Children’s Sci-fi Art Predicts Extraordinary Future
More than 80 sci-fi artworks are on display at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, showing a beautiful yet puzzling future. The “Brave New Sci-Fi World” exhibition features paintings and art installations (设备) by students from Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and other cities. They imagine the future as a world where robots and human beings co-exist.
Ru Chen, from Shanghai New Putuo Primary School, has pictured a robot chameleon (变色龙) to be used in outer space to aid in the search and rescue of human beings in case of danger.
Li Jiaqi from Guangzhou Dongfeng East Road Primary School has painted a city where advanced technologies are everywhere, and even the city itself turns into a large robot.
Huang Yanrui from Beijing Shijingshan Gucheng No.2 Primary School imagines his rubber, pencil box and such stationery (文具) becoming conscious robots, and beginning to design future human beings.
Wang Zhihan, from Shanghai Shangde Experimental School and her schoolmates, stick electronic components on stone faces as a metaphor (隐喻) for the increasingly unclear boundaries between the reality and virtual world.“We hope to remind people to never lose yourself in a world with advanced techno-logies, ” she said.
The exhibition will last till November 4.

Recently, the magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to comment on what the future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.
It’s likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas, and will have a much higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard Florida thinks urbanization will reinvent the education system of the United States, making our economy less real estate (房地产) driven and erasing (消除) the divisions between home and work.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more quickly. Cities of the future won’t look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy”, but it’s likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR) will greatly change how we live. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars－driverless trucks－may make long-distance drivers out of date.
Some long view predictions are completely dire. Environmentalist Bill McKibben says that if we don’t make great progress in fighting global warming, it’s likely we could see out-of-control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls, and wars over limited freshwater resources.
In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food” supporter Nina Planck believes that there will be more small milk processing plants, and more regional food operations and we’ll be healthier as a result. New York Times feature writer Mark Bittman thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods, and eat foods grown closer to where they live. And Anson Mills farmer Glenn Roberts thinks that more people will be aware of the “ethical (道德的) responsibility” to grow and preserve land-raised farm systems.
( ) 4. What may happen by 2050
A. Most people will live in cities.
B. The aging population will drop.
C. Home education will become a trend.
D. The economy will be driven by real estate.
( ) 5. What do we know about technology in the future
A. It will give cities a science-fiction appearance.
B. It will greatly change the way people live.
C. It will lead to an increase in the number of cars.
D. It will ensure faster transports with faster cars.

Buildings with windows filled with water could save energy greatly, according to researchers backing the new technology.
Traditional glass windows increase the heat and temperature in the room in summers, and let the heat inside escape in winters, resulting in more electricity consumed for air-conditioners and more carbon emissions. Now, researchers at Loughborough University (UK) have created a water-filled window that can overcome these problems.
The “water-filled glass (WFG)” system, designed by Dr. Matyas Gutai, involves a sheet of water being trapped between a panel (嵌板) of glass, and the water is practically invisible. The windows are connected to an indoor storage tank (箱) using pipes hidden in the walls, allowing water to flow easily between the windows and the tank.
This system allows the house to cool and reheat themselves automatically. When sunlight streams through the glass, the windows keep the buildings cool as the water takes in external and internal heat. This warm water then flows back to the tank. And when the outdoor temperature drops, the stored warm water is brought back to the walls to reheat the building using a monitoring system similar to central heating. The heated water can also be used for domestic purposes. Although some electricity is required to pump the water back and forth, it uses much less energy than traditional air-conditioners or heaters.
Dr. Gutai claimed that WFG can save energy from 47% to 72% compared to when using traditional windows. Once launched into the market, the windows will surely make a real splash, appealing to a large crowd of environmentalists and contributing to reducing our carbon footprint. Currently, the inventor team is testing the windows in two areas with different weather conditions. The research reveals that WFG systems perform well in any inhabited climate — keeping buildings in hot climates cool and buildings in cool settings warm — without requiring an additional energy supply.
( ) 8．What’s the weakness of traditional glass windows
A．They are easy to break into.
B．They increase the indoor steam.
C．They fail to trap the heat.
D．They lead to more energy consumption.
( ) 9．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The structure of the WFG system.
B．The working process of the WFG system.
C．The advantages of water-filled windows.
D．The appearance of water-filled windows.
( ) 10．What’s the characteristic of the WFG system
A．It is operated by man.
B．It needs no electricity at all.
C．It recycles the water in many ways.
D．It reheats the house via central heating.
( ) 11．What does the underlined phrase “make a real splash” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Make a big fortune.
B．Draw lots of attention.
C．Form a huge waterfall.
D．Take immediate effect.
D
The past three weeks have witnessed the dramatic rise and fall of a new candidate for the materials science: a superconductor (超导体) that works at room temperature. On July 22th 2023, a team of researchers in South Korea reported their findings on a substance they called LK-99, claiming that its discovery was a “brand new historical moment”. A hit of online physics discussions followed, only to fall flat two weeks later. LK-99, it seemed, was a bubble (泡沫).
Whenever electrical power runs through a transmission (传送) line, some is lost as waste heat, a common tax forced by the laws of nature. The huge potential of superconductors is that they carry electricity over large distances with perfect efficiency, having the greatest impact on energy generation, transmission and distribution. If we ever figure out how to produce them cheaply and make them work at room temperature rather than only at hundreds of degrees below zero, it would revolutionise our economy and help save the environment.
Superconductors can also achieve things like powerful magnetic (磁场的) fields in mid-air, enabling new electronic devices, computers and modes of transportation. This technology has been in development in Japan for decades, with maglev trains originally projected to open to the public in 2027, running at speeds up to 375 miles per hour between Tokyo and Nagoya.
The pull of a room-temperature superconductor grows as our economic and environmental picture darkens. It’s the kind of miracle material that could slow climate change while driving global economy, realised new technologies seen in science fiction.
We still don’t know whether the field of superconductivity research will benefit from the new paths opened up by the LK-99 in the last few weeks. It’s a field where theory and experiment have often challenged each other, and our expectations of what is possible have frequently been questioned by what has been observed. Although public interest will no doubt fade for now, an obvious promise remains: A superconducting golden age might be just over the horizon, and the role of science is clear — to find a way to get us there.
( ) 13. What may happen if superconductors are materialised
A. The electricity bill will become a huge burden.
B. The issue of climate change will be dealt with.
C. The economy and environment will start to fade.
D. The new modes of transportation are more available.
( ) 14. What is the author’s attitude to superconductors
A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Indifferent.
( ) 15. What would be the best title of the text
A. Bubble Burst: Where Is Superconductor LK-99 Going
B. Superconductor: Why It Sends Scientists Heart Racing
C. Material Science: How It Booms with Superconductors
D. Superconductor: How It Becomes the Commander of Technology

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。
By 2050 we’ll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 16 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement.
I’m talking about telepathy (心灵感应), really. We’ll still communicate in the traditional way.
17 Our children will wonder, what is a keyboard We will enter the age of the “brain net”.
Medicine will develop fast, too. We will have cured certain forms of cancer, and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We’ll live with it. It will no longer be deadly. 18 Technology will help in this respect. 19 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies (液体活检) to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.
20 By 2050 I think we’ll be able to grow many of the important organs (器官) of the body and, rather than allow the organs we’re born with to become old and weak, we’ll replace them. That’s all coming. And it doesn’t take much imagination to realise it.
A. We will do a few tests. B. People will live an easy life. C. We won’t fear it like we used to. D. Brain science will have changed communication. E. We can already use human cells to grow skin, noses, ears, etc. F. But communicating telepathically will avoid misunderstandings between people. G. Our clothes will discover the beginnings of a heart disease, and advise us to get treatment.

A couple of days later, Bell Burnell was in her study, and she saw something 35 to the first pulse, and thus 2 pulsars were discovered.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the time train has arrived at the terminal!” It felt like I had woken up from a dream, but soon discovered I had come to 2035. Suddenly, I heard a strange 21 calling my name. I turned around, only to find a robot 22 to me enthusiastically. “I’ll show you around the city in 2035!” I nodded immediately, 23 what the city would be like.
Once I walked out of the train station, many crossed air lanes came into view. The robot, seeing how
24 I was, explained the new traffic system to me. The system was put into place by many famous engineers using highly 25 technology. In fact, it eliminated (消除) the issue of traffic jams entirely.
Next we made our way to a restaurant nearby. Just as I 26 that there was no menu, a waiter began to scan my body with a special 27 , which gave me a big fright, so I 28 out of my seat immediately. The robot explained it was just a machine that was able to figure out what our body needed and chose the recipe that 29 us most. The waiter then introduced me to the electronic screen that allowed me to choose the environment according to my 30 . I pressed the “beach” button on the screen and
31 I felt a sea breeze. I couldn’t help but 32 at how rapidly technology had advanced.
We 33 returned to the train station. Just as I 34 the train, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. I opened my eyes to see my mum standing over me. What a 35 dream!

It would not be surprising if we found it difficult to distinguish between reality and science fiction in the future. For example, robots first appeared in sci-fi novels, but now robot soldiers have already been tested out in war. Robot 36. (expert) have also built robots that can see, talk, and do other things like humans. Although a robot 37. looks more like a human than 38. machine could make many people a bit uncomfortable, we have to admit that it is a 39. (fascinate) possibility. Sophia, currently said to be the most advanced AI robot in the world, is a great example. She 40. (interview) many times, appeared on the covers of magazines, and become the first non-human in the world to be given citizenship by a country. When it comes 41. games, 2017 became a year in which AI defeated humans in so many games that AI researchers say that it will not be long 42. AI can win at almost everything. So have we lost the dignity of being the most intelligent creature Maybe in the future, as AI becomes even more
43. (intelligence), it will become a major threat to humans. 44. , some people dismiss this fear. They believe if AI can handle tasks like 45. (calculate) and driving for us, we will have more time for creating, thinking, and “being human”.

The school festival was buzzing with excitement, all because of a new contest called “Innovate Your Way”. This contest was all about making a costume that was as unique and creative as possible, showcasing what one loves the most.
Lily Adams was surrounded by classmates with cool ideas. One classmate said excitedly, “I’m going to be the whole solar system, with planets circling around me!” One boasted (吹嘘), “I’ll redefine innovation. I will become a walking smartphone from the future, showing the digital age with interactive apps and games.”
Meanwhile, another one came up with the idea to dress up as a live weather forecast. He planned to attach LED screens to his outfit, displaying different weather patterns. This costume would not just show the weather but also change with real-time updates, combining technology and creativity in a way the festival had never seen.
Feeling overwhelmed, Lily wasn’t sure what to do. Her friends had such amazing ideas, and she hadn’t even picked a costume yet. She shared her worries with her friend Noah, saying, “I can’t make up my mind. Every idea seems too hard to do or just not exciting enough.”
Noah, always wise, had a great suggestion. “Why don’t you make a costume about gardening You love it, and it’s something unique to you,” he said. Lily was unsure because the contest was just a few days away. “I don’t know if there’s enough time to make something like that from the beginning,” she worried. But Noah encouraged her, “You have a special talent for making something wonderful out of simple things. Use what’s around you.”
Inspired by Noah’s words, Lily thought over her collection of plants and flowers. Arriving home, she noticed the pile of old gardening magazines and a forgotten green tarp (防水布) in the garage.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
As Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【One possible version】
I firmly hold the view that artificial intelligence will undeniably enter and profoundly influence student life in the near future.
To begin with, AI has the potential to personalise learning journeys. It can analyse students’ performance data and adapt instructional methods accordingly, tailoring lessons to their individual styles and levels of understanding. Moreover, AI can automate routine tasks within educational institutions, such as administrative work and grading, freeing up teachers to focus more on delivering high-quality instruction and nurturing students’ emotional intelligence.
In summary, AI is set to integrate into every aspect of student life, enriching the educational experience and fostering a new era of personalised, efficient, and innovative learning.

【One possible version】
As Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. She would create a costume that showcased her love for gardening! She quickly gathered all the materials she needed — leaves, flowers, and even some small plants. With Noah’s advice in mind, she started to work on her costume, carefully arranging the plants and flowers to create a beautiful garden scene. It was hard work, but Lily loved every minute of it. She spent hours perfecting her creation, adding little details here and there until it was just right.
The day of the contest finally arrived. Lily was nervous as she walked onto the stage, but as soon as she saw the look of amazement on the judges’ faces, she knew she had made the right choice. Her costume was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. It was a living, breathing garden, complete with real plants and flowers. The judges were blown away by her creativity and originality, and Lily won first place in the contest! From that day on, Lily felt more confident in herself and her abilities. She realized that it’s important to follow your passions and do what you love.

Although public interest will no doubt fade for now, an obvious promise remains: A superconducting golden age might be just over the horizon, and the role of science is clear — to find a way to get us there.
( ) 13. What may happen if superconductors are materialised
A. The electricity bill will become a huge burden.
B. The issue of climate change will be dealt with.
C. The economy and environment will start to fade.
D. The new modes of transportation are more available.
( ) 14. What is the author’s attitude to superconductors
A. Neutral. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Indifferent.
( ) 15. What would be the best title of the text
A. Bubble Burst: Where Is Superconductor LK-99 Going
B. Superconductor: Why It Sends Scientists Heart Racing
C. Material Science: How It Booms with Superconductors
D. Superconductor: How It Becomes the Commander of Technology

By 2050 we’ll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 16 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement.
I’m talking about telepathy (心灵感应), really. We’ll still communicate in the traditional way.
17 Our children will wonder, what is a keyboard We will enter the age of the “brain net”.
Medicine will develop fast, too. We will have cured certain forms of cancer, and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We’ll live with it. It will no longer be deadly. 18 Technology will help in this respect. 19 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies (液体活检) to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.
20 By 2050 I think we’ll be able to grow many of the important organs (器官) of the body and, rather than allow the organs we’re born with to become old and weak, we’ll replace them. That’s all coming. And it doesn’t take much imagination to realise it.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The school festival was buzzing with excitement, all because of a new contest called “Innovate Your Way”. This contest was all about making a costume that was as unique and creative as possible, showcasing what one loves the most.
Lily Adams was surrounded by classmates with cool ideas. One classmate said excitedly, “I’m going to be the whole solar system, with planets circling around me!” One boasted (吹嘘), “I’ll redefine innovation. I will become a walking smartphone from the future, showing the digital age with interactive apps and games.”
Meanwhile, another one came up with the idea to dress up as a live weather forecast. He planned to attach LED screens to his outfit, displaying different weather patterns. This costume would not just show the weather but also change with real-time updates, combining technology and creativity in a way the festival had never seen.
Feeling overwhelmed, Lily wasn’t sure what to do. Her friends had such amazing ideas, and she hadn’t even picked a costume yet. She shared her worries with her friend Noah, saying, “I can’t make up my mind. Every idea seems too hard to do or just not exciting enough.”
Noah, always wise, had a great suggestion. “Why don’t you make a costume about gardening You love it, and it’s something unique to you,” he said. Lily was unsure because the contest was just a few days away. “I don’t know if there’s enough time to make something like that from the beginning,” she worried. But Noah encouraged her, “You have a special talent for making something wonderful out of simple things. Use what’s around you.”
Inspired by Noah’s words, Lily thought over her collection of plants and flowers. Arriving home, she noticed the pile of old gardening magazines and a forgotten green tarp (防水布) in the garage.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
As Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I firmly hold the view that artificial intelligence will undeniably enter and profoundly influence student life in the near future.
To begin with, AI has the potential to personalise learning journeys. It can analyse students’ performance data and adapt instructional methods accordingly, tailoring lessons to their individual styles and levels of understanding. Moreover, AI can automate routine tasks within educational institutions, such as administrative work and grading, freeing up teachers to focus more on delivering high-quality instruction and nurturing students’ emotional intelligence.
In summary, AI is set to integrate into every aspect of student life, enriching the educational experience and fostering a new era of personalised, efficient, and innovative learning.

As Lily looked through the magazines, an idea began to take root. She would create a costume that showcased her love for gardening! She quickly gathered all the materials she needed — leaves, flowers, and even some small plants. With Noah’s advice in mind, she started to work on her costume, carefully arranging the plants and flowers to create a beautiful garden scene. It was hard work, but Lily loved every minute of it. She spent hours perfecting her creation, adding little details here and there until it was just right.
The day of the contest finally arrived. Lily was nervous as she walked onto the stage, but as soon as she saw the look of amazement on the judges’ faces, she knew she had made the right choice. Her costume was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. It was a living, breathing garden, complete with real plants and flowers. The judges were blown away by her creativity and originality, and Lily won first place in the contest! From that day on, Lily felt more confident in herself and her abilities. She realized that it’s important to follow your passions and do what you love.
