A team of academics and researchers predict underwater cities, personal drones (无人机) and giant skyscrapers by the year 2116. The team even predict that we will be vacationing on the moon or even on Mars just in 100 years. The team of academics include architects, futurists and speakers from the University of Westminster. A lot of the technology needed to do the things predicted is already here; it just needs to be scaled up and become more cost-effective. Experts say that due to the increase in population, humans will live in large urban centers consisting of super tall skyscrapers, taller than anything we have ever seen. Other than going up, the report suggests that there will be “earthscrapers” going as far as 25 stories underground. Meanwhile, they believe that there will be “bubble cities” that produce oxygen using the surrounding water. What’s more, drone technologies are predicted to grow at a rapid rate enabling the everyday man to travel anywhere he wants to go in his personal drone. The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology. Families will be able to download whatever meal they want from databases of popular chefs and restaurants. Then once you’re done with your 4-course 3D printed meal, you can have a large drone take your whole house to a vacation spot you like and have your dinner while enjoying the beautiful scenery. This may sound unbelievable, but given advances in modular design and large-scale affordable drones, these all may be in store. Keep in mind that all of these things are just predictions about the future from an independently contracted team, but we are facing an age of rapid development never seen before in human history and these predictions may end up being realized. Given all the recent advances in medicine, there’s a high likelihood that you may live to see 2116. Then why not see what you can do to help make the future come a little faster? 1. According to the report, what can future drones do? A. Get energy from the surrounding water. B. Create incredible scenery for users. C. Be owned by ordinary people. D. Serve meals to families. 2. In the future, which will greatly affect the food industry? A. 3D printing technology. B. Drone technologies. C. Popular databases. D. Communication tools. 3. What is the author’s attitude towards the predictions in the passage? A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Uninterested. 4. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Predictions About Future Life B. The Developments of New Technologies C. The Popularity of Drone Technologies D. Technologies’ Influence on Food and Buildings 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍研究团队对2116年未来生活的多项预测，包括居住方式、出行工具、食品技术等，并表达了作者对这些预测实现的积极态度。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“drone technologies are predicted to grow at a rapid rate enabling the everyday man to travel anywhere he wants to go in his personal drone(无人机技术预计将快速发展，让普通人能乘坐私人无人机去往任何想去的地方)”可知，未来普通人可拥有私人无人机。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology(报告还预测，3D打印技术将重塑食品行业)”可知，3D打印技术将极大影响食品行业。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“these predictions may end up being realized... why not see what you can do to help make the future come a little faster(这些预测最终可能会实现……为何不做点什么让未来来得更快些)”可推知，作者对这些预测持乐观、充满希望的态度。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A team of academics and researchers predict underwater cities, personal drones and giant skyscrapers by the year 2116(一组学者和研究人员预测，到2116年将出现水下城市、私人无人机和巨型摩天大楼)”及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕未来生活的各项预测展开。因此A项“Predictions About Future Life(关于未来生活的预测)”可作本文的最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___5___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air. ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___6___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.” Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___7___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there. ___8___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say. Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___9___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.” A. It’s the best souvenir option. B. It has become a popular vacation destination. C. Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history. D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation. E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine. F. The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website. G. This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though. 【答案】5. D 6. F 7. B 8. G 9. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了意大利科莫湖边小镇售卖罐装科莫湖空气作为纪念品的情况，还提到了其他类似罐装空气的产品以及科莫市市长对此的看法。 【5题详解】 根据上文“Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards.( 旅行者通常会在行李箱里塞满纪念品，比如冰箱贴、钥匙链和明信片。)” 可知，旅行者常带冰箱贴、钥匙链和明信片等纪念品，D选项These little items serve as reminders of their vacation.( 这些小物件能让他们想起自己的假期。)进一步说明了这些纪念品的作用，承接上文。故选D项。 【6题详解】 根据上文“ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each.( 通讯公司ItalyComunica正在出售一罐13.5盎司的“来自世界上最美丽湖泊的纯净空气”，每罐售价约为11美元（9.90欧元）。)”以及下文“They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website.( 它们有一个深蓝色的标签，上面有一艘船在水中巡航的插图。网站上写道：“当你需要逃离、宁静或单纯的美丽时，就打开它。”)”可知，这里是在介绍这种罐装空气作为纪念品的营销方式，F选项The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website.( 这些罐子在产品网站上被当作“奢华”的纪念品来营销。)起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选F项。 【7题详解】 根据上文“Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region.( 科莫湖位于阿尔卑斯山的山脚下，是意大利北部伦巴第地区的一大片水域。)” 以及下文“Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there.( 许多名人在附近地区拥有第二套住宅，许多电影都在那里拍摄。)”可知，科莫湖的地理位置以及很多名人在周边有第二居所且很多电影在此拍摄，说明它是一个受欢迎的度假胜地，B选项It has become a popular vacation destination.( 它已成为一个受欢迎的度假胜地。)起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合文意。故选B项。 【8题详解】 根据下文“Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim.( 聪明的商人几十年来一直在销售类似的产品。在山区城镇和其他高海拔地区，“罐装氧气”有时被推销为治疗高原反应的解药，尽管几乎没有科学证据支持这种说法。)”可知，这里是说售卖罐装空气不是第一次了，之前就有类似产品，G选项This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though.( 不过，这并不是罐装空气第一次被推销给游客。)符合语境，下文是对空格处内容的语意递进。故选G项。 【9题详解】 根据上文“Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds:( 科莫市长亚历山德罗•拉皮内斯（Alessandro Rapinese）表示，他宁愿度假者买丝巾或其他纪念品，因为该地区以丝巾闻名。然而，他补充道：)”可知，市长更希望游客买当地有名的丝巾或其他纪念品，但他也有补充说明，E选项If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine.( 如果有人想带一些空气回家，那也完全没问题。)符合市长的态度，传达了他接受空气这一选择的立场。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I’m standing on Rio’s beach, one of the most famous ____10____ of sand.

In general, preparing for new debate topics usually ____27____ (include) brainstorming arguments, researching a resolution, and doing debate practice.

As we discuss debate topics, my fellow debaters and I can talk about anything, from ____29____ best way of restoring eco-balance to the negative points of free immigration policies. However, our discussions are more than just a way ____30____ (practise) our debating skills. In my mind, they’re helping us to become calm and consider ____31____ (win) and solving real problems as well. To me, the debating community is a great place ____32____ people help each other because they care about how people from different ____33____ (background) can lead better lives. I’m grateful to each of my debate friends and every single minute we get to spend together. So even though I ____34____ (defeat) in my last debate, I’m still thankful for being part of my wonderful debate family. 【答案】25. failure 26. as 27. includes 28. fiercely 29. the 30. to practise 31. winning 32. where 33. backgrounds 34. was defeated 【解析】 【导语】文章以第一人称视角讲述作者在辩论比赛失利后的感悟，通过回忆辩论经历展现成长与收获。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：但我没有专注于我的失败，而是停下来反思了我过去几年作为辩手的经历。根据空格前的focusing on my可知，空格处需要用名词形式作宾语；fail是动词，其名词形式是failure，表示“失败”。 【26题详解】 考查介词。句意：但我没有专注于我的失败，而是停下来反思了我过去几年作为辩手的经历。根据空格后的名词a debater可知，此处表示“作为一名辩手”，用介词as，用来引出身份或角色。 【27题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：一般来说，准备新的辩论主题通常包括头脑风暴论点、研究决议和进行辩论练习。空格处是谓语动词，句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时；主语preparing for new debate topics是动名词短语，作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，所以填includes。 【28题详解】 考查副词。句意：所以如果你看到一个辩论小组，你可能会注意到我们在任何地方都激烈地争论。空格处修饰动词arguing，需要用副词形式；fierce是形容词，其副词形式是fiercely，表示“激烈地”。 【29题详解】 考查冠词。句意：当我们讨论辩论话题时，我和我的辩友们可以谈论任何事情，从恢复生态平衡的最佳方式到自由移民政策的弊端。best是形容词最高级，前面需要用定冠词the，表示“最……的”。 【30题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，我们的讨论不仅仅是练习辩论技巧的一种方式。a way to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“做某事的一种方式”，所以此处用动词不定式to practise作后置定语，修饰a way。 【31题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在我看来，它们帮助我们变得冷静，并且考虑获胜和解决实际问题。consider doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“考虑做某事”，此处winning与solving并列，作consider的宾语，所以填动名词winning。 【32题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：对我来说，辩论圈是一个人们互相帮助的好地方，因为他们关心来自不同背景的人如何过上更好的生活。空格处引导定语从句，先行词是a great place，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。 【33题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：对我来说，辩论圈是一个人们互相帮助的好地方，因为他们关心来自不同背景的人如何过上更好的生活。空格前有different修饰，所以background用复数形式backgrounds，表示“不同的背景”作宾语。 【34题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：所以即使我在上一次辩论中被击败了，我仍然很感激能成为我精彩的辩论家庭的一员。 空格处是让步状语从句的谓语动词，主语I与动词defeat之间是被动关系，且时间状语in my last debate表示过去的时间，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“was/were+过去分词”，主语是I，所以填was defeated。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高二下学期英语学科体验活动（四） 满分82.5分，考试时间55分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音读两遍。 1.

Experts say that due to the increase in population, humans will live in large urban centers consisting of super tall skyscrapers, taller than anything we have ever seen. Other than going up, the report suggests that there will be “earthscrapers” going as far as 25 stories underground. Meanwhile, they believe that there will be “bubble cities” that produce oxygen using the surrounding water. What’s more, drone technologies are predicted to grow at a rapid rate enabling the everyday man to travel anywhere he wants to go in his personal drone. The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology. Families will be able to download whatever meal they want from databases of popular chefs and restaurants. Then once you’re done with your 4-course 3D printed meal, you can have a large drone take your whole house to a vacation spot you like and have your dinner while enjoying the beautiful scenery. This may sound unbelievable, but given advances in modular design and large-scale affordable drones, these all may be in store. Keep in mind that all of these things are just predictions about the future from an independently contracted team, but we are facing an age of rapid development never seen before in human history and these predictions may end up being realized. Given all the recent advances in medicine, there’s a high likelihood that you may live to see 2116. Then why not see what you can do to help make the future come a little faster? 1. According to the report, what can future drones do? A. Get energy from the surrounding water. B. Create incredible scenery for users. C. Be owned by ordinary people. D. Serve meals to families. 2. In the future, which will greatly affect the food industry? A. 3D printing technology. B. Drone technologies. C. Popular databases. D. Communication tools. 3. What is the author’s attitude towards the predictions in the passage? A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Uninterested. 4. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Predictions About Future Life B. The Developments of New Technologies C. The Popularity of Drone Technologies D. Technologies’ Influence on Food and Buildings 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___5___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air. ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___6___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.” Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___7___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there. ___8___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades.

Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say. Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___9___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.” A. It’s the best souvenir option. B. It has become a popular vacation destination. C.
