What would you do if you could see into the future?And more importantly,what would you do if you weren’t happy with what you saw?These are the questions explored in Disney’s movie,Tomorrowland.

Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey as she follows her curiosity down a path of adventure and danger.When a strange sign shows an alternate(交替的) reality,Casey begins a magical journey into another world.As she struggles to make sense of this new world,Casey meets a scientist named Frank.Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between time and space:Tomorrowland. 
According to Britt Robertson,the entire movie has been filled with secrecy.In fact,she had to audition(试镜) many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script(剧本).Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.“I always think about going green and trying to help the world with things I can do,” she told TFK.“I think the greatest things we can do to help are simple things.The small stuff counts.”
Robertson auditioned for it for a very long time before she even read the script.Once she read the script,she just loved how full the story was.She was satisfied with it.She felt happy,like she had just been on an adventurous ride.She was also sad,joyful,and hopeful.She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person.She was very happy when she found out she got the role.It felt like all her hard work paid off.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了迪士尼影片《明日世界》,影片中的大眼睛姑娘给观众留下了深刻的印象,她就是凯西的扮演者布丽特妮·罗伯森。
24.What do we know about Britt Robertson from the passage?
A.She could see into the future.

A.Enter.　　　　　　　　B.Know.
C.Cover. D.Miss.
答案B

B.Be sure to do many great things.
C.Small things are simple things.

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.That is,generally,younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.
It is not always the case,though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars,there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car.In a study last year,of all people surveyed,48 percent said they wanted to ride in one,while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them,every age group is similarly involved.
Actually,this isn’t surprising.Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies,driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults,especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own,are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars,differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age.College graduates,for example,are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education.59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters,too.More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board,a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale,the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新科技——无人驾驶汽车。这项科技受到各个年龄段的人的欢迎。
28.What happens when a new technology appears?

Studies have shown most people fail to realise how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test,using a free app called “Moment-screen Time Tracker”.The Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe,and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly,I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said.Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank,according to the app.While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone,Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him.The children’s times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families.Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once,‘Do you have to be on your phone right now?Can you please put your phone down?Did you hear what I said?’ it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.“What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,”she said.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,很多人没有意识到自己每天花费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
32.How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results?
A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Astonished.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.”可知,Vascellaro一家对这个测试结果感到惊讶,他们没有想到自己每天花费那么多的时间使用手机。
33.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5?
A.To encourage people to live a simple life.
B.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
C.To show the importance of close relationships.
D.To ask people if they use phones too much.
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第四段中“Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.”可知,Lind Seal提出这三个问题是为了说明我们过多使用手机。
34.What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.We should make more face-to-face communication.
B.We can understand each other better using smartphones.
C.Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.
D.Smartphone usage improves the teens’ emotional skills.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.”和引述的话可知,我们应该多进行面对面的交流。
35.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary.　　　　　　B.A guidebook.
C.A novel. D.A magazine.
答案D
解析推理判断题。通读全文,本文从一项研究入手,讲述人们对手机的依赖,最后建议人们应该进行更多的面对面的交流,故此篇文章最有可能来自杂志。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life.　36　By 2050,some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life. 
By the middle of the century,it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk” to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on.　37　Instead,a lot of networks will appear,which can be compared to a human nervous system.In the next 30 years,buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials.All of them can heal themselves at that time.　38　there will be a need for new kinds of elevators,through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings.German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi. 
By mid-century,scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall.Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities.By comparison,at present,the world’s tallest building,the Burj Khalifa in Dubai,measures 829.8 metres high.　39　their windows will be replaced by virtual screens.In this way,people can choose any view as they like. 
At height extremes,a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2050 as the space industry develops very quickly.There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible.　40　 

A.As cities are being very crowded,
B.As a result,there will be no switches.
C.As the future building can rise through the clouds,
D.As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings,
E.They are predicting how we will travel,work and live in the next 30 years.
F.Therefore,a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km,using carbon-based materials.
G.What is more likely,though,is that planes will become smarter and may even become autonomous.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
36.E　根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
37.B　根据上文的“will be able to ‘talk’ to people...when the heating needs to be turned on”可知,B项是上文的结果。
38.D　根据下文的“there will be a need for new kinds of elevators...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
39.C　根据下文的“their windows”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“the world’s tallest buildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
40.F　本段提到“a London Spaceport”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且spaceport为同词复现。

As I was　54　 to a friend’s party,I couldn’t help but reflect on the beauty of the day in all of the interactions I had,and then I was just shocked by this full rainbow that I could see right next to my car...like the universe saying “Yeah,you got it!” I will smile to myself for the rest of my life.So much 　55　 in each day.

Professor Wass and his team found inspiration in the processes of the human body.As Professor Wass explains,“If you cut 61.　　　　　 (you) finger,there are mechanisms (结构) that repair that damage.Can we put the self-healing (自愈) functions that we have in an airplane wing?If you do that,you’re not going to repair a huge hole in the airplane wing.What we should be able 62.

When 64.　　　　　 (ask) about other possible applications,Professor Wass says “Bicycle frames (框架) or sports equipment are 65.　　　　　 (general) where you can imagine this being used.” 
答案与解析
【语篇解读】你对科学感兴趣吗?你觉得自我修复技术怎么样?
56.when　考查关系副词。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词moment且在从句中作时间状语,故填when。
57.surprising　考查形容词。设空处作表语,说明主语The ability of non-human things to repair themselves的特征,故填surprising。
58.impression　考查名词。leave a deep impression on...意为“给……留下深刻印象”。
59.an　考查冠词。take an interest in...意为“对……感兴趣”。
60.be used　考查被动语态。material与use之间是被动关系,且设空处前有情态动词could,故填be used。
61.your　考查代词。设空处在此作定语,意为“你的”, 故填your。
62.to repair　考查固定结构。be able to do sth意为“能够做某事”。
63.to　考查介词。lead to 意为“导致,造成”。
64.asked　考查非谓语动词。ask与Professor Wass之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,又因ask表示的动作先于谓语动作发生,故填asked。
65.generally　考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词are,故填副词generally(一般)。

Dear Steven, 
I’m glad that you’re interested in what is happening in China.I’m writing to tell you something about the rubbish classification in my community. 
Rubbish classification not only reduces unnecessary environmental pollution,but also promotes the construction of an environmentally friendly community.But things in my community are not optimistic.Many people throw waste without classifying them properly,which results in great pollution and adds to the burden of workers.I think the government should make the importance of waste classification known to the public and make laws to ban littering,while for individual,we should strengthen our awareness of environmental protection.
What about the rubbish sorting in your country?I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua 
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One weekend in July,Jane and her husband,Tom,had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest.Unfortunately,on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel.By the time they reached the lake,Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow,Jane just walked on for quite a long time.After she had climbed to a high place,she turned around,hoping to see the lake.To her surprise,she saw nothing but forest and,far beyond,a snowcapped mountain top.She suddenly realised that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried.“Help!”
No reply.If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom.Jane kept moving,but the farther she walked,the more confused she became.As night was beginning to fall,Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night.Lying awake in the dark,Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day,hungry and thirsty.She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance.Quickly she followed the sound to a stream.To her great joy,she also saw some berry bushes.She drank and ate a few berries.Never in her life had she tasted anything better.Feeling stronger now,Jane began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream,Jane heard a helicopter.Is that for me?Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.A few minutes later,another helicopter flew overhead.Jane took off her yellow blouse,thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. 
 
 
 
 
It was daybreak when Jane woke up.

But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night.At that moment,she felt a little sad,but she wasn’t so frightened.She reminded herself constantly,“Tom must have called for those helicopters.Maybe he was in one of them and will return soon!I have to guide him tomorrow.”She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream,hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter.She walked and walked,exhausted but full of hope.Suddenly,she spotted a huge flat rock.She managed to climb onto it and waited with patience.The helicopter appeared again.The nearer it got,the more she waved the yellow blouse.To her great joy,the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly.Tom jumped off the helicopter and rushed towards Jane.They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
