第一节、阅读选择(30分)
A
What will happen to humans and other living things in the future When I was a little girl, I often thought about this question and drew pictures of my imaginary future life in my album.
How will people in the future live Perhaps, there will be cities underground, in the air or in the sea, spaceships and undersea trains. With advanced technology, we may even be able to fly on a broom
Living conditions will also certainly change. Just imagine living in a house where it feels like spring all year because of an intelligent thermostat(恒温器). All complicated and boring chores will be done by a robot. Maybe we’ll make the Internet of Things come true. It can automatically remind us to get up, display the weather forecast, control the electrical appliances and make phone calls.
As for travel, it may be possible to travel through time and space freely. What if there were time machines to travel to any time in history If I could use a time machine, I would go to the age of dinosaurs, more and more people would choose dinosaurs as pets-you might even see people walk dinosaurs in the streets.
Maybe one day, riding flying dinosaurs to schools in cities in the sky will be common. Many kinds of creatures, robots and aliens
26. The writer talks about ________ in the future in this passage.
A. Harry Potter and schools B. history lessons and pets
C. living conditions and travel D. seasons and transportation
27. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The robot. B. Weather forecast. C. Internet of Things. D. Intelligent thermostat.
28. What is the best title for this passage

【答案】CCA
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲了作者对于未来生活的畅想。
26.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Living conditions will also certainly change.”和第四段“As for travel, it may be possible to travel through time and space freely.”可知,生活条件必将发生变化,自由穿越时间和空间是可能的。故选C。
27.词义猜测题。根据第三段“Maybe we’ll make the Internet of Things come true. It can automatically remind us to get up…”可知,或许我们将会让物联网变成现实,然后物联网能提醒我们做很多事,因此猜测it代指28.文章标题题。根据第一段“What will happen to humans and other living things in the future ”可推断出,本文主要讲了作者对于未来生活的畅想,最好的标题为“未来的生活”。故选A。

Getting into his office chair, which changes colour to match what he is wearing, he picks up the morning newspaper of yesterday. Written on special paper which can be used again and again, the newspaper continues to rewrite itself with today's headlines. Now it’s time for his big meeting. Oh no! He has left his handwritten notes at home. No problem. The smart pen he used has copied what he wrote.

5G network will allow more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. 5G is expected to download(下载) about 10 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 minute. But with a 4G network, it takes about 10 minutes.
Space tour will be a piece of cake. For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there.
You won’t worry the quality(质量) while shopping online. Some researchers are working on computer screens that can feel a sense of touch when you touch them. “If you’re shopping online for clothes, you could feel fabric(面料).” said Cynthia, an engineer at Texas A&B University, US.
A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do the same things as we humans do, like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will have the ability to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong.

As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.
One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earth-scraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.
Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .
The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.
In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in 2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees and grass.
37.What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space
A.People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.
B.Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.
C.The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.
D.People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.
38.Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico
A.People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.
B.People should have enough living space in the city.
C.People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.
D.People should have buildings within the height requirement.
39.What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A.Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.
B.Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.
C.Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.
D.Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.
40.What is the best title for the passage
A.Cities are building wonderful hotels like Shanghai.
B.Cities are suffering from many problems.
C.Underground cities can grow plants and trees.
D.Underground cities will be the choice of future.
【答案】CCBD
【解析】城市人口逐渐增加,城市规划者开始着眼于地下。未来地下城市将是一种选择。
37.C 细节理解题。根据“As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.”可知随着城市人口增加,城市规划者打算探索地下空间。故选C。
38.C 细节理解题。根据“This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.”可知建筑的要求是提供购物办公生活场所,不能摧毁历史建筑,楼高不能超过八层。故选C。
39.B 主旨大意题。根据“The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices.”可知新加坡是一个小岛城市,面积比较小,他们也想探索地下空间。故选B。
40.D 最佳标题。根据“As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers.”可知人口增加以后,人们想要探索地下空间,本文介绍了各个国家对于地下城市的开发。因此D选项“地下城市将是未来的选择”,符合短文大意。故选D。

A
What will happen to humans and other living things in the future When I was a little girl, I often thought about this question and drew pictures of my imaginary future life in my album.
How will people in the future live Perhaps, there will be cities underground, in the air or in the sea, spaceships and undersea trains. With advanced technology, we may even be able to fly on a broom
Living conditions will also certainly change. Just imagine living in a house where it feels like spring all year because of an intelligent thermostat(恒温器). All complicated and boring chores will be done by a robot. Maybe we’ll make the Internet of Things come true. It can automatically remind us to get up, display the weather forecast, control the electrical appliances and make phone calls.
As for travel, it may be possible to travel through time and space freely. What if there were time machines to travel to any time in history If I could use a time machine, I would go to the age of dinosaurs, more and more people would choose dinosaurs as pets-you might even see people walk dinosaurs in the streets.
Maybe one day, riding flying dinosaurs to schools in cities in the sky will be common. Many kinds of creatures, robots and aliens

With a quick check, his smart computer tells him that the train which travels up to 400 miles an hour will be a bit late too. So he decides to let his small car, which uses clean energy, drive him. It's designed to know the way, and it will get him there without speeding, getting lost, or crashing.
Getting into his office chair, which changes colour to match what he is wearing, he picks up the morning newspaper of yesterday. Written on special paper which can be used again and again, the newspaper continues to rewrite itself with today's headlines. Now it’s time for his big meeting. Oh no!

As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.
One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earth-scraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.
Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .
The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.
In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in 2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees and grass.
37.What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space
A.People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.
B.Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.
C.The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.
D.People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.
38.Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico
A.People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.
B.People should have enough living space in the city.
C.People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.
D.People should have buildings within the height requirement.
39.What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A.Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.
B.Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.
C.Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.
D.Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.
40.What is the best title for the passage
A.Cities are building wonderful hotels like Shanghai.
B.Cities are suffering from many problems.
C.Underground cities can grow plants and trees.
D.Underground cities will be the choice of future.
