Ⅳ.阅读理解
What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists (未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared 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 by computers.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. The demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don?t act now.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of them 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.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?

Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文从多个方面对2050年的生活进行了展望,同时也表达了些许担忧,如水资源短缺,克隆技术等。
1.A　写作意图题。开篇接连几个问句的出现,目的在于激发读者的兴趣,让读者充满期待,继续读完文章。
2.D　 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computers.”可知这些事物将会通过电脑进入我们的生活,但并不是说电脑会最终代替媒体,所以A错误;根据倒数第二段可知机器人将代替人类完成一些工作,但并不能说机器人能够完全替代人类,所以选项B错误;根据第四段可知选项C是人类现在的技术。根据第二段可知D正确。
3.B　观点态度题。根据全文的描述可知作者对未来的生活进行了乐观的预测,但对未来的克隆技术和水资源短缺问题心存担忧。
4.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.”可知医学技术将可以攻克许多疾病,与选项A(并不是所有疾病都能被科学家们攻克)相吻合。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了中国的“新四大发明”:高速铁路、电子支付、共享自行车和网上购物,以及它们对人们生活的影响。
1.ability　考查词形转换。中国再一次用“新四大发明”展示了改变世界的能力。its后边接名词形式,故填ability。
2.which　考查定语从句。句意:它们与中国的高科技创新有关,这提高了人们的生活质量。此句是非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,故用which指代主句内容并作从句的主语。
3.made　考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语作定语,a survey与make之间是被动关系,故用过去分词made作定语,修饰a survey。
4.simply　考查副词。 修饰短语with a fingertip on my phone,故用副词simply表示“仅仅,简单地”。
5.a　考查冠词。此处用不定冠词表示泛指意义;university的读音是以辅音音素开头的,故用不定冠词a修饰。
6.themselves　考查反身代词。此处表示“自行车本身”,故用反身代词themselves。
7.is based　考查被动语态。主语the operating model of bike-sharing是第三人称单数形式,且与base之间是被动关系;结合语境时态可知填is based。
8.encouraging　考查动名词。在介词in之后作宾语,故用encouraging。
9.because　考查连词。部分原因是中国跳过了PC时代……。根据句意可知,用because引导原因状语从句。
10.largest　考查形容词最高级。中国拥有世界上最多的手机用户。根据定冠词the 可知,用最高级largest。
