文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来生活的几种变化。

1 . Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Scientists think that many wonderful things may come true in our future life.     1    

Are you wondering whether there’ll be televisions in the future?     2     Television screens (屏幕) probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you.

    3     What people may eat in the future will be man-made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. Worry about the taste? You may be wrong. The man-made food will be delicious and healthy because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.

What about driving cars in the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Computer systems will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go.     4     Computer controls will make all speeding cars miss each other or stop in time. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.

    5     Cities may have large domes (穹顶) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won’t have to worry about the weather. It will rain only when the “weather man” thinks it is necessary. In all other days you will be able to enjoy pleasant weather.The future should be a wonderful time to live. But the time you are living in now is also “a wonderful future” to the people who lived 100 years ago.

A.What about the food of the future?
B.In the future, life will be the same as we live today.
C.People will suffer from serious hunger in the future.
D.And it probably will be impossible for car accidents to happen.
E.Now let’s see what the wonders are that may appear in the future.
F.The future televisions will be totally different from what they are.
G.But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类工作时间的变化以及自动化对工作方式的影响。

2 . Back in 1930, one economist predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d only be working 15 hours a week by now. But while working hours have ________ by 26%, most of us still average 42.5 hours a week. One of the things he underestimated is the human desire to ________ with our peers.

So when some predicted that automation would create an extra amount of ________ time, needless to say, that didn’t happen. In the 1980s, managers could demand employees under the ________ that jobs could be given to someone else thanks to computerization. The ________ piled on. Overwork has been proven to ________ many diseases and even death. ________we carried on — until COVID-19 came along.

Besides making us work longer hours from home, COVID-19 bas also ________ the move towards the adoption of automated machine. By 2050, some professor predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to ________.

There are ________. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are all likely to ________ the AI revolution. As are jobs that rely on creativity. The same also goes for________ jobs, due to the large number of different objects and the variety of ways those objects need to be cleaned. Also, robots are unlikely to ________ in the “work” of taking care of children, preparing lunchboxes, etc.

Those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning or creative field will still work in future, just ________. In about 60% of occupations, a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning changes to the way we work.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过TikTok 的“时间旅行”滤镜会显示出人变老的过程,而“时间旅行”滤镜给人们带来的感受各不相同。

5 . Our future selves used to be a riddle. Now, thanks to social media filters (滤镜), we can stare them right in the face. People fell in love with TikTok this month to share themselves “aging” in real time using a filter “time travel”. Set to a sad song, the effect shows the user’s face slowly getting older, complete with wrinkles (皱纹) and sunspots.

Camera filters that age you have been around for years. But advancements in AI are making the results more real. Doctor Aleksandra Brown said the TikTok time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age.

As we get older, our facial skin thins, fat dissolves (溶解) and gravity pulls everything downward. Not everyone is pleased about this. One of Brown’s friends didn’t like watching time fly past. She couldn’t stand watching herself age 50 years in 15 seconds-could life really go by that fast? Brown cried herself after using the aging effect on her own young daughter. She won’t live to see her daughter get that old, she pointed out.

For other people, the time travel filter brought up unexpected positive feelings. Actor Jonathan Bennett shared a video saying his own filtered face recalled happy memories of his late father. Nicole Loehle, a 24-year-old in New Jersey, tested the effect with her boyfriend. It gave her a new viewpoint, she said, she could imagine the relationship lasting into their old age.

There’s no correct way to age. But it’s important to remember that no one can stop time or undo its effects. “I keep trying to view aging as a gift.” Brown said, “Some people don’t get to age, unfortunately?”

1. What can people do with the filter “time travel”?
A.Find their partners.B.See their aging faces.
C.Experience others’ lives.D.Guess their future success.
2. What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Reminders of the good old days.B.Reasons for using the aging effect.
C.Reflections on close personal relationships.D.Responses to the aging effect of “time travel”.
3. Which of the following would Brown probably agree with?
A.It’s good to watch time fly past.B.The “time travel” needs advancements.
C.Not everyone is fortunate enough to get old.D.TickTok invented the first app with aging effect.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.TikTok’s “time travel”: slowly or quicklyB.TikTok’s “time travel”: backward or forward
C.TikTok’s “time travel”: to enjoy or to sufferD.TikTok’s “time travel”: to develop or to drop

文章大意:本文一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着科技的发展,我们终将拥有帮助我们完成任何任务的机器人。

9 . One day, you might be ordering your favorite pizza from a robot.Researchers at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are working on creating a pizza-making robot.

“Robots are basically preprogrammed to repeat the same actions over and over,” says David Held, a robot expert from Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the members of a pizza-making team.But making pizza has challenges.For instance, the flour (面粉) will become squishy when meeting water, with a shape that can change in many ways.Also, pizza-making requires many steps—such as rolling and cutting—and several tools, including a rolling, a knife and so on.In what order should the steps be done? Which tools should be picked, and when? “If you need to do a cooking task, there are several levels that you have to reason about,” Held says.Once people get the hang of it, “We don’t even need to think about exactly how we’re doing it- it sort of just happens.But robots can’t really “understand what to do on their own”.

To start, the team used a computer to consider how a robot could lift, fatten, gather, move and cut dough (生面团).The method has two levels of robotic reasoning: one that thinks how it should approach the overall task, and the other that thinks how it should move its “hands” to perform each action.The result was better than with the usual programming techniques.“We got a little bit closer to the right shape than the former methods,” Held says.“‘But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.”

For now, people will continue to make pizza the old-fashioned way: with their own hands.Sill, a pizza-making robot is a good goal.And if a robot could deal with dough, it could also work with other objects that can change shapes.“You can imagine robots helping in hospitals, or robots that clean up toys in day cares,” Held says.“The general goal is to eventually have robots that can help with whatever the task may be.”

1. What does the underlined word “squishy” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Soft.B.Dirty.C.Plain.D.Precious.
2. What is a challenge for pizza-making robots?
A.Separating flour from water.
B.Doing all the steps in order.
C.Using several tools at once.
D.Repeating the same actions.
3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Methods of moving a pizza.
B.Problems with pizza making.
C.Improvements to the pizza robot.
D.Suggestions on how to make pizza.
4. What does Held say about the development of robots in the future?
A.They will help humans in different fields.
B.They will replace humans to do all the work.
C.They will do better than humans in day cares.
D.They will do whatever task as well as humans.
