八、阅读理解
A
Robots seem very new to some people，but in fact they have a long history. The first robot was made by a Greek inventor(发明家).You may often see robots in lots of movies. The robots in the movies are stronger，faster and cleverer than people. In real life，most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous，difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example，some people can't see. They use dogs to help themselves move around. These dogs are called guide dogs. Scientists are making robots to help them. In the future，robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital，a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system(系统).
In the future，robots will work in space. Robots will never take the place of humans，though they can help us in a lot of different ways.
1. People can often see stronger， faster and cleverer robots ________.
A. in space B. in all hospitals C. on the streets D. in the movies
2. In real life，most robots work ________.
A. in factories B. for the sick people C. at homes D. for scientists
3. The underlined phrase “take the place of” means ________.
A. 占位 B. 获胜 C. 代替 D. 发生
4. Robots can't get lost in hospitals，because ________.
A. they walk after the doctors B. they can ask people the way
C. they have a map in their hands D. their computer system helps them
5. From the passage we know that ________.
A. robots are still very new to some people
B. the first robot was invented by an American many years ago
C. most robots work as guides for people
D. robots can work in space now
B
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 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.
1.Which of the following payments is NOT mentioned in this passage
A. Cash. B. WeChat Pay. C. Alipay. D. Credit cards.
2.Bionic eyes send information to the .
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
3.From the report, we can learn some information about .
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journeys
C. science and technology D. culture and art
4.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
5.What can we infer 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.

八、阅读理解
A
Robots seem very new to some people，but in fact they have a long history. The first robot was made by a Greek inventor(发明家).You may often see robots in lots of movies. The robots in the movies are stronger，faster and cleverer than people. In real life，most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous，difficult or boring jobs. Some people can't look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example，some people can't see. They use dogs to help themselves move around. These dogs are called guide dogs. Scientists are making robots to help them. In the future，robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital，a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people's rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system(系统).
In the future，robots will work in space. Robots will never take the place of humans，though they can help us in a lot of different ways.

B
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 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.
1.Which of the following payments is NOT mentioned in this passage
A. Cash. B. WeChat Pay. C. Alipay. D. Credit cards.
2.Bionic eyes send information to the .
A. mind B. camera C. computer D. heart
3.From the report, we can learn some information about .
A. industry and farming B. traffic and journeys
C. science and technology D. culture and art
4.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
5.What can we infer 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】DACBA
【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:仿生眼;数字货币;无人驾驶汽车。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“…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。
3.C 推理判断题。综合全文对“仿生眼”“数字货币”“无人驾驶汽车”的介绍可知,这些都和科学技术有关,故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just 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很清楚,故选B。
5.A 推理判断题。根据最后一句“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汽车,故选A。

People will eat a balanced diet. We won't eat meat or junk food. We will eat more fruit and vegetables. Each family will have a computer. Students won't go to school.

In a word，our life will be much better in the future. Do you think so
