3. 过去进行时表示在过去某一个动作发生时，另一个动作也正在发生，如例句4、5。

否定回答：No, 主语+ was / were + not.

范文赏析
Life in the future
Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be like
In the future, we will go to the moon for a holiday. We can live under the sea. Maybe we will have videophones in every home, through which we can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our home. Besides, there’s no need for children to go to school every day and they will stay at home, learning and studying on the Internet. What’s more, each family will have a robot. Every day all we need to do is to tell the robot what to do, such as washing dishes, making the bed and cleaning the windows.
I believe the dream will come true some day.

2. 过去进行时表示过去某一段时间内持续的动作，常与those days，the whole morning，from 7:00 to 9:00 yesterday evening等时间状语连用，如例句2。
3. 过去进行时表示在过去某一个动作发生时，另一个动作也正在发生，如例句4、5。

肯定回答：Yes, 主语+ was / were.
否定回答：No, 主语+ was / were + not.
【拓展】当主句的谓语动词是过去进行时，while引导的时间状语从句谓语动词必须是延续性动词，且用过去进行时。而when引导的时间状语从句谓语动词既可以是短暂性动词，也可以是延续性动词。如果是延续性动词，用过去进行时；如果是短暂性动词，则用一般过去时。例如：
1) He was playing games when / while I was singing songs. (sing 是延续性动词)
2) When I came into the room, he was drawing a picture. (come是短暂性动词)

Life in the future
Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be like
In the future, we will go to the moon for a holiday. We can live under the sea. Maybe we will have videophones in every home, through which we can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our home. Besides, there’s no need for children to go to school every day and they will stay at home, learning and studying on the Internet. What’s more, each family will have a robot. Every day all we need to do is to tell the robot what to do, such as washing dishes, making the bed and cleaning the windows.
I believe the dream will come true some day.

Work in our city of the future
With the development of technology, work in our city of the future will change a lot.
In our city of the future, most people will work six hours a day and three days a week. And there will be fewer offices in the future because most people will work at home by computer. What's more, there will be fewer workers in factories because most work will be done by robots. Most importantly, there will be many new types of work in the future such as robot designers, space tour guides and so on. Therefore, you don't need to worry about getting a job.
As for me, I hope to work as a space tour guide so that I can travel from one planet to another planet.中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台

Self-driving cars are believed to be the future of panies including Toyota, Uber and Google are all competing to be the first to bring them to market.
However, car makers need to solve one problem first: How driverless cars communicate with passers-by, bikers and other drivers. Most drivers today use gestures to show their purposes. They wave a car into a lane(车道), or nod at passers-by and cyclists, to let them cross the street. But self-driving cars don't have this ability. What can they do US carmaker Ford and its partner Virginia Tech think they have the answer, reported Business Insider. The team is testing a method that uses light signals to show what self-driving cars are doing. For example, if a driverless car is yielding, it could flash two white lights side to side. A solid white light tells there are no humans in the car. A slow blinking light shows the car is coming to a stop. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up. To test the method on real roads, the team designed a special suit that looks exactly like a car seat. When a driver wears it, it appears to people that the car is really driverless. The team then successfully got more than 1,500 hours of data after about 2,900 kilometres of “self-driving” through busy cities. The data recorded how people interacted with a driverless vehicle. Ford says they plan to share the data with 11 other companies, reported . The company wants to work with other carmakers to design a signaling system that would be understood by all.
( ) 11. What are considered to be the future of driving
A. Flying cars. B. Driverless cars. C. Energy-saving cars. D. Electric cars.
( ) 12. What’s the problem of driverless cars
A. Communicating with people. B. Not having enough seatbelts.
C. Driving into a lane. D. Crossing a street.
( ) 13. What does the underlined word “yielding” refer to
A. 加速 B. 减速 C. 让路 D. 超车
( ) 14. According to Ford and Virginia Tech, how might the problem be solved
A. Flashing light signals. B. Sending information to smartphones.
C. Designing special suits for drivers. D. Only driving in small cities.
( ) 15. Which of the following shows the car will speed up
A. A solid white light. B. A slow blinking light.
C. A fast flashing light. D. No lights.

Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms”.
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far
Bertha: It’s not the worst planet I’ve ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens—oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They’re not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um … wow. That’s just …
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty (王室成员) and presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.
Me: Well, what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to pitch in (投入) a little, to be a good guest
Bertha: It’s odd to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you’d agree with me. That’s another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: Do you know the reason Bertha I'm starting to see why you're so unhappy here on Earth. You’re just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled alien.
( ) 16. Who is hosting the interview

( ) 18. What’s Aziza’s attitude towards Bertha
A. Proud of Bertha. B. Interested in Zademol.
C. Dissatisfied with Bertha. D. Scared of Bertha's words.
( ) 19. What might Aziza write in his diary about the interview
A. Talking to Bertha was great fun. I now know much about Zademol.
B. We should try to improve our Earth as Berthas hometown is much better.
C. The interview was interesting. But I dislike the family Bertha is staying with.
D. It was an unusual interview, and an unexpected experience as well.
( ) 20. What can we learn from the passage
A. Being boastful will win us few friends.
B. There are many good reasons to be boastful.
C. People who boast a lot are better than others.
D. Boasting a lot is a good way to get people to like us.

Space technology Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的)advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.
Underwater robot Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.
The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month.

第三节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
下面的材料A~F分别介绍了六个不同的旅游景点。请根据Carina, Daisy, Alexander, Sammy, Nancy五位旅游者的信息，帮助他们选择合适的旅游景点，并将其标号填入题前括号内。
A. Agra Fort
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress(堡垒) of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5-km-long enclosure walls, the imperial(帝国的) city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises(由……构成) many fairy-tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very beautiful mosques(清真寺).
B. Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that its architectural(建筑学的) beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument(陵墓) built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers(统治者) of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C. E. at a cost of 32 million Rupees(卢币).
C. Keoladeo National Park
This former duck-hunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic(水栖的) birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some species of birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
D. Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi
This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent(印度次大陆). It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating(达到……顶峰) in the construction of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the red-and-white sandstone and black-and-yellow marble tomb of Humayun’s wife and the tomb of Humayun’s barber.
E. Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States—and one of the wonders of the world. Much of the park’s beauty is related to its geology and ecology(生态). Schmidt explores the shape of the land, its plants and animals, and its human history. A fascinating book that everyone visiting the Grand Canyon should read. The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West is really exciting.
F. Sundarbans National Park
The Sundarbans covers 10,000 square kilometres of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove(红树) forests. A number of rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles(爬行动物).
( ) 31. Carina is fond of art and likes travelling very much. In order to take part in the following exhibition, she wants to take some photos of birds from all over the world, especially the rare Siberian crane. In the meanwhile, she doesn't want to spend too much money.

Today we had a discussion about the life in the future in the English class. Many students in our class look forward to the future life. They think that the world will be a better place than it is now and our lives will be greatly improved. As a result, people will live longer.
However, other students are worried about the future. They believe that the world will become more crowded. Therefore, we will have even more environmental problems.
But in my opinion, I think we will find ways to solve the problems and everyone will live more happily in the future.
