Unit 7单元话题阅读理解专项练习

（2022·宁夏固原·八年级期末）What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.

When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. It has many advantages. We could fly at 480km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be an air traffic jam. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become true.

Three-dimensional(3D) printing is another new technology. 3D printers are used to build an object. They build the object until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we shop, the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that it will be very expensive.

So, in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.

What will the schools be like in the future? Smart schools will be the schools of the 21st century. These future schools are different from universities and colleges in the past. They use high technology（科技）to help students learn more quickly and safely, as well as bring convenience（便利）to teachers.

The University of British Columbia has built Canada’s first 5G-powered smart school. The school worked with a high-tech company to build a 5G network across the school.

At Staffordshire University in the UK, many students enjoy talking to Beacon and asking it questions. Beacon is an AI robot that was made by the university. It is like a personal helper for students. They can ask it questions, such as if one of their classes is over.

Amazon also has smart school things. Alexa, the company’s voice-activated（声控的）smart robot, can be used to help teachers with their classes. For example, Alexa can remember what the teacher’s classroom is like, such as how bright the lights should be, and change them right away.

“Cities are so big, and there are so many stakeholders（利益相关者）, so it can be difficult. But universities have their own buildings...so they can become a living lab,” said Gemmy Ginty, a teacher who is working on smart schools for the University of Glasgow.

（2022·山东泰安·八年级期末）Winter sports need to be in cold places. Have you ever imagined one day people go to other planets to hold the Winter Olympics?

Mercury (水星)

It’s the closest planet to the sun. In the daytime, the temperature can be up to 430℃ but at night it cools down to -200℃. There’s one area that the sun can never reach. There’s a lot of ice there. Maybe we can go speed skating and figure skating (花样滑冰) there!

Mars

The temperature on Mars is between 140℃ and 30℃. At the north and south poles of Mars, there are areas covered by ice and snow. There is also a big mountain called Mount Olympus, So maybe we can ski on Mars!

Pluto (冥王星)

Pluto is a dwarf planet far away from the sun. It’s very cold there, about-229℃. There’s a lot of ice. It’s even harder than steel. So maybe we can go sledding (滑雪械) on Pluto.

（2022·广东广州·八年级期末）What’s going to happen in the future? Here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10 to 30 years later from now.

1. Digital money

We used to pay with cash（现金）for everything we bought. In fact, we are already using one kind of digital money when we swipe（刷）our bus pass or use a credit card（信用卡）to shop online. You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash with you. People in Sweden all stopped using cash last year and the US might be the next.

2.Bionic（仿生）Eye

People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back---by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send the message into brain. Although the bionic eye now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a better and clearer bionic eye could be just a few years away.

3.Self-driving car

Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t lose attention because of a phone call, a radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. Many companies are now planning self-driving cars. By 2045, driverless cars will be the main transport on the road.
