B 语法填空 When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help 1 the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places. Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people 2 (do) such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get 3 (boring). Now scientists 4 (try) to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that 5 we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists 6 (agree) with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. Some scientists believe that there 7 (be) more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and 8 (other) might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This 9 (be) not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed 10 (possible) 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future! 七、语法选择 Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, 1 when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer. At first, he wrote plays for the theatre. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The 2 of this book encouraged him 3 more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth（1864）and From the Earth to the Moon（1865）. In the 19th century, many people were 4 in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and they were very popular. Verne’s writing included many predictions（预言）for the 5 century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, 6 long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and 7 made Verne rich. Jules Verne’s books 8 the subjects of many movies for many years. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a wonderful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is 9 famous movie based on one of Verne’s 10 . 1. A. and B. but C. or D. so 2.

Planet of the Apes shows a miserable future for humankind. There’s a word to 2 the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia, an imagined unpleasant or bad place. The 3 is utopia (乌托邦). But does tomorrow’s world have to be so disappointing? A new project wants to use the power of science fiction to show a better future. The aim of Project Hieroglyph is to 4 writers, scientists, engineers and artists to create optimistic stories about a harmonious society in the next 50 years. It’s 5 to create a dystopia than write a feel-good story. There’s more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting 6 there are a lot of problems to solve. No 7 , no story! But the project produced a book with some promising plots. One of them is about environmentalists who fight to 8 building the first hotel in the polar areas. But will these stories actually change anything or simply keep us entertained? A good science-fiction story can be mighty. It is clear to see that stories can inspire hundreds, thousands, millions of people to gather around something 9 they want to do. The influence of science fiction has already been well evaluated in modern research. Why are people working on invisibility clothes (隐形衣)? Well, it’s Harry Potter, right? Time will tell 10 we can go.

They were moving to Saturn since they had lived on Neptune long enough to know that this was not where they wanted their children to grow up. “Jimmy, get out of my room!” Mia shouted. “Come on, Mia. I’m done packing. Let me help!” Jimmy, her elder brother pleaded. Mia wondered why her annoying brother wanted to help her. But she finally gave him a blue bag. “You can take it downstairs.” Jimmy carried the bag over his shoulder, nearly falling over under the weight. “What’s in here? Rocks?” he asked. “Books,” Mia replied. “Dad told me that Mom had built us a spaceship. There’s plenty of space.” “Wow,” the children were amazed as they got on the spaceship. Soon, they were in space. The view was fantastic, but suddenly, they noticed a giant rock in their way. “Is that flying towards us?” Mia asked. “It’s an asteroid!” Tom shouted. “Everybody take cover!” Mia screamed as the giant rock hit the spaceship. Everything went dark. Mia opened her eyes. There’s a ringing in her ears. She saw her mother and brother lying beside. They were both still. Jimmy didn’t seem to breathe. Mia put her ear to his chest. “Thump.” She could hear Jimmy’s heart beat. She kept calling his name. Jimmy slowly opened his eyes. Mia hugged her brother closely. “I’m never letting go again.” she said. “My... leg...” Jimmy mumbled. Mia let go, apologizing. “Wow,” Jimmy replied. “That was fast. Didn’t expect you to break your promise that quick.” Mia rolled her eyes. Then she found Brianna awake. She and Jimmy moved towards her, helping her upright. “Where’s Tom?” Brianna asked. They heard a faint voice. “I am here.” Together, the family made their way to the planet’s surface. As they explored, Brianna fell into a hole. “Mom!” Mia shouted. “Are you okay?” “Come down here,” Brianna called. “What’s down there?” Tom asked. “Aliens,” Brianna replied. Everyone jumped down. Mia noticed a blue stone behind Jimmy. “Hello!” the stone said. “I’m Pebblo, and these are Stony and Gabbry.” Brianna laughed. “Pebblo, Stony, and Gabbry. Cute.” “Can we stay with you?” Mia asked. “Just until we find our way to Saturn,” Tom added. The Rock Aliens huddled in a group and discussed for a while. Then Pebblo walked over and hugged Jimmy’s good leg. “We’ve got new roommates!” she laughed. 1. What kind of person is Mia according to the story? A. Mia is a shy girl with a hobby of reading. B.

The family would build a house for the aliens. C. The family would stay on the planet for some time. D. The family would return to Neptune as soon as possible. B At first, I could hardly see anything. After moving down through dark, narrow caves, my eyes were not used to the light. But when I could focus again, I stood in surprise. “It’s a…sea,” I cried. “Yes. Axel,” my uncle said, “and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!” There was a great lake or even an ocean. The shore was covered with small shells where the first living beings lived. Around this sea stood a huge rock wall. I could see far over this great sea because of a strange light. Not sunlight, of course, as we were deep below the surface. With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric. We kept quiet inside a cave that must have been several miles high. Human words cannot describe the discoveries of those who have been deep into the earth. My imagination was powerless before such wonders. I felt surprised and quite scared at the same time. However, the soft salty air cheered me up. After many days in much narrower spaces, it was a great relief. “Ready to walk a little now?” asked my uncle. “Yes, certainly.” “Well, let us follow the shore then,” he said, and we began to explore. Soon, in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. “Mushrooms!” said my uncle. And he was right! There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high. How excellent they were! “Wonderful!” cried my uncle. “Now look under your feet.” I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked. Suddenly I thought, if once these monsters lived here, might some still walk through these dark forests? I looked around nervously, but we were the only living beings in this underworld. Thankfully! Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts. Where did this underground sea end? Where would we go? —Adapted from A Journey to the Centre of the Earth 1. Which of the following pictures can we add to the story? A. B. C. D. ​ 2. Which of the following describes things the same way as the underlined sentence? A. The boy was so hungry that he could eat a horse. B. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. C. The girl was as brave as a lion when facing problems. D. She sells special and stylish seashells by the seashore. 3. What is the RIGHT order of the story? Axel and his uncle saw many mushrooms. Axel slept with strange thoughts. Axel guessed that the light was electric. Axel’s uncle discovered a great sea. Axel and his uncle walked on the bones. A. B. C. D. 4. Why did Axel’s feelings change so many times during the journey? A. Because the underground world was too dark. B. Because he was unable to think in a clear way. C. Because he was so tired that he wanted to sleep. D. Because the journey was full of the unexpected. 阅读回答问题 At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars. It takes months. However, by 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! There is a problem for us to live on Mars. The gravity (地心引力) of Mars is much less than that of the Earth. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To avoid this problem, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. There will be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home that is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. First, food will not taste good. Meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable. 1. Why do people want to live on Mars? 2. How long might it take us to get to Mars in 500? 3. What special things will people need if they live on Mars? 4. Where will students study on Mars? 5. According to the last paragraph, how many disadvantages (缺点) of living on Mars are mentioned? $Unit 8 Imagine that!

These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and 8 (other) might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This 9 (be) not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed 10 (possible) 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future! 【答案】1. with 2. will do 3. bored 4. are trying 5. although/though 6. disagree 7. will be 8. others 9. was 10. impossible 【解析】本文主要介绍了机器人的现状和未来发展。 1. 句意：它们帮忙做家务，并从事在肮脏或危险场所工作的任务。help with sth.“帮忙做某事”。在此句中，空格后是名词短语the housework，因此需要使用help with这个搭配。故填with。 2. 句意：将来做这种工作的人会越来越少，因为它们很无聊，但机器人永远不会感到无聊。时间状语in the future，一般将来时的标志性时间状语，一般将来时的基本结构是will+动词原形。故填will do。 3. 句意：将来做这种工作的人会越来越少，因为它们很无聊，但机器人永远不会感到无聊。bored意为 “感到无聊的”，用来描述人或有感知的动物/机器人的感受。boring意为“令人感到无聊的”，用来描述事物的性质。此句的主语是robots，并且用了系动词get，表示机器人自身的感受，因此应该用bored。 故填bored。 4. 句意：现在，科学家们正试图让机器人看起来像人类，做和我们一样的事情。句子开头有时间状语Now，表示这个动作正在进行中。 现在进行时的基本结构是am/is/are + 动词的现在分词（V-ing）。主语Scientists是复数，因此用are。故填are trying。 5. 句意：然而，一些科学家认为，尽管我们能让机器人像人一样移动，但要让它们真正像人一样思考会很难。这个句子是一个主从复合句。主句是it will be difficult to...，从句是we can make robots move like people。两个分句之间存在明显的转折关系：“我们能让机器人像人一样移动”，但是“让它们真正像人一样思考会很难”。although或though是引导让步状语从句的连词，意为 “尽管，虽然”，正好符合此处的逻辑关系。故填although/though。 6. 句意：但是很多科学家不同意White先生的观点。根据“But”可知，很多科学家的观点与James White相反，即“不同意”他的观点。故填disagree。 7. 句意：一些科学家相信未来会有更多的机器人。句子中出现了时间状语in the future，因此需要使用there be句型的一般将来时。there be句型的一般将来时结构是there will be。故填will be。 8. 句意：一些会看起来像人类，另一些可能看起来像动物。空格后没有名词，且与前半句的Some相对应，形成Some... others... 的结构，用来列举不同的类别。故填others。 9. 句意：这在20年前是不可能的，但在100年前，计算机和火箭似乎也是不可能的。根据时间状语20 years ago可知，此处用一般过去时。主语This是单数第三人称，因此be动词的过去式应该用was。故填was。 10. 句意：这在20年前是不可能的，但在100年前，计算机和火箭似乎也是不可能的。根据上下文的逻辑和常识，电脑和火箭在 100年前对人们来说也是“不可能的”事情。故填impossible。 七、语法选择 Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction.

I’m done packing. Let me help!” Jimmy, her elder brother pleaded. Mia wondered why her annoying brother wanted to help her. But she finally gave him a blue bag. “You can take it downstairs.” Jimmy carried the bag over his shoulder, nearly falling over under the weight. “What’s in here? Rocks?” he asked. “Books,” Mia replied. “Dad told me that Mom had built us a spaceship. There’s plenty of space.” “Wow,” the children were amazed as they got on the spaceship.

After moving down through dark, narrow caves, my eyes were not used to the light. But when I could focus again, I stood in surprise. “It’s a…sea,” I cried. “Yes. Axel,” my uncle said, “and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!” There was a great lake or even an ocean. The shore was covered with small shells where the first living beings lived. Around this sea stood a huge rock wall. I could see far over this great sea because of a strange light. Not sunlight, of course, as we were deep below the surface. With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric. We kept quiet inside a cave that must have been several miles high. Human words cannot describe the discoveries of those who have been deep into the earth. My imagination was powerless before such wonders. I felt surprised and quite scared at the same time. However, the soft salty air cheered me up. After many days in much narrower spaces, it was a great relief. “Ready to walk a little now?” asked my uncle. “Yes, certainly.” “Well, let us follow the shore then,” he said, and we began to explore. Soon, in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. “Mushrooms!” said my uncle. And he was right! There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high. How excellent they were! “Wonderful!” cried my uncle. “Now look under your feet.” I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked. Suddenly I thought, if once these monsters lived here, might some still walk through these dark forests? I looked around nervously, but we were the only living beings in this underworld. Thankfully! Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts. Where did this underground sea end? Where would we go? —Adapted from A Journey to the Centre of the Earth 1. Which of the following pictures can we add to the story? A. B. C. D. ​ 2. Which of the following describes things the same way as the underlined sentence? A. The boy was so hungry that he could eat a horse. B. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. C. The girl was as brave as a lion when facing problems. D. She sells special and stylish seashells by the seashore. 3. What is the RIGHT order of the story? Axel and his uncle saw many mushrooms. Axel slept with strange thoughts. Axel guessed that the light was electric. Axel’s uncle discovered a great sea. Axel and his uncle walked on the bones. A. B. C. D. 4. Why did Axel’s feelings change so many times during the journey? A. Because the underground world was too dark. B. Because he was unable to think in a clear way. C. Because he was so tired that he wanted to sleep. D. Because the journey was full of the unexpected. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《地心游记》。作者随叔叔深入地底，先是适应了昏暗环境，随后发现了一片地下大海，以及巨大如伞的蘑菇森林和遍地的骨骼，种种意想不到的景象令人既惊叹又紧张，最后作者带着各样奇思进入睡眠。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Soon in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. ‘Mushrooms!’ said my uncle...There were mushrooms in their thousands, and each was at least nine metres high.”可知，作者和叔叔看到了成片巨大的蘑菇，与选项A中出现巨型蘑菇的图片相符。故选A。 2. 推理判断题。划线句“trees like umbrellas”使用了明喻（like）的修辞手法，把蘑菇树比作伞，结合选项可知，选项C“The girl was as brave as a lion when facing problems.”也用了明喻，把女孩比作狮子，和原句的修辞方式一致。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“‘Yes. Axel,’ my uncle said, ‘and I shall give it my name, as I discovered it!’”；“With its bright, clear whiteness, the light must have been electric.”；“Soon in front of us appeared a forest with trees like umbrellas. ‘Mushrooms!’ said my uncle.”；“I hadn’t noticed the many bones under our feet as we walked.”以及“Finally, we returned to the cave we had entered from, and I went to sleep with strange thoughts.”可知，正确顺序是：叔叔发现地下大海→Axel猜测那光是电光→他们看到巨大的蘑菇→他们走在骨骼上→Axel带着奇怪的想法入睡。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据文中描述，Axel先看不清事物，进入洞穴后又见到奇异的光、巨大的海、伞状蘑菇树、地下骨头等诸多意外景象，因此他感受不断变化的原因是地下世界充满了意想不到的景象。故选D。 阅读回答问题 At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars. It takes months. However, by 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! There is a problem for us to live on Mars. The gravity (地心引力) of Mars is much less than that of the Earth. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To avoid this problem, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. There will be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home that is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. First, food will not taste good. Meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable. 1. Why do people want to live on Mars? 2. How long might it take us to get to Mars in 500? 3. What special things will people need if they live on Mars? 4. Where will students study on Mars? 5. According to the last paragraph, how many disadvantages (缺点) of living on Mars are mentioned? 【答案】1. Because the Earth is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. 2. Two or three days. 3. Special shoes. 4. In online schools at home. 5. Two./2. 【解析】本文主要讲述了人们想要在500年居住在火星上的原因，以及火星上的一些生活情况。 1. 根据第一段“Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.”可知，人们想要在火星上生活是因为地球变得越来越拥挤和被污染。故填Because the earth is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. 2. 根据第二段“However, by 500, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!”可知，到500年，我们可能需要两到三天的时间到达火星。故填Two or three days. 3. 根据第三段“To avoid this problem, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.”可知，如果人们生活在火星上，他们需要特殊的鞋子。故填Special shoes. 4. 根据第四段“They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools.”可知，在火星上，学生们会在家里的网络学校学习。故填In online schools at home. 5. 根据最后一段“First, food will not taste good… Also, space travel will make many people feel ill.”可知，最后一段提到了两个火星生活的缺点，即食物不好吃和太空旅行会让人不舒服。故填Two./2. $
