Do you like travelling Do you think travelling is tiring or enjoyable In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas.
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are.
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR，增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
26．According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do
A．You can make your heartbeat different.
B．You can watch a film without a screen.
C．You can wear other people’s 3D-printed clothes.
D．You can take part in a famous battle with a headset.

A．They have the same size.
B．They can change temperature.
C．They won’t have any screens on the seat.
D．They can show movies in front of your eyes.

The DDSAR used a drone to follow Millie. Also, some policemen came and tried to get close to Millie by boat and on foot. But Millie was very afraid of those men. They made Millie move farther away from the safe place, so they had to stop their work. Later, one of the volunteers thought of an idea.

Millie was very hungry and wanted to eat the meat. She followed the meat and left the wetland. Finally, Millie ran towards Emma. Everyone there was happy for them.

Scientists are planning the 2030 trip to Mars. It will take astronauts twelve months on the way and eighteen months living on the Red Planet. As well as building a spaceship and creating space stations, scientists must answer another question: what are the astronauts going to eat while they are away
In 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, ate food in tubes (软管). The next astronauts from America had dried food mixed with water. Today, astronauts take ready-made meals with them. However, the meals they can take on the spaceship will last for only about two years.
Maya Cooper, a researcher from the USA, thinks she might have the answer. She studies how to grow plants without earth. Her plants grow on a shelf in some special liquid (液体). And they grow surprisingly well. Maya’s idea is for the astronauts to have a greenhouse on Mars. In the greenhouse, they can grow some kinds of fruits and vegetables. They could then prepare their meals with these and other food from the earth. This will help them stay healthy. In this way, astronauts will be able to live on fruits and vegetables without meat products for the long trip.
Maya also works on menus for the astronauts. She has suggested more than a hundred different dishes, including egg soup and tomato salad. There is even pizza and chips on the menu so that the astronauts won’t miss home too much. It is very important to make the Marstrip a success because the astronauts will do some valuable research on Mars. However, this will not be possible until the food problem is solved.

第二节 完成句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
51．我离开学校时李老师正在备课。
Mr. Lee his lessons when I left school.
【答案】 was preparing for

52．这两种气体不能混合在一起，否则会很危险。
These two gases each other, or it will be dangerous.
【答案】 can’t be mixed with
【详解】can’t“不能”，情态动词；mix with“与……混合”，动词。分析句意可知主语和动词mix之间是被动关系， 且是含有情态动词的被动语态：情态动词+be done。故填can’t；be；mixed；with。

Do you like travelling Do you think travelling is tiring or enjoyable In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas.
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are.
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR，增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
26．According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do
A．You can make your heartbeat different.
B．You can watch a film without a screen.

A．They have the same size.
B．They can change temperature.

A．Tips for travelling in the future.

Drones (无人机) can be helpful in many fields. This year, a team of volunteers in the UK saved a dog in a special way. They used a drone and meat. How did that happen
On January 13th, Emma Oakes lost her dog Millie when they were out for a walk. Emma was very worried. She asked the team DDSAR for help. After about two hours, volunteers found Millie in a wetland. It was dangerous for Millie to stay there. The water was around her, and she might fall into it.
The DDSAR used a drone to follow Millie. Also, some policemen came and tried to get close to Millie by boat and on foot. But Millie was very afraid of those men. They made Millie move farther away from the safe place, so they had to stop their work. Later, one of the volunteers thought of an idea. He said they could use meat dangling from the drone, and then help Millie get to a safe place. The other volunteers and the policemen agreed with him and decided to do it.
Millie was very hungry and wanted to eat the meat. She followed the meat and left the wetland. Finally, Millie ran towards Emma. Everyone there was happy for them. Emma was thankful to all the volunteers and policemen for their hard work. The drone also played an important part in saying Millie. Emma said it was fantastic to get her dog back.

Scientists are planning the 2030 trip to Mars. It will take astronauts twelve months on the way and eighteen months living on the Red Planet. As well as building a spaceship and creating space stations, scientists must answer another question: what are the astronauts going to eat while they are away
In 1961, Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, ate food in tubes (软管). The next astronauts from America had dried food mixed with water. Today, astronauts take ready-made meals with them. However, the meals they can take on the spaceship will last for only about two years.
Maya Cooper, a researcher from the USA, thinks she might have the answer. She studies how to grow plants without earth. Her plants grow on a shelf in some special liquid (液体). And they grow surprisingly well. Maya’s idea is for the astronauts to have a greenhouse on Mars. In the greenhouse, they can grow some kinds of fruits and vegetables. They could then prepare their meals with these and other food from the earth. This will help them stay healthy. In this way, astronauts will be able to live on fruits and vegetables without meat products for the long trip.
Maya also works on menus for the astronauts. She has suggested more than a hundred different dishes, including egg soup and tomato salad. There is even pizza and chips on the menu so that the astronauts won’t miss home too much. It is very important to make the Marstrip a success because the astronauts will do some valuable research on Mars. However, this will not be possible until the food problem is solved.

Sometimes, going online can feel a bit like going into a messy room.There’s just so much stuff in there, and it doesn’t seem to have any order. 43 What’s more, much of it is quite useless.
It’s good to think of the Internet world as its own environment, and it’s good to remember that you can create your own room in this environment. If you want a cleaner room, then you’ll need to start organizing it. 44 For example, if you’re a fan of video apps, you’ll know that you have endless videos to watch. But if you want to keep your online room clean, you might need to make sure that these apps don’t take up too much space in it. To do this, you’ll need to limit (限制) how much time you spend on them.
By making little changes to our online habits, we can live a more relaxed life and have a less messy mind. 45
A．It’s great to have so much stuff, but it can also make us stressed.
