【考点25】living in the US意为“居住在美国的”，是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰people，相当于定语从句who are living in the US。现在分词分词表主动和动作正在进行，有形容词的特征，在句中可作定语。一般来说，单个的现在分词作定语常常放在所修饰词之前；现在分词短语作定语放在所修饰词之后。如：
Don’t wake the sleeping child. 不要吵醒熟睡的孩子。
The girl cleaning the window is Sally. 正在檫窗户的女孩是萨利。

A city without cars would be very strange, right But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
　　Even so, travel isn’t that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made ice of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋)melt(融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

C.Scientists can solve the problems easily.
D.Some possible ways help to solve the problem.

The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列剧)was shown on NBC last night.Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飞船)which travels faster than the speed of light.The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century.First,we’ll find other life forms in our galaxy(星系).Second,we won’t fight with these aliens.And third,we’ll have great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let’s think about these predictions.If we find life forms on other planets,will they be intelligent I hope so.But we human beings might not be friendly—I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now.But this is science fiction,so we can be optimistic!And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is a lot of fun.For example,we’ll be able to talk to each other with hand-held‘communicators’.And we will be able to have conversations with people who are on different planets,on a huge TV screen.You won’t have to use a pen and paper to write because you’ll have an electronic notebook.And if you get ill,the doctor won’t have to examine you—a machine will‘read your body.The strangest machine includes a ‘telepor which will take people to a different place in a second!
The ideas are interesting,and in my opinion there’s only one problem with Star Trek:the acting.The TV company (公司)will have to get better actors.If they do that,the show might be a success.If the acting doesn’t improve,Star Trek won’t last for more than one series.Of course,my prediction may be wrong.I can’t see into the future!
1.What is Star Trek
A.A TV play. B.A popular song.
C.A spacecraft. D.An alien.
2.What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean
A.Lucky and happy. B.Hopeful and confident.
C.Helpful and creative. D.Thankful and popular.
3.What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek
A.The life forms on other planets are stupid.
B.Interesting ideas make a new series popular.
C.The new series might not be successful without better actors.
D.Our life in the future might be different with the help of aliens.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage
A.Aliens on Other Planets.
B.The Idea of Human Life.
C.A Science Fiction.
D.A New Series about Future.
1.【答案】A　
【解析】细节理解题。由文章第一句话中的a new science-fiction series“一部新的科幻系列剧”可知,这是一个电视节目。
2.【答案】B　
【解析】词义猜测题。结合前文可知这里表示“我不认为一百年后我们还会信奉和平,但这是科幻片,所以我们可以乐观些”,故B项符合题意。
3.【答案】C　
【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段可知C项正确。
4.【答案】D　
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文,可以发现,本文主要是讲一部有关未来的新的系列剧。
