Traditional farming may not be enough. Scientists are working on exciting new solutions. One promising idea is lab-grown meat. Instead of raising and killing animals, scientists can grow real meat from animal cells in a laboratory. This meat tastes exactly the same as regular meat. Lab-grown meat is better for the environment because it uses less water and land. It also produces fewer greenhouse gases. Some companies have already started selling lab-grown chicken in some countries. Another invention is vertical farming (垂直农业). Farmers grow vegetables in tall buildings instead of on flat land. These "vertical farms" use LED lights instead of sunlight. They can grow food all year round, no matter what the weather is like outside. Vertical farms use 95% less water than traditional farms because they recycle water. They also don't need pesticides (杀虫剂) because there are no insects indoors. 3D-printed food is another amazing technology. Special printers can create food layer by layer from powders and liquids. You can print a pizza, a cake, or even a steak! The food looks and tastes like real food. In the future, every kitchen might have a 3D food printer. You can download a recipe from the internet and print your dinner in minutes. However, not everyone is excited about these new foods. Some people think natural food is always better. They worry that lab-grown and printed food might not be as healthy. It will take time for people to trust these new technologies. But one thing is certain: how we produce and eat food will change dramatically in the coming years. 1. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Traditional farming will disappear in the future. B. New technologies will change how we get our food. C. Lab-grown meat is more delicious than regular meat. D. Everyone will use 3D food printers at home. 2. What does the underlined word "promising" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. expensive B. dangerous C. hopeful D. impossible 3. According to the passage, lab-grown meat is better for the environment because ______. A. it tastes better than regular meat B. it is cheaper than regular meat C. it uses less water and land D. it doesn't have any fat 4. Which of the following is TRUE about vertical farming? A. It uses more water than traditional farming. B. It grows food in tall buildings with LED lights. C. It needs a lot of pesticides to kill insects. D. It can only grow food during summer. 5. What does the passage say about 3D-printed food? A. It is not safe to eat. B. It is already widely used in every kitchen. C. It can create different types of food. D. It uses more energy than traditional cooking. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Everyone is excited about new food technologies. B. Traditional food will completely disappear soon. C. Some people are still worried about new foods. D. Lab-grown meat is healthier than natural food.

It showed what cities might look like in 2080. I was amazed by everything I saw. The first thing I noticed was the transportation system. All cars were self-driving and powered by solar energy. They didn't make any noise! There were no traffic jams because computers controlled all the traffic. People could also travel in small flying machines called "air taxis." They flew above the city and landed on the roofs of buildings. The buildings were very tall and covered with green plants. These "vertical gardens" not only looked beautiful but also cleaned the air. Solar panels covered every roof and even the windows. The buildings produced more energy than they used. I was most interested in the smart home system. When you walked into the room, the lights would turn on automatically. The walls could change colors according to your mood. A robot assistant could cook meals, clean the house, and even have conversations with you. The refrigerator could order food online when it was running low. Everything was connected to the internet. There was also a medical room where a machine could check your health in just one minute. It could test your blood, check your heart, and even predict what illnesses you might get in the future. The machine would then give you advice on how to stay healthy. The exhibition gave me a lot of hope for the future. However, I also felt a little worried. What if we depend too much on technology? What if machines become smarter than humans? The guide told us that humans should always stay in control. Technology should serve us, not the other way around. Task 1: Answer the following questions based on the passage. 1. Did the writer visit the exhibition alone or with family? (一般疑问句/选择疑问句) ____________________________________________________________ 2. What powered all the cars in the future city? (What提问) ____________________________________________________________ 3. When did the writer visit the Future City exhibition? (When提问) ____________________________________________________________ 4. Where did the air taxis land? (Where提问) ____________________________________________________________ 5. Why did the writer feel a little worried? (Why提问) ____________________________________________________________ Task 2: Write down your own understanding. (About 30 words) 6. Do you think smart homes are a good invention? Why or why not? Please share your opinion. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 第四部分 写作（共18分） VII. 中译英（共4题，每题2分，共8分） 根据所给中文，将下列句子翻译成英文。 1. 在人工智能的帮助下，我们将能更轻松地完成许多任务。 ____________________________________________________________ 2. 除非我们采取措施保护环境，否则我们的地球将变得越来越糟。 ____________________________________________________________ 3. 我想知道未来50年的生活会是什么样子。 ____________________________________________________________ 4. 只要人们共同努力，我们就能创造一个更美好的未来。 ____________________________________________________________ VIII. 写作（共10分） 假如你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom来信询问你对未来城市生活的看法。请根据以下要点提示，给他写一封回信，谈谈你的想法。 【写作要点】 - 对未来交通方式的设想（如无人驾驶、飞行汽车等） - 对未来居住环境的设想（如绿色建筑、智能家居等） - 你自己的态度或担忧（至少一条） 【写作要求】 - 词数：不少于80词（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数） - 条理清晰，内容完整 - 可适当发挥 Dear Tom, I'm glad to receive your letter.
