Just picture walking among dinosaurs, meeting your great-great-grandchildren, or seeing future cities. While time travel remains a popular subject in stories, scientists have spent years studying whether it could ever become reality. Modern science suggests that time is not as fixed as it seems. According to key theories, time and space are deeply connected. When objects move at extremely high speeds—close to the speed of light—time slows down for them. For example, astronauts on the Space Station actually age slightly (稍微) slower than people on Earth! To travel far into the future, you would need to move at this incredible (难以置信的) speed. While centuries pass on Earth, you might experience only a few years. But going back in time is much harder. Scientists think one way could be using wormholes (虫洞)—imaginary tunnels (隧道) that connect different places and times in space. Imagine folding a piece of paper to make a shortcut! Similarly, a wormhole could connect distant moments in time. But scientists have never observed (观测) a real wormhole. ★ . Moving through time would need huge amounts of power–far beyond today’s technology. Even if we solve all the problems, strange things might happen. For example, would you accidentally prevent your own birth by changing the past? Such puzzles make time travel an exciting but dangerous idea. For now, humans explore time indirectly. Telescopes (望远镜) act as “time machines” by catching light from stars millions of years old. GPS satellites must change their clocks slightly because time ticks slower in orbit (轨道)—a tiny but real effect of relativity (相对论) ! While we can’t build a time machine yet, these discoveries show us that the universe is full of wonders. Who knows? With technology, time travel might one day shift from science fiction to science fact. Until then, it remains a fascinating topic that mixes imagination, physics, and endless curiosity. 11. According to the passage, astronauts on the Space Station age slower than people on Earth because ________. A. they experience lower gravity B. they move at speeds close to light C. they use advanced time machines D. they avoid Earth’s time effects 12. Why does the author mention “dinosaurs” in the first paragraph? A. To explain how time travel could help scientific research. B. To give an example of what people might see if they could visit the past. C. To show that dinosaurs are the most interesting part of history. D. To prove that time travel has already been achieved by scientists. 13. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. Scientists have already built time machines. B. Another problem is finding wormholes. C. Another challenge is energy. D. Time travel is completely impossible now. 14. What does the underline phrase “make a shortcut” suggest? A. To reduce travel distance quickly. B. To avoid difficult scientific work. C. To connect distant times directly. D. To create new space tunnels. 15. Which would be the best theme picture of the passage? A. B. C. D. B Life in the Future: A World Shaped by Technology The rapid development of technology is greatly changing the world. From homes to transportation, education to healthcare, the future promises a world where convenience and innovation go hand in hand. Let’s explore what daily life might look like in the year 2040. Smart Homes: Living with Intelligence Imagine waking up to a room that changes its lighting and temperature automatically based on your sleep patterns. Smart mirrors in the bathroom analyze your health data and suggest a balanced breakfast menu. Robots do chores like cleaning and cooking, while AI systems manage energy use, reducing waste by 40%. Even pets are cared for by automated feeders and interactive toys. “My home feels like a personal assistant,” says Lucy, a resident of a smart apartment in Shanghai. However, some worry about privacy risks, as devices collect large amounts of personal information. Revolutionary Transportation: Faster and Greener Gone are the days of traffic jams. Maglev trains (磁悬浮列车) can travel at 600 km/h, connecting cities in a short time. For shorter trips, self-driving electric cars can communicate with each other on the road to avoid accidents. Meanwhile, “sky taxis” offer a bird’s-eye view of cities, though they require strict air traffic control. The biggest highlight is the Hyperloop which makes it possible to travel from Beijing to Shanghai in just one hour. Still, challenges remain, such as the high cost of building underground tunnels. Education and Healthcare: Personalized and Accessible Classrooms have transformed into virtual (虚拟的) worlds. Students wear VR headsets to “visit” ancient civilizations or do chemistry experiments in 3D labs. AI tutors provide instant feedback (反馈) giving each student’s proper lessons to learn. “Learning feels like an adventure now,” says 14-year-old Tom. In healthcare, wearable devices record heart rates and blood sugar levels 24/7. Telemedicine enables doctors to examine patients from a distance, and robots accurately assist in surgeries. Genetic engineering even helps prevent diseases before birth. Yet, relying too much on technology raises concerns. “Young people spend less time outdoors, which affects their mental health,” warns psychologist Dr. Lee. Challenges: Balancing Progress and Humanity Future life has benefits but also challenges. Hackers increasingly target smart systems, raising security risks. People grow more isolated as they use screens more than communicating face-to-face. While electric cars reduce pollution, mining rare materials harms nature. Tech ethicist Maria Gonzalez warns, “Technology should help humans, not rule us.” Conclusion The future is a mixture of wonders and warnings. Technology will undoubtedly make life easier, healthier, and more exciting. However, it’s crucial to address its risks wisely. By embracing innovation while valuing human connection and nature, we can build a future that’s not only smart but also sustainable and humane. 16. What is one function of smart mirrors mentioned in the article? A. Playing music automatically. B. Suggesting breakfast menus based on health data. C. Controlling air traffic for drones. D. Mining rare materials for electric vehicles. 17. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To warn people of the dangers of future technology. B. To describe how technology will change daily life and its challenges. C. To advertise specific future products like maglev trains. D. To explain the history of AI development. 18. Which technique does the author NOT use to present the future transportation? A. Providing data. B. Using words from experts or real-life residents. C. Comparing the future with the present D. Giving examples. 19. What is a major challenge mentioned about the Hyperloop? A. It requires passengers to wear VR headsets. B. It is too noisy for urban areas. C. The high cost of building underground tunnels. D. It cannot operate in cold weather. 20. How is the article organized? A. It lists technologies first, then discusses challenges, and concludes with a balance. B. It compares past and present technologies. C. It focuses only on transportation advancements. D. It criticizes technology without offering solutions. C Are you curious about the future? What do you think our life will be like in 50 years or more? To answer this, you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas then. Today, many young readers are interested in science fiction. But what makes it so popular? For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible. We can dream big. Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants. Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds. Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future. In 1945, a sci-fi author named Arthur C. Clarke wrote about a system of space stations. In the article, he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes around the world. However, this was before TV was a common item at home! In a short story by Clarke, he suggested people in the future would use a system to talk with others around the world. Amazingly, the short story was actually the inspiration (灵感) for the internet! Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways. Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary (虚构的) worlds or societies, they can help us better understand the real world. They can also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world. What will the future be like? Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it could be like. 21. According to the passage, what can science fiction give us a chance to do? A. To meet strange aliens from other worlds B. To create the internet and TV programmes C. To imagine what our future will be like D. To live in imaginary worlds and societies 22. The underlined word “inspire” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. teach B. expect C. remind D. encourage 23. Why is Arthur C. Clarke mentioned in the passage? A. To give an example of how sci-fi inspires creation. B. To show he was one of the most famous sci-fi writers. C. To tell readers he wrote many short stories about the future. D. To explain why his stories were popular among young people. 24. How can science fiction help us understand the real world better? A. It makes our life more boring. B. It makes us live in imaginary worlds. C. It tells us that future things are impossible. D. It lets us think about the world in new ways. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to Write a Good Sci-fi Story B. Why Science Fiction Is So Popular C. What Our Life Will Be Like in 50 Years D. A Famous Sci-fi Writer—Arthur C. Clarke 第二节 短文填空 以下是一则短文, 请阅读短文, 并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中, 使原文的意思完整、连贯。并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5 小题, 每小题1分） When we talk about science fiction (科幻小说), many people will mention Isaac Asimov. 26 When Asimov was three years old, he moved to New York City with his family. Though it was more difficult than they had expected, his father managed to buy a candy store. It turned out to be a big influence on Asimov’s future. As Asimov worked long hours in the store, he noticed that the sci-fi magazines kept drawing customers in. 27 His father, however, thought that sci-fi magazines were useless. He told his son not to waste time reading about things that “do not exist and never will”. 28 Asimov continued to read those magazines secretly. While they opened the door to a whole new world for the boy, his father gave him a library card. The boy became a regular visitor to the library nearby. As Asimov himself once wrote, “ 29 And I made the most of it. For a poor boy whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was like a door to wonder.” Asimov sold his first sci-fi story when he was still in high school. As his writing kept improving, Asimov’s stories became more and more popular. By the time he was thirty-six, 30 He created the word “robotics” and invented the famous “Three Laws of Robotics”. It’s hard to believe that these great achievements all started from a love of “useless” magazines in a candy store. A. Asimov was born in 1920 in Russia. B. Asimov became interested in them very soon. C. This didn’t kill Asimov’s love of science fiction. D. His father bought a lot of sci-fi magazines for Asimov. E. Asimov was considered to be a master of science fiction. F. I can never be thankful enough that I chose to walk into the library. 第三节 信息匹配（共 5小题, 每小题1分） 阅读材料，将5小题中五位学生想了解的事物与他们找到的相关资料A—E进行匹配。 31 I saw an amazing picture in a magazine. In it, an ancient city is in ocean. I want to know more about the city. 32 In today’s English class, we watched an interesting movie named Ice Age. I wonder what the world was actually like during that period. 33 I’ve learned in the news that there are huge ground drawings somewhere in South America. Some of them look like animals, and some look like plants. 34 I visited Easter Island last week and was amazed by the heavy rocks there. Hundreds of rocks are on the island and they’re in the shape of human heads. 35 Our geography teacher mentioned the Great Pyramid of Giza (吉萨大金字塔) in class. She said it is one of the greatest man-made wonders in the world. I’m interested in it. A. The Rapa Nui were believed to build the 887 huge Moai rock statues (雕像), the lightest weighing 86 tons. How they were able to move them around the island is a mystery. Some believe aliens from another planet put the stones there because the statues have no eyes. B. According to scientists, during the Ice Ages 30% of the world was covered with ice and woolly mammoths (猛犸象) lived on the earth. And they believe 5 ice ages have happened in the history of the earth. But they can’t explain why the earth’s temperature was so low for lots of years. C. It’s a stone building in Egypt with a long history. Experts believe that it was completed around 2540 BC. It might have been built for Khufu, an ancient Egyptian ruler. For centuries, people have wondered how people at that time created such a pyramid without using modern technology. D. The Nazca Lines are located on a high land in southern Peru. They are best known for the representations (表现形式) of about 70 animals and plants. Examples include a spider, monkey, whale, flower, and tree. Some of the drawings are about 370 meters long. The purpose of the drawings remains a mystery. E. The mysterious island city of Nan Madol lies in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It once had a population of 1,000. Today part of it is under the sea and no humans live there. Why did people build the city? Researchers are trying to solve the mystery. 第二部分 非选择题（25分） III. 语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Have you ever heard the phrase, “Huaimin was also still awake?” It comes from a story about Su Shi, a famous 36 (write) in Chinese history. It was a clear night in the 37 (eleven) century. Su Shi saw the beautiful moonlight and felt like going for 38 walk. Thinking of his friend Zhang Huaimin who lived at Chengtian Temple, Su said to himself, “It will be perfect 39 he can join me.” Then he went to find Zhang. 40 (lucky), Zhang was also awake, so they enjoyed a peaceful walk under the moon. “What night has no moon? Where can’t you find bamboo and cypress (柏树)? But there are few idlers (闲人) like the two of 41 (we),” Su later wrote. Why does the story remain so popular today? Well, it’s interesting. Some imagine that Zhang was asleep when Su arrived. Zhang was pulled out of bed but still kindly agreed 42 (take) the walk. So far, some social media users 43 (create) lots of funny pictures from this story. What’s more, in today’s busy world, many people feel lonely and wish that they could depend 44 a loyal friend, just like Zhang. We will never know exactly what Zhang thought about the walk. But the story helps young people feel much 45 (close) to our cultural past. Perhaps that is the true wisdom it carries through the ages. 第四节、书面表达（15分） 假如现在是2100年，由于科学与技术的高速发展，去火星旅行已经成为现实。请根据以下提示，并发挥你的想象力，以A Journey to Mars为题；写一篇关于火星旅行的短文。 提示： 1.乘坐航天飞机到达火星； 2.遇见了外星人（aliens）（自己想象外星人的模样） 3.环游火星，并拍了很多照片 4.… 要求： （1）词数：80—100左右（开头已经给出，不计入总数） （2）字迹工整，语言流畅，表达正确，逻辑清晰。 （3）要包括给出的要点，可以适当增加内容。 A Journey to Mars With the development of the technology, we can travel into the space at any time.

Genetic engineering even helps prevent diseases before birth. Yet, relying too much on technology raises concerns. “Young people spend less time outdoors, which affects their mental health,” warns psychologist Dr. Lee. Challenges: Balancing Progress and Humanity Future life has benefits but also challenges. Hackers increasingly target smart systems, raising security risks. People grow more isolated as they use screens more than communicating face-to-face. While electric cars reduce pollution, mining rare materials harms nature. Tech ethicist Maria Gonzalez warns, “Technology should help humans, not rule us.” Conclusion The future is a mixture of wonders and warnings. Technology will undoubtedly make life easier, healthier, and more exciting. However, it’s crucial to address its risks wisely. By embracing innovation while valuing human connection and nature, we can build a future that’s not only smart but also sustainable and humane. 16.

What do you think our life will be like in 50 years or more? To answer this, you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas then. Today, many young readers are interested in science fiction. But what makes it so popular? For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible. We can dream big. Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants. Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds. Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future. In 1945, a sci-fi author named Arthur C. Clarke wrote about a system of space stations. In the article, he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes around the world. However, this was before TV was a common item at home! In a short story by Clarke, he suggested people in the future would use a system to talk with others around the world. Amazingly, the short story was actually the inspiration (灵感) for the internet! Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways. Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary (虚构的) worlds or societies, they can help us better understand the real world. They can also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world. What will the future be like? Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it could be like. 21. According to the passage, what can science fiction give us a chance to do? A. To meet strange aliens from other worlds B. To create the internet and TV programmes C. To imagine what our future will be like D. To live in imaginary worlds and societies 22. The underlined word “inspire” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. teach B. expect C. remind D. encourage 23. Why is Arthur C. Clarke mentioned in the passage? A. To give an example of how sci-fi inspires creation. B. To show he was one of the most famous sci-fi writers. C. To tell readers he wrote many short stories about the future. D. To explain why his stories were popular among young people. 24. How can science fiction help us understand the real world better? A. It makes our life more boring. B. It makes us live in imaginary worlds. C. It tells us that future things are impossible. D. It lets us think about the world in new ways. 25. What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to Write a Good Sci-fi Story B. Why Science Fiction Is So Popular C. What Our Life Will Be Like in 50 Years D. A Famous Sci-fi Writer—Arthur C. Clarke 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. B 【解析】本文主要介绍了为什么科幻小说如今广受欢迎，分三个层面介绍了科幻流行的原因：一是科幻给人们机会畅想未来的样貌；二是科幻作品能够激励人们创造未来；三是科幻能让人们用新视角思考世界，帮助我们更好理解现实，最后总结了科幻对人们认知未来的启发意义。 21. 定位原文第二段第一句，明确提到“science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like”，和C选项表述完全一致。 22. 结合下文语境，克拉克的科幻设想给互联网的发明提供了灵感，可知此处说科幻作品能“激励、鼓励”我们创造未来，inspire和encourage“鼓励”含义相近。 23. 第三段的核心观点是“科幻作品能激励我们创造未来”，提到Arthur C. Clarke是为了给这个观点举例子佐证。 24. 定位原文第四段，开头提到“Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways…they can help us better understand the real world”，可知科幻是通过让我们用新方式思考世界，帮我们更好理解现实世界。 25. 文章开篇提出问题“what makes it so popular”，正文分三点介绍科幻受欢迎的原因，所以核心主旨就是“为什么科幻这么受欢迎”。 第二节 短文填空 以下是一则短文, 请阅读短文, 并从下列六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中, 使原文的意思完整、连贯。并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5 小题, 每小题1分） When we talk about science fiction (科幻小说), many people will mention Isaac Asimov. 26 When Asimov was three years old, he moved to New York City with his family. Though it was more difficult than they had expected, his father managed to buy a candy store. It turned out to be a big influence on Asimov’s future. As Asimov worked long hours in the store, he noticed that the sci-fi magazines kept drawing customers in. 27 His father, however, thought that sci-fi magazines were useless. He told his son not to waste time reading about things that “do not exist and never will”. 28 Asimov continued to read those magazines secretly. While they opened the door to a whole new world for the boy, his father gave him a library card. The boy became a regular visitor to the library nearby. As Asimov himself once wrote, “ 29 And I made the most of it. For a poor boy whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was like a door to wonder.” Asimov sold his first sci-fi story when he was still in high school. As his writing kept improving, Asimov’s stories became more and more popular. By the time he was thirty-six, 30 He created the word “robotics” and invented the famous “Three Laws of Robotics”. It’s hard to believe that these great achievements all started from a love of “useless” magazines in a candy store. A. Asimov was born in 1920 in Russia. B. Asimov became interested in them very soon. C. This didn’t kill Asimov’s love of science fiction. D. His father bought a lot of sci-fi magazines for Asimov. E. Asimov was considered to be a master of science fiction. F. I can never be thankful enough that I chose to walk into the library. 【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. F 30.
