未来的城市将会是什么样子的，我们无从知晓，但是我们可以大胆畅想，理性规划，用我们的智慧定义一个宜居的未来城市。
Visions(愿景) of the Future of Smart Cities
The smart city vision is well known across the globe. What will smart cities look like and how will they work? We all wonder!
Future smart cities appear in our minds with super－high buildings, flying cars and a greener environment. While smart city visions differ, in the coming decades, cities will become a digital(数字的) blanket.
One of the most shared visions of what could be a smart city includes traffic control, environmental protection, management of energy(能源), healthcare, security and connected buildings.
Smart city visions also rely on new technology which can collect a lot of information in a timely manner. The amount of information on the Internet is expected to grow in a big way. However, because of the relationship between Internet service providers, several problems around privacy have to be considered.
The first item on our wish list for a smart city: self－driving cars! First, we have to keep in mind that they will require special roads. The cars will need to communicate not only with each other but also with the city infrastructure(基础设施). Charging stations will also have to be built. Big parts of the physical infrastructure we know today will be digitalized in order to make the dream come true!
All the information collected will lead to decisions for a better use of space, energy, water, and electricity. For example, being able to forecast traffic jams(交通拥堵) and provide another way for drivers will help to save time.
Another smart technology is solar products that use solar energy allowing streets to power themselves without using electricity.
The switch to smart infrastructure is not simply fashionable. In many ways, it appears to be a main part of the future of smart cities. We can now outline an affordable future smart city vision for the citizens who will live in it.

Dear Mum and Dad，
I still cannot believe that I am taking up② this prize that I won last year.I have to remind myself constantly③ that I am really in AD 3008．Worried about the journey, I was unsettled④ for the first few days.As a result, I suffered from⑤ “time lag”．This is similar to⑥ the “jet lag⑦” you get from flying，but it seems you keep getting flashbacks⑧ from your previous⑨ time period．So I was very nervous and uncertainB10 at first.However，my friend and guide?，Wang Ping，was very understanding and gave me some green tablets? which helped a lot．Well?known for their expertise?， his parents’ company，called “Future Tours”，transported me safely into the future in a time capsule?.

I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess? called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening?. The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes.The capsule began swinging gently sideways?as we lay relaxed and dreaming．A few minutes later，the journey was completed and we had arrived.I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future.What would I find?
◆when the space...opening为when引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the moment。
◆as在此引导时间状语从句。形容词relaxed在此处作状语，说明主语的状态。
At first my new surroundings? were difficult to tolerate?.The air seemed thin，as though its combination? of gases had little oxygen left．Hit by a lackB21 of fresh air, my head achedB22.Just as I tried to make the necessary adjustmentB23 to this new situation，Wang Ping appeared. “Put on this maskB24，”he advised.“It’ll make you feel much better.”He handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for a rest.I felt better in no timeB25.Soon I was back on my feetB26 again and followingB27 him to collect a hoveringB28 carriageB29 driven by computer．These carriages float above the ground and by bendingB30 or pressingB31 down in your seat，you can move swiftlyB32.Wang Ping fastenedB33 my safety beltB34and showed me how to use it.Soon I could fly as fast as him.However, I lost sight ofB35 Wang Ping when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriages flying by in all directions. He was swept upB36 into the centre of them.Just at that moment I had a “time lag” flashback and saw the area again as it had been in the year AD 2008.I realized that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown！Then I caught sight ofB37 Wang Ping again and flew after him.

Arriving at a strange?looking house，he showed me into a large，bright clean room.It had a green wall，a brown floor and soft lighting.Suddenly the wall moved—it was made of trees！I found later that their leaves provided the room withB38 much?needed oxygen．Then Wang Ping flashedB39 a switchB40 on a computer screen，and a table and some chairs rose from underB41 the floor as if by magic．“Why not sit down and eat a little？”he said.“You may find this difficult as it is your first time travel trip.Just relax，since there is nothing planned on the timetableB42 today.Tomorrow you’ll be ready for some visits.”Having said this, he spread some food on the table，and produced a bed from the floor.After he left, I had a brief meal and a hot bath. ExhaustedB43，I slid intoB44 bed and fell fast asleep.

Li Qiang

亲爱的爸爸妈妈：
我还是无法相信我正在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入公元3008年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天心里总是不踏实，结果我得了“时间滞后症”。这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你的脑子里似乎会不断地闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始非常焦虑和心神不定。然而，我的朋友兼导游王平很善解人意，给了我几粒绿色药片，这起了很大的作用。他父母的公司叫作“未来之旅”，因其专业技术而闻名。他们用一个时间舱把我安全地送到了未来。
我仍然记得那个时刻：我们所有人被太空女乘务员叫到时间舱，通过一个小口爬了进去。座位很舒适，喝了杯镇静饮料以后，我们感到昏昏欲睡，然后闭上了眼睛。当我们放松地躺在那里做梦时，时间舱开始向一侧轻轻地摇晃。几分钟以后，旅行结束，我们到了。我仍然在地球上，但是到了一千年以后的未来。我会发现什么呢？
开始的时候，新的环境让我难以忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我努力调整自己适应新环境时，王平出现了。他建议道：“把这个面罩戴上，它会使你感觉好多了。”他把面罩递给我，并立刻催促我去旁边的一个小房间休息。我立刻感到舒服些了。很快，我就完全恢复了，跟着他去领取了一辆由电脑驱动的气垫车。这些气垫车是在地面上方飘浮着的，只要在座位上把操纵杆打弯或压下，你就可以迅速地移动。王平给我系好安全带，并向我展示了怎样使用它。不一会儿我就可以飞得和王平一样快了。然而，当我们到达一个看上去像是个大市场的地方时，由于太多气垫车朝四面八方飞奔，我看不见王平了。他被卷入这群车队中去了。就在那个时刻我经历了一次“时间滞后”的闪回，我再次看到了公元2008年的那个地区。我意识到我(虽然)已被送到了未来，但仍然在自己的家乡！然后我又看到了王平，(于是)跟在他后面飞。
到达一幢看上去很奇怪的房子后，他把我带到一个明亮、洁净的大房间里。墙是绿色的，地板是棕色的，灯光是柔和的。突然墙移动了——墙是由树做成的！后来我发现，这些树的叶子为这个房间提供极其需要的氧气。然后王平让电脑荧屏上的开关上闪了一下，于是一张桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术般地从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃点儿东西呢？”他说道，“因为这是你的第一次时间旅行，你可能会感到有些困难。放松一点，因为今天的时间表上没有计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完，他把一些食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下弄出一张床来。他离开之后，我简单地吃了点儿饭，洗了个热水澡。我感到累极了，爬上床很快就睡着了。
爱你们的儿子以后再告诉你们更多的消息。
李强

A
After my son T．J. was diagnosed with autism(自闭症) at age 2, we went through all the emotions. Our motto in those early years was “Throw everything at him and let’s see what happens.” We gave him every possible learning opportunity. If one thing wasn’t working, we tried something else. We wanted to see what worked best for T．J. and what would make him the most successful.
When T．J. started school, we aimed for the stars. For my husband and me, that meant trying to get him to college. I grew up with that mind－set. But I’m learning now that it’s not the best path for everyone. At age 17, T．J. got stressed out easily in a variety of situations and, with some assistance, could calm himself down. This past winter, as we watched friends with children of T．J.’s age plan college tours, we quietly let go of that definition of success.
We started considering what is the best thing for him. Along the way, we have talked with T．J. about what he wants his future to look like. Now we are trying to find the best way to honor his ideas while overcoming some challenges to help him keep growing. His special educator is on_board_with this plan and is suggesting options for his future. We visited a great residential(提供住宿的) program over spring break, which allows kids to live together, with 24－hour care, and provides opportunities to take a college－level course. We worked with T．J. to structure this program to meet his needs.
We are actively planning his actual future, with him involved every step of the way. It doesn’t look like the college tours a typical high school junior takes, but we are happy with what it is: opportunity and challenge for him and us! We will find our way, together.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者儿子患有自闭症，在面临是否要参加大学考试的时候，她决定让孩子选择一条适合自己的道路。
1．What can we learn about T．J.’s life in the early years?
A．His teachers didn’t give him enough attention.
B．His parents tried every means to help him grow.
C．He became strong to deal with all the situations.
D．He would be too stressed to calm himself down.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“‘Throw everything at him and let’s see what happens.’．.. we tried something else.”可知，在T.J.的早年生活中，作者及丈夫千方百计地帮助儿子成长。
2．What was the author’s definition of success for her son at first?
A．Going to college. B．Being a happy person.
C．Developing an interest. D．Becoming independent.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“When T．J. started school, we aimed for the stars...meant trying to get him to college.”可知，作者原本对儿子取得成功的定义是上大学。
3．The underlined phrase “on board with” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．
A．in favor of B．proud of
C．worried about D．doubtful about
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Now we are trying to find the best way to honor his ideas”及“...is suggesting options for his future.”可知，作者的计划得到了儿子的老师的赞同。
4．What can we infer about T．J.’s future study?
A．He will learn to face challenges alone.
B．He will live happily on the new campus.
C．He will make progress with his parents’ help.
D．He will keep a balance between life and study.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...with him involved every step of the way...We will find our way, together.”可推断，T.J.会在父母的帮助下取得进步。
B
Today, the number of single adults in the U．S. and many other nations is unprecedented(前所未有的)．The condition has left some in panic.Some Americans worry that the country’s moral values may get worse, and one of their top reasons is the large number of single people.But instead of worrying，maybe we should celebrate.
I’m a social scientist, and I’ve spent the past two decades researching and writing about single people. I’ve found that the rise of single living is beneficial to our society and personal relationships.This trend(趋势) has the chance to redefine the traditional meaning of home and community.
For years，communities across the country have been organized by families living in suburban(郊区的) homes.According to a national survey ongoing since 1974，American families have never been less likely to be friends with their neighbors than they are now.But studies have shown that single people are changing the situation.
Single people are more likely than married people to stay in touch with their families and socialize with their friends and neighbors.They tend to participate in more public groups and events，take more art and music classes，and go out to dinner more often.Single people also volunteer more for social service organizations and educational groups.They are also found to develop more confidence and undergo more personal growth and development.For example，they value meaningful work more than married people do.
As the potential for living a meaningful single life becomes more widely known, single living will become more of a real choice.And when single living is a real choice, then getting married will be，too.Fewer people will marry as a way of escaping from single life or simply doing what they are expected to do，and more will choose it because it’s what they really want.If current trends continue，future generations will have more opportunities to pursue the life that suits them best.
【解题导语】 单身人数的增加并不值得恐慌，因为它会对社会和人际关系带来积极影响，同时有利于人们选择适合自己的生活方式。
5．We can learn from the passage that the author________．
A．has long experience of studying married people
B．is positive about the rise of single living
C．is not satisfied with the present society
D．loves the traditional meaning of home
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“But instead of worrying，maybe we should celebrate.”和第二段的“I’ve found that the rise of single living is beneficial to our society and personal relationships.”可以推断，作者对单身生活的增加持肯定态度。
6．The survey since 1974 shows that American families ________．
A．have never made friends with their neighbors
B．are now more likely to make friends with their neighbors
C．are now less likely to make friends with their neighbors
D．were less likely to make friends with their neighbors in the past
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“American families have never been less likely to be friends with their neighbors than they are now.”可知，美国家庭跟邻居交友的情况从未像现在这么少过，即现在美国家庭极少跟邻居交友，故选C项。
7．According to Paragraph 4, single people are likely to ________．
A．love families more than married people
B．set up more volunteer organizations than married people
C．take part in more social activities than married people
D．have higher-paid jobs than married people
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“They tend to participate in more public groups and events...volunteer more for social service organizations and educational groups.”可知，单身人士通常参加的各类社会活动要比已婚人士多。
8．What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Meaningful single living makes single life a good choice.
B．Meaningful single living makes marriage a better choice.
C．Few people will choose to marry in the future.
D．Few people will choose to live a single life in the future.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，有意义的单身生活使得单身成了真正的选择，这样人们就能按自己的需求来选择单身或婚姻。这里作者肯定了有意义的单身生活让单身成为一个不错的选择，但并未否定人们选择婚姻，也没有强调哪种选择更好，故选A项。

A
After my son T．J. was diagnosed with autism(自闭症) at age 2, we went through all the emotions. Our motto in those early years was “Throw everything at him and let’s see what happens.” We gave him every possible learning opportunity. If one thing wasn’t working, we tried something else. We wanted to see what worked best for T．J. and what would make him the most successful.
When T．J. started school, we aimed for the stars. For my husband and me, that meant trying to get him to college. I grew up with that mind－set. But I’m learning now that it’s not the best path for everyone. At age 17, T．J. got stressed out easily in a variety of situations and, with some assistance, could calm himself down. This past winter, as we watched friends with children of T．J.’s age plan college tours, we quietly let go of that definition of success.
We started considering what is the best thing for him. Along the way, we have talked with T．J. about what he wants his future to look like. Now we are trying to find the best way to honor his ideas while overcoming some challenges to help him keep growing. His special educator is on_board_with this plan and is suggesting options for his future. We visited a great residential(提供住宿的) program over spring break, which allows kids to live together, with 24－hour care, and provides opportunities to take a college－level course. We worked with T．J. to structure this program to meet his needs.
We are actively planning his actual future, with him involved every step of the way. It doesn’t look like the college tours a typical high school junior takes, but we are happy with what it is: opportunity and challenge for him and us! We will find our way, together.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者儿子患有自闭症，在面临是否要参加大学考试的时候，她决定让孩子选择一条适合自己的道路。

B．His parents tried every means to help him grow.
C．He became strong to deal with all the situations.
D．He would be too stressed to calm himself down.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“‘Throw everything at him and let’s see what happens.’．.. we tried something else.”可知，在T.J.的早年生活中，作者及丈夫千方百计地帮助儿子成长。
2．What was the author’s definition of success for her son at first?
A．Going to college. B．Being a happy person.
C．Developing an interest. D．Becoming independent.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“When T．J. started school, we aimed for the stars...meant trying to get him to college.”可知，作者原本对儿子取得成功的定义是上大学。
3．The underlined phrase “on board with” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．
A．in favor of B．proud of
C．worried about D．doubtful about
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Now we are trying to find the best way to honor his ideas”及“...is suggesting options for his future.”可知，作者的计划得到了儿子的老师的赞同。
4．What can we infer about T．J.’s future study?
A．He will learn to face challenges alone.
B．He will live happily on the new campus.
C．He will make progress with his parents’ help.

Today, the number of single adults in the U．S. and many other nations is unprecedented(前所未有的)．The condition has left some in panic.Some Americans worry that the country’s moral values may get worse, and one of their top reasons is the large number of single people.But instead of worrying，maybe we should celebrate.
I’m a social scientist, and I’ve spent the past two decades researching and writing about single people. I’ve found that the rise of single living is beneficial to our society and personal relationships.This trend(趋势) has the chance to redefine the traditional meaning of home and community.
For years，communities across the country have been organized by families living in suburban(郊区的) homes.According to a national survey ongoing since 1974，American families have never been less likely to be friends with their neighbors than they are now.But studies have shown that single people are changing the situation.
Single people are more likely than married people to stay in touch with their families and socialize with their friends and neighbors.They tend to participate in more public groups and events，take more art and music classes，and go out to dinner more often.Single people also volunteer more for social service organizations and educational groups.They are also found to develop more confidence and undergo more personal growth and development.For example，they value meaningful work more than married people do.
As the potential for living a meaningful single life becomes more widely known, single living will become more of a real choice.And when single living is a real choice, then getting married will be，too.Fewer people will marry as a way of escaping from single life or simply doing what they are expected to do，and more will choose it because it’s what they really want.If current trends continue，future generations will have more opportunities to pursue the life that suits them best.
【解题导语】 单身人数的增加并不值得恐慌，因为它会对社会和人际关系带来积极影响，同时有利于人们选择适合自己的生活方式。
5．We can learn from the passage that the author________．
A．has long experience of studying married people
B．is positive about the rise of single living
C．is not satisfied with the present society
D．loves the traditional meaning of home
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“But instead of worrying，maybe we should celebrate.”和第二段的“I’ve found that the rise of single living is beneficial to our society and personal relationships.”可以推断，作者对单身生活的增加持肯定态度。
6．The survey since 1974 shows that American families ________．
A．have never made friends with their neighbors
B．are now more likely to make friends with their neighbors
C．are now less likely to make friends with their neighbors
D．were less likely to make friends with their neighbors in the past
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“American families have never been less likely to be friends with their neighbors than they are now.”可知，美国家庭跟邻居交友的情况从未像现在这么少过，即现在美国家庭极少跟邻居交友，故选C项。
7．According to Paragraph 4, single people are likely to ________．
A．love families more than married people
B．set up more volunteer organizations than married people
C．take part in more social activities than married people
D．have higher-paid jobs than married people
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“They tend to participate in more public groups and events...volunteer more for social service organizations and educational groups.”可知，单身人士通常参加的各类社会活动要比已婚人士多。
8．What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Meaningful single living makes single life a good choice.
B．Meaningful single living makes marriage a better choice.
C．Few people will choose to marry in the future.
D．Few people will choose to live a single life in the future.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，有意义的单身生活使得单身成了真正的选择，这样人们就能按自己的需求来选择单身或婚姻。这里作者肯定了有意义的单身生活让单身成为一个不错的选择，但并未否定人们选择婚姻，也没有强调哪种选择更好，故选A项。

“Wait. You’ve always wanted to do that, too？！ Why don’t we do it this summer？！”
That was how it started. My sister and I were talking on the phone when the topic of forest firefighting arose.
Fighting wildfires as a summer job may sound strange, but it’s not uncommon in the western United States. There are at least 50，000 wildfires annually in the U．S., a high number of which happen in the western states. And of course, most happen during the hot months of the year, between May and September. So the need for people willing to spend summers fighting these fires is real!
Federal agencies, such as the U．S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as private contractors(承包商), employ thousands of seasonal firefighters each year. Through a friend, my sister and I were introduced to one of these private contractors. He agreed to employ us for his crew if we took a training course and passed the pack test.
Our training consisted of a two-day course on the basics of wildfire management. We learned what causes wildfires, the tools and techniques for fighting them and safety guidelines.
The pack test requires a person to walk three miles in under 45 minutes while carrying a 45-pound pack. Since most beginners work on Line, Engine or Hotshot Crews—all extremely physical—everyone needs to pass this test. And we did!
We learned that fighting forest fires includes more than simply spraying(喷出) water on flames. The goal is to contain the fire, not put it out entirely. This is done mainly with tools used to remove plants and roots from the ground, creating a line of dirt around the fire. After this, crews watch the line to ensure the fire doesn’t burn more brightly. We also did “mop-up” tasks—going into the burned areas and burying hot spots, such as burning tree trunks. Though firefighting is difficult and dangerous, it’s definitely rewarding.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者描述了他和妹妹暑期为应聘森林消防员而参与的培训和测试及其心得。
1．What does Paragraph 3 mainly explain?
A．Why there’s a great need for forest firefighters.
B．Who is the right person for the firefighting job.
C．When is the best time to take the firefighting job.
D．Why so many wildfires happen in the U．S. every year.

2．Before becoming summer firefighters, the author and his sister ________．
A．received formal training for beginners
B．got permission from the U．S. Forest Service
C．had never heard any information about this job
D．had a heated discussion about the safety of the job

3．Which of the following can best describe the pack test?
A．Safety-related.

4．What does the underlined word “contain” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Fight. B．Build.
C．Detect. D．Control.
D 解析：词义猜测题。由画线词后的“not put it out entirely”以及除喷水以外的救火方式“with tools...creating a line of dirt around the fire”可知，扑救森林火灾的目的其实在于控制火势，而非完全扑灭。

A new report from the International Bar Association(IBA) suggests machines will most likely replace humans in a growing number of occupations. One of the authors of the report, Gerlind Wisskirchen, believes that governments need to introduce human quotas(配额) in some sectors in order to protect jobs.
The report suggests that the jobs at risk are common ones, such as accountants and lawyers. Financial services are more at risk than legal roles though, as algorithms(计算程序) are easier for a computer to solve when compared to keeping client relationships and making new laws. Simple physical work is also in the firing line, the authors mention.
As the world population heads towards 7 to 10 billion, futurist Morris Miselowski says, “I’m not sure that this nine-to-five, Monday to Friday work as we understand it, will continue for many of us for the next couple of decades.” He forecasts that the biggest changes will be a shift(转变) away from the traditional work schedule.
“Artificial Intelligence(AI)．.. and all sorts of new technologies are just about to happen；all of that’s going to change where, how and when we do work.”
Ms. Wisskirchen was surprised by how far-reaching the effects of automation(自动化) are.
“Even though automation began 30 years ago in the blue-collar sector, the new development of artificial intelligence and robotics affects not just the blue-collar sector, but the white-collar sector，” said Ms. Wisskirchen.
Toby Walsh, professor of Artificial Intelligence at UNSW, said there was a silver lining when it came to technology and the future of jobs.
“It’s always good to remember that although technology will take jobs away as they raise in this report, there will also be new jobs created by technology，” he said. “In fact if we look at the history of technology since the Industrial Revolution, more jobs have been created than destroyed.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一份来自国际律师协会的最新报告探讨了科技对未来人类工作的影响。

A．More jobs will be offered to humans.
B．Someday humans won’t need to work.

D．Someday robots will take over your job.
D 解析：推理判断题。由首段的“machines will most likely replace humans in a growing number of occupations”和第二段的“the jobs at risk are common ones, such as accountants and lawyers”可知，来自国际律师协会的这份报告传达的信息是某一天机器人可能会取代人类的工作。
6．According to Morris Miselowski, what will happen in the future?
A．AI will make humans’ life easier.
B．Physical work will disappear from sight.
C．The traditional work hours will be changed.
D．Automation will have little effect on lawyers.

My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space. Described as an enormous② round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate③ the pull of the earth’s gravity. Inside was an exhibition of the most up?to?date④ inventions of the 31st century. A guide(G) showed us around along a moveable⑤ path.
◆过去分词短语considered the most modern in space作a space station的后置定语。
◆过去分词短语Described as an enormous round plate作状语。
◆本句主语较长，为避免句子头重脚轻，将表语提前，句子使用了完全倒装。
G：Good morning to all our visitors from 2008. First we’re going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens⑥. No more typists⑦ working on a typewriter⑧ or computer! No more postage⑨ or postcodes⑩！ Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”. You place the metal band over your head，clear your mind, press the sending button?， think your message and the next instant? it’s sent. It’s stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver?. It’s quick, efficient? and environmentally friendly?. The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent. But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user, can we?
◆此处为省略句。全句补充完整为：There are no more typists working on a typewriter or computer！现在分词短语working on a typewriter or computer作后置定语，修饰typists。
◆现在分词短语using a “thoughtpad”作方式状语。
◆if至本句末为表语从句，其中if the user...clearly为条件状语从句。
During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called “thoughtpads” on a table.They just looked like metal ribbons?.So ordinary but so powerful！While I was observing them，the path moved us on.
G：And now ladies and gentlemen，we are in the“environment area”. People used to? collect waste in dustbins?. Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right？(We nodded.) Well, now there’s a system where the waste is disposed? of using the principles of ecology?. A giant machine，always greedyB21 for more，swallowsB22 all the waste available.The rubbish is turned intoB23 several grades of useful materialB24, such as “fertilizer” for the fields and “soil” for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags, is recycledB25. A great idea, isn’t it?
I stared at the moving model of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiencyB26. But again we moved on.
◆where至句末为定语从句，修饰a system。
◆过去分词短语absorbed...efficiency作状语。
G：Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices. ManufacturingB27 no longer takes place on the earth but on space stations like this one.A group of engineers programmeB28 robots to perform tasks in space. The robots produce goodsB29 such as drugs，clothes, furniture, hovering carriages, etcB30. There is no waste，no pollution and no environmental damage！However，the companies have to train their representativesB31 to live and work in space settlementsB32. They have to monitorB33 the robots and the production. When the goods are ready they’re transported by industrial spaceship back to earth.
My mind began to wanderB34. What job would I do？My motivationB35 increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future．
◆that至句末为定语从句，修饰先行词the changes。
◆as在此引导时间状语从句。
我看到了奇妙的东西
我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。太空站被描述成一个巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓地旋转，以模仿地心的引力。太空站里展出了31世纪最前沿的发明。有个导游带领我们沿着一条可移动的运送带到各处参观。
导游：从2008年来访的朋友们，早上好！首先，我们要查看我们太空居民使用的最新的通信方式中的一种。再也不需要打字员在打字机或电脑上工作了！再也不需要邮费和邮政编码了！现在我们可以通过一种“思想仪”来发送信息。你把金属带放在头上，整理思路，按下发送按钮，然后想着你要发送的信息，刹那间信息就发出去了。它被存储在接受者的“思想仪”里。它快捷、有效，而且环保。唯一的不足之处是，如果使用者没有想清楚要发送的信息，发送出去的信息就可能是模糊的。但我们不能将使用者的过错归咎于工具，是吗？
在导游解说之际，我看了看桌子上这副被称为“思想仪”的小东西。它们看上去就像金属丝带。如此普通却又如此神通广大！当我还在观察它们时，运送带又载着我们向前移动了。
导游：女士们，先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。人们过去常用垃圾箱收集废弃物，然后垃圾会被送去掩埋或焚烧，对不对？(我们点点头。)那么，现在有一种系统，能利用生态学原理来处理废弃物。一台巨型机器，始终贪婪地张着大嘴，把所有得到的垃圾(一口)吞了下去。垃圾被转化成几种按等级归类的有用的材料，如用于田地的“肥料”和用于沙漠的“土壤”。什么都不浪费，所有的东西，即使是塑料袋也被回收利用了。绝妙的主意，不是吗？
我注视着这台转动着的垃圾分解机器模型，被它的效率吸引。但是，我们又开始向前移动了。
导游：第三站要展示给我们的是发生在生产实践中的变化。批量生产不再在地球上进行，而是转移到了这样的太空站里。一组工程师给机器人设计了程序让它们在太空中执行任务。机器人生产像药品、衣服、家具和气垫车之类的商品。没有废弃物，没有污染，也没有对环境的危害！但是，这些公司必须培训他们的代表来让他们能在空间站生活和工作。他们必须监视机器人及其生产。货物生产出来之后，就被工业宇宙飞船运回地球。
我的思绪开始漫游。我能做什么工作呢？当我想到未来的美好世界时，我的积极性提高了。

阅读理解
A few years ago, I read about an eight-year-old girl who studied elephant poaching(偷猎) in school and made a poster for her local grocery store.The slogan read，“Save the elephants.Don’t buy Ivory Soap, or they will die out.”What the girl had done taught me a lesson.Since then，I have looked at eight-year-olds in a different way.As an environmental educator, I used to teach eight-year-olds about the harm of elephant poaching, rainforest destruction, and global warming.I had a degree in natural science—but not in child development.What did I think I was accomplishing by putting my environmental concerns on the shoulders of kids who still believe in fairy tales(童话故事)?
Kids develop the fear of nature when their primary contact with the natural world is hearing bad news about the environment.If I wanted to inspire conservation action, I needed to change my ways, but how？I came across some research by psychologist Louise Chawla.She wanted to know what had gone on in the childhoods of adults who are good environmental citizens.She found two things most common.They had free time to explore the rivers or woods down the street, and they had an adult in their lives who was enthusiastic about the natural world.I understand now that what turned me into a good person today was a childhood spent playing in the field and having a dad who knew that finding a lobster(龙虾) under a rock was better than finding treasure.
So that’s what I was doing when I was eight years old—looking under rocks, climbing trees, and picking wild flowers.I didn’t know a thing about the Clean Air Act that was being debated in congress at that time.I didn’t hear a lot of environmental problems.But I built a relationship with nature and I grew up to care.Now I treat my own kids like the child I was.My kids turn off the water when they brush their teeth and turn off the lights when they leave a room.
【解题导语】 人类赖以生存的大自然正在被严重破坏，保护环境应该从孩子抓起，帮助孩子从小建立与自然的关系。
1．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A．The author felt very proud of herself.
B．The author took action to save the elephants.
C．The author thought her teaching was a failure.
D．The author doubted the natural science.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What did I think...believe in fairy tales(童话故事)？”以及第二段的“I needed to change my ways”可知，作者认为自己的教育方法是不可取的。
2．How do children react when learning about environmental problems?
A．They tend to ignore the problems.
B．They become scared of nature.
C．They hate to learn natural science.
D．They want to help solve the problems.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Kids develop the fear...bad news about the environment.”可知，让孩子们了解了环境问题会导致他们对大自然产生恐惧。
3．The author mentions the research in order to show________．
A．how to have a happy childhood
B．what the best way to get close to nature is
C．how to change children’s bad behavior
D．what makes children care about the environment
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She wanted to know what...environmental citizens.”可知，该研究主要解释了是什么影响了孩子，让他们长大后为保护环境出一份力。
4．What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．The harm of hunting animals.
B．The causes of environmental problems.
C．The importance of encouraging kids to protect nature.
D．The right methods of developing children’s idea of nature.
D 解析：主旨大意题。本文主要阐述了教育和环境保护之间的关系，作者通过实例论述了一个道理：让孩子拥有环保思想的正确教育方式不是让他们感到害怕，而是让他们心中充满对大自然的爱。
七选五
Struggles and difficulties are part of life. You cannot avoid these problems. If you get easily depressed(沮丧的) by the problems in your life, take time to read the following steps in resolving(解决) problems.
1．________ When you know what your problems are, you are ready to face and resolve them. Take time to reflect and start writing down what makes your life difficult. Recognize one by one all the problems that are bothering you to enjoy life.
Face your problems. You may often tend to avoid problems because of the discomfort they bring to you. However, avoiding them doesn’t solve your problems. 2.________ Be strong in facing your problems.
Resolve your problems. Once you have the courage to face your problems, you are ready to decide on the solution or the next step. Remember, anger, worry or misery won’t change anything; it will only leave you with ill feelings. 3.________
Remember the lessons learned. 4.________ However, if the lesson isn’t learned, there’s a huge possibility that the problem will appear again in the future. In every problem that arises in your life, try to learn the lesson and carry it as you move forward in life.
Be ready for problems. Accept problems as part of the imperfection that makes life more meaningful and worth living. 5.________ The same is true that if there are no problems and difficulties, there will be no happiness.
A．Recognize your problems.
B．Never lose your value as a person.
C．Once the problem is resolved, move on and let it go.

E．The condition will only change when you start to think the solution carefully.
F．It will only increase the damage and difficulty when problems are left unsolved.
G．Problems are actually good for you because they are a way for you to learn a lesson.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了解决问题的几个步骤。
1．A 解析：此空设于段首，是本段主题句。该段后面的内容“know what your problems are”及“Recognize one by one all the problems”都是对该主题句的具体阐释。
2．F 解析：此空设于段中，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。该句中的It指的是上文的“avoiding them”。这里进一步说明搁置问题不去面对，只会增加困难与损失。
3．E 解析：此空设于段尾，与前一句形成递进关系，说明只有当你仔细考虑解决问题的方法后，情况才有可能转变。
4．G 解析：此空设于段中，与主题句形成解释关系，说明问题的存在恰好是吸取教训的机会。
5．D 解析：此空设于段中，承上启下，是一个过渡句，告诉我们不经历苦难，就难以取得成就。

Kids develop the fear of nature when their primary contact with the natural world is hearing bad news about the environment.If I wanted to inspire conservation action, I needed to change my ways, but how？I came across some research by psychologist Louise Chawla.She wanted to know what had gone on in the childhoods of adults who are good environmental citizens.She found two things most common.They had free time to explore the rivers or woods down the street, and they had an adult in their lives who was enthusiastic about the natural world.I understand now that what turned me into a good person today was a childhood spent playing in the field and having a dad who knew that finding a lobster(龙虾) under a rock was better than finding treasure.
So that’s what I was doing when I was eight years old—looking under rocks, climbing trees, and picking wild flowers.I didn’t know a thing about the Clean Air Act that was being debated in congress at that time.I didn’t hear a lot of environmental problems.But I built a relationship with nature and I grew up to care.Now I treat my own kids like the child I was.My kids turn off the water when they brush their teeth and turn off the lights when they leave a room.

过去分词作状语的类型
过去分词作状语，可以表示时间、让步、条件、原因、方式和结果，相当于一个状语从句。其逻辑主语为主句的主语，且与主句主语之间构成逻辑上的被动关系。
1．过去分词作时间状语
相当于时间状语从句。可在过去分词前加上连词“when, while, until”等，使其时间意义更明确。
◆Looked at from a distance, the painting seems much more beautiful.
＝When it is looked at from a distance, the painting seems much more beautiful.
当从远处看时，这幅画似乎更美了。
◆Asked for his views about his teaching job, Philip said he found it very interesting and rewarding.
＝When he was asked for his views about his teaching job, Philip said he found it very interesting and rewarding.
当被问到对教学工作的看法时，菲利普说他发现它既有趣又有意义。
2．过去分词作原因状语
过去分词作原因状语时，可转换为由since, because或as引导的原因状语从句，这类状语多放在句子的前半部分。
◆Worried about the exam, I was unsettled in these days.
＝Because I was worried about the exam, I was unsettled in these days.
由于担心考试，我这几天感到不安。
3．过去分词作条件状语
过去分词作条件状语时，可转换为if, once或unless等引导的条件状语从句。
◆Grown in rich soil, these seeds can grow fast.
＝If they are grown in rich soil, these seeds can grow fast.
如果种在肥沃的土壤里，这些种子能长得很快。
◆Given a few minutes, I’ll finish the report.
＝If I am given a few minutes, I’ll finish the report.
再给几分钟的时间，我就会完成这个报告。
4．过去分词作让步状语
过去分词作让步状语时，相当于一个以though/although引导的让步状语从句。
◆Encouraged by his parents，he still has no confidence in overcoming the difficulties.
＝Though he was encouraged by his parents, he still has no confidence in overcoming the difficulties.
尽管受到了父母的鼓励，他仍然没有信心克服困难。
◆Invited by him, I won’t take part in the party.
＝Though I was invited by him, I won’t take part in the party. 即使被他邀请，我也不会参加聚会的。
5．过去分词作方式/伴随状语
过去分词作方式或伴随状语时，通常不能转换为状语从句，但可用并列分句代替。
◆The patient got off the bed, supported by the nurse.
＝The patient got off the bed, and he was supported by the nurse.
那个病人在护士的搀扶下下了床。
◆She accepted the gift, deeply moved.
＝She accepted the gift, and she was deeply moved.
她接受了礼物，深深地被感动了。
值得注意的是，有些过去分词(短语)因来源于系表结构，作状语时不强调被动而重在描述主语的状态。这样的过去分词(短语)常见的有：lost(迷路); seated(坐); hidden(躲); lost/absorbed in(沉溺于); dressed in(穿着); tired of(厌烦)。
◆Lost in thought, he didn’t hear the bell.
由于陷入沉思之中，他没有听到铃声。
【典例】 (2018·北京卷)Ordinary soap，____________(use) correctly, can deal with bacteria effectively.
[解析] 句意：普通的香皂，只要使用正确，就可以有效除菌。本题考查非谓语动词作状语。use与其逻辑主语为被动关系，故填过去分词used。
[答案] used
过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别
过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，即表示被动；现在分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即表示主动。
[助记] 分词作状语记忆口诀
分词作状语，主语是问题。
前后两动作，共用一主语。
主语找出后，再来判关系。
主动用-ing，被动用-ed。
【典例】 (2018·全国卷Ⅲ)Everyone was silent，wait to see who would be called upon to read his or her paragraph aloud.____________________
[解析] 主语Everyone与wait为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语，因此将wait改成waiting。
[答案] wait→waiting

Join Us for the Opening of the Schools of
the Future Exhibition-event
The year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren heads over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets(头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating(全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment(评估) to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it? Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver’s campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We’re now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We’ll be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
We’d love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.
Date：Sunday, June 17
Time：6：30 p．m. to 8：30 p．m.

Dogs do put on their puppy eyes to pull on our emotional feelings, new research has found. Experts find the pets raise their brows when they are being looked at, making their eyes look bigger, as well as showing a number of other expressions. Our four-legged friends do not respond with more facial expressions upon seeing tasty food, however. This suggests that they change facial expressions to communicate rather than expressing their excitement.
One movement AU101, which we would call puppy dog eyes, is used by dogs frequently when they are being watched by a person. The Portsmouth team believes the increase in the use of this expression shows an awareness on the part of dogs of the benefits it can bring.
The researchers said there could be two possible reasons. Firstly, AU101 looks like a facial movement which in humans expresses sadness, and potentially makes humans feel more empathic(移情作用的) towards dogs that produce this movement more. Another possibility is that AU101 lets the eyes of the dogs appear bigger and lovelier. Regardless of the exact theory, it seems that humans are particularly responsive to this facial movement in dogs. Increased production of this movement in response to human attention could benefit dogs in their interaction with humans, therefore.
Historically, animals’ facial expressions have been considered to be involuntary displays. They are thought to reflect an emotional state rather than active attempts to communicate with others. In species of monkeys and apes outside humans, facial expressions have been shown to be responsive to the presence of an audience. This suggests they may have some understanding of whether their facial expressions can be seen by others.
Until now, there has been no evidence that facial expressions in other species are produced with similar sensitivity(敏感) to the attention of an audience. The Portsmouth team argues that their data points to a more adaptable system in dogs, which combines both emotional and potentially cognitive(认知的) processes.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究：狗的面部表情变化到底意味着什么？
4．What do we learn from the research?
A．Dogs always love raising their brows.
B．Dogs become excited when being looked at.
C．Dogs use different facial expressions to communicate.
D．Dogs make more facial expressions when seeing delicious food.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“showing a number of other expressions”及“This suggests that they change facial expressions to communicate rather than expressing their excitement.”可知，狗使用不同的面部表情是为了交流。
5．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The Portsmouth team.
B．The use of AU101．
C．The dog’s awareness.
D．The benefit dogs get.
B 解析：代词指代题。根据第二段最后一句可知，狗频繁使用这个表情表明它意识到这个表情可以给它带来好处，因此可推知，it指的是AU101这个面部表情的使用。
6．Why do dogs make AU101 movements?
A．To show their desire.
B．To make new friends.
C．To draw more attention from people.
D．To get benefit from humans’ positive reaction.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Regardless of the exact theory...responsive to this facial movement in dogs.”以及“Increased production of this movement...could benefit dogs in their interaction with humans, therefore.”可知，狗做这个动作是因为可以从人的回应中得到好处。
7．What do we learn from the passage?
A．Monkeys may know of their facial expressions.
B．Apes are used to making sad facial expressions.
C．Animals like communicating with facial expressions.
D．Many species can understand humans’ facial expressions well.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“This suggests they may have some understanding of whether their facial expressions can be seen by others.”可知，猿和猴子可能知道自己的面部表情。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了快乐工作日。
1．while 解析：考查连词。此处连词while表示对比，意为“而；然而”。
2．stressful 解析：考查形容词。此处用形容词修饰后面的名词place。
3．to relax 解析：考查动词不定式。动词不定式短语to relax在句子中作定语。员工几乎没有时间去娱乐和放松。
4．The 解析：考查冠词。根据语境可知，快乐工作日的意义在于如果员工能常放松、常笑的话，工作效率会更高。这里特指这种观点。
5．Allowing 解析：考查非谓语动词。动名词短语Allowing workers to have fun在句子中作主语。
6．like 解析：考查介词。根据后文列举的例子，可知此处应填like，表示“像……那样的”。
7．experts 解析：考查名词。根据语境可知，快乐工作这个话题被专家研究过，expert为可数名词，故用其复数形式。
8．called 解析：考查非谓语动词。此处过去分词called在句子中作a book的后置定语。
9．helps 解析：考查谓语动词。名词短语fun at work在句中作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。故填helps。
10．happily 解析：考查副词。每个人每天都应该快乐地工作，生活正是如此。

The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating(全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment(评估) to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it? Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver’s campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We’re now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We’ll be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
We’d love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.
Date：Sunday, June 17
Time：6：30 p．m. to 8：30 p．m.
Location：The Guardian, 90 York Way, London, N19GU
Cost：Free
Speakers：Charles Leadbeater, author and education advisor
Margaret Cox OBE, professor of information technology in education, King’s College London Tom Sherrington, headteacher, Highbury Grove School
Liz Sproat, head of education, EMEA, Google

Dogs do put on their puppy eyes to pull on our emotional feelings, new research has found. Experts find the pets raise their brows when they are being looked at, making their eyes look bigger, as well as showing a number of other expressions. Our four-legged friends do not respond with more facial expressions upon seeing tasty food, however. This suggests that they change facial expressions to communicate rather than expressing their excitement.
One movement AU101, which we would call puppy dog eyes, is used by dogs frequently when they are being watched by a person. The Portsmouth team believes the increase in the use of this expression shows an awareness on the part of dogs of the benefits it can bring.
The researchers said there could be two possible reasons. Firstly, AU101 looks like a facial movement which in humans expresses sadness, and potentially makes humans feel more empathic(移情作用的) towards dogs that produce this movement more. Another possibility is that AU101 lets the eyes of the dogs appear bigger and lovelier. Regardless of the exact theory, it seems that humans are particularly responsive to this facial movement in dogs. Increased production of this movement in response to human attention could benefit dogs in their interaction with humans, therefore.
Historically, animals’ facial expressions have been considered to be involuntary displays. They are thought to reflect an emotional state rather than active attempts to communicate with others. In species of monkeys and apes outside humans, facial expressions have been shown to be responsive to the presence of an audience. This suggests they may have some understanding of whether their facial expressions can be seen by others.
Until now, there has been no evidence that facial expressions in other species are produced with similar sensitivity(敏感) to the attention of an audience. The Portsmouth team argues that their data points to a more adaptable system in dogs, which combines both emotional and potentially cognitive(认知的) processes.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究：狗的面部表情变化到底意味着什么？
4．What do we learn from the research?
A．Dogs always love raising their brows.
B．Dogs become excited when being looked at.
C．Dogs use different facial expressions to communicate.
D．Dogs make more facial expressions when seeing delicious food.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“showing a number of other expressions”及“This suggests that they change facial expressions to communicate rather than expressing their excitement.”可知，狗使用不同的面部表情是为了交流。
5．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The Portsmouth team.
B．The use of AU101．
C．The dog’s awareness.
D．The benefit dogs get.
B 解析：代词指代题。根据第二段最后一句可知，狗频繁使用这个表情表明它意识到这个表情可以给它带来好处，因此可推知，it指的是AU101这个面部表情的使用。
6．Why do dogs make AU101 movements?
A．To show their desire.
B．To make new friends.
C．To draw more attention from people.
D．To get benefit from humans’ positive reaction.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Regardless of the exact theory...responsive to this facial movement in dogs.”以及“Increased production of this movement...could benefit dogs in their interaction with humans, therefore.”可知，狗做这个动作是因为可以从人的回应中得到好处。
7．What do we learn from the passage?
A．Monkeys may know of their facial expressions.
B．Apes are used to making sad facial expressions.
C．Animals like communicating with facial expressions.
D．Many species can understand humans’ facial expressions well.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“This suggests they may have some understanding of whether their facial expressions can be seen by others.”可知，猿和猴子可能知道自己的面部表情。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了快乐工作日。
1．while 解析：考查连词。此处连词while表示对比，意为“而；然而”。
2．stressful 解析：考查形容词。此处用形容词修饰后面的名词place。
3．to relax 解析：考查动词不定式。动词不定式短语to relax在句子中作定语。员工几乎没有时间去娱乐和放松。
4．The 解析：考查冠词。根据语境可知，快乐工作日的意义在于如果员工能常放松、常笑的话，工作效率会更高。这里特指这种观点。
5．Allowing 解析：考查非谓语动词。动名词短语Allowing workers to have fun在句子中作主语。
6．like 解析：考查介词。根据后文列举的例子，可知此处应填like，表示“像……那样的”。
7．experts 解析：考查名词。根据语境可知，快乐工作这个话题被专家研究过，expert为可数名词，故用其复数形式。
8．called 解析：考查非谓语动词。此处过去分词called在句子中作a book的后置定语。
9．helps 解析：考查谓语动词。名词短语fun at work在句中作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。故填helps。
10．happily 解析：考查副词。每个人每天都应该快乐地工作，生活正是如此。

Permanent People
Sometimes we’ll dream about what we will be like in the future.As we all know, everything in the world is developing and changing.
With the development of science and technology, all body parts will be replaceable, so it will become harder to tell the differences between the human and the machine in the future.What’s more, a machine will fun_ction like a human with the ability to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way.
We will then be able to create a copy of ourselves and input our memories and thoughts into the new body.As a result, another “we” will appear to be alive long after we are dead.Then we can live for as long as we want.
In my opinion, the dream is attractive, and maybe it will come true.
