(2023山东济南市高二联考)Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life and they are predicting how we will travel，work and live in the next 30 years. By 2048，some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.
By the middle of the century，it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk” to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on. As a result，there will be no switches. Instead，a lot of networks will appear，which can be compared to a human nervous system. In the next 30 years，buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. All of them can heal themselves at that time. As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings，there will be a need for new kinds of elevators，through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.
By mid-century，scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities. By comparison，at present，the world’s tallest building，the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai，measures 828 metres high. As the future building can rise through the clouds，their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. In this way，people can choose any view as they like.
At height extremes，a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible，so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10 km and even as much as 30 km，using carbon-based materials.
21．How will the heating system be controlled in the future
A．Through the net.
B．Through sensors.
C．Through switches.
D．Through mobiles.
22．What might happen to the future buildings in a disaster
A．They can recover by themselves.
B．They can seek help automatically.
C．They can transport people into space.
D．They can protect people against harm.
23．What’s likely to be the advantage of Multi
A．Seeing the scenes as you please.
B．Allowing vehicles to travel into buildings.
C．Connecting the earth with the space.
D．Making it possible to build high buildings.
24．What does the underlined word “they” in the third paragraph most probably refer to
A．Scientists.
B．German engineers.
C．Future buildings.
D．Virtual screens.
【答案】
from
be combined
3．crimes
4．security
5．will be playing
6．will be having
7．shall be writing
8．will be seeing
9．will find
10．will be doing
11．could not help but think of
12．Better not interrupt him
13．will be having a debate/discussion
14．you’ll find
15．will be studying
16．We will be having classes then
17．will be living on space stations
18．will be sitting in the cinema
19．will be giving a speech
20．We will be living in houses and flats
21．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“By the middle of the century，it’s believed that buildings will be able to ‘talk’ to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on.”可知，未来供热系统通过传感器来控制。
22．A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the next 30 years，buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. All of them can heal themselves at that time.”可知，未来建筑在灾难中可以自行恢复。
23．B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings，there will be a need for new kinds of elevators，through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.”可知，Multi的优点是能够让车辆在楼房中穿梭。
24．C 词义猜测题。根据上文中的“...scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. Some of them may be very large...”可知，这里的they指的是future buildings。UNIT 2 Period Three

Ⅰ.七选五
The Man Who Could See the Future
The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov (1920－1992)，one of the greatest science fiction writers of his age，had such a talent.__26__ Now that we’re here，let’s see what he got right.
__27__ Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically，he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here，he clearly predicted our world of smartphones，tablets and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. __28__
How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments？__29__ He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry，but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead，he thought hard about the social implications(影响) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public.
__30__ Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏) of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like GalacticEmpire series(《银河帝国系列》). “His predictions are absolutely fascinating，” Calum Chase，an English writer，told the News. “He was a genius.”
A．As a smart boy，Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five.
B．Space exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable.
C．Back in 1983，he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019．
D．On the role that computing would play in the future，he was amazingly accurate.
E．Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood.
F．As an author，his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.
G．The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。

26．C 上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋”；下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知，空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。故C项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。
27．D 根据下文“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century.”可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色，他惊人准确地预测到了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容符合。
28．G 根据上文“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration.”可知，关于太空探索，他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G项“国际空间站证明了他的预言，我们不仅要拜访太空，还要设法留在那里。”与太空探索相关，且是预测结果。
29．A 根据下文“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store.”可知，他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A项“作为一个聪明的男孩，阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学。”承上启下。
30．F 阅读本段可知，本段主要在说作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题。
31.One possible version：
Good afternoon, boys and girls!
I’d like to share with you my opinions about future life. With the development of science and technology，life will be greatly different in the future.
First，people will be able to do almost everything at home.They’ll just need to give some simple instructions and robots will complete the tasks.Second，each family will have a flying machine.They’ll be able to travel everywhere.Third，our environment will be much better than now，because some effective measures will be taken to protect it.The earth will become a big beautiful garden.
I believe people’s lives will be much easier in the future.

The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction，threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”，according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered，the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals，birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us，for insects are at the heart of every food web. They pollinate(授粉) the large majority of plant species，keep the soil healthy，recycle nutrients，control pests，and much more. Love them or loathe them，we humans cannot survive without insects，” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis，published in the journal BiologicalConservation，says intensive(集约型) agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped，this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind. It is very rapid. In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，” said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo，at the University of Sydney，Australia.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds，reptiles，amphibians and fish that eat insects. “If this food source is taken away，all these animals starve to death，” he said. Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico，where a recent study revealed a 98% fall in ground insects over 35 years.
Matt Shardlow，at the conservation charity Buglife，said: “It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”
8．Why are people worried about the insect decline
A．They are vital to ecosystems. B．They provide food for pests.
C．They pollinate all plants. D．They enrich the soil.
9．What is the main cause of insect losses
A．More and more trees. B．Restrictions on pesticides.
C．Intensive agriculture. D．Friendly environment.
10．Where can you find the general time of insect losses
A．In Paragraph 1．B．In Paragraph 2．C．In Paragraph 3．D．In Paragraph 4．
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Humans Can Survive the Punishment of Nature
B．Insect Declining Is Breaking Nature’s Ecosystems
C．Nature’s Ecosystems Are Influenced by Humans
D．Insects and Animals Are Dying Out in Puerto Rico

(2023河北石家庄市高二联考)The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure，with movable walls，doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear，and others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders，gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future，but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first，then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century，there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead，there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes. We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future，either we stay on the earth and die with it，or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
12．What will homes of the future be like
A．They will be completely different from those of today.
B．They will be very similar to our homes.
C．They will be movable as you want.
D．They will be different from one another.
13．Space trips and staying in space hotels will________．
A．become a very common way to spend a holiday
B．be the cheapest holiday choice for families

Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life.__16__ By 2048，some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.
By the middle of the century，it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk” to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on.__17__ Instead，a lot of networks will appear，which can be compared to a human nervous system. In the next 30 years，buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. All of them can heal themselves at that time. __18__ there will be a need for new kinds of elevators，through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.
By mid-century，scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities. By comparison，at present，the world’s tallest building，the Burj Khalifa in Dubai，measures 829.8 metres high.__19__ their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. In this way，people can choose any view as they like.
At height extremes，a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible.__20__

B．As a result，there will be no switches.
C．As the future building can rise through the clouds，
D．As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings，
E．They are predicting how we will travel，work and live in the next 30 years.
F．Therefore，a spaceport is very likely to be over 10 km，using carbon-based materials.
G．What is more likely，though，is that planes will become smarter and may even become autonomous.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面文章，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Last Sunday，I received a phone call from my friend，Alun. He asked me to help with his group who entertained at the local hospitals. Due to my unfinished homework，I was unwilling to go，but finally I was persuaded to help out this one time，which proved to be an unforgettable and meaningful experience.
That evening，Alun picked me up and we went to a local hospital. I was going to join his musical group with my guitar and maybe sing some solo songs as well.
The hospital was large. When guided into the hall we were surprised to see so many patients and staff there. A sight like this aroused our sympathy. Some patients were in wheelchairs or with their arms in bandages，while others were with their drips attached. Maybe their days seemed to be dull during the period of treatment，so our coming brought some colour into their lives. Seeing their happy faces，I thought joining Alun’s group was a worthwhile thing to do.
Among the audience，I spotted one particular young girl aged about 13 who was wearing a head scarf and appeared to be more delighted than the others. When we started our performance，excitement filled the hall. Alun mentioned to me that the young girl who I had noticed earlier was singing along with all our songs quietly to herself. At a break，out of curiosity，I asked one of the nurses about the girl. She said that the girl suffered serious burns and was being treated and that she was a bit down these days，but our performance had lifted the girl’s spirits. Our songs moved all the people present. They all cheered for us，including the young girl and we were inspired. Facing these lovely people，we really wanted to do more.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
We asked the girl if she would like to sing with us.___________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
答案
1．A 细节理解题。根据Youth Job Connection的最后一句“Who is eligible (具备条件的): between 16 and 29 years old； not attending full-time school or training.”可知，16岁的学生可以参与Youth Job Connection。故选A项。
2．D 细节理解题。根据Youth Job Connection Summer的第一句可知，与其他三个项目相比较，该项目的特殊之处为：帮助学生在项目结束后返回学校。故选D项。
3．C 细节理解题。在Youth Job Connection中根据“You get at least 60 hours of paid training to prepare you for the workplace，a job for up to 6 months，job-coaching and help with the transition from school to work，or to ongoing employment once the programme ends.”可知，Youth Job Connection提供了职业指导。在Youth Job Connection Summer中根据“You get at least 20 hours of paid training to prepare you for the workplace，summer jobs that last for up to 8 weeks (part-time and after-school jobs are available if they don’t conflict with school)，job-coaching and help return to school after the programme ends.”可知，也涉及职业指导。再根据MARS Studio的第一句“You are guided to learn critical skills you need to solve complex 21st century challenges，build networks with peers，coaches，and leaders，and pursue your innovative ideas for bold change in society.”和Starter Company Programme中的第一句“You get guidance，business knowledge and funding to start，grow，or buy a small business.”可知，以上项目都提供了职业指导。故选C项。

9．C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The analysis，published in the journal BiologicalConservation，says intensive(集约型) agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides.”可知，发表在《生物保护》杂志上的分析说集约农业是昆虫数量下降的主要驱动力，尤其是大量使用农药。
10．D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none...”可知，在第四段中可以找到昆虫减少的大体时间。
11．B 主旨大意题。最后一段中提到“看到这些显示世界昆虫种群的可怜状态的证据是发人深思的。越来越明显的是，地球的生态正受到破坏，为了预防和改变这些可怕的趋势，需要一个强大和全球的努力”。由此推知，本文最佳标题是“Insect Declining Is Breaking Nature’s Ecosystems(昆虫数量的减少正在破坏自然生态系统)”。

15．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At some point... to another planet. ”可知，在遥远的将来的某个时候，我们要么留在地球上，和它一起死去，要么离开地球，搬到其他星球上去。由此可知，如果我们想拯救人类，就必须搬去其他星球。故选B项。

17．B 根据上文的“will be able to ‘talk’ to people...when the heating needs to be turned on”可知，B项是上文的结果。

25．B 句意：所以我没有把他绑起来，而是密切关注着他。根据上文“He was __24__，and his crying let the whole campground know it.”以及下文“I just kept a close eye on him.”可推知，此处指孩子身上被绑绳子后感觉不舒服，所以作者放弃在他身上绑绳子，而是密切关注着他。故选B项。

My Career Plan
My future career objective is to be a fashion designer. Why do I have such a career plan The reasons are as follows.
Last year，at our school Art Festival，I designed the costumes for our class play，which my classmates and teachers thought were nice and novel. Actually，I am really good at drawing and have a talent for fashion design，which inspires me to pursue my dream of fashion design. After much thought，I decided to develop my skills and get the right qualifications by studying art and fashion design at university. Therefore，I need to work hard to go to university.
I hope that I can seek a job as a fashion designer after graduation from university.

After her performance，I saw a change in the girl’s eyes. ______________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
After her performance, I saw a change in the girl’s eyes.They seemed much brighter than when we had first met her just a couple of hours ago.She appeared to have gained a lot of confidence from this experience.She told me we had made her day.A bright smile spread across the little girl’s face.I was pleased that I neither missed the opportunity to help others nor just thought of myself and my own needs.Stepping out not only helped people in need，but also gave me the sweet taste of helping others.
