Module 1 Life in the Future A卷
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting, as well as having the largest number of tigers in India. In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc.
Location: In the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh state. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access to the park.
Opening Hours and Safari(游猎) Times
Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid-afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p. m. to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 because of the monsoon season (季风季节).
Bandhavgarh Zones
Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park's best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers) and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).
Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris
Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When you are going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people). From 2015 to 2016, park entry tickets5 costs were as follows:
Tala Zone: 2, 400 rupees for Indians, 4, 800 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)
Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)
Jeep Hire
Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can organize jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. There's much less trouble in this way though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.
1. What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for
A. Species of bears. B. Lots of tigers.
C. Beautiful birds. D. A number of wolves.
2. How much should five Americans pay for entry to the Magdhi zone in 2016
A. 1,200 rupees. B. 2,400 rupees.
C. 4,800 rupees. D. 6,000 rupees.
3. What can we know about jeep hire in the park from the passage

B. Hiring jeeps from hotels costs less money.
C. Tourists can only hire one jeep from the park.
D. Jeep hire fees are included in the entry cost.

Futurologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050, Instead, people will choose a programme from a "menu"(菜单) and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Todays we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050,music,films,programmes,newspapers and books will come to us by computer. We will also be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean "gas" and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots —they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050,we will see robots everywhere —in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050. we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to produce clones(克隆) of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.
1.What is NOT true about television by 2050 according to this passage
A.One will be able to smell the food on television.
B.One can have a try of the food you see on television.

Finding true love can be pretty tough for a lot of people but a lady from a fairly well-known San Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $ 10, 000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.
The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 pm on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After alK if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different But instead of going out and meeting new people, she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $ 10, 000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.
"I'm writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever," the woman writes in her email. "Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that." " You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her "closest friends" with cold hard cash.
"I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.
Here is how the program works:
Step 1 : You set me up on a date with a man.
Step 2 : I marry that man.
Step 3:1 give you $ 10,000 on my wedding day.
I know you're thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy,' You can find a husband without giving $ 10,000.' Well for starters, thank you! I'm happy."
1.How did the best-selling book influence her
A.By teaching her that she needed to take an active attitude to life.
B.By teaching her that she must try her best to find a better job.
C.By advising that she should give away $ 10,000 to her friends.
D.By advising that she should be active in finding her husband.
2.What s the purpose of the author's mentioning getting a better job in Paragraph 2
A.To simply compare it with finding a husband.
B.To stress the importance of taking a positive attitude.
C.To show that waiting patiently is necessary to get a job.
D.To state that we need to be patient before a job is offered.
3.What does the underlined word "nuts" in the last paragraph mean
A.Interesting.

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic " Well, which type of bag would you choose
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don't seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do How should we answer the question of "Paper or plastic " It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: "What can I do to help the environment "
1. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to _____.
A. introduce the point for discussion B. tell readers how to save money
C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier
2. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _____.
A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle
C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests
3. What does the underlined word "discarded" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Share. B. Put forward. C. Discuss. D. Give up.
4. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask
A. Paper or cloth B. A new bag or your own one
C. A small bag or big one D. Paper or plastic

15 , flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and family, and also taking much-needed time for yourself.

One Saturday morning, Jeremy woke up to a quiet house. Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, but not today. At the sound of his mom coughing, Jeremy knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern, "Mom, are you ok " "Honey," Mom said weakly. "I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal (燕麦) for breakfast and watch cartoons. I'm going to stay in bed."
Jeremy poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Jeremy help First, he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do Jeremy thought. Saturday was the day when mom did laundry.
Jeremy loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket, inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks. Jeremy opened the door to the washer and put the clothing inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said "START."
Jeremy looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble around. That was easy! Jeremy watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep. That meant the washing was done. Jeremy opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer. Everything seemed clean, and Jeremy felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket.

答案：
But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. "Where did it come from " Jeremy wondered, reaching into the washer to take out more clothes. Then much to his astonishment, he pulled out two T-shirts, both in light pink. Realizing there was something wrong, Jeremy stood frozen, his heart sinking. While racking his brain for reasons, he caught sight of the red socks, and it suddenly occurred to him that they must be to blame for the accident. With no means of handling the situation, Jeremy was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom. "That isn't a positive approach to the problem," he reminded himself. Finally, he decided to dry and fold the laundry before telling his mom everything.
Holding the neatly folded pink dress, Jeremy nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again. After what seemed like ages, he came to the bedside, his head drooping. Sensing his son's unease, his mother inquired with concern what was wrong. "Sorry mom, I shouldn't have ruined your favorite dress." Jeremy apologized. Stuttering out the mistake he had made, he was ready to get a good scolding for his wrongdoing. Realizing what's going on, mom smiled understandingly at Jeremy, "Never mind, dear. I know you meant to help." Then mom held the dress up before her and said in an approving tone, "You know what I think it looks nice." At this Jeremy beamed with relief, making a silent vow to be more careful in helping his mom out next time.

Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting, as well as having the largest number of tigers in India. In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc.
Location: In the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh state. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access to the park.
Opening Hours and Safari(游猎) Times
Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid-afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p. m. to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 because of the monsoon season (季风季节).
Bandhavgarh Zones
Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park's best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers) and Khitauli (scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding).
Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris
Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When you are going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people). From 2015 to 2016, park entry tickets5 costs were as follows:
Tala Zone: 2, 400 rupees for Indians, 4, 800 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)
Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400 rupees for foreigners. (Up to six people)
Jeep Hire
Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can organize jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. There's much less trouble in this way though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.

Futurologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050, Instead, people will choose a programme from a "menu"(菜单) and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Todays we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050,music,films,programmes,newspapers and books will come to us by computer. We will also be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean "gas" and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots —they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050,we will see robots everywhere —in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050. we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to produce clones(克隆) of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.
1.What is NOT true about television by 2050 according to this passage

Finding true love can be pretty tough for a lot of people but a lady from a fairly well-known San Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $ 10, 000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.
The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 pm on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After alK if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit outside an employer's building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different But instead of going out and meeting new people, she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $ 10, 000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduce her to her future husband.
"I'm writing you today because I've decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever," the woman writes in her email. "Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that." " You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her "closest friends" with cold hard cash.
"I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.
Here is how the program works:
Step 1 : You set me up on a date with a man.
Step 2 : I marry that man.
Step 3:1 give you $ 10,000 on my wedding day.
I know you're thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy,' You can find a husband without giving $ 10,000.' Well for starters, thank you! I'm happy."
1.How did the best-selling book influence her
A.By teaching her that she needed to take an active attitude to life.
B.By teaching her that she must try her best to find a better job.
C.By advising that she should give away $ 10,000 to her friends.
D.By advising that she should be active in finding her husband.

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic " Well, which type of bag would you choose
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don't seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do How should we answer the question of "Paper or plastic " It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: "What can I do to help the environment "
1. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to _____.
A. introduce the point for discussion B. tell readers how to save money
C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier
2. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags _____.
A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle
C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests
3. What does the underlined word "discarded" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Share. B. Put forward. C. Discuss. D. Give up.
4. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask
A. Paper or cloth B. A new bag or your own one
C. A small bag or big one D. Paper or plastic

One Saturday morning, Jeremy woke up to a quiet house. Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, but not today. At the sound of his mom coughing, Jeremy knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern, "Mom, are you ok " "Honey," Mom said weakly. "I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal (燕麦) for breakfast and watch cartoons. I'm going to stay in bed."
Jeremy poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Jeremy help First, he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do Jeremy thought. Saturday was the day when mom did laundry.
Jeremy loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket, inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks. Jeremy opened the door to the washer and put the clothing inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said "START."
Jeremy looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble around. That was easy! Jeremy watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep. That meant the washing was done. Jeremy opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer. Everything seemed clean, and Jeremy felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress.

⑤考查时间状语从句。句意:随着人口的增长,人们开始把食物切成小块,这样可以煮得快一点,这里是时间状语从句,when意为"当……时候",后跟长动作或短动作,故填as/when。
⑥考查副词。副词修饰动词或形容词,这里修饰动词短语turned into,应该用副词,故填gradually。
⑦考查非限制性定语从句。剧中有逗号,说明是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Confucius筷子,定语从句缺少主语,且指人,故填who。
⑧考查词性转换。the+名词+of,意为"……的……",这里指"筷子的发展",故填development。
⑨考查时态。根据句意可知,这里指的是刀子因太暴力而不适合在餐桌上使用,believed后跟一个宾语从句,and连接了两个并列的谓语,主语knives是复数,根据时态一致的原则,这里用一般过去时,故填were。
⑩考查介词。句意:在印度,大部分人还是用传统的吃饭方法——用手拿,with+表示具体工具的名词,故填with。

第二节
答案：
But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. "Where did it come from " Jeremy wondered, reaching into the washer to take out more clothes. Then much to his astonishment, he pulled out two T-shirts, both in light pink. Realizing there was something wrong, Jeremy stood frozen, his heart sinking. While racking his brain for reasons, he caught sight of the red socks, and it suddenly occurred to him that they must be to blame for the accident. With no means of handling the situation, Jeremy was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom. "That isn't a positive approach to the problem," he reminded himself. Finally, he decided to dry and fold the laundry before telling his mom everything.
Holding the neatly folded pink dress, Jeremy nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again. After what seemed like ages, he came to the bedside, his head drooping. Sensing his son's unease, his mother inquired with concern what was wrong. "Sorry mom, I shouldn't have ruined your favorite dress." Jeremy apologized. Stuttering out the mistake he had made, he was ready to get a good scolding for his wrongdoing. Realizing what's going on, mom smiled understandingly at Jeremy, "Never mind, dear. I know you meant to help." Then mom held the dress up before her and said in an approving tone, "You know what I think it looks nice." At this Jeremy beamed with relief, making a silent vow to be more careful in helping his mom out next time.
