Mason has seen the future—and it's fun.
Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our life easier by doing the
work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a floor cleaning machine that's built
into the wall. It can clean up the floor.
When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce, an
expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of
the boring work, freeing us to relax. "More than just fun, future kitchens
will be environmentally friendly," he says. A new system will be built in
the house which can recycle energy lost from your kitchen to make the whole
home warm.
"The fridge will be the centre of the
home," says Daniel, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen (触摸屏幕) where you can
watch TV, surf the Internet, check your emails, keep a shopping list and order
vegetables. "Your fridge is the first place you go to in the morning and
the last place at night," says Daniel.
"I wonder why a 1.9-metre man and
1.6-metre woman have to cook meals on counters (柜台) of the same height," Jane
Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines, says. "But times have changed. We
have made a new counter where you can press a button and it moves to whatever
height you want."
Ted Selker has made the dish maker which
lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the
dishes are changed straight back into plastics.

A．work on a counter
B．use your fridge to clean it

people may be healthier.

sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.

【答案】heard；receives；in；rise；tried；However；be；many；healthy；it
【知识点】语法填空；人文地理类；记叙文

（3）句意：人们喜欢去这个地方，尤其是在6月，因为他们想在一年中最长的一天看到太阳升起。 June，六月，在某一月份用介词in，故填in。

grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops.

I
believe aliens really exist. …
【答案】I believe aliens really exist. They live on other planets. They usually have a big head, a pair of big eyes and a short figure. They look weak, but actually they are very strong. Their life is quite different from ours. We humans must drink water and need air to live but they don't. They can live without eating for a long time. They don't even need to sleep so they have more time to study and play. We take bikes, cars, trains or planes to other places. Aliens take a UFO to where they want to go.
