    What picture do you have about the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for the future?

    People predict that life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that there won't be TV channels(频道).

By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.

    Water will become one of our most serious problems then. In many places, farmers are in great need of water to grow fruit and vegetables.

    About transportation, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. There won't be any accidents because of robots. We will see robots everywhere. And spaceplanes will take people around the world in two hours.

    By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. At that time, people's life will become better and better.

    There are about 7 billion people on the Earth now. The world's population is a big problem because it will cause lots of problems in the future. More people will need more food and will need more room to live in as well.

    The world's population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year during 1950-1951 to over 2 percent in the early 1960s. Although the growth rate thereafter started to fall due to(由于) people getting married later as well as the development of technology, the rate is on the rise again now.

    The important thing is not how large the population of the world is, but how fast the rate increases. The world population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999. The world population will grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2050. This great growth of the population will create a big problem by the year 2100—there will be over 10 billion people in the world then.

A.7 billion; 10 billion  B.7 million; 10 million

答案以及解析

一、

1.答案：B

解析：考查疑问词辨析。答语表示方式, 用副词how提问。故选B。

2.答案：A
解析：句意：长城是世界七大奇迹之一。 the Great Wall意为"长城"。故选A。

3.答案：C
解析：考查动词时态。句意: 昨天的这个时候, 九年级的学生们正在进行数学考试。时间状语at this time yesterday"昨天这个时候"提示用过去进行时。故选C。

4.答案：B

解析：本题考查连词的用法。设空处前的内容表示"对我们来说，难以开口告别"，设空处后的内容表示"我们有这么多可以铭记的快乐日子"，设空处后的内容表示原因，故所缺的词是 because，故选B。

5.答案：A

解析：句意: 王先生, 你认为这儿的环境怎么样？—好极了! 五分之二的土地被树和草覆盖。英语 中表达分数时, 分子用基数词, 分母用序数词, 当分子大于"一"时, 分母用序数词的复数形式。这里中心词是不可数名词land, 谓语动词用单数形式, 故选A。

6.答案：A

解析：根据题干中的"我喜欢户外活动，但她只喜欢在家看书"可推断，她比我"更安静"， quieter符合题意。

7.答案：C

解析：句意：你到处可以看到很多雪，太冷了。修饰不可数名词snow要用 too much；表示"太冷"要用 much too来修饰cold，故答案为C。

8.答案：C
解析：考查数词的用法。句意：现在，数百万的农民离开他们的家乡去城里寻找工作。 million、 thousand或 hundred前有具体数字时不用复数，直接修饰名词复数形式，因此B、D两项是错误形式；在表达不确切的数目时，要在 million、 thousand或 hundred后加-s，并和of连用，由此可知A项也是错误形式。故选C。

9.答案：A

解析：考查短语辨析。句意：—你昨晚睡得好吗？—哦，不好。旅馆外面太吵了，几乎使我发疯。 too much太多，修饰不可数名词； much too太……，非常，修饰形容词或副词； too many及 so many修饰可数名词复数。这里 noise为不可数名词，故选A。

10.答案：A

解析：考查动词短语辨析。根据后面的" so we can buy anything from the stores"可以推断出此处表示"不关门"。 close down关闭； cut down砍倒； put down放下； write down记下。根据语境可知选A。

11.答案：D

解析：四个选项的含义分别是：review评论，回顾； receive收到； spread传播； increase增加，提髙。根据本题语境可知，培养好的阅读习惯可以"提高"我们的阅读速度， increase符合题意，故答案为D。

12.答案：D

解析：根据本题语境可知，孩子们制造了很多"噪音"，所缺的词是noise, noise指令人不愉快的"噪音"，故答案为D。

13.答案：B

解析：根据本题语境可知，那个女人想要一个带花园的大房子，with表示"带有；具有"，故答案为B。

14.答案：A
解析：本题考查一般将来时的被动语态。句意：据说广东未来将会建造一所大湾区大学。根据 one Greater Bay Area university和 build之间的被动关系可知要用被动语态，先排除B和C；再根据 in the future可知，要用一般将来时的被动语态。

15.答案：B
解析：句意:—请你把垃圾拿出去好吗?—当然可以,没问题。但是我想要先喝一杯水。考查情景交际。Thank you谢谢你;Sure, no problem当然可以,没问题;You’re welcome不用客气;No, I can’t.不,我不可以。根据“Could you please take out the rubbish?”可知,此处询问你是否可以把垃圾拿出去,同意的话,应说当然可以。根据“But I want to drink a cup of water first.”可知,此处表示同意把垃圾拿出去,故选B。

二、

答案：1-5 CBDBA 6-10 DCABC

解析：1.结合下文中的"play with his daughter"可知, 布莱克先生每天都会花时间和他的女儿玩耍。playing意为"玩耍", 符合题意。
2.设空前句意为"他有许多工作要做", 设空后句意为"不能和他的女儿玩了"。经过逻辑推理可知, 两部分之间是顺承关系, 故and符合题意。
3.结合上下文的描述可知, 他在杂志上找了一张世界地图, 并把它剪成碎片, 是为了让他的女儿"忙碌"起来, 故busy符合题意。
4.结合下文中的"Helen came running to him and was ready to play."可知, 当他到家的时候, 海伦跑向他, 准备和他一起玩。got home意为"到家", 符合题意。

6.结合设空前的"Mr. Black was surprised"可知, 布莱克先生觉得很惊讶, 他觉得他的女儿"不可能"这么快就拼完。 故impossible"不可能的"符合题意。
7.结合上文中多次出现的pieces可知, 每一"块"都在它的位置上, 故piece符合题意。
8.结合上下文可知, 布莱克先生想知道他的女儿是怎样做到的, 故此处所缺的疑问词是how。
9.结合最后一段海伦的回答可知, 她觉得很"简单", 故simple符合题意。
10.结合设空后出现的man可知, 那张纸的背面是一张"男人"的照片, 故man符合题意。

答案：

If I Have a New Brother or Sister

    I think my life will be different if I have a new brother or sister. I'll be very happy because I'll have a younger brother/sister to play with and talk with. I want to say thanks to my parents. I will do something for my family. At weekends, I'll help my mum do some housework, such as cleaning the room and sweeping the floor. I'll learn to look after myself because my parents are too busy to look after both of us. After my younger brother or sister is born, I'll help my mother look after him/her. When I am free, I'll take him/her for a walk and play with him/her. And I'll help him/her with his/her study when he/she is old enough to go to school.

    In a word, I'm getting ready for the coming of my younger brother/sister.
