未来的城市
未来的城市会是什么样子的？谁也说不准，并且预测也是件冒险的事。但唯一确知的是——城市在变得更小之前会变得更大。在未来，爱护环境将变得很重要，因为地球上的自然资源濒临枯竭。我们将会使用大量的回收材料，例如塑料、铝、钢铁、玻璃、木材和纸，并且我们浪费的自然资源将会减少。我们也将不得不更多地依赖于可替代能源，例如：太阳能和风能。所有的这些似乎是肯定的，但是还有许多关于未来城市生活的事情仍是不确定的。
为了了解年轻人对未来城市生活的想法，美国得克萨斯州的一位大学老师让他的学生们思考他们将如何管理一个在2025年拥有5万人口的城市。下面是他们的一些构想：
垃圾飞船 为了摆脱垃圾问题的困扰，城市将用巨型宇宙飞船装载废弃材料发往太阳，防止垃圾填埋和环境问题。
防爆网 警察逮捕罪犯时，将会向罪犯射出网状物而不是用枪。
戒烟 未来的城市市内将不允许吸烟。只有在郊区和户外才有可能允许吸烟。
告别商厦 将来所有的购物将会在网上进行，商品目录将会有用于订购的语音指令。
终生电话 每个人在出生时都会被给予一个电话号码，无论他们生活在什么地方，这个号码都不会改变。
娱乐 所有的娱乐形式，例如：电影院、保龄球、垒球、音乐会和其他一些形式都将由该市免费提供。
汽车 所有的汽车都将由电能、太阳能或风能提供动力。并且只要轻轻按一下开关就可能会改变汽车的颜色。
远程手术 医生在几千英里以外为病人动手术的远程治疗成为常事，因为每个城市都有自己的远程诊所。
居家度假 老年人和身体有残疾的人通过使用绑在头上的高科技的相机就能周游世界。
太空遨游 普通市民遨游太空将会变得很平常。每个城市都将有自己的宇航基地。

A
The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits”containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear. Others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more at home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, and then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and new articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes. We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet, there won’t be any other choice.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，讲述了未来人类的生活情景。
1．Homes of the future will ________．
A．be completely different from those of today
B．be very similar to our homes
C．all be different from one another
D．not be movable as you want
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“No two homes will be the same.”可知，在未来，将不会存在两座完全一样的房子，故选C。
2．Space trips and staying in space hotels will ________．
A．become a very common way to spend a holiday
B．be the cheapest holiday option for families
C．attract a lot of people
D．still only be for very rich people
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，太空度假不是每个人都能享受得到的，因为它并不便宜，只有有钱人才能享受到，故选D。
3．E-paper will replace traditional paper because ________．
A．we can download information and new articles from the Internet onto it
B．it won’t waste natural resources
C．it will be cheaper to produce
D．it will be convenient to carry
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，传统的纸将不会存在，电子纸将取代传统的纸，因为电子纸能反复使用，这有利于节省自然资源。
4．We will have to move to another planet ________．
A．if we want to save the human race
B．when we explore the universe
C．when the earth explodes
D．when the earth is too crowded for people to live on
A 解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后两句可知，我们人类要么待在地球上，随地球一起消失，要么就离开，转移到其他星球上生存，我们别无选择。
B
High－tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low－tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast the bun. High－tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make for better－tasting meals.
Most people get their news from high－tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high－tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or e－mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you won’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word－process a homework assignment instead of writing it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.
【解题导语】 现代化的科技使得我们的生活更加简便，但是当现代传媒与传统介质进行比较时，双方是否互有长短呢？
5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer likes high－tech cooking.
B．Low－tech cooking produces better－tasting meals.
C．High－tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.
D．Handwritten homework is better than word－processed homework.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，高效率的烹饪节省时间但是不一定美味。
6．How does the writer feel about high－tech tools?
A．Better late than never.
B．Easy come, easy go.
C．Every coin has two sides.
D．Learn to walk before you run.
C 解析：推理判断题。高效率的工具速度快，但是并不能保证质量比传统方法更好。因此新工具有好有坏，即事物都有两面性。
7．What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A．High－tech vs low－tech.
B．Advantages vs disadvantages.
C．Newspapers and magazines vs television and the Internet.
D．Word－processing vs handwriting.
A 解析：主旨大意题。文章主要是讲了高效现代化的器械与传统工具比较的优势与劣势。
8．How is the text organized?
A．Main idea－Argument－Explanation.
B．Opinion－Discussion－Description.
C．Topic－Comparison－Supporting examples.
D．Introduction－Supporting examples－Discussion.
C 解析：篇章结构题。文章主要是通过不断的举例子来行文的。

It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high－tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or e－mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you won’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word－process a homework assignment instead of writing it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.
【解题导语】 现代化的科技使得我们的生活更加简便，但是当现代传媒与传统介质进行比较时，双方是否互有长短呢？
5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer likes high－tech cooking.
B．Low－tech cooking produces better－tasting meals.
C．High－tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.
D．Handwritten homework is better than word－processed homework.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，高效率的烹饪节省时间但是不一定美味。
6．How does the writer feel about high－tech tools?
A．Better late than never.
B．Easy come, easy go.

7．What is the main subject discussed in the text?
A．High－tech vs low－tech.
B．Advantages vs disadvantages.
C．Newspapers and magazines vs television and the Internet.
D．Word－processing vs handwriting.

8．How is the text organized?
A．Main idea－Argument－Explanation.
B．Opinion－Discussion－Description.
C．Topic－Comparison－Supporting examples.
D．Introduction－Supporting examples－Discussion.
C 解析：篇章结构题。文章主要是通过不断的举例子来行文的。

阅读理解
A
Life will probably be very different in 2050.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.Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away.By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in this 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.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don’t save now.
In the future, 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.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.By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes and 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?
【解题导语】 本文主要讲到2050年，高科技在信息来源、农业、汽车、太空飞机、机器人及克隆方面带给人们的影响。
1．By 2050, people will get information mainly by________．
A．watching TV B．reading newspapers
C．listening to the radio D．turning to a website
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段末句“By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in this way.”可知到了2050年， 人们了解信息的方式将会主要依靠网络。
2．From the second paragraph, we learn that________．
A．the need for water in the future will increase a lot
B．future wars will lead to an increasing need for water
C．there can be no agriculture without enough water
D．the population will decrease for lack of water
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.”可知农业发展迅速， 因而会增加用水量， 所以答案为A项。
3．Which of the following is NOT a reality at the present time?
A．Scientists have found out how to control genes.
B．Cars have computers which tell drivers their positions.
C．People can learn about what has happened anywhere on the Internet.
D．Robots have completely replaced humans in some factories.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“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.”可知，虽然有些大公司喜欢使用机器人代替人工作， 但并不意味着机器人已经完全代替人类。而文中也说大规模广泛使用机器人要到2050年， 故D项表述不现实。
4．Which of the following subjects is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Entertainment. B．Travel.
C．Climate. D．Health.
C 解析：细节理解题。第一段提到了信息来源，其中提到了人们观赏电影和欣赏音乐，这是“娱乐”话题；第三段涉及交通方式，这涉及人们的出行；末段提到对疾病的治疗，涉及健康。文章未提到气候，故选C项。
B
Think about the different ways that people use wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏僻的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radios. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means high costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
【解题导语】 文章介绍风能的发展过程和用途， 并介绍全球已越来越多地使用风力发电， 因为它是清洁环保的能源。
5．From the text we know that windmills ________．
A．were invented by European armies
B．have a history of more than 2，800 years
C．used to supply power to electric lights in remote areas
D．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二、三句可知， 偏僻的地区可以用风车发电， 从而有了电灯和收音机。
6．What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A．Sailing a boat.
B．Producing electricity.
C．Grinding wheat into flour.
D．Pumping water from underground.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏僻的) areas began to use them to produce electricity.”可知， 在19世纪末期， 风车可以用来发电。
7．One of the reasons why wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________．
A．wind power is cleaner
B．it is one of the oldest power sources
C．it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet ends

A
Life will probably be very different in 2050.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.Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away.By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in this 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.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don’t save now.
In the future, 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.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.By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes and 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?
【解题导语】 本文主要讲到2050年，高科技在信息来源、农业、汽车、太空飞机、机器人及克隆方面带给人们的影响。
1．By 2050, people will get information mainly by________．
A．watching TV B．reading newspapers

A．the need for water in the future will increase a lot
B．future wars will lead to an increasing need for water
C．there can be no agriculture without enough water
D．the population will decrease for lack of water

4．Which of the following subjects is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Entertainment. B．Travel.
C．Climate. D．Health.
C 解析：细节理解题。第一段提到了信息来源，其中提到了人们观赏电影和欣赏音乐，这是“娱乐”话题；第三段涉及交通方式，这涉及人们的出行；末段提到对疾病的治疗，涉及健康。文章未提到气候，故选C项。

Think about the different ways that people use wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏僻的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radios. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means high costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
【解题导语】 文章介绍风能的发展过程和用途， 并介绍全球已越来越多地使用风力发电， 因为它是清洁环保的能源。
5．From the text we know that windmills ________．
A．were invented by European armies
B．have a history of more than 2，800 years
C．used to supply power to electric lights in remote areas
D．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二、三句可知， 偏僻的地区可以用风车发电， 从而有了电灯和收音机。
6．What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A．Sailing a boat.
B．Producing electricity.
C．Grinding wheat into flour.
D．Pumping water from underground.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏僻的) areas began to use them to produce electricity.”可知， 在19世纪末期， 风车可以用来发电。
7．One of the reasons why wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________．
A．wind power is cleaner
B．it is one of the oldest power sources
C．it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet ends
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.”可知， 现在重新使用风能是因为它是清洁的。
8．What would the writer probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．The advantages of wind power.
B．The design of wind power plants.
C．The worldwide movement to save energy.
D．The global trend(趋势) towards producing power from wind.

阅读理解
Thinking about the future isn’t a special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars. We make to－do lists, a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy. We look up the weekend’s weather. We make predictions about the results of sporting events. We practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us. We daydream about events we’re eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.
Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or maybe even the next few years of our lives. Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what action we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years from now. This kind of far－future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.
Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031. Why indeed think about such remote futures? Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world, and our lives, decades in advance? And if so, what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?
These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists. I was personally inspired by the discussions, and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life. They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place. Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught. Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.
【解题导语】 本文主要写了对于未来的思考，以及未来思考可以给社会带来很大的好处。
1．The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to ________．
A．draw readers’ attention
B．tell readers the main idea of the passage
C．entertain readers
D．explain the topic
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Thinking about the future isn’t a special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. ”思考未来不是什么特别的技巧。事实上，每个人都一直在做， 可见下文中的例子都是围绕着这个中心为中心服务的，所以答案选D。
2．The underlined word “domain” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “__________”．
A．understanding B．field
C．choice D．rule
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“what our lives will be like or what action we should prepare to take in the far future”我们的生活会是什么样子或是我们在遥远的未来应该准备采取什么样的行动， 这种类型的未来考虑应该是专业未来学家思考的范围，可以猜测domain是领域的意思，故选B。
3．Which of the following things might a futurist think about?
A．The result of sporting event being held.
B．The weather of the coming weekend.
C．A life－threatening disease that doesn’t exist yet.
D．A new technology widely used in daily life.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031.”未来学家被训练想象似乎对别人不可能的遥远的现实： 还不存在的技术，法律的巨大变化，有可能在2031年感染我们的奇怪的疾病。所以C选项有可能是未来学家考虑的，所以答案选C。
4．What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.
B．The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.
C．It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.
D．Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.”如果我们都学会了这种使我们能够思考未来的事物的宝贵的技能， 社会将受益匪浅。所以答案选D。

阅读理解
In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not.Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course.And he’s probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird．At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over-looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not—it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination.Keep watching the news—or perhaps the sky outside your window—to see what the future will bring.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了那些还未实现的科学预测。
1．The whole passage is mainly about________．
A．predictions that have come true
B．predictions that haven’t come true
C．why predictions don’t come true easily
D．what technology will bring about
B 解析：主旨大意题。作者列举了很久以前人们对未来的预测的例子来证明并不是所有的预测都能完全实现。
2．Which of the following is probably NOT the author’s belief?
A．Predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
B．The future isn’t always easy to guess.
C．Not all past predictions have come true.
D．Many of the high-tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，作者认为很多的预测之所以不能实现是因为它们不考虑人们在生活中是否真的需要这种科技， 故A项是作者不赞成的。
3．The underlined word “weird” probably means “________”．
A．wonderful B．stupid
C．practical D．strange
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据上文可知机器人太昂贵、太笨拙， 所以机器人帮人们洗衣做饭的想法现在看来仍是不可思议的事情。
4．What does the author think of the flying car?
A．It is too difficult to imagine.
B．It is too crazy an idea.
C．It is likely to be made.
D．It is often reported in the news.
C 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“It’s not so crazy any more！”可知，会飞的汽车的想法有可能会实现。

【解题导语】 通向成功的路不会是一帆风顺的，当遇到挫折时不要放弃、不要气馁。不忘初心，砥砺前行，终会成功。
1．whose 解析：设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Those(指代People)，且在从句中表所属，限定dreams，故填whose。
2．working 解析：insist on doing sth.意为“坚持做某事”。
3．a 解析：set an example意为“树立榜样”，又因为example前有good修饰，故填a。
4．found 解析：由前面的“In 1898”可知，设空处所在句是对过去事实的描述，应用一般过去时，故填found。
5．To prove 解析：由语境可知，居里夫人必须向世界展示这种元素是为了证明她的发现，故填To prove，动词不定式作目的状语。
6．finally 解析：设空处作状语修饰saw，表示“最后”，故填finally。
7．years 解析：year是可数名词且在此表泛指，应用其复数形式，故填years。
8．painful 解析：设空处作表语，表示“痛苦的”，故填painful。
9．how 解析：设空处所在句意为：坚持你的梦想，不论它们有多么大或多么小。故填how(多么), no matter how在此引导让步状语从句。
10．happier 解析：设空处所在句意为“当你梦想成真的时候，你会发现没有比这更快乐的了”，故填happier。

An Outlook on Future
With the development of science and technology, our life has changed a lot. As a result, I think there are likely to be great achievements in every area. People will be working less with the help of computers, robots and other hi－tech products. The living environment will be cleaner, because people, stressing the importance of protecting the environment, begin to get rid of wastes more scientifically. Every one who is thirsty for knowledge can receive higher education，whether they are young or old. On the whole, people will lead a happy and free life and they can travel not only all over the world but also in space.
Though the future is hard to predict, we know for sure advanced science and technology will shape our bright future if we use it properly.
Ⅴ 读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother—loving, sweet, yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David,__my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again? Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨) while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind：“Honey, where are the kids？”“What？！ Oh, Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there? David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

Paragraph 1：
The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we brought with us. We were happy to see it still packed, and hoped it would be packed forever. However, things came to its turning point. Mom lost Dad in the gas station when we were sleeping. What’s worse, as the dark approached, we met the same trouble again. Fearful as Mom was, she decided to camp near the road waiting for Dad. The wind cried widely like a monster. Tears took control of us. Mom embraced us tightly singing a smooth song, which really relaxed us. We didn’t met Dad in the last few days, but we felt comfortable staying with Mom.
Paragraph 2：
We drove through several states and saw lots of sights along the way. The tent became a closer friend then. Every time we camped, Mom would read a book or sing a soft song. The warmth of her arms never faded away in my memory. Though she was forgetful，laughter accompanied us along the way. We finally met poor Dad in our destination. This trip made me realize that love may have many ways, but it can always warm people in the dark.
