6. 如果你每天一直练习说英语,你肯定会学好它。
If you speaking English every day, you are sure to learn it well.
【答案】① keep ② practicing
【解析】根据题干中英文对比,可知需要翻译的是“一直练习”,动词短语 keep doing sth意为“一直做某事”,练习practice,动词,所以此处用它的动名词practicing形式,所以表达为keep practicing,结合if引导的句子,可知从句一般现在时,主语为第二人称“you”,所以空处用动词原形,故填keep;practicing。

(1)题: 句意:我们的未来将会非常酷,因为科技将会迅速发展。
这里说的是科技会发展,“develop”有“发展,进步”的意思,符合科技不断进步的情境。“connect”意为“连接”,“drop”意为“掉落;下降”,“shine”意为“发光;照耀”,均不符合科技发展的语境。
(2)题: 句意:交通将会完全不同。

(3)题: 句意:我们不再需要现金了。
根据后文“Our clothes will record the things we have bought, and we just need to pay for them together online at night.”可知,衣服会记录购买的东西,晚上一起在网上支付,这意味着不需要现金了,“cash”表示“现金”。“quality”意为“质量”,“service”意为“服务”,“mixture”意为“混合物”,均不符合语境。
(4)题: 句意:我将依靠我的创造力来设计漂亮的衣服。

根据“turn them into opportunities (机会) to grow”可知,是要把困难变成成长机会,首先要接受困难,“accept”表示“接受”,符合语境。“send”意为“发送”,“store”意为“储存”,“break”意为“打破”,均不符合语境。
(7)题: 句意:看到人们在街上穿着我设计的衣服将会很有趣。
根据语境,作为服装设计师,看到人们穿着自己设计的衣服会很有趣,“wearing”表示“穿着”,符合语境。“borrowing”意为“借”,“washing”意为“洗”,“making”意为“制作”,均不符合看到人们穿着自己设计衣服的情境。
(8)题: 句意:在未来,也许我可以在家参加音乐会。
根据前文“I love music.”可知作者喜欢音乐,所以这里说在家参加音乐会,“concerts”表示“音乐会”,符合语境。“celebrations”意为“庆祝活动”,“classes”意为“课程”,“races”意为“比赛”,均不符合喜欢音乐参加音乐会的语境。
(9)题: 句意:我将和我最喜欢的钢琴家的数字形象坐在一起,这会让我感到非常开心。

B篇
We asked three students to talk about what they think the future will be like.
Lin Tao: I’m a big fan of technology. I think in 50 years, flying cars will be popular. People won’t need to drive on crowded roads anymore. They can fly their cars in the sky, just like flying a plane. There will be almost no traffic jams, and people can travel between cities much faster. I can’t wait to see that day!
Wang Mei: I’m a little worried about the future. If people keep cutting down forests and pouring dirty water into rivers, there will be less clean water and fewer green spaces. The weather will become hotter and hotter, and many wild animals will disappear. I really hope people can realize these problems and start to protect the environment before it is too late.
Zhang Hao: I think space travel will become much cheaper and easier. In 20 or 30 years, common people will be able to take trips to the space station, look down at the blue earth from space and experience zero gravity (重力). It will be the most exciting trip ever! I’m going to study science hard, so I can be one of the first people to take a space holiday.
1. What does Lin Tao predict will appear in the future?

(1)题: 根据第二段“I think in 50 years, flying cars will be popular.”可知,他认为将来飞行汽车会变得流行,说明林涛预测未来会出现飞行汽车。
(2)题: 根据第三段“If people keep cutting down forests…there will be less clean water…The weather will become hotter…”可知,王梅担心未来砍伐森林,向河流中倾倒脏水,以及天气变热这些问题,说明她担心未来环境会变得更糟。
(3)题: 根据第四段“I’m going to study science hard, so I can be one of the first people to take a space holiday.”可知,张浩想在未来成为第一批去太空度假的人之一,即他未来想去空间站旅行。

二、阅读还原
Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet — Mars (火星). Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. By 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. 1
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will provide us with food and air.
2 We could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better in many ways. 3 It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we can have more time for hobbies.
4 Every student can study, do their homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. 5 Meals will probably be in the shape of pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also space travel will make many people feel ill.
A. There will probably be no schools on Mars.
B. People can turn ice into water.
C. There is a problem for us to live on Mars.
D. Food will not be the same.
E. First, people will have more space.
F. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars.
【答案】1. F 2. C 3. E 4. A 5. D
【解析】本文是说明文。主要介绍了人们设想中,到2100年人类在火星上的生活会是什么样子,从优势和潜在不足两个方面,对火星生活进行了全面的展望。

一、阅读单选
A篇
Dr Pete Roberts is a futurist and the author of the book Ready for Tomorrow. He believes that in 50 years, robots will work everywhere. Service robots will do almost all housework and help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen. Some jobs today will disappear, but there will be more challenging jobs like space pilots and AI experts. Dr Roberts does not think robots will replace humans because humans have creativity and emotional intelligence, which are important for relationships. AI will change the world in many ways. For example, smart refrigerators will understand our needs and order food when we are almost out. To prepare for the future, Dr Roberts advises us to accept change, keep learning, and work hard. He believes today’s choices will influence our future.
1. What book did Dr Pete Roberts write?

B篇
We asked three students to talk about what they think the future will be like.
Lin Tao: I’m a big fan of technology. I think in 50 years, flying cars will be popular. People won’t need to drive on crowded roads anymore. They can fly their cars in the sky, just like flying a plane. There will be almost no traffic jams, and people can travel between cities much faster. I can’t wait to see that day!
Wang Mei: I’m a little worried about the future. If people keep cutting down forests and pouring dirty water into rivers, there will be less clean water and fewer green spaces. The weather will become hotter and hotter, and many wild animals will disappear. I really hope people can realize these problems and start to protect the environment before it is too late.
Zhang Hao: I think space travel will become much cheaper and easier. In 20 or 30 years, common people will be able to take trips to the space station, look down at the blue earth from space and experience zero gravity (重力). It will be the most exciting trip ever! I’m going to study science hard, so I can be one of the first people to take a space holiday.
1. What does Lin Tao predict will appear in the future?
A. Self-cleaning houses. B. Flying cars.
C. Robot doctors. D. Online schools.
2. What is Wang Mei worried about?
A. Robots will take away people’s jobs.
B. There will be more traffic jams.
C. The environment will become worse.
D. Space travel will be too expensive for common people.
3. What does Zhang Hao want to do in the future?

B. He wants to travel to the space station.
C. He wants to be a scientist to protect animals.
D. He wants to plant more trees in forests.
4. Which of the following is TRUE?

B. Wang Mei hopes people can start protecting the environment early.
C. Zhang Hao thinks people will never be able to travel to space.

二、阅读还原
Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet — Mars (火星). Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. By 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. 1
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will provide us with food and air.
2 We could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better in many ways. 3 It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we can have more time for hobbies.
4 Every student can study, do their homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. 5 Meals will probably be in the shape of pills (药片) and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also space travel will make many people feel ill.
A. There will probably be no schools on Mars.
B. People can turn ice into water.
C. There is a problem for us to live on Mars.
D. Food will not be the same.
E. First, people will have more space.
F. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars.
