一、阅读理解
There’s a classic short story in which a young man travels years ahead and meets his future self. Narratives like this have always been related to science fiction. But what if you could meet your future self?
I’m a psychologist and professor. My research over the past 15 years isn’t far from this theme. I’ve largely focused on how people think about and relate to their future selves, and explored the reasons why we have such a hard time making long-term decisions. In my research, I’ve learnt that we often imagine our future selves like strangers, which can impede us in making long-term choices. One way to bridge the emotional gap is to think of future selves in more concrete and vivid ways, like writing letters to and from one’s future self, which can strengthen the connection between current and future selves.
Admittedly, having people engage in an imagined conversation is a far cry from actually meeting one’s future self. But it’s believed that far richer interactions may happen in the near future through artificial intelligence (AI). It wouldn’t be predicting exactly what choices you’d make. It’d be more about showing your potential, based on the lives of people similar to you: not just one possible life for you, but rather, the most possible life path for you. Such interactions could offer valuable insights into our potential future selves.
So, to return to my original question: if you could time-travel to meet your future self, what aspects of your life would you want to know more about? I realized, through thorough reflections, that the most powerful questions would be ones that helped me make better choices today —questions exploring personal growth, regrets and unfulfilled actions.
Actually, you don’t need to wait for time travel or advanced AI for answers that you can act on. Through my research, I’ve learnt that simply taking a bit of time to picture this meeting can help you make better choices now. All you need is a little imagination, and the willingness to put yourself in the shoes of a person you currently treat as a stranger.
1.Why is it difficult for people to make long-term decisions according to the author?
A.Technology for time travel is not available.
B.Strangers cannot help with decision-making.
C.Writing letters to one’s future self is impractical.
D.People find it hard to connect with their distant selves.
2.What does the underlined phrase “a far cry from” mean in paragraph 3?
A.contradictory to B.very different from
C.not as convenient as D.less popular than
3.Which question would the author most likely ask his future self?
A.Why hasn’t my hard work ever paid off?
B.What can AI do to help people become better persons?
C.If given the chance, what would you have done differently?
D.How can I succeed without going through all the difficulties in life?
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Time travel: What if you met your future self?
B.My research: How do people view their future selves?
C.Emotional gap: Why can’t we talk with our future selves?
D.Artificial intelligence: Is it possible to meet your future self?
My future happiness
When I imagine my future, I see myself as an adult who is confident in my abilities, doing a job I love and living my life responsibly. When I grow up, I will be enjoying more convenience brought by the advances in technology, with more time to pursue hobbies and enjoy the company of family and friends. 5
I will feel the happiest in the future because I will learn more about life and develop into the best person I can be. 6 I will also handle more responsibilities and solve problems in a more thoughtful and level-headed manner.
Thanks to new technology, my future life is sure to improve in various ways. Homes will become smarter to the extent that they might be programmed to learn about our needs and monitor our health and activity. I can imagine hearing an AI voice remind me to buy groceries or do more exercise! There will also be enormous advancements in transport options. I will be riding in a self-driving car, and other new means of transport may be developed in the future. 7 These advances in technology are certain to make my future life more comfortable and convenient.
My development into a mature adult and access to advanced technology will provide me with more free-time opportunities. 8 Working less time means I can do what I most enjoy, such as spending time with family and friends, engaging in fun activities and learning new skills.
9 Thinking this way gives me the motivation to work hard now so that I can have a successful, fulfilling and enjoyable future life.
A.I might be able to ride a flying bike to quickly meet up with my friends.
B.I will become more knowledgeable about the world and myself.
C.When I think about the future, I realize my happiest days are still ahead of me.
D.For these reasons, I look forward to the future as the happiest moment in my life.
E.With less work-related stress, I will also have more time and energy to do volunteer projects.
F.The working day will be only four hours long thanks to robots.
G.Technological advances will guarantee that I will be in good health and find true happiness.二、完形填空

一、阅读理解
There’s a classic short story in which a young man travels years ahead and meets his future self. Narratives like this have always been related to science fiction. But what if you could meet your future self?
I’m a psychologist and professor. My research over the past 15 years isn’t far from this theme. I’ve largely focused on how people think about and relate to their future selves, and explored the reasons why we have such a hard time making long-term decisions. In my research, I’ve learnt that we often imagine our future selves like strangers, which can impede us in making long-term choices. One way to bridge the emotional gap is to think of future selves in more concrete and vivid ways, like writing letters to and from one’s future self, which can strengthen the connection between current and future selves.
Admittedly, having people engage in an imagined conversation is a far cry from actually meeting one’s future self. But it’s believed that far richer interactions may happen in the near future through artificial intelligence (AI). It wouldn’t be predicting exactly what choices you’d make. It’d be more about showing your potential, based on the lives of people similar to you: not just one possible life for you, but rather, the most possible life path for you. Such interactions could offer valuable insights into our potential future selves.
So, to return to my original question: if you could time-travel to meet your future self, what aspects of your life would you want to know more about? I realized, through thorough reflections, that the most powerful questions would be ones that helped me make better choices today —questions exploring personal growth, regrets and unfulfilled actions.
Actually, you don’t need to wait for time travel or advanced AI for answers that you can act on. Through my research, I’ve learnt that simply taking a bit of time to picture this meeting can help you make better choices now. All you need is a little imagination, and the willingness to put yourself in the shoes of a person you currently treat as a stranger.
1.Why is it difficult for people to make long-term decisions according to the author?
A.Technology for time travel is not available.
B.Strangers cannot help with decision-making.
C.Writing letters to one’s future self is impractical.
D.People find it hard to connect with their distant selves.
2.What does the underlined phrase “a far cry from” mean in paragraph 3?
A.contradictory to B.very different from
C.not as convenient as D.less popular than
3.Which question would the author most likely ask his future self?
A.Why hasn’t my hard work ever paid off?
B.What can AI do to help people become better persons?
C.If given the chance, what would you have done differently?
D.How can I succeed without going through all the difficulties in life?
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Time travel: What if you met your future self?
B.My research: How do people view their future selves?
C.Emotional gap: Why can’t we talk with our future selves?
D.Artificial intelligence: Is it possible to meet your future self?
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们很难做出长期的决定因为人们发现很难与遥远的自己联系起来,指出让人们参与想象中的对话与真正见到未来的自己相去甚远。建议人们花一点时间想象一下这次会面,就能帮助你现在做出更好的选择。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“I’ve largely focused on how people think about and relate to their future selves, and explored the reasons why we have such a hard time making long-term decisions. In my research, I’ve learnt that we often imagine our future selves like strangers, which can impede us in making long-term choices.(我主要关注的是人们如何思考和联系他们未来的自己,并探讨了我们很难做出长期决定的原因。在我的研究中,我了解到我们经常把未来的自己想象成陌生人,这可能会阻碍我们做出长期的选择)”可知,人们很难做出长期的决定因为人们发现很难与遥远的自己联系起来。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据第二段“In my research, I’ve learnt that we often imagine our future selves like strangers, which can impede us in making long-term choices.(在我的研究中,我了解到我们经常把未来的自己想象成陌生人,这可能会阻碍我们做出长期的选择)”;划线词上文“having people engage in an imagined conversation”以及后文“actually meeting one’s future self”可知,人们发现很难与遥远的自己联系起来,即让人们参与想象中的对话与真正见到未来的自己是非常不同的情况。故划线词意思是“与……非常不同”,故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I realized, through thorough reflections, that the most powerful questions would be ones that helped me make better choices today —questions exploring personal growth, regrets and unfulfilled actions.(经过深思熟虑,我意识到,最有影响力的问题应该是那些帮助我今天做出更好选择的问题——那些探讨个人成长、遗憾和未实现的行为的问题)”可知,作者最有可能问未来的自己:如果有机会,你会做些什么不同的事?故选C。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“There’s a classic short story in which a young man travels years ahead and meets his future self. Narratives like this have always been related to science fiction. But what if you could meet your future self?(有一个经典的短篇故事,讲的是一个年轻人在多年前旅行,遇到了未来的自己。这样的叙事总是与科幻小说有关。但如果你能见到未来的自己呢?)”结合文章主要说明了人们很难做出长期的决定因为人们发现很难与遥远的自己联系起来,指出让人们参与想象中的对话与真正见到未来的自己相去甚远。建议人们花一点时间想象一下这次会面,就能帮助你现在做出更好的选择。可知,A选项“时间旅行:如果你遇到了未来的自己该怎么办?”最符合文章标题。故选A。

34.考查形容词的比较级。句意:它可以容纳大约3000名学生,并为学生提供更好的条件。根据上文“He said a new modern school would be built in three years(他说一所新的现代化学校将在三年内建成)”可知此处是要对新学校建成前后的办学条件进行对比,应使用形容词的比较级,作定语,修饰名词conditions。故填better。
