（24-25 八年级上·江苏·期末）What will the future world be like Many people are glad to give their
91 . Here are two imaginations about the world of tomorrow. When people talk about the future, we like to think
that we’ll have our own personal flying car. We would fly at 480 kilometers per hour, avoiding traffic lights, 92
roads and speeding tickets. However, some people point to the disadvantages of flying cars. One big problem is:
what will happen if the flying cars 93 Then there will be problems with traffic control. Also, if they become
popular, there will surely be too much air traffic. So it seems that flying cars will face more than a few problems if
they are to get off the ground! Imagine you have your own Ironman 94 . Several companies are trying to
build a practical robot “exoskeleton”. This is a suit of robot arms and legs which follows your movement. It will

especially for people with disabilities. This suit might help people to walk again after 97 or injury (受伤).
But the disadvantage at the moment is the 98 . Even a simple suit can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Another problem is battery life. A suit like this needs a lot of 99 and batteries only last about 15 minutes at
the moment. One other problem is that a badly programmed robot wearer. You wouldn’t want your robot leg or
arm bending (弯曲) suit could 1 the wearer if he wears it the wrong way.
So in the future, although we might be able to fly to work and lift a car above our heads there are plenty of
problems to solve before this will be possible.
