At that time, submarines were still very basic and dangerous machines. Yet Verne imagined a wonderful underwater ship called the Nautilus, which could travel for thousands of miles beneath the ocean. Today, many of his "predictions" have become reality, making this book one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written. But what makes Verne's imagination truly special is not just its creativity—it is his scientific attitude. Unlike many writers of his time who simply made up fantastic stories, Verne based his ideas on careful research. He studied the latest scientific discoveries of his day, read books on oceanography, and even visited laboratories and factories. The Nautilus was far ahead of its time—Verne described it as a fully electric submarine decades before electric power was widely used. He calculated its speed, depth limits, and power needs with surprising accuracy. Modern nuclear submarines can now do many of the things Verne imagined, such as staying underwater for months and travelling huge distances without refuelling. In a way, Verne was not just a writer—he was a futurist who used both imagination and scientific knowledge to predict the age of underwater exploration. The story follows Professor Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and a Canadian harpooner named Ned Land. After being thrown into the sea, they are rescued by the mysterious Captain Nemo and taken aboard the Nautilus. What follows is an unforgettable journey through the world's oceans. They visit underwater forests, fight giant squids near the coast of Norway, and discover the ruins of Atlantis. They also face terrible dangers: they are trapped under ice at the South Pole and attacked by a warship. Through it all, Captain Nemo remains a puzzle—sometimes wise and kind, sometimes dark and full of anger. Yet all these adventures are presented with a scientific eye: Verne describes the sea creatures with the precision of a biologist, and the geography of the ocean floor with the detail of a geographer. Why has this book remained so popular for over 150 years? Perhaps because it teaches us something important about how to imagine the future. Verne's imagination was not built on pure fantasy—it was built on knowledge. He showed us that the best predictions about tomorrow come from understanding the science of today. "The sea is everything," Captain Nemo says in the book. "It covers seven-tenths of the globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. There are no limits—no limits at all." These words are not just poetic—they reflect Verne's deep respect for the natural world and his belief in human potential. In the end, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is more than just an adventure story. It is a book that teaches us how to think about the future with both creativity and scientific rigour. It reminds us that the best futurists are not those who simply dream—they are those who study, learn, and then dare to imagine what others believe impossible. As we face our own unknowns, Verne's lesson remains as powerful as ever: the future belongs to those who prepare for it with knowledge, courage, and imagination. (   ) 1. What was the Nautilus in Jules Verne's novel? A. A flying machine that could travel above the clouds. B. A fully electric submarine that could explore the deep ocean. C. A space rocket that could travel to the moon and back. D. A high-speed train that ran on electricity. (   ) 2. Why does the writer describe Verne as a "futurist" in Paragraph 2? A. Because he wrote many successful adventure novels. B. Because he used both imagination and scientific knowledge to predict underwater technologies that later became real. C. Because he was also a famous scientist in France. D. Because he built the first electric submarine himself. (   ) 3. What does the underlined word "precision" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. 精确性 B. 想象力 C. 勇气 D. 好奇心 (   ) 4. According to the passage, what was special about Verne's way of imagining the future? A. He only wrote about things that already existed. B. He based his imagination on careful scientific research and knowledge. C. He never read any books or studied science. D. He believed that the future could not be predicted. (   ) 5. What lesson does the passage want to teach us about imagining the future? A. The best predictions come from pure imagination without any research. B. We should never try to predict the future because it is too uncertain. C. The best futurists combine creativity with scientific knowledge and careful study. D. Only scientists can make accurate predictions about tomorrow. B篇 What will family life look like in 30 years? Experts predict that technology will change the way families live, communicate, and spend time together in surprising and exciting ways. Smart Homes — Future homes will be much smarter and more efficient than today's houses. Imagine walking into your living room and having the lights, temperature, and music adjust automatically to your mood. Smart refrigerators will not only keep food fresh but also track what you eat, suggest healthy meal plans, and even order groceries for you when supplies are running low. All the boring housework will be done by service robots—cleaning floors, washing dishes, folding laundry—so family members can spend more quality time together instead of arguing about chores. Health & Care — Families will also benefit from incredible advances in medical technology. Home health systems will check each family member's body every morning and warn of potential health problems before they become serious. Elderly grandparents living alone will have AI assistants that remind them to take medicine, help them stay active, and even call for emergency services if they fall. "We believe that many common diseases will become curable in the coming decades," says Dr Liu, a medical expert at the Future Health Research Centre. "And people will live much longer—many will reach 100 or even 120 years old." Education at Home — Children may not need to go to a physical school every day. Instead, they will use virtual classrooms and work with AI teachers that adapt to each child's learning speed and style. This doesn't mean children will be isolated, however. Local community centres will become places where young students gather to do sports, music, and art together, developing the social skills and emotional intelligence that technology cannot teach. Some people worry that technology will make families less close, replacing real conversations with screen time. But experts believe that if we use technology wisely, it can actually bring families closer. After all, when robots take over the boring tasks, we will have more time for what truly matters—talking, laughing, and creating memories with the people we love. (   ) 6. According to the passage, what can a smart refrigerator do in the future? A. Cook meals automatically for the whole family. B. Track what you eat and order groceries when supplies are low. C. Wash dishes and clean the kitchen floor. D. Teach children how to cook healthy meals. (   ) 7. How might home health systems help elderly grandparents? A. By taking them to the hospital every day. B. By reminding them to take medicine and calling for help in emergencies. C. By doing physical exercise for them. D. By cooking special meals for their health conditions. (   ) 8. Why does the writer mention "local community centres" in Paragraph 4? A. To show that physical schools will completely disappear. B. To explain where children will take exams in the future. C. To give an example of how children can still develop social skills even when studying online. D. To compare community centres with traditional schools. (   ) 9. What can you infer about the writer's attitude toward technology in family life? A. The writer is strongly against using any technology at home. B. The writer believes technology will completely replace family relationships. C. The writer thinks technology, if used wisely, can bring families closer. D. The writer has no clear opinion about technology in families. (   ) 10. What is the main message of the passage? A. Technology will make families less close and should be avoided. B. Families in the future will face many dangers from smart machines. C. Technology will change family life in many positive ways, giving people more time for what truly matters. D. Only rich families will be able to afford smart homes and AI assistants. 四、完形填空（共10小题） Last summer, our school took part in a national robotics competition. When our teacher first 1.______ the idea, I wasn't very interested. Building a robot sounded like a(n) 2.______ task, and I had zero experience in programming. But my best friend Alex was excited. "Come on," he said, "let's 3.______ a new skill together. We might even win!" With some hesitation, I agreed to join the team. The first few weeks were truly 4.______. We spent hours after school learning how to write code, design parts, and put everything together. Nothing worked the first time—our robot fell over, its arms didn't move, and once it even caught fire! But instead of giving up, we kept going. Mr Li, our science teacher, was always there to help. "Don't be afraid of mistakes," he would say. "Every failure is a chance to learn. Stay 5.______ and you'll make it." Slowly, things began to improve. Alex turned out to be a(n) 6.______ in coding—he could solve problems that even the instruction book couldn't explain. I discovered that I was good at designing the robot's body, making it both functional and beautiful. Our different strengths worked perfectly together, and our little robot began to take shape. On the day of the competition, we were nervous but ready. Our robot completed every task successfully—crossing bridges, picking up objects, and even putting out a small fire. When the judges announced that we had won second place, we couldn't believe it. Our teacher smiled and said, "You know, success doesn't just 7.______ to your life—you 8.______ it through hard work and teamwork. I'm proud of you all." Looking back, I realize how much that summer 9.______ me. I learned that trying new things can be scary, but it's also the only way to grow. The skills we 10.______ during those weeks—coding, designing, problem-solving—are still with me today. More importantly, I discovered that I'm capable of much more than I ever imagined. (   ) 1.

Our guest today is Dr Lu Xingyuan, chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre. So welcome to our show, Dr Lu. Dr Lu: Good evening. Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here. Host: Dr Lu, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years? Dr Lu: Well, you'll see robots working everywhere. Host: Can you give us some examples? Dr Lu: Well, as we all know, China's robotics industry is growing fast. Robots will make our life easier. We'll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen. Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future? Dr Lu: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts. Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day? Dr Lu: No, I don't. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things.

At that time, submarines were still very basic and dangerous machines. Yet Verne imagined a wonderful underwater ship called the Nautilus, which could travel for thousands of miles beneath the ocean. Today, many of his "predictions" have become reality, making this book one of the most famous science fiction novels ever written. But what makes Verne's imagination truly special is not just its creativity—it is his scientific attitude. Unlike many writers of his time who simply made up fantastic stories, Verne based his ideas on careful research. He studied the latest scientific discoveries of his day, read books on oceanography, and even visited laboratories and factories. The Nautilus was far ahead of its time—Verne described it as a fully electric submarine decades before electric power was widely used. He calculated its speed, depth limits, and power needs with surprising accuracy. Modern nuclear submarines can now do many of the things Verne imagined, such as staying underwater for months and travelling huge distances without refuelling. In a way, Verne was not just a writer—he was a futurist who used both imagination and scientific knowledge to predict the age of underwater exploration. The story follows Professor Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and a Canadian harpooner named Ned Land. After being thrown into the sea, they are rescued by the mysterious Captain Nemo and taken aboard the Nautilus. What follows is an unforgettable journey through the world's oceans. They visit underwater forests, fight giant squids near the coast of Norway, and discover the ruins of Atlantis. They also face terrible dangers: they are trapped under ice at the South Pole and attacked by a warship. Through it all, Captain Nemo remains a puzzle—sometimes wise and kind, sometimes dark and full of anger. Yet all these adventures are presented with a scientific eye: Verne describes the sea creatures with the precision of a biologist, and the geography of the ocean floor with the detail of a geographer. Why has this book remained so popular for over 150 years? Perhaps because it teaches us something important about how to imagine the future. Verne's imagination was not built on pure fantasy—it was built on knowledge. He showed us that the best predictions about tomorrow come from understanding the science of today. "The sea is everything," Captain Nemo says in the book. "It covers seven-tenths of the globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. There are no limits—no limits at all." These words are not just poetic—they reflect Verne's deep respect for the natural world and his belief in human potential. In the end, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is more than just an adventure story. It is a book that teaches us how to think about the future with both creativity and scientific rigour. It reminds us that the best futurists are not those who simply dream—they are those who study, learn, and then dare to imagine what others believe impossible. As we face our own unknowns, Verne's lesson remains as powerful as ever: the future belongs to those who prepare for it with knowledge, courage, and imagination. (   ) 1.

Experts predict that technology will change the way families live, communicate, and spend time together in surprising and exciting ways. Smart Homes — Future homes will be much smarter and more efficient than today's houses. Imagine walking into your living room and having the lights, temperature, and music adjust automatically to your mood. Smart refrigerators will not only keep food fresh but also track what you eat, suggest healthy meal plans, and even order groceries for you when supplies are running low. All the boring housework will be done by service robots—cleaning floors, washing dishes, folding laundry—so family members can spend more quality time together instead of arguing about chores. Health & Care — Families will also benefit from incredible advances in medical technology. Home health systems will check each family member's body every morning and warn of potential health problems before they become serious. Elderly grandparents living alone will have AI assistants that remind them to take medicine, help them stay active, and even call for emergency services if they fall. "We believe that many common diseases will become curable in the coming decades," says Dr Liu, a medical expert at the Future Health Research Centre. "And people will live much longer—many will reach 100 or even 120 years old." Education at Home — Children may not need to go to a physical school every day. Instead, they will use virtual classrooms and work with AI teachers that adapt to each child's learning speed and style. This doesn't mean children will be isolated, however. Local community centres will become places where young students gather to do sports, music, and art together, developing the social skills and emotional intelligence that technology cannot teach. Some people worry that technology will make families less close, replacing real conversations with screen time. But experts believe that if we use technology wisely, it can actually bring families closer. After all, when robots take over the boring tasks, we will have more time for what truly matters—talking, laughing, and creating memories with the people we love. (   ) 6. According to the passage, what can a smart refrigerator do in the future? A. Cook meals automatically for the whole family. B. Track what you eat and order groceries when supplies are low. C. Wash dishes and clean the kitchen floor. D. Teach children how to cook healthy meals. 【答案】B 【解析】题干问智能冰箱在未来能做什么。原文定位第二段："Smart refrigerators will not only keep food fresh but also track what you eat, suggest healthy meal plans, and even order groceries for you when supplies are running low."B 选项完整概括了这些功能。A、C、D 的功能在原文中分别属于服务机器人和AI教师，不属于智能冰箱。 (   ) 7. How might home health systems help elderly grandparents? A. By taking them to the hospital every day. B. By reminding them to take medicine and calling for help in emergencies. C. By doing physical exercise for them. D. By cooking special meals for their health conditions. 【答案】B 【解析】题干问家庭健康系统如何帮助独居的老年祖父母。原文定位第三段："Elderly grandparents living alone will have AI assistants that remind them to take medicine, help them stay active, and even call for emergency services if they fall."B 选项"提醒服药并在紧急情况下求助"与此完全一致。A 原文未提"每天送医院"，C"替他们做运动"不合理，D 原文未提"烹饪特殊餐食"。 (   ) 8. Why does the writer mention "local community centres" in Paragraph 4? A. To show that physical schools will completely disappear. B. To explain where children will take exams in the future. C. To give an example of how children can still develop social skills even when studying online. D. To compare community centres with traditional schools. 【答案】C 【解析】题干问作者为什么在第四段提到"本地社区中心"。原文定位第四段："This doesn't mean children will be isolated...Local community centres will become places where young students gather to do sports, music, and art together, developing the social skills and emotional intelligence that technology cannot teach."C 选项"举例说明孩子即使在线学习也能培养社交技能"符合原文目的。A 与原文"doesn't mean children will be isolated"矛盾，B 和 D 原文未提及。 (   ) 9. What can you infer about the writer's attitude toward technology in family life? A. The writer is strongly against using any technology at home. B. The writer believes technology will completely replace family relationships. C. The writer thinks technology, if used wisely, can bring families closer. D. The writer has no clear opinion about technology in families. 【答案】C 【解析】题干问可以推断作者对家庭生活中科技的态度是什么。原文定位第五段："if we use technology wisely, it can actually bring families closer"和"when robots take over the boring tasks, we will have more time for what truly matters"。C 选项"如果明智使用，科技能让家庭更亲密"与此完全一致。A 与原文积极态度相反，B 与原文"bring families closer"矛盾，D 与原文明确的态度矛盾。 (   ) 10. What is the main message of the passage? A. Technology will make families less close and should be avoided. B. Families in the future will face many dangers from smart machines. C. Technology will change family life in many positive ways, giving people more time for what truly matters. D. Only rich families will be able to afford smart homes and AI assistants. 【答案】C 【解析】题干问文章的主旨大意。全文从智能家居、健康护理、家庭教育三个方面描述了科技如何积极改变家庭生活，结尾强调"we will have more time for what truly matters—talking, laughing, and creating memories"。C 选项完整概括了这一主旨。A 与文章积极态度相反，B 与文章乐观基调矛盾，D 原文未提"只有富人才能负担"。 四、完形填空（共10小题） Last summer, our school took part in a national robotics competition.
