(2023山东济南市高二联考)What would you do if you could see into the future And more importantly,what would you do if you weren’t happy with what you saw These are the questions explored in Disney’s new movie,Tomorrowland.

According to Brittany Robertson,the entire movie has been filled with secrecy.In fact,she had to audition(试镜) many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script(剧本).Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.“I always think about going green and trying to help the world with things I can do,” she told TFK.“I think the greatest things we can do to help are simple things.The small stuff counts.”
Robertson auditioned for(试演) it for a very long time before she even read the script.Once she read the script,she just loved how full the story was.She was satisfied by it.She felt happy,like she had just been on an adventurous ride.She was also sad,joyful,and hopeful.She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person.She was very happy when she found out she got the role.It felt like all her hard work paid off.

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
C.still only be for very rich people
D.attract a lot of people
14.Why will e-paper replace traditional paper
A.Because it won’t waste natural resource.
B.Because young people like it.
C.Because it will be cheaper to produce.
D.Because it will be convenient to carry.
15.We will have to move to another planet________.
A.if we want to live a better life B.if we want to save the human race
C.when the earth explodes D.when the earth is too crowded to live on
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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__
A.As cities are being very crowded,
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.___________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
After her performance,I saw a change in the girl’s eyes. ______________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了未来生活,包括我们未来的家、职业、太空旅行和可重复利用的电子纸等。
12.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“No two homes will be the same. ”可知,没有两个家是一样的。由此可知,未来的家彼此之间都是不同的。故选D项。
13.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Space holidays will develop...they won’t be cheap. ”可知,太空度假将在未来发展,但这些假期不是所有人都可以享受的,因为它们不会便宜。由此可推断出,太空旅行和住在太空旅馆的人仍然是非常富有的人。故选C项。
14.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Paper won’t exist...to save natural resources. ”可知,纸在未来不再存在,取而代之的是人们可以反复使用的电子纸。这是为了节约自然资源而发展的。由此可知,电子纸取代传统纸张是因为它不会浪费自然资源。故选A项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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__
A.As cities are being very crowded,
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.
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做出了很多预测。他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
16.E 根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
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。
18.D 根据下文的“there will be a need for new kinds of elevators...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
19.C 根据下文的“their windows”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“the world’s tallest buildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
20.F 本段提到“a London Spaceport”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且spaceport为同词复现。

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.
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.___________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
We asked the girl if she would like to sing with us.At first,she refused our suggestion,saying she had never sung in front of audience before,and that she was afraid of getting it wrong.However,after our encouragement,she decided to try one song but only as part of our group,which turned out to be a success.She had a soft and clear voice and it was amazing.The audience looked at her with adoration.They warmly applauded and it lasted for several minutes.
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.
