What will people NOT do during a short space trip? A. Fly around the Earth B. See the Earth from space C. Build a lunar base D. Experience weightlessness 39. What is a challenge of space travel? A. It’s too boring B. Radiation and unexpected problems C. There’s no food in space D. The trip is too short 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to build a lunar base on the moon B. How to solve the challenges of space travel C. What people can do during a short space trip D. The development and challenges of future space travel C Now, more restaurants are starting to use robots to serve food. Some people think this is a great idea for the future. Others think it is a bad idea because robots might take jobs from people. Should robots work in restaurants? This is an interesting topic on both sides. Some people say robots should work in restaurants. First, they can help when it is hard to find enough workers. Second, they are fun and interesting, so they can attract more customers. Also, robots can do simple jobs like carrying plates, so human workers have more time to talk to customers and make them feel welcome. However, other people think robots should not work in restaurants. They believe eating out is about friendly service from a person, not a machine. Also, robots can be expensive and sometimes break down. If a robot stops working during a busy meal, it could cause problems. Most importantly,people need jobs, and robots might replace them. Maybe the best way is that robots and humans work together. Robots can do the simple, repetitive (重复的) jobs. Humans can do what they are good at: smile, talk, and make customers happy. This way, restaurants can be both modern and warm. The future might be about teamwork between people and machines. 41. What is one reason that some people agree to use robots in restaurants? A. Robots never break down. B. Robots can attract more customers. C. Robots are better at talking to people. D. Robots are always cheaper than humans. 42. What simple jobs can robots do in restaurants? A. Cooking meals. B. Talking to customers. C. Carrying plates. D. Managing the restaurant. 43. What is the meaning of the underlined word “attract”? A. 招待 B. 依赖 C. 描述 D. 吸引 44. What’s the best structure of the passage? A. ①②//③④ B. ①//②③//④ C. ①②//③//④ D. ①//②//③④ 45. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Should robots work in restaurants? B. Will robots take the place of people? C. Are robots fun and interesting? D. Are robots more useful than people? 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet (易捷航空) has made some predictions and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. 46 . Heartbeat passports (心跳护照) Paper passports will be a thing of the past. 47 . According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flights The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. 48 . There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A future device could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive at the hotel, you’ll find a wardrobe (衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. 49 . You can also 3D print the food you want to eat. 50 . If you like to visit places of interest, augmented reality (AR) will change the game. Wearing a headset (头戴式视图器),you can see what happened there, such as a famous war in the past. A. Bring history back to life B. Let’s take a look at some cool ideas C. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead D. It’s impossible for us to travel on the moon in the future E. It might even be able to cool or warm you to your preferred temperature F. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled (回收利用) and reprinted for the next person 第三节 信息匹配 (本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 上栏是五个人关于未来的预测，下栏是七条评论。请为每条预测匹配对应的评论。 51 In the future, we can grow food on tall vertical (垂直的) farms in cities, so we won’t need large fields in the countryside. 52 In twenty years, doctors will put tiny robots in our bodies to find and treat illnesses early. 53 In the future, clothes will be made of smart materials that can change color or keep us cool or warm according to the weather. 54 People won’t need to carry phones or wallets anymore, because everything will be connected to tiny cards in our bodies. 55 I’m worried many jobs will disappear in the future, as robots and computers will do most work. A. That sounds exciting! We could wear the same clothes all year and feel comfortable whatever the weather. Smart clothing would save us money and make life simpler. B. Travelling so fast would be great! We could visit friends in other cities anytime without spending hours on the road. We’d have more time with loved ones and to explore new places. C. If that happens, many people may lose jobs, which is hard for families and communities. We should learn new skills now to get used to different jobs later. D. That’s very helpful to people far from hospitals. Early treatment saves lives and helps people get better faster. It’s a great way to use science to help others. E. I’m not sure about that idea. Putting things in our bodies might be unsafe, and we could lose control of personal information. We should find safer ways to make life easier. F. How amazing! This way of growing food is better for the environment — it uses less water and land. It also makes healthy food cheaper. G. There may be new ways to help people understand pets’ thoughts in the future. This would bring people and animals closer and help us care for them better. 五、语篇填词(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) Last night, something strange happened to me and made me really f 56 .

When I got near the community gate, I saw two men a 59 loudly with each other. They shouted angrily and acted like c 60 people. I dared not walk past them and hid behind a big tree. I worried they might notice me and do something bad. I kept telling myself to stay calm and not run suddenly. After a few minutes, the two men left separately.
