2.were asked 句意为:城市规划者和太空及建筑学方面的专家被要求就2200年的生活给出他们的想法。 设空处为句子谓语,ask与主语之间是被动关系,根据语境和下文中的said可知,动作发生在过去,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语是复数,故填were asked。
3.from be different from为固定搭配,意为“与……不同”。故填from。
4.and  句意为:他们也提到,二十多年前人们想象不出因特网和智能手机会怎样改变我们的生活。由下一句中的both可知the Internet与the smartphone之间是并列关系。故填and。

体裁:说明文 题材:科技发展
[辽宁2021新高考联合调研]As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth.Through our dialogue and digital pieces, AI (artificial intelligence) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities of language and slight differences in human conversation is, however, one hurdle (难关). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulty are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communication.But these are just initial steps in AI’s long journey.

Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into our everyday life. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when the school is cancelled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like to have your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.

体裁:说明文 题材:科学与技术
In the far, far future, bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer (飞碟). Imagine a race between them!
There may be telepathic (心灵感应的) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just have a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can get in on!
What about the food of the future Scientists think that much of it will be artificial—made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.
The future hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.

What about highways of the future Well, a very small child probably will be able to “drive” a car. Nobody will need to drive in person. Electronic signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won’t even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will brake the cars. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.
But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes (圆顶) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won’t have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the weatherman thinks it is necessary to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm.
The future should be a wonderful time to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.

What will man be like in the future How about 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that future man will be different from what we are like today. __1__
Let’s give an example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than today. Now, on average, man is about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may guess that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and finally we shall need even larger ones! __2__ The head, the forehead in particular, will grow larger.
__3__ In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. __4__ At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, we are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all these give the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! __5__ Future man will still be human beings, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
A.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.
B.This probably brings about mental changes.
C.These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker.
D.This is likely to bring about physical changes, too.
E.That’s because man is slowly changing all the time.
F.As a result, future man will have little in common with us.
G.In spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人类未来可能发生的变化。
1.E 根据设空处前一句中的we can be sure that future man will be different from what we are like today可知,人类在未来的样子将不同于今天,下文中的Let’s give an example.及其后的内容举例说明了人类将发生的变化,由此可推断所填句子在这里起承上启下的作用,故E项(那是因为人类一直在慢慢变化着)符合语境。
2.D 根据设空处后一句The head, the forehead in particular, will grow larger.可知,此处指身体上的变化,与D项中的physical changes相呼应。故选D项。
3.A 设空处后的两句介绍了人类的眼睛可能会发生的变化,与A项中的eyes相呼应。故选A项。
4.C 根据本段内容可知,使用较多的身体部位的功能会变得更强大,比如眼睛和手指;而使用较少的身体部位的功能将会变弱,比如胳膊和腿。C项中的These 指代前一句中的arms and legs,且weaker与前文中的stronger相呼应,符合语境。
5.G 根据设空处后的Future man will still be human beings中的still可知,这里要表达的是,尽管未来
的人类有了这些变化,但他们和我们仍然有很多共同点。未来的人类仍然是在思想和情感上与我们相
似的人。G项符合语境,故选G项。

2.C 根据下文中的He notes down my ________ and gives me a prescription.可知,开处方的应该是医生。
3.B 根据上文内容及空后的gives me a prescription并结合常识可知,作者去了医院,此处应该表示机器人医生记录了作者的症状,并给作者开了处方。symptom意为“症状”。
4.C 句意为:这是我对未来糟糕的构想,至少现在还没有发生。根据上文中的This is my terrible vision of the future可知,这是作者对未来的幻想,所以至少现在还没有发生。at most意为“至多”;at last意为“最后”;at least意为“至少”;at intervals意为“不时”。

体裁:记叙文 题材:优秀品行
[黑龙江八校2021高二月考]Peter Shankman travels for a living, delivering speeches round the country.The last thing he wants to do in his spare time is travel from his home to New York.
So for the fifth year in a row, Shankman is donating hundreds of thousands of miles to people in need—those who can’t afford to buy a flight ticket, but are worried sick about loved ones, or a parent who would like to see a faraway child.
Shankman posts his contest on the social media site Imgur, and other Imgur users select winners of Shankman’s miles according to their stories. After the initial year of the giveaway, other travellers started seeing Shankman’s posts on Imgur and began donating their miles to his contest, multiplying the gift.
One of those donors is Rhys Ford, whose reason for donating her extra miles to Shankman’s “Home for the Holidays” giveaway is simple and sincere. “There are many of us who have so much, and there are others who are far away from their family and can’t make it back for financial reasons,” she said.

Shankman said one of the big advantages of giving away his miles is that it allows him to pass down a lesson on giving to his son. Shankman’s goal, he said, is to help children and adults with ADHD (注意缺陷障碍) realise that they are not broken, but gifted.
“They just need to learn how to channel and use that power. I have ADHD, but I believe it is a huge part of my success,” said Shankman.
“People ask me how I verify the stories of people who win the free miles.” Shankman said. “And I tell them, ‘I can’t.’ But if someone goes to all this trouble to get a free trip somewhere, maybe this will help him in some ways. As long as my miles keep adding up, I'’m going to continue to give them away.”

体裁:说明文 题材:科普知识
[安徽宿州十三所重点中学2021高二期中联考]Scientists say they have found out a chemical produced by locusts (蝗虫) that causes the insects to join together in huge swarms (群).
On their own, locusts are mostly harmless. But in large swarms, they can be extremely destructive. The new finding could lead to new methods of preventing locusts from joining swarms to destroy huge areas of crops.
A recent study published in Nature identifies a pheromone (信息素) believed to be responsible for the insects’ swarming behaviour. A pheromone is a chemical item produced by an animal that influences the behaviour of another animal of the same kind.
The pheromone, known as 4VA, was found in the world’s most widespread kind of locust, the migratory locust. It powerfully drew locusts of both sexes and all ages, the research found. And it was produced when as few as four to five locusts came together.
Part Ⅲ 单元限时作业
Exercise 1 刷阅读理解
Lead researcher Kang Le is with the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology. He told Reuters News Agency that migratory locusts are so widespread and dangerous that they represent “a serious threat to agriculture worldwide”. Kang said further research would be needed to find out if 4VA exists in other locust species, such as the desert locust.
Kang said a chemical could be developed to block 4VA’s effects to prevent swarming. A man made version of the pheromone might also be developed to attract locusts into traps to be killed. Locusts could also be developed with genetic changes that would not react to 4VA, Kang added. Such locusts could be sent to the wild to build wild non swarming populations.
Leslie Vosshall, head of The Rockefeller University’s Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior in New York, said one of the most exciting developments would be finding a chemical that could block the reception of 4VA. She noted that there are still several unknowns about the research. These include whether 4VA is the only cause locust species respond similarly to the chemical.

1.What is the new finding of the study
A.New methods could be used to stop locusts from swarming.
B.Locusts do not cause much damage on their own.
C.A large number of locusts can destroy the crops terribly.
D.Locusts swarm because of a chemical produced by themselves.
2.What can we learn about the pheromone
A.It only exists in the migratory locusts.
B.It is made at least in groups of forty locusts.
C.It is to blame for the locusts’ swarming.
D.It affects the behaviour of other animals.

·Track your time.
In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going. __2__ Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results.

·Entertainment time matters.
The point of producing more time for yourself is not that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or staring at a TV screen. __5__ It is fine in moderation (适度)—but aim for more “active” entertainment that can produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, or exercising.

4.G 根据本段小标题 Reshape your workday.和上文中的Multiply those time savings over the course of a year.可知,G项(你就在你的日程表上创建了大量的空余)符合语境。
5.F 根据本段小标题Entertainment time matters.和空前的The point of producing more time for yourself is not that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or staring at a TV screen.以及空后的aim for more “active” entertainment可知,创造出的大把时间并不应该耗费在手机游戏或电视屏幕上,而应该花在更积极的
娱乐上,F项中的“passive” entertainment指的是“玩智能手机游戏或盯着电视屏幕”,且与下文中的
“active” entertainment相对应,故F项(那是典型的消极娱乐)符合语境。
