二 、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)
What will the future world be like? Many people are glad to give their __16__. Here are two imaginations about the world of ___17___.
When people talk about the future, we like to think that we’ll have our own personal flying car. We would fly at 480 kilometres per hour, avoiding traffic lights, _ _18 __ roads and speeding tickets. However, some people point to the disadvantages of flying cars. One big problem is: what will happen if the flying cars __19__? Then there will be problems with traffic control. Also, if they become popular, there will surely be too much air traffic. So it seems that flying cars will face more than a few problems if they are to get off the ground!
Imagine you have your own Ironman __20__. Several companies are trying to build a practical robot exoskeleton”. This is a suit of robot arms and legs which follows your movement. It will __21__ the wearer to lift heavy objects, walk a long way and even punch through walls! It is ___22___ in many ways, especially for people with disabilities. This suit might help people to walk again after ___23__ or injury（受伤）. But the disadvantage at the moment is the price. Even a simple suit can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. Another problem is battery life. A suit like this needs a lot of ___24___ and batteries only last about 15 minutes at the moment. One other problem is that a badly programmed robot suit could ___25__ the wearer. You wouldn’t want your robot leg or arm bending（弯曲）the wrong way.
So in the future, although we might be able to fly to work and lift a car above our heads, there are plenty of problems to solve before this will be possible.

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these inventions really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings. A WeChat message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, even no electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin,10 and Thomas,7,spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes." The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy, beer-drinking granny" to one who cooked things.

A. tell us a truth about our lives
B. tell us what life was like long time ago
C. point out what causes such a thing to happen
D. point out some problems we will meet in life
32.In the passage, the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions .
A. have speeded up our lives
B. may bring people some trouble
C. may make people feel very happy
D. have improved the quality of our lives
33.The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because .
A. they loved to live simple lives
B. they were troubled by modern inventions
C. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
D. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions
34.According to the passage, which is NOT right?
A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.
B. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.
C. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.
D. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.
35.The passage is mainly about .
A. problems with technology
B. changes of technology

What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120, 000 kilometers of railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Newspapers will come to an end in 2043.In the future, digital(数字的) newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through the Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源).
Schools will go electronic(电子的). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students' library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, who will check homework on computers and communicate with the students' parents through email. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic（仿生的）Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
41. Which of the following payments is not mentioned in this passage?
A. Cash B. Wechat Pay C. Alipay D. Credit card
42. Bionic eyes send information to the________.
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
43. From the report, we can learn some information about________.
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journey
C. science and technology D. culture and art
44. The passage tells us that________.
A. bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films
B. the blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future
C. self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside
D. there will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used
45. We can infer（推断）that________ from the passage.
A. there would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
B. robots would control the world
C. the blind could use glasses to see things around
D. we would live a hard life with digital money
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是科学家认为10—30年后最有可能发生的几件事情：盲人会有仿生眼；数字货币；无人驾驶车。
41.细节理解题。根据“We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it.”可知，这里提到了现金，微信支付，支付宝支付，没有提到信用卡支付，故选D。
42.细节理解题。根据“but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind.”可知，仿生眼可以使用相机“看到”环境，并向大脑发送信息。故选A。
43.细节理解题。综合全文的“仿生眼”“数字货币”“无人驾驶车”可知，这些都和科学技术有关，故选C。
44.推理判断题。根据“A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.”（拥有清晰图像的仿生眼可能会在几年内问世）可推断，佩戴仿生眼的盲人将来可能看得更清楚，故选B。
45.推理判断题。根据“ In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.”（在未来，无人驾驶汽车将被广泛接受）可推断，路上将会有很多无人驾驶的汽车，故选A。

二 、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)
What will the future world be like? Many people are glad to give their __16__. Here are two imaginations about the world of ___17___.
When people talk about the future, we like to think that we’ll have our own personal flying car. We would fly at 480 kilometres per hour, avoiding traffic lights, _ _18 __ roads and speeding tickets. However, some people point to the disadvantages of flying cars. One big problem is: what will happen if the flying cars __19__? Then there will be problems with traffic control. Also, if they become popular, there will surely be too much air traffic. So it seems that flying cars will face more than a few problems if they are to get off the ground!
Imagine you have your own Ironman __20__. Several companies are trying to build a practical robot exoskeleton”. This is a suit of robot arms and legs which follows your movement. It will __21__ the wearer to lift heavy objects, walk a long way and even punch through walls! It is ___22___ in many ways, especially for people with disabilities. This suit might help people to walk again after ___23__ or injury（受伤）. But the disadvantage at the moment is the price. Even a simple suit can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. Another problem is battery life. A suit like this needs a lot of ___24___ and batteries only last about 15 minutes at the moment. One other problem is that a badly programmed robot suit could ___25__ the wearer. You wouldn’t want your robot leg or arm bending（弯曲）the wrong way.
So in the future, although we might be able to fly to work and lift a car above our heads, there are plenty of problems to solve before this will be possible.

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these inventions really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings. A WeChat message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, even no electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin,10 and Thomas,7,spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes." The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy, beer-drinking granny" to one who cooked things.
31.The writer uses the quote(引号) at the beginning of the story to .
A. tell us a truth about our lives
B. tell us what life was like long time ago
C. point out what causes such a thing to happen
D. point out some problems we will meet in life
32.In the passage, the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions .
A. have speeded up our lives
B. may bring people some trouble
C. may make people feel very happy
D. have improved the quality of our lives

A. they loved to live simple lives
B. they were troubled by modern inventions
C. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
D. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions
34.According to the passage, which is NOT right?
A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.
B. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.
C. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.
D. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.

What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120, 000 kilometers of railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Newspapers will come to an end in 2043.In the future, digital(数字的) newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through the Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源).
Schools will go electronic(电子的). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students' library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, who will check homework on computers and communicate with the students' parents through email. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic（仿生的）Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly—by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next.
Self-driving Cars
Unlike a human driver a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探测器）and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars. This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller. You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
41. Which of the following payments is not mentioned in this passage?
A. Cash B. Wechat Pay C. Alipay D. Credit card
42. Bionic eyes send information to the________.
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
43. From the report, we can learn some information about________.
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journey
C. science and technology D. culture and art
44. The passage tells us that________.
A. bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films
B. the blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future
C. self-driving cars will be influenced by something outside
D. there will be no accidents at all if self-driving cars are used
45. We can infer（推断）that________ from the passage.
A. there would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
B. robots would control the world
C. the blind could use glasses to see things around
D. we would live a hard life with digital money
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是科学家认为10—30年后最有可能发生的几件事情：盲人会有仿生眼；数字货币；无人驾驶车。
41.细节理解题。根据“We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it.”可知，这里提到了现金，微信支付，支付宝支付，没有提到信用卡支付，故选D。
42.细节理解题。根据“but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind.”可知，仿生眼可以使用相机“看到”环境，并向大脑发送信息。故选A。
43.细节理解题。综合全文的“仿生眼”“数字货币”“无人驾驶车”可知，这些都和科学技术有关，故选C。
44.推理判断题。根据“A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.”（拥有清晰图像的仿生眼可能会在几年内问世）可推断，佩戴仿生眼的盲人将来可能看得更清楚，故选B。
45.推理判断题。根据“ In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.”（在未来，无人驾驶汽车将被广泛接受）可推断，路上将会有很多无人驾驶的汽车，故选A。
