Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could li ve to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go.

Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks."They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."underlined expression "parental involvement" in Paragraph 1 probablymeans .' expectation on children's health' participation in children's education' control over children's life' plan for children's futureis the major finding of Robinson's study?parents raise children in a more scientific way.kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.involvement is not so beneficial as expected.are not able to help with children’s homework.example of Asian-American parents implies that parentsshould .children realize the importance of schoolinga specific life goal for their childrenmore time improving their own livesa more active part in school management14、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·成都第二次诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University createdthe first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own,” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,”said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off­board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built­in power source, so that it might someday perform data­gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect­scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,”he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day­to­day basis.”【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。

Module 1 Life in the FutureⅠ. 阅读理解AImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel or no brake. Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it? ” You say “yes” and you are on y our way. The car responds (做出回应)and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets(预算) without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the possibility to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be good. The accident statistics would drop: about 94% of road accidents in the U. S. are caused by man. Older drivers and people with disabilities would travel a lot. Keeping safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and depend on alternative energy. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the effect of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. The American Trucking Association lists about 3. 5 million professional truck drivers in the US. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this large workforce (劳动力).New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the results of these possible changes to build a better future for all.【文章大意】作者陈述了将来出现无人驾驶的汽车之后的利弊。

They only take control in emergencies. Otherwise, they make observations that help the company's engineers improve the driverless cars.The driverless cars already have covered more than 2 million miles in six years of testing on private tracks, on highways and city streets. The vehicles have travelled more than half that distance in automated mode (自动模式),with one test driver in place to take control of the car if the technology fails or a potentially dangerous situation arises. Meanwhile, another driver sits in the front passenger seat taking notes of the problems that need to be fixed.The job of the test driver requires a sense of adventure, something Torcellini acquired when he began to surf in high school. His other hobbies include fishing and scuba-diving.While the engineers who are programming the robot cars have technical backgrounds, most of the test drivers don't. Torcellini worked in a bookstore. He dreamed of becoming a writer. He ended up at Google in 2009. Espinosa, 27, was working in a bicycle shop before he was hired as a test driver two years ago. Stephanie Villegas, 28, was a swim instructor, before becoming a test driver. Other test drivers were former soldiers and former photographers.

ADear Managing Director,As you know,money was recently received for improvements to the café, and the Board(董事会)has made some suggestions about how to spend it. The purpose of this letter is to show the reaction of the staff(全体员工)to your ideas and to present some suggestions of our own.As we understand it,the Board has three main suggestions:•to repaint the walls and hang curtains(窗帘)•to buy longer tables and more chairs•to brighten up the caféwith plantsWe are very happy with the idea of repainting and curtains.This would certainly make the cafémore attractive.However,we do not feel that there is any need for new tables and chairs.The present furniture is in good condition and because the tables are small,they encourage a friendlier feeling than long tables would.As for plants,we feel the money could be better spent on other things.Our suggestions are:•to buy a new dishwashing machine.The present machine is of poor quality and doesn't always clean the dishes well.•to buy a new coffee machine.The present machine breaks down very often and takes a long time to get repaired.Also,would it be possible to change our servicing company?•to buy more salt and pepper sets so we have one for every table.•to buy new staff uniforms(制服).The present uniforms are uncomfortable and unattractive.. , We hope that our suggestions will be given serious consideration,particularly those related to the two machines.We look forward to discussing them with you at a convenient (方便的) time.Constanza Brookes, Staff Representative21. On what do the staff agree to spend the money?A. Walls.B. Chairs.C. Tables.D. Plants.22. What do we know about the tables in the café?A. They are of poor quality.B. They are environmentally-friendly.C. They seem too small for customers.D. They provide a comfortable feeling.23. Which do the staff think is more important?A. Buying more salt sets.B. Making new uniforms.C. Getting a new coffee machine.D. Changing the servicing company.BVanessa Berlowitz, who studied science at Oxford University, now worksas a producer for the BBC. She has worked on many nature documentaries,including the 2006 BBC program Planet Earth For this series, shetravelled around the world to film the world's greatest mountains.The job of series producer is very complex. For Frozen Planet aseven-part series that explores what life is like on the North and SouthPoles, Berlowitz had to decide when and where to film. She also had todecide how to tell the story. Every day, she helped set up the cameras,which can take hours.With the crew(工作人员),she often spent hours quietly looking or waiting for animals.She talked about the day the crew finally found a polar bear and her cubs(幼崽).“A mother polar bear was having a hard time finding food for her cubs. But the little cubs were playing,which made her hunt difficult.I was crying with laughter when she put one of the little cubs in a hole so she could hunt.I thought,this is what mothers do!”Berlowitz is one of very few series women producers.She hopes more women will become producers in the future.She said:“As producers,youdo not have to be very physically strong,but you have to be happy to go to extreme areas.”Berlowitz enjoys seeing new parts of the world and filming things many people have never seen before.But the best part of her work is hearing from the people who watch her documentaries.“I got a wonderful email from an eleven-year-old girl from Iran.She was so excited that women do jobs like mine.She wants to try and follow my example.She wrote me a beautiful poem,which was about the polar bear film.It made me cry with joy,”she said.24.What can we learn about Berlowitz's work?A.It takes time and patience.B.It always puts her in danger.C.It needs to be done independently.D.It has nothing to do with her major.25.What feeling did Berlowitz express from her observation of bears?A.Pity.B.Worry.C.Fun.D.Pride.26.What did Berlowitz say to possible producers?A.Grow a strong body.B.Be pleased to go to terrible places.C.Be prepared to travel around the world.D.Learn to deal with extreme weather conditions.27.Why did Berlowitz talk about the Iranian girl?A.To describe her hope for the little girl.B.To prove Frozen Planet's huge influence.C.To explain she set a good example for girls worldwide.D.To show her audience's positive response means a lot to her.CBryan Laubscher,one of the world's leading astrophysicists,who study the physics and chemistry of the stars,planets,etc,is developing an invention called the Mars Elevator.To form a picture of this,you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk(《杰克与魔豆》).This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens.Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world.The space elevator is similar but of course much more high-tech and better yet,it is real!Astrophysicists are designing a steel-like cable(缆绳)that will be connected to a platform(平台)in the ocean.This cable is designed to be pulled up into space,where it will then be connected to a space station. People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year2020. There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space.To get there,space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance.The trip up into space will take about a week.When they arrive,space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there.There are other alternatives,too. Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to themoon,where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel—which is now being designed.The future looks bright for space tourists.It also looks bright for industry and scientists.Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements(元素)that are rare on Earth.Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels,which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.28.What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand?A.The difficulty of building space elevators.B.What material space elevators would use.C.What space elevators would look like.D.The reason for inventing space elevators.29.What can we infer about space elevators?A.They're accepting pre-paid bookings.B.They'll be available in the near future.C.They're mainly used for scientific study.D.They'll offer people a seven-day round trip.30.What does the underlined word“alternatives”(in Para.2)mean?A.Advantages.B.Purposes.C.Entries.D.Choices.31.What is the author's attitude towards space elevators?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Critical.D.Positive.D(My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing orgaining (走得快). But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up 上发条) and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler's toset it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it forme. Then he said,“She is four minutes slow — regulator (调节器) wantspushing up.” I tried to stop him — tried to make him understand thatthe watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shamefuldeed.My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. FinallyI took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open,and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. Afterthis, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trainsand my dinner.At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said thekingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no idea what the kingboltwas. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another.It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waitedand looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an oldacquaintance (熟人) — a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a goodengineer, either.“She makes too much steam and ...” he said.I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch untilthe repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what becameof all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, andblacksmiths; but nobody could ever tell him.32. What did the author say about the jeweler?A. He made a mistake.B.He had a quick mind.C.He had a hearing problem.D.He was a quiet repairman.33.After being cleaned,oiled and regulated,the author's watch_____.A.kept perfect timeB.gained faster and fasterC.was unbelievably slowD.ran awhile and stopped awhile34.Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?A.He was a liar.B.He was talking nonsense.C.He treated the watch cruelly.D.He was an old enemy of the author.35.What did the author learn from his experience?A.Never get a watch repaired.B.He should listen to his uncle.C.Repair work was not an easy job.D.Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

What can I do for you?Val: Well, I have to write a paper for my English class and I don't know what to say.Dad: What’s the topic?Val: It called “House of the Future”. I’m supposed to write about what I think the houses will be like in the future, but I have no idea!Dad: OK, well, let’s think about it. First, what materials do you think these houses will be made of?Val: Some kind of metal, I should imagine. Probably aluminum, because it is strong and light. Dad: There we go. Now, next: what kind of energy will power these houses?Val: It would have to be renewable energy. I imagine that some day all of the natural resources will be used up, so we will have run out of wood and coal. We will have to rely on solar energy, for a start.Dad: Excellent! OK, lastly: what will the inside of the house look like?Val: I imagine that inside the house won’t look much different from houses of today. Except maybe they would be smaller because there will be more people in the world, we'll have run out of space for everyone. I guess that houses might be built taller in order to make better use of the little space that we have left.Dad: Perfect! So, what will the houses of the future look like?Val: Aluminum, solar powered, tall houses! Thanks, Dad!Key:2.√3. √ 5. √7. √DTapescript:Agent: So Mr and Mrs Hamp, this is the flat I told you about. Take a look around, please.Mrs Hamp: OK. Let me see. It’s not very large.Agent: This is the best location. It is right next to the urban centre and it will cost a lot more for a larger flat.Mr Hamp: This one is not cheap either-3,000 yuan a month, right?Agent: Yes, but it is a good price for such a nice flat. Steel and concrete construction, wood floor, the windows are made of aluminum with double glass windows and rubber sides. Nice and quiet.Mrs Hump: Do we have hot water here?Agent: Of course, Madam. The hot water is supplied from the solar heater on the roof, so even if the power is out, you will still be able to take a nice hot bath.Mrs Hamp: Sounds good. So what do we have in the neighbourhood? Is there any place for shopping?Agent: Oh, yes! Just 5-minutes’walk west of here you will find the largest supermarket in this city. To the south there is a library and a small park for outdoor recreation activity. And by the way there is a huge theatre behind the park, so you know where to go for entertainment.Mrs Hamp: Fantastic! What is that little brick building next to us?Agent: A small clinic for the community.Mr Hamp: It looks all right. So when can we move in?Agent: Once we finish the paper work, you will be able to move in any time.Mr Hamp: OK, let’s do it.Key:1. c2. b3. b4. a5. aETapescript:Houses of the Future was an exhibition held in Sydney, Australia, from 19th February to 31st October, 2005. It was a free public show of six houses built in the most futuristic way possible. Each house was built of different materials: concrete, wood, steel, earth, hard paper and glass. The houses of the future will have renewable energy, recycled water, the use of recycled materials, built-in computers and a design that helps to save energy. The development of these houses is in response to a growing market need for homes that are modern, environmentally smart and of very high quality. The House of the Future exhibition was connected to Sydney Olympic Park- another excellent example of smart use of the environment. Sydney Olympic Park has a special water recycling system in place and with this system saves about 850 million litres of drinking water every year!Key:1. exhibition2. six3. concrete4. renewable5. recycled6. 850 millionFTapescript:Space tourism is a new but growing industry in the modern world. It started with the Russian Space Agency in 2001, when the American business man Dennis Tito bought a seat on their spacecraft for $20 million for a return trip to the international space station. Dennis spent a week in space. The fourth space tourist was a woman from Iran and she paid $10 million for her trip. So as you can see the price of space travel is coming down. There are several companies that are planning to build space stations and even space hotels in the next 20 years. These companies haveforecast that some day they will be able to offer trips aboard their spaceship and space hotel accommodation for up to one week for about $20,000. These companies have already invested millions of dollars, believing that the space tourism industry is just getting started.50 years ago an idea like space tourism was unheard of. Today, however, it is a possibility. Tomorrow, it can be a reality. If you have ever dreamed about going into space then maybe, with a little time and a few million dollars, your dreams can one day come true.Key:1. c2. b3. a4. b5. cGTapescript:Annie: Josh, have you decided where you want to be in the future?Josh: I think so, Annie. I want to go to university and learn how to build smart houses.Annie: What do you mean by “smart houses”?Josh: Well, a smart house is one that is built with recycled materials and doesn’t waste energy. Annie: That sounds really interesting. Tell me more!Josh: Well, for a start a smart house would use recycled materials, such as rubber, to build the house. Recycled rubber is cheap and very useful. Car tires, for example, would make excellent walls of a house.Annie: Walls made of tires? Really?Josh: Sure! Think of it: tires, when laid on the ground, are very thick and will make very strong walls. Also, rubber holds heat and this will help to reduce energy use.Annie: Yeah, I can see that.Josh: And, smart homes will use solar power to heat the home. By building the house with large, sun-facing windows, using other materials like brick and by building the longest walls from east to west the solar power from the sun will heat the home.Annie: Does that really work?Josh: Of course, it does! A house that uses solar energy in this way can save up to 50% on heating bills! Solar power is the cleanest source of natural energy available-plants, animals and even the ground have always used solar energy to stay warm.Annie: I like your smart home already! When can I get one?Key:1. √ 4. √ 6. √HTapescript:Smart machines will be in every house in the future. What is a smart machine? Here are some examples.Refrigerators will have computers in them and will be able to go online to order food for you. All the shopping will be done on the Internet. For example, if you drink some milk in the morning and put the milk back in the fridge, if the box is almost empty, the refrigerator will ask you if you want to order more milk. If you are low on eggs or bread, the refrigerator will make a list of the thingsthat you need and will then go online to order them from the shop.All waste will be recycled, For example, the water that you use to wash your dishes will be saved, recycled and used as drinking water. Electric lights will automatically turn off when you leave the room in order to save electricity.Small robots will take care of the cleaning. While you are sleeping, small, quiet little machines will come out and take care of all the household housework.In short, the houses of the future will have smart machines that will make our life easier and more convenient, as well as save energy and recourses.Key:1.b2.a3.b4.b5.c。
