文章大意:这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲了人物王富春,他以深度描写中国铁路沿线生活而闻名,他用引人入胜的照片捕捉了中国不断变化的景观的本质。

2 . Noted for his profound description of life along the Chinese railway, Wang Fuchun passed away on March 13th at the age of 79. His engaging photographs capture the substance of China’s ever-changing landscape.

Being artistic and good at painting and calligraphy, Wang found that photography bridged the two worlds: he could make art with his camera and increasingly he felt that his goal was not art, but life.

In the late 1970s, when he started taking his photographs, everyone on a railway platform looked reserved and orderly. By the late 1980s, a great rush to the cities had begun on the trains. He recorded young migrant workers shedding their shirts, running with sweat, seeking coolness on top of the seats. He did not ask anyone’s permission to take them, and he preferred to act secretly, like a thief in a way, as it captured the authentic (真实的) moments of people’s lives—and so mirrored all the more clearly how China was changing.

His project was all-consuming. Over 40 years he estimated he had ridden on 1, 000 trains and covered more than 100, 000 kilometers, on every line in China. Each trip was neatly noted down in a notebook; he took about 200, 000 pictures, and logged each by its place. From those pictures, he felt the migrants’ poverty too keenly, and he preferred to capture the hope that pushed people on to trains.

China was rushing to the modern world. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans and air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. The aisles were clear, the windows sealed. However, in the reclining seats (躺椅座位), everyone reclined. In the ordinary seats, everyone’s noses were buried in their tablets and their phones.

He liked the message of hope; he was proud of what China had achieved. But how sad, he also thought that on that dashing train there was no mess, no collision of life and no good subjects for him, and that Chinese people should once again look so orderly, reserved and unconcerned about each other, even on a train.

1. How did Wang Fuchun reveal the changes in China with his camera?
A.By creating art works on railway platforms.
B.By documenting migrant workers’ daily life.
C.By recording the transformation of life on the train.
D.By capturing a great rush to cities along the railway.
2. Why did Wang Fuchun prefer to take photographs secretly?
A.To perform his duty.B.To reflect reality better.
C.To avoid disturbing people.D.To satisfy his curiosity.
3. What did Wang Fuchun find about the passengers on the modern train?
A.They were only focused on themselves.B.They were quite messy and disorganized.
C.They were interested in the reclining seats.D.They were engaged in lively conversations.
4. Which of the following words can best describe Wang Fuchun?
A.Friendly and considerate.B.Devoted and observant.
C.Talented and humorous.D.Optimistic and generous.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些已经实现的令人难以置信的Wells预言。

3 . H. G. Wells, born in 1866, was trained as a scientist, a pioneer among his literary contemporaries, and was perhaps the most important figure in the genre (类型) that would become science fiction. Writers in this tradition have a history not just of imagining the future as it might be, but of inspiring others to make it a reality.     1    .

Audio book, Airplane, and Television

Wells imagined forms of future entertainment. In When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), residents use fantastic forms of technology like audio books, airplanes and television sets.

    2    

Visitors to The Island of Dr. Moreau(1896) meet odd creatures created by the mad man doctor in human-animal hybrid experiments that may predict the age of genetic engineering.     3    , though today human immune systems (免疫系统) still ultimately reject such efforts.

Lasers(激光)

Martians in The War of the Worlds(1898) give off what Wells called a Heat Ray.     4    . It would be more than six decades before Theodore Harold Maiman fired up the first operational laser in 1960, but military thinkers had been hoping to weaponize (使…武器化) the conceptual laser before it was proven practical, .

Atomic Bombs(原子弹)

    5     . The atomic bombs he introduces in The World Set Free(1914) fuel a war so disastrous that its survivors are moved to create a unified world government to avoid future conflicts.

A.Genetic Engineering
B.Directed-energy Weapons
C.It can burn enemies with a noiseless flash of light
D.It is often a warning about the consequences of technology
E.Here are some of the incredible Wells predictions that have come true
F.Wells recognized the damaging power that might be created by this weapon
G.Scientists are working towards the possibility that animal organs could save human patients

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍智能服装或将入驻我们的未来衣橱。

4 . In the movie “The Wrong Trousers”, a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England created “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers embedded(嵌入) with electrical pumps to force air into tiny tubes that expand and can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow.   Now, material scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing.

In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibers, which can make fabric move automatically. Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, Google partnered with brands like Levi’s and Adidas to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly. Researchers said they could soon unlock an era where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help.

At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can shape-shift. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do’s team, notably around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics.

Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential.” It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibers and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry, she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forward. “Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life.” she said.

1. What inspired the researchers to come up with “The Right Trousers”?
A.A film.
B.A blood issue.
C.The way electrical pumps work.
D.The way the elderly and disabled move.
2. What did scientists at MIT do last year?
A.They put sensors in clothes.
B.They created movable robotic fibers.
C.They made batteries for robotic clothing.
D.They released smart clothing connected to cellphones.
3. What does Do’s team find challenging?
A.Making robotic tubes smaller.
B.Keeping robotic tubes properly shaped.
C.Producing stronger robotic tubes.
D.Programming the shape of robotic tubes.
4. What is Rebecca’s attitude toward the future of smart clothing?
A.Doubtful.B.Indifferent.C.Worried.D.Hopeful.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对未来旅行的预测。

5 . Travel is predicted to look extremely different in 2070.

Take airports for example, paperwork will be a thing of the past. Instead of paper passports,your information will be stored in the cloud. This type of technology won’t just include what we are familiar with today——like fingerprints or face scans—but also your heartbeat, as everyone’s heartbeat is unique.

There will be no need to check in. The facial recognition programme will instead be able to recognise you, match you with your booked flight and send messages to your phone as you walk through the airport without stopping.

Your bags, especially the heavy ones, will be sent directly from your train or taxi to the right plane. And that taxi will not be like the ones we know today. People will be expected to travel to the airport--and around their holiday destinations-in eVTOLs, which refers to électric air taxis that can take off and land without a runway.

As for the trouble of packing, 3D printers will provide perfect solutions. Simply provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly and, upon arrival, you will find a wardrobe(衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. When you leave, these clothes will be recycled and. reprinted for the next tourist. Not only will this solve the problem of packing, but also make holiday fashion more environment-friendly.

While the predictions might seem unbelievable now, you only have to look back 50 years to realize it’s all possible. Think back to 1973 when smartphones were just a wild dream. “Google” seemed like a made-up word then, and notebook computers were still almost years away from being invented. Similarly, when we look forward to the next 50 years, the possibilities for development in technology for travel are endless.

1. What can we learn about the check-in at the airport in 2070?
A.You’ll have to carry your paper passports.
B.It won’t need your heartbeat information.
C.You must stop to check the phone for boarding.
D.It is no longer needed because of the facial recognition programme.
2. When you get to the destination,       .
A.your bag will be sent to you by taxi
B.a body scan will work out your size
C.the clothes of your size will be ready for you
D.your packing may do harm to the environment
3. Why does the author mention 1973 in the last paragraph?
A.To prove the predictions are possible.
B.To show the inventions are necessary.
C.To list the achievements of the year.
D.To express the confidence for travel.
4. What’s the best title for the text?
A.A new type of air taxi.。B.Prediction for future of travel.
C.The advantage of 3D prints.D.The solution to future packing.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章以H. G. Wells的一篇小说引入,提出城市的发展理念——向下而非向上建造,以便充分利用地球空间。

7 . In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness, H. G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

1. What surprised the explorers in H G Wells’ story ?
A.The moon people’s unique language.
B.The moon people’s friendliness.
C.The moon people’s space technology.
D.The moon people’s underground cities.
2. What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to ?
A.Traveling to outer space.
B.Meeting the “moon people” again.
C.Using the earth’s inner space
D.Discovering the moon’s inner space.
3. What underground systems are already here with us based on the passage?
A.Tunnels, gardens, offices.
B.Gardens, car parks, power stations.
C.Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
D.Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Enjoy living undergroundB.Building down, not up
C.Alice Cities—cities of the futureD.Space travel with H. G. Wells

文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。人类一直对时间旅行很感兴趣,从理论上来说,时间旅行是可行的,但时间旅行未必是好事。作者认为我们最好还是活在当下。

8 . If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is the science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveller were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveller wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?

And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles (触角). If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.

1. The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show    .
A.people’s interest in time travel
B.the special features of the book
C.the long history of time travel
D.the contribution of H. G. Wells
2. Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories    .
A.have similarities in many ways
B.push the invention of the first spaceship
C.have proved wrong by some time travellers
D.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
3. In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that    .
A.the traveller is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B.the traveller goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
C.the grandfather’s death makes the traveller’s birth impossible
D.The reunion of the traveller and his grandfather brings happiness
4. What is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?
A.Unclear. B.Skeptical.
C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了未来家庭的巨大变化。

9 . The future home is something that people have talked about for decades. Because the future home idea inspires our imagination, scientists and engineers have been working hard to develop different systems to make houses “smarter”.

The video camera at the entrance recognize visitors using facial recognition. The facial recognition software of the future home will not only recognize friends, but strangers as well. And the software in the future home will run the strangers faces against a database of criminals.

The future home will also have smart application appliances (家电) as well. There will be a vast networking system connecting them. Ovens, microwaves and refrigerators will be controlled automatically, so remote cooking will be a possibility and meals are prepared for your arrival.

There will also be a green systems in place such as saving and reusing washing water and bathwater. Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized (含矿的) drinking water.

If you think this future home idea is pie in the sky or science fiction, then think again. Most of the systems described here are either in development or already out in the market. Future homes may not be standard yet for the middle class but this is not as far ahead as many people would think.

1. What can the facial recognition software be used for in the future houses?
A.Greeting friends.B.Collecting criminals information.
C.Recognizing visitors.D.Following dangerous criminals.
2. Which of the following indicates the future house is environment-friendly?
A.Facial recognition software.B.Remote cooking.
C.Smart refrigerators.D.Saving and reusing water.
3. What does the underlined word “standard” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Attractive.B.Common.C.Special.D.Excellent.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.Smart future home
B.A smart networking system
C.Software in future home
D.Various household appliances

The Magic Birthday Candles in Space

(An excerpt from a science fiction)

My birthday was going to be extra special for two reasons. For one thing, like Commander Park said, “Nobody’s ever turned nine in space before, David.” Mom, my sister Rebekah, and I were moving to Mars for a year. We’d spent almost two weeks in the spaceship so far.

I was trying to keep the other reason secret. But the day before my birthday, Rebekah caught me with my cheeks puffed (膨胀) way out. “What are you doing? Practicing to blow out all the candles this year?” She laughed. “This time I will,” I said. “Everybody on the ship will be watching, so...”

“Oh, David,” my sister interrupted.

“Your cake can’t have candles. Fire on a spaceship is too dangerous.”

When I turned away, she patted my shoulder. “At least you don’t have to worry about blowing them all out.”

Our mother has an important job, maintaining the ship’s electrical systems. Besides, I wanted to act mature about this. If I couldn’t blow out the candles like I wanted, at least I was old enough not to complain about it.

After dinner on my birthday, Mom floated into the cafeteria, carrying my birthday cake. I was amazed. “Candles!” I shouted, staring at the nine shining on top of the cake. “I thought fire wasn’t allowed on a spaceship.” “Look closer,” my mother said. The candles were really electrical lights, with tiny flame-shaped bulbs.

“Awesome,” I said. “But I wish I could blow them out.”

She laughed, then made a blow, and all nine went out. Another puff, and they lit up again.

“Everybody, sing!” ordered Commander Park. Once the passengers and crew were done, I took my deepest ever breath. I’m nine now. I can do this! I thought. Everyone watched the candles. Whoosh! I blew as hard as I could. All the ship’s lights went out! Everyone gasped (倒抽一口气).

“You didn’t have to blow that hard, David,” said Rebekah. I laughed, and so did Commander Park. Someone asked, “What’s wrong? When is the backup power coming on?”

“I’ll take a look. Does anyone have a flashlight on them?” said Mom.

No one would ever think of taking a flashlight to a birthday party.
