Life will probably be very different in 2050.First of all， it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.Instead， people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.By 2050， music， films， programmes， newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places， agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.Therefore， there could be serious shortages of water.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In the future， cars will run on new， clean fuels （燃料） and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents.Today， many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050， the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also， by 2050， space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike， and work 24 hours a day.They are also easy to control.And they never argue with people.They can be easily used in a variety of places — factories， schools， offices， hospitals， shops and homes.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes.Scientists have already produced clones of animals.By 2050， scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave.Scientists will be able to do these things， but should they？

When it came to imaging the future， Arthur C.Clarke stubbornly refused to take credit for any predictions.The Internet， 3-D printers， email： he may have described them all long before they existed.As a science fiction writer， he came up with the idea of a “personal transceiver” that is small enough to be carried about， able to contact with anyone in the world and perform global positioning， making getting lost a thing of the past.Elsewhere， he predicted everything from online banking to reusable spacecraft.His best remembered fictional work of all is 2001： A Space Odyssey.It also happened to forecast the iPad， computer software that is able to read lips， and space stations.
Interestingly， his vision of the future has barely aged.For example， life in Sri Lanka inspired his 1979 novel， featuring a “space elevator”， a planet-to-space transportation system that would do away with the need for rocket travel.Those human settlements on Mars or Venus are decidedly behind schedule （we humans were expected to have set foot on both by 1980）， and we’re still looking for the key that should have fully unlocked the languages of whales and dolphins by 1970.
It’s a way of thinking that was likely fuelled by his inability to be anything other than utterly absorbed in all that interested him.At the very start of his career， he shared a flat on London’s Gray’s Inn Road with fellow science fiction writers who nicknamed him “Ego” because of his talent for turning out （关掉） distraction.Once he’d become a big enough name to be interviewed， he’d send journalists home loaded with research papers.
He once said， “Trying to predict the future is a discouraging and risky occupation.” If a prediction sounds at all reasonable， technological progress is sure to leave it seeming “ridiculously conservative”.But if， by a miracle， a person were to be able to describe the future exactly as it will unfold， “His predictions will sound so absurd and far-fetched that everybody would laugh him to scorn （轻蔑）.”
5.What can we infer from the first paragraph？（ ）
A.Clarke is an imaginative science fiction writer.
B.Clarke is crazy about the future devices.
C.Clarke is expert at telling one’s fortune.
D.Clarke is a rarely talented inventor.
6.The examples in Paragraph 2 prove .（ ）
A.there is no need for rocket travel in future
B.unlocking the languages of animals is ahead of time
C.humans were expecting to settle on Mars by 1980
D.Clarke’s predictions still seem impossibly distant
7.Why was Clarke called “Ego” by his fellows？（ ）
A.He could focus all his mind on something.
B.He cared more about himself than others.
C.He was absorbed in what interested him.
D.He was proud of being a big name.
8.What does Clarke stress in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.The rapid progress of technology.
B.The absurdness of some predictions.
C.The difficulty of predicting the future.
D.The miracle of dependable predictions.

A song called Lonely Warrior is always ringing in my ears.Six years ago， after hosting an annual ceremony for my school， I found that my left leg was a little swollen， and very soon I could barely walk.In fact， the swollen part became a fist-sized meatball that was so painful that I could barely sleep.Of course， I went to a local hospital， where I was given very bleak （不乐观的） news — osteosarcoma， which means bone cancer.
I underwent chemotherapy （化疗） for the next two years， and it was the worst time of my life.Physically， I felt that the side effects of chemotherapy were killing me.I lost all of the hair on my body and became totally bald.I could barely eat anything， even if I felt hungry.I no longer needed an alarm clock to wake up in the morning.Instead， what woke me was my body telling me that I needed to vomit （呕吐）.
I had no idea where all this treatment would leave me， and the dreams I had once nursed （怀有） about the future were entirely wiped out.I wanted to feel the world and experience more， so I stuck to the course of treatment.As time went by， however， I became weaker and weaker.The side effects now were far worse than they had been earlier.
I eventually suggested that the leg be chopped off， and the doctor said that might be the best thing to do， as long as I could cope with the psychological and social pressures afterward.I made my decision very calmly， because I knew things could not be worse than they were at that moment， and I was determined that this was just one more battle I would win.
Now， six years later， I have weathered all these difficulties.I have been so lucky to be able to find the strength to deal with all of this， and what I have to tell anyone still struggling with difficulties is this：Have faith in yourself， and do not let bad moments drag you down.Just hang on and you will come through.
9.What can we learn about the side effects of chemotherapy？（ ）
A.They made the author suffer a lot.
B.They destroyed the author’s faith.
C.They were relieved after treatment.
D.They were more obvious in the daytime.
10.What was the author’s decision to deal with his condition？（ ）
A.Chopping off his leg.
B.Turning down the doctor’s advice.
C.Giving in to the cancer.
D.Seeking psychological assistance.
11.What does the underlined word “weathered” in the last paragraph mean？（ ）
A.Resisted. B.Survived.
C.Escaped. D.Produced.
12.What does the author want to convey in the text？（ ）
A.A light heart lives long.
B.A good medicine tastes bitter.
C.Time works wonders.
D.One with faith braves any hardship.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可能会与现在大不相同的2050年的生活。
1.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文Instead， people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.可推知，电视频道可能在2050年消失。由此推测，画线词vanished与disappeared（消失）意思相近。
2.D 段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，本段说明了机器人的诸多好处。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知，作者可能不同意克隆人的想法。
4.B 标题归纳题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段可知，文章主要介绍了可能会与现在大不相同的2050年的生活。因此，B项（未来的生活）为本文最佳标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位擅长预测未来的作家Arthur C.Clarke。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，Arthur C.Clarke是一位科幻小说家，他在他的作品中成功预测了未来会出现的发明创造。由此推测，他是一位富有想象力的科幻小说家。
6.D 推理判断题。第二段首句指出，他的预测并没有过时。结合下面的例子可知，他在小说中预测的“太空电梯”、火星或金星上的人类定居点、解锁鲸鱼和海豚的语言等在现在仍然没有实现。由此推断，他的预测仍然似乎遥不可及。
7.C 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，因为Clarke有排除分心的天赋，所以其他科幻小说家给他起了个绰号“Ego”。由此推断，他能够专注于感兴趣的东西。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，预测未来是令人沮丧且有风险的工作，听起来合理的预测会被认为保守，而大胆预测则会被人认为荒谬。由此可推断，预测未来并不容易。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与骨癌作斗争的经历。
9.A 推理判断题。根据第二段描述可知，化疗使作者痛苦不堪，作者的头发掉光了，他几乎吃不进任何东西，夜间睡眠也受到了很大影响。由此推断，化疗的副作用让作者受了很多的苦。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第二段、第三段内容以及第四段首句可知，作者忍受不了化疗的副作用最终提议截肢。
11.B 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中I have been so lucky to be able to find the strength to deal with all of this可知，画线词所在句表达的应是六年后作者最终挺过了所有困难，因此画线词意为“经受住”，与survive“挺过”意思相近。
12.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Have faith in yourself， and do not let bad moments drag you down.Just hang on and you will come through.可知，作者在本文想传达的是：有信心的人可以经受任何困难。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。动机分为来自我们内心的自我激励和来自外部的动力。文章介绍了有助于维持自我激励的方法。
13.E 根据上文Motivation comes in two types.The first is self-motivation ...ourselves.可知，空处应提及另一种激励——来自外部的。E项符合语境。
14.G 根据本段小标题及上句Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain and woolly.可知，G项（实现梦想的第一步是把它变成一系列的目标）符合语境，G项中的dream与goals是原词复现。
15.A 根据本段内容可知，面对困难一定要对自己有信心。A项（有自信）可概括全段，为本段小标题。
16.F 根据本段小标题并结合上句Positivity rubs off ... other motivated people.可知，跟积极乐观的人在一起自己会被感染到积极的态度；再根据下文内容可知，和积极的人在一起时，你也会变得积极。F项（他们的态度将是乐观和自信的）符合语境。
17.D 根据上文You will already have drawn up ...continue to be motivated.可知，空处承接上文，应继续陈述坚持计划的原因。D项（你的计划本身就是自我激励的源泉）符合语境。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位身残志坚的少年。
18.admission 考查词形转换。 空处作定语，修饰名词letter。admission letter意为“录取通知书”。故填admission。
19.accessible 考查词形转换。 空处和空前的advanced并列作宾语补足语，应用形容词。make sth accessible to sb意为“使某物易于让某人所得（所用）”。故填accessible。
20.wholly 考查词形转换。 空处修饰形容词unable，应用副词作状语，故填wholly。
21.Having learned/learnt 考查非谓语动词。 分析句子结构可知，句子主语he与learn为逻辑上的主谓关系，且动作learn发生在谓语enjoys前（有for years提示），所以用动词-ing形式的完成式，表示主动完成的特点，首字母大写。故填Having learned/learnt。
22.to be conquered 考查非谓语动词。 分析句子结构可知，这里要用动词不定式作表语，表达“将要”之意，且与主语obstacles是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用动词不定式的被动结构。故填to be conquered。
23.when/if 考查状语从句。结合句意可知，空处可填when/if，意为“当……时/如果”。
24.has been viewed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。 由时间状语up till now可知，从句谓语应用现在完成时，且从句主语which指代先行词His story，与从句谓语动词view之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been viewed。
25.for 考查介词。空后的his courage， determination and hard work是赢得人们钦佩的原因，所以用介词for表原因。故填for。
26.that/which 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是a career，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
27.a 考查冠词。 此处表“……的增长”，表泛指，应用不定冠词修饰名词increase，空后more的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。

Facing the Future
For many of us， it’s something we already have experienced.One moment， we are lying comfortably in bed， about to fall into a deep sleep①.The next， our eyes are open and we find ourselves wondering or even worrying about② possibly the most important issue of our lives — the future.Will we get into③ the school of our choice？ What will we be doing in ten years’ time？ Can we become the person we really want to be？ In the face of④ such questions， how should we approach the future？ [1]Can we take action⑤ to shape it， or should we just accept whatever comes our way⑥？
[1] 本句为复合句。whatever引导宾语从句，作accept的宾语。
[2]As many of us already know， having plans in place⑦ for the future is no guarantee that they will become reality. [3]In this respect， some people are more fortunate than others， as can be illustrated by comparing the lives of two famous authors， born 40 years apart. Although they shared the same ambitious⑧ and energetic approach⑨to life， their careers unfolded in contrasting ways⑩.
[2]本句为复合句。As引导非限制性定语从句，在定语从句中作宾语，意为“正如……”；主句中主语为动词-ing短语having plans in place for the future。
[3]本句为复合句。as引导非限制性定语从句，在定语从句中作主语，代指整个主句。
The American author， Ernest Hemingway， born in 1899， was from early boyhood single-minded in his ambition to write.On leaving high school， he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee reporter.He went on to become foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to inform his writing.In his words， “I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.” [4] Having set himself this goal， he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences of the First World War， the Spanish Civil War， bullfighting and deep-sea fishing， amongst others. His novel The Old Man and the Sea， about the three-day epic struggle between an elderly fisherman and the biggest fish he had ever caught， won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.He would later go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
[4]本句为复合句。Having set himself this goal 为动词-ing短语作时间状语；based on his personal experiences of ...为过去分词短语作后置定语。
By contrast ， the young Arthur Conan Doyle， born in Scotland in 1859， had originally worked as a doctor.[5] But Doyle’s main ambition was to become a writer of historical novels. [6]Although some of his historical novels were published， their success was nothing compared to the stories of his fictional detective ， Sherlock Holmes， which he is still best known for to this day .
[5]to become a writer of historical novels为动词不定式短语作表语。
[6]本句为复合句。Although 引导让步状语从句，compared to the stories of his fictional detective为比较状语；which引导非限制性定语从句。
Interestingly， Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his medical practice in London.After Sherlock Holmes made him a household name， Doyle gave up medicine and devoted himself entirely to writing.He still longed to become known for his historical novels amongst other academic works.The public， however， couldn’t get enough of Sherlock Holmes.In desperatio， Doyle killed off the famous detective in a novel published in 1893 so that he could focus on his “serious” writing.However， fans of Holmes were so angry that Doyle， under immense pressure， was forced to bring Holmes back from the dead.Doyle’s many historical novels， plays， poems and academic papers have remained largely forgotten， but Sherlock Holmes has been entertaining readers for well over a century.
[7]Though both of these men were ultimately successful， their paths to success were very different， their futures not necessarily turning out exactly as they planned. So， whatever twists and turns you might encounter， take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said，“You can’t connect the dots looking forward； you can only connect them looking backwards .So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
[7]their futures ...as they planned为独立主格结构；as they planned为as引导的方式状语从句。

面对未来
我们许多人都有过这样的经历。前一刻，我们正惬意地躺在床上，即将进入深度睡眠。但下一刻，我们就睁开了双眼，发现自己在思考，甚至在担忧可能是人生中最重要的事情——未来。我们能进入心仪的学校吗？十年之后我们会在做什么？我们能够成为真正想成为的人吗？面对这些疑问，我们应该如何迎接未来呢？我们能否采取行动去影响未来，还是该全然接受现实给予我们的一切呢？
正如我们许多人都知道的那样，对未来有计划并不能保证它们都会成为现实。就这一方面而言，一些人比别人更幸运，例如，有两位年龄相差40岁的著名作家，对比他们的人生就能证明这一点。虽然他们面对生活时都有远大的志向，而且精力充沛，但他们的职业生涯的发展却截然不同。
美国作家欧内斯特·海明威出生于1899年，他从小就一心想成为作家。高中一毕业，他进入堪萨斯当地的一家报社做实习记者。此后，他又成为《多伦多星报》的一名驻外记者，根据在欧洲和后来在古巴的独特经历进行创作。他曾说：“我决定把我知道的每一件事都写成一个故事。”在立下这一目标后，他根据自己在第一次世界大战、西班牙内战、斗牛表演和深海捕鱼等的亲身经历创作了许多长篇和短篇小说。他的小说《老人与海》讲述了一位老渔民与一条自己捕过的最大的鱼进行了三天艰苦卓绝搏斗的故事。这部小说于1953年获得普利策小说奖。海明威后来还荣获了诺贝尔文学奖。
相比而言，1859年出生于苏格兰的亚瑟·柯南·道尔，原先是一名医生，但他最大的志向却是成为一名历史小说作家。虽然他出版过一些历史小说，但与他虚构出来的侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事相比，所取得的成功不可同日而语。直到现在，道尔最广为人知的作品仍是夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事。
有趣的是，一些早期的福尔摩斯故事是道尔在伦敦行医期间等候病人的时候创作的。在夏洛克·福尔摩斯让他变得家喻户晓后，道尔放弃了行医，全身心地投入创作。除了其他学术作品，他还是渴望自己能因历史小说而出名。然而，公众却对夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事百读不厌。绝望之下，道尔在一部出版于1893年的小说中杀死了这位著名的侦探，以便专心创作他的“严肃”作品。然而，福尔摩斯迷们对此感到非常愤怒，这使得道尔在巨大压力之下，不得不让福尔摩斯起死回生。道尔的很多历史小说、戏剧、诗歌和学术论文几乎都被人遗忘了，但夏洛克·福尔摩斯却在一个多世纪以来一直吸引着读者。
虽然这两位作家最终都获得了成功，但他们的成功之路却截然不同，他们的未来也不一定完全如他们当初所计划的那样。因此，不管未来你会遇到怎样的坎坷和曲折，都应以这两位作者为榜样，做好应对意外的准备。正如著名的科技创新者史蒂夫·乔布斯所说：“你无法预见性地将生命中的点滴串联起来，只有在回头看时，你才会发现这些点滴之间的联系。所以你要坚信，你现在所经历的，将在你未来的生命中串联起来。”

moment， we are lying comfortably in bed， about to fall into a deep sleep
①.The next， our eyes are open and we find ourselves wondering or even
worrying about② possibly the most important issue of our lives — the
future.Will we get into③ the school of our choice？ What will we be doing
in ten years’ time？ Can we become the person we really want to be？ In

[1]Can we take action⑤ to shape it， or should we just accept whatever
comes our way⑥？

comparing the lives of two famous authors， born 40 years apart.
Although they shared the same ambitious⑧ and energetic approach⑨to
life， their careers unfolded in contrasting ways⑩.

The American author， Ernest Hemingway， born in 1899， was
from early boyhood single-minded in his ambition to write.On leaving
high school， he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee
reporter.He went on to become foreign correspondent for the Toronto
Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to
inform his writing.In his words， “I decided that I would write one
story about each thing that I knew about.” [4] Having set himself this
goal， he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences
of the First World War， the Spanish Civil War， bullfighting and deep-
sea fishing， amongst others.
His novel The Old Man and the Sea， about the three-day epic struggle
between an elderly fisherman and the biggest fish he had ever caught，
won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.He would later go on to win the
Nobel Prize in Literature.

By contrast ， the young Arthur Conan Doyle， born in Scotland in

ambition was to become a writer of historical novels. [6]Although some
of his historical novels were published， their success was nothing

history n.历史
detective n.私家侦探
to this day直到今天
Interestingly， Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he
was waiting for patients in his medical practice in London.After Sherlock
Holmes made him a household name， Doyle gave up medicine and
devoted himself entirely to writing.He still longed to become known for
his historical novels amongst other academic works.The public，
however， couldn’t get enough of Sherlock Holmes.In
desperatio， Doyle killed off the famous detective in a novel
published in 1893 so that he could focus on his “serious”
writing.However， fans of Holmes were so angry that Doyle，
under immense pressure， was forced to bring Holmes back from the
dead.Doyle’s many historical novels， plays， poems and academic
papers have remained largely forgotten， but Sherlock Holmes has been
entertaining readers for well over a century.
[7]Though both of these men were ultimately successful， their
paths to success were very different， their futures not necessarily turning
out exactly as they planned. So， whatever twists and turns you might
encounter， take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be
prepared for the unexpected.As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs
once said，“You can’t connect the dots looking forward； you can
only connect them looking backwards .So you have to trust that the dots
will somehow connect in your future.”

【参考译文】
面对未来
我们许多人都有过这样的经历。前一刻，我们正惬意地躺在床
上，即将进入深度睡眠。但下一刻，我们就睁开了双眼，发现自己在
思考，甚至在担忧可能是人生中最重要的事情——未来。我们能进入
心仪的学校吗？十年之后我们会在做什么？我们能够成为真正想成为
的人吗？面对这些疑问，我们应该如何迎接未来呢？我们能否采取行
动去影响未来，还是该全然接受现实给予我们的一切呢？
正如我们许多人都知道的那样，对未来有计划并不能保证它们都
会成为现实。就这一方面而言，一些人比别人更幸运，例如，有两位
年龄相差40岁的著名作家，对比他们的人生就能证明这一点。虽然他
们面对生活时都有远大的志向，而且精力充沛，但他们的职业生涯的
发展却截然不同。
美国作家欧内斯特·海明威出生于1899年，他从小就一心想成为作
家。高中一毕业，他进入堪萨斯当地的一家报社做实习记者。此后，
他又成为《多伦多星报》的一名驻外记者，根据在欧洲和后来在古巴
的独特经历进行创作。他曾说：“我决定把我知道的每一件事都写成
一个故事。”在立下这一目标后，他根据自己在第一次世界大战、西
班牙内战、斗牛表演和深海捕鱼等的亲身经历创作了许多长篇和短篇
小说。他的小说《老人与海》讲述了一位老渔民与一条自己捕过的最
大的鱼进行了三天艰苦卓绝搏斗的故事。这部小说于1953年获得普利
策小说奖。海明威后来还荣获了诺贝尔文学奖。
相比而言，1859年出生于苏格兰的亚瑟·柯南·道尔，原先是一名
医生，但他最大的志向却是成为一名历史小说作家。虽然他出版过一
些历史小说，但与他虚构出来的侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事相比，所
取得的成功不可同日而语。直到现在，道尔最广为人知的作品仍是夏
洛克·福尔摩斯的故事。
有趣的是，一些早期的福尔摩斯故事是道尔在伦敦行医期间等候
病人的时候创作的。在夏洛克·福尔摩斯让他变得家喻户晓后，道尔放
弃了行医，全身心地投入创作。除了其他学术作品，他还是渴望自己
能因历史小说而出名。然而，公众却对夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事百读不
厌。绝望之下，道尔在一部出版于1893年的小说中杀死了这位著名的
侦探，以便专心创作他的“严肃”作品。然而，福尔摩斯迷们对此感
到非常愤怒，这使得道尔在巨大压力之下，不得不让福尔摩斯起死回
生。道尔的很多历史小说、戏剧、诗歌和学术论文几乎都被人遗忘
了，但夏洛克·福尔摩斯却在一个多世纪以来一直吸引着读者。
虽然这两位作家最终都获得了成功，但他们的成功之路却截然不
同，他们的未来也不一定完全如他们当初所计划的那样。因此，不管
未来你会遇到怎样的坎坷和曲折，都应以这两位作者为榜样，做好应
对意外的准备。正如著名的科技创新者史蒂夫·乔布斯所说：“你无法
预见性地将生命中的点滴串联起来，只有在回头看时，你才会发现这
些点滴之间的联系。所以你要坚信，你现在所经历的，将在你未来的
生命中串联起来。”

Life will probably be very different in 2050.First of all， it seems
that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.Instead， people will choose
a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme
directly to the television.By 2050， music， films， programmes，
newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places， agriculture is developing quickly and people are
growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of
water.Therefore， there could be serious shortages of water.Some
scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act
now.
In the future， cars will run on new， clean fuels （燃料） and they
will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there
won’t be any accidents.Today， many cars have computers that tell
drivers exactly where they are.By 2050， the computer will control the car
and drive it to your destination.Also， by 2050， space planes will fly
people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay
rises or go on strike， and work 24 hours a day.They are also easy to
control.And they never argue with people.They can be easily used in a
variety of places — factories， schools， offices， hospitals， shops and
homes.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes.Scientists have
already produced clones of animals.By 2050， scientists will be able to
produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they
behave.Scientists will be able to do these things， but should they？

B
When it came to imaging the future， Arthur C. Clarke stubbornly
refused to take credit for any predictions.The Internet， 3-D printers，
email： he may have described them all long before they existed.As a
science fiction writer， he came up with the idea of a “personal
transceiver” that is small enough to be carried about， able to contact
with anyone in the world and perform global positioning， making getting
lost a thing of the past.Elsewhere， he predicted everything from online
banking to reusable spacecraft.His best remembered fictional work of all is
2001： A Space Odyssey.It also happened to forecast the iPad， computer
software that is able to read lips， and space stations.
Interestingly， his vision of the future has barely aged.For example，
life in Sri Lanka inspired his 1979 novel， featuring a “space
elevator”， a planet-to-space transportation system that would do away
with the need for rocket travel.Those human settlements on Mars or Venus
are decidedly behind schedule （we humans were expected to have set foot
on both by 1980）， and we’re still looking for the key that should have
fully unlocked the languages of whales and dolphins by 1970.
It’s a way of thinking that was likely fuelled by his inability to be
anything other than utterly absorbed in all that interested him.At the very
start of his career， he shared a flat on London’s Gray’s Inn Road with
fellow science fiction writers who nicknamed him “Ego” because of his
talent for turning out （关掉） distraction.Once he’d become a big
enough name to be interviewed， he’d send journalists home loaded with
research papers.
He once said， “Trying to predict the future is a discouraging and
risky occupation.” If a prediction sounds at all reasonable，
technological progress is sure to leave it seeming “ridiculously
conservative”.But if， by a miracle， a person were to be able to
describe the future exactly as it will unfold， “His predictions will sound
so absurd and far-fetched that everybody would laugh him to scorn （轻
蔑）.”

5. What can we infer from the first paragraph？（ ）
A. Clarke is an imaginative science fiction writer.
B. Clarke is crazy about the future devices.
C. Clarke is expert at telling one’s fortune.
D. Clarke is a rarely talented inventor.

一位科幻小说家，他在他的作品中成功预测了未来会出现的发明创
造。由此推测，他是一位富有想象力的科幻小说家。
6. The examples in Paragraph 2 prove .（ ）
A. there is no need for rocket travel in future
B. unlocking the languages of animals is ahead of time
C. humans were expecting to settle on Mars by 1980
D. Clarke’s predictions still seem impossibly distant
解析： 推理判断题。第二段首句指出，他的预测并没有过时。
结合下面的例子可知，他在小说中预测的“太空电梯”、火星或金
星上的人类定居点、解锁鲸鱼和海豚的语言等在现在仍然没有实
现。由此推断，他的预测仍然似乎遥不可及。
7. Why was Clarke called “Ego” by his fellows？（ ）
A. He could focus all his mind on something.
B. He cared more about himself than others.
C. He was absorbed in what interested him.
D. He was proud of being a big name.

除分心的天赋，所以其他科幻小说家给他起了个绰号“Ego”。由
此推断，他能够专注于感兴趣的东西。
8. What does Clarke stress in the last paragraph？（ ）
A. The rapid progress of technology.
B. The absurdness of some predictions.
C. The difficulty of predicting the future.
D. The miracle of dependable predictions.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，预测未来是令人
沮丧且有风险的工作，听起来合理的预测会被认为保守，而大胆预
测则会被人认为荒谬。由此可推断，预测未来并不容易。

A song called Lonely Warrior is always ringing in my ears.Six years
ago， after hosting an annual ceremony for my school， I found that my
left leg was a little swollen， and very soon I could barely walk.In fact，
the swollen part became a fist-sized meatball that was so painful that I
could barely sleep.Of course， I went to a local hospital， where I was
given very bleak （不乐观的） news — osteosarcoma， which means
bone cancer.
I underwent chemotherapy （化疗） for the next two years， and it
was the worst time of my life.Physically， I felt that the side effects of
chemotherapy were killing me.I lost all of the hair on my body and became
totally bald.I could barely eat anything， even if I felt hungry.I no longer
needed an alarm clock to wake up in the morning.Instead， what woke me
was my body telling me that I needed to vomit （呕吐）.
I had no idea where all this treatment would leave me， and the
dreams I had once nursed （怀有） about the future were entirely wiped
out.I wanted to feel the world and experience more， so I stuck to the
course of treatment.As time went by， however， I became weaker and
weaker.The side effects now were far worse than they had been earlier.
I eventually suggested that the leg be chopped off， and the doctor
said that might be the best thing to do， as long as I could cope with the
psychological and social pressures afterward.I made my decision very
calmly， because I knew things could not be worse than they were at that
moment， and I was determined that this was just one more battle I would
win.
Now， six years later， I have weathered all these difficulties.I have
been so lucky to be able to find the strength to deal with all of this， and
what I have to tell anyone still struggling with difficulties is this：Have
faith in yourself， and do not let bad moments drag you down.Just hang
on and you will come through.

堪，作者的头发掉光了，他几乎吃不进任何东西，夜间睡眠也受到
了很大影响。由此推断，化疗的副作用让作者受了很多的苦。
10. What was the author’s decision to deal with his condition？（ ）
A. Chopping off his leg.

Motivation comes in two types.The first is self-motivation， which
comes from within ourselves.13.（ ） How， then， do we stay
motivated once we have committed ourselves to action？ Self-motivation
requires effort， and here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
·Setting goals.
Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain and woolly.14.（ ） A
long-term goal will be the final dream — let’s say， setting up a new
business.Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road
to the final goal.Medium-term goals will include raising finance， getting
suitable places， and employing staff.
·15.（ ）
When you are faced with a setback， don’t just let it defeat
you.Remember that you have already overcome other obstacles.Believe in
yourself and your abilities.Believing in your capacity for success is a
brilliant motivator.You know you can solve the problem facing you
because you have done it before.
·Keep company with positive folk.
Positivity rubs off， and you can help keep yourself motivated by
mixing with other motivated people.16.（ ） And you can draw on
that yourself.Negative thoughts can soon be banished if you are with
people who exude positivity.
·Stick to the plan.
You will already have drawn up （起草） your plan of action and the
timetable for carrying it out.Keep this in mind at all times， and you will
continue to be motivated.17.（ ） Review your progress from time to
time to make sure that you are still on course for success.
A. Have self-belief.
B. Avoid them if you can.
C. Don’t take worries home with you.
D. Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation.
E. The second is motivation from outside sources.
F. Their attitude is going to be optimistic and confident.
G. The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals.

13. E 根据上文Motivation comes in two types.The first is self-
motivation ...ourselves.可知，空处应提及另一种激励——来自外部
的。E项符合语境。
14. G 根据本段小标题及上句Our dreams are usually a bit uncertain
and woolly.可知，G项（实现梦想的第一步是把它变成一系列的目
标）符合语境，G项中的dream与goals是原词复现。
15. A 根据本段内容可知，面对困难一定要对自己有信心。A项（有
自信）可概括全段，为本段小标题。
16. F 根据本段小标题并结合上句Positivity rubs off ... other
motivated people.可知，跟积极乐观的人在一起自己会被感染到积极
的态度；再根据下文内容可知，和积极的人在一起时，你也会变得积
极。F项（他们的态度将是乐观和自信的）符合语境。
17. D 根据上文You will already have drawn up ...continue to be
motivated.可知，空处承接上文，应继续陈述坚持计划的原因。D项
（你的计划本身就是自我激励的源泉）符合语境。
Ⅲ.语法填空
An anxious 18-year-old Peng Lanxi got his 18. （admit） letter from Hunan University of Science and Technology on 26 July， bringing his dream closer — making prosthetic limbs （假肢） more advanced and 19. （access） to people like him.
Peng lost his legs in a car accident in 2005， leaving him
20. （whole） unable to move around.21. （learn） to walk using just his hands for years， he now enjoys life as much as the teenagers around him.On his wheelchair he plays basketball and badminton.“I believe obstacles are there 22. （conquer）.Someone says life is like a mirror， and we get the best results 23. we smile at it，” Peng says.

last year.From 2016 to 2020， about 57，500 students with special needs
enrolled at universities，27. more than 50 per cent increase

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位身残志坚的少年。
18. admission 考查词形转换。 空处作定语，修饰名词letter。
admission letter意为“录取通知书”。故填admission。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位身残志坚的少年。
19. accessible 考查词形转换。 空处和空前的advanced并列作宾语补
足语，应用形容词。make sth accessible to sb意为“使某物易于让某人
所得（所用）”。故填accessible。
20. wholly 考查词形转换。 空处修饰形容词unable，应用副词作状
语，故填wholly。
21. Having learned/learnt 考查非谓语动词。 分析句子结构可知，句
子主语he与learn为逻辑上的主谓关系，且动作learn发生在谓语enjoys
前（有for years提示），所以用动词-ing形式的完成式，表示主动完成
的特点，首字母大写。故填Having learned/learnt。
22. to be conquered 考查非谓语动词。 分析句子结构可知，这里要用
动词不定式作表语，表达“将要”之意，且与主语obstacles是逻辑上
的动宾关系，所以用动词不定式的被动结构。故填to be conquered。
23. when/if 考查状语从句。结合句意可知，空处可填when/if，意为
“当……时/如果”。
24. has been viewed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。 由时间状
语up till now可知，从句谓语应用现在完成时，且从句主语which指代
先行词His story，与从句谓语动词view之间是被动关系，故用现在完
成时的被动语态。故填has been viewed。
25. for 考查介词。空后的his courage， determination and hard work是
赢得人们钦佩的原因，所以用介词for表原因。故填for。
26. that/which 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是
a career，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词that/which引
导。故填that/which。
27. a 考查冠词。 此处表“……的增长”，表泛指，应用不定冠词
修饰名词increase，空后more的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
谢谢观看！
