Unit 3Life in the future
【导语】未来对于我们每一个人来说都充满了神秘。

如果我们能够预知未来那将是多么奇妙的事，这应该是我们每一个人都很向往的事情。

我们能否做到呢？
It's impossible to know the future.We can guess，but no one has actual knowledge of what's going to happen down the road.
But if you're someone who trusts her/his feelings，you're more likely to accurately predict future events than people who don't trust their feelings as much.
That's the conclusion of a recent study done by researchers at Columbia Business School.
Through a series of eight studies they found that subjects who had a high amount of trust in their feelings were generally better able to predict things like the outcomes of presidential elections，football games，the winner of American Idol，and even the weather.
How is this possible，you ask?
The best explanation is known as the“privileged window〞hypothesis.The gist is that when we rely on feelings to make a prediction，we're really summarizing and calling on everything we know ab's similar to what journalist Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in his best-selling book Blink that the more we know about something the greater our ability to make snap judgments and predictions
without thinking too much.
Unlike Gladwell's theory，though，the recent study is less about snap decisions and more about consciously deciding to rely on feelings to make predictions.Do that，and you're more likely to be able to sense what may happen in the future.

细节理解(2)代词指代题
代词指代题一般是在人物或事物关系比拟复杂的情况下使用的一种题型，所以理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。

可采用“逻辑关系梳理法〞，使人物或事件关系条理化、简单化、明朗化。

经典例题
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the
individual.Graduates earn more，social mobility is ever more depende，only some people have it.So the individual，not the taxpayers，should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources of the ing taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
The underlined word “them〞in the paragraph refers to________．
A．taxpayers B．pressing calls
C．college graduates D．government resources
解析：直接定位第二段末尾，一般寻找上文的逻辑关系，来看此句：there are [pressing calls ]on [the resources(资源)of the government.][Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future ]is not one of them.抽出逻辑关系即：有“PC〞在“ROG〞，(但)“TM〞不是其中之一，够明显吧，显然“其中〞直指“PC〞，即B项pressing calls。

答案：B

1．The researchers studied cutlural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people...
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners.“The cultural difference in eye movements that they_show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，〞Jack said.“Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion，Easterners use the eyes more and mouth
less.〞
What does the underlined word “they〞in the Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The participants in the study.
B．The researchers of the study.
C．The errors made during the study.
D．The data collected from the study.
解析：根据定语从句“that they show〞所修饰的eye movements 在研究中是the participants 表现出来的(从“the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people〞可知)可判断选A。

答案：A
2．We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else.Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive.Conditioned as we are to passive learning，it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co－workers.
The underlined word “it〞in paragraph refers to ______．
A．active learning B．knowledge
C．communication D．passive learning
解析：根据it 所在句可知这个代词指代的是前句所提的被动学习，句意在日常生活中依靠被动学习并不奇怪。

答案：D
3．First of all，jogging is very hard on the body.Your legs and feet a real pounding(损坏)running down a road for two or three miles.I
developed foot，leg and back problems.Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging，and I had something else to worry about.Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people，but if you have any physical weaknesses，jogging will surely bring them out，as they did with me.
The underlined word “them〞in the paragraph most probably refers to ________．
A．heart attacks B．back problems
C．famous joggers D．physical weaknesses
解析：此题考察代词的指代。

做此类题目的关键是读前文或后几句话。

根据“but if you have any physical weaknesses，jogging will surely bring them out，as they did with me〞可知“them〞指代前面的physical weaknesses。

答案：D
4．...When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left，suggesting they preferred company.While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video，it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of puter and video systems，for example，could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
The underlined word “they〞in the paragraph refers to ______．
A．the dogs B．the trainers
C．the systems D．the researchers
解析：根据“Computer and video systems，for example，could
be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.〞approach 是“接近〞的意思，由于是驯狗师被要求接近狗而不能是狗被要求接近驯狗师，所以they指代的是dog trainers。

答案：B
想象性作文
本单元的写作工程属于新课标中说明文或记叙文中的“想象性〞作文。

这类题目要求学生在头脑中创造出从未接触过的甚至根本不存在的新的形象。

想象性写作允许自由想象、自主发挥的空间较大，因此需要灵活的思维能力和丰富的想象能力。

要写好此类文章，应注意以下几点：
1．首先要确定写作主题。

确定主题，明确写作中心，是写好文章的前提，想象性写作也不例外。

因为想象虽然可以海阔天空，但总要围绕一个中心进展，这个中心就是主题。

2．想象美好，立意深刻。

想象性作文必须要有一个“美好〞的中心思想。

如果只是瞎编一个热闹离奇的故事，就失去了想象的意义。

3．构思要巧妙，想象要合理。

构思和想象是写好此类文章的关键，既要符合逻辑，又要匠心独运，或启迪思维，或引人入胜。

4．列出写作提纲，合理安排顺序。

通过合理想象列出写作素材，然后筛选确定；而后再根据写作对象的特点合理安排顺序。

5．前后一致，自圆其说。

不管允许想象的空间有多大，都要做到符合逻辑，顺理成章，这一点对于写好此类文章尤其重要。

【典型句式】
1．Sometimes I dream about life in the future.
我有时梦想未来的生活。

2．Maybe in the future we can travel in space.
或许在将来我们能在太空旅行。

3．With the development of science and technology，our life in the future will surely become more colorful.
随着科学与技术的开展，在未来我们的生活一定会更加丰富多彩。

4．There is a possibility that human beings will live on the moon.
人类有可能会生活在月球上。

5．I am curious about future life.
对未来的生活我充满了好奇。

6．In my opinion，the dream will become a reality/come true one day.
我认为，终有一天梦想会成为现实。

7．What will life be like in the future?
未来的生活会是什么样的？
8．Life in the future will be much better than now.
未来的生活一定会比现在更美好。

根据以下内容，通过合理的想象，以“Our Future Life〞为题写一篇100词左右的英语短文，展望一下未来的科技生活。

1．有些人可以到月球上度假；
2．有些科学家能在海底生活；
3．每家都有可视(videophone)，通过可视人们可以进展体检和购物；
4．孩子们可以在家通过电视和播送承受教育；
5．机器人为你做家务。

[写作提示]
1．本文为记叙性说明文，以一般式和将来式为主；
2．说明作文要求的几个要点；
3．展望未来的生活。
