Have you ever imagined    1     (live) in 2120, 100 years from now? Latest research describes robots, underwater cities and holidays in space. City planners and experts on space and architecture    2     (ask) to give their opinions on life in 2120. According to them, the way people live, work and play will be totally different     3     how we do these things today. They also said that over twenty years ago, people couldn’t imagine how the Internet     4    the smartphone would change our lives. But today, both have changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things, and the changes in the next century will probably be even     5    (great).

Those     6     (question) in the research said that people may not go to the office in the future but will work at home instead. People will have advanced 3D printers which will let     7    download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa, table or pizza at home.     8     will also be less need for visits to the doctor. People will have a home health capsule that will “diagnose” what the problem is and provide    9    (treat). They will also be going into space for holidays, and     10    (hopeful), to get resources that have been used up on earth.

The Future Life on Mars

Compared with the life we    1     (live) on the earth now, the future life on Mars will be     2    (total) different.

Firstly, without pollution on Mars, people will be able to drink cleaner water    3     breathe fresher air, so they will be    4     (health).The food on Mars will be     5    (differ) from our food now. People will just take    6     (pill) and drink man-made juice instead of eating bread and meat. Secondly, people will travel back to the earth or to other planets for sightseeing     7     spaceship. Additionally, there will be no     8     (fix) school and classrooms. Children will just fly to     9     classroom in the school spaceships. And people won’t work in factories or companies. They can stay at home,     10     (work) with computers.

Can you imagine what the future will be like? Some     1     (company) are looking to produce flying vehicles. That is amazing. If we have our own     2     (person) flying cars, we would fly at 480 kilometers per hour, avoiding busy roads. However,     3     seems that there is a long way to go before they get off the ground! One of the problems     4     (point) out by some people is what     5     (happen) if the flying cars break down.

Others are trying to build a practical suit "exoskeleton", a suit of robot arms and legs      6     follows your movement. It will allow the wearer     7     (lift) heavy objects and walk a long way! It is useful in many ways,     8     (especial) for people with disabilities. This suit might help people to walk again after disease and injury. But the disadvantage at the moment is battery life. A suit like this     9     (need) a lot of power but batteries only last about 15 minutes at the moment.

So in the future, whether we may fly to work     10     lift heavy objects, there are plenty of problems to solve before this is possible.

5G is developing, but most of us aren't really sure what it is or the reason     1     we need it. A big part of the reason is that 5G means more than one thing. If you ask different people, you     2    (provide) with different answers.

Experts believe that 4G is on     3     way out. In 2020, the U.K. is expected to use 5G. At present, it is unknown exactly what influence 5G will have on people's life but it is widely thought that 5G will     4     (definite) be faster than any generation of networks we have used previously.

Work will likely become much easier as 5G will allow quicker downloads and a better ability to work online even if there is no wi-fi connection. With the     5     (develop) of 5G, driverless cars will be able to communicate     6     other vehicles, which can reduce road accidents by about 10%, One of the most     7     (impress) things will be that people can see which seats on a train are accessible to     8     (they) when it arrives at the station.     9     (get) around the world will also be more convenient.

A number of     10     (company) are now working on bringing 5G to the market. It remains to be seen how much of the country 5G will cover and whether everyone will be able to benefit from it.

3D printing and virtual reality are cool, but when are we going to be able to clone ourselves? It'd be fantastic for    1    （we）to send our clone off to school or work and sit back and do    2    we really want to do. There have been important advances in cloning in the last several decades, leading to the    3    （success）cloning of various animals. So far, however, there    4    （be）no human clones.

In large part, cloning has been    5    victim of pop culture to the degree that the general public has grand notions of what it will be like. There is no    6    （possible）of cloning a grown version of ourselves in a matter of hours or days（like you see in the movies）.

    7    （general）, we already have the tools to make cloning happen today; we just have some moral problems     8    （overcome）before the world won't raise major alarms at scientists cloning someone. That leaves the question     9    us then, the general public, do you think cloning is okay? Would you clone a lost loved one to bring them back, or if you found yourself unable to have kids, would you clone yourself? These are the questions we must answer first before we succeed in    10    （create） human clones.

Cards and digital(数字的) technologies     1    (kill) off cash slowly, but is it a cause for concern? Not     2    (necessary). Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.

Cash is no longer king. Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash. The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of     3     time, down from 63% a decade ago. And usage     4    (predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.

Instead we’re paying with cards and digital technologies. Some of this is down to user choice, with contactless cards and smartphones making spending     5    (fast) and more convenient.

But it’s also being forced upon us. Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for     6    (handle) cash. Meanwhile it’s harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and     7    (bank) disappear from the high street. And these are trends which are likely     8    (increase) in the coming years.

This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash,     9     that’s how you pay your bills or how you budget. For some, cash is just what you know. For     10    , cash is a necessity—especially when going digital is the alternative.

As a result this move towards cashless society makes many uneasy.

Your class starts in 10 minutes, but you find yourself     1     (stick) in traffic. Don’t panic. With just a press of a button, your car will lift off the ground and fly to school. What’s your     2     (impress)? It seems like science fiction, but it isn’t. Engineers have taken     3     the research of flying cars, and they have already found     4     (solve) to many of the big challenges. They predict that we’ll all be using these     5     (amaze) vehicles one day. According to Car Trends Magazine, one model,     6     is part car and part plane, is going to be on the market in the not-so-distant future. It will look like a regular car when it’s on the road, but its wings will unfold when the driver     7     (decide) to take to the sky. And     8     (operate) by a computer, all controls will be automatic (自动的). Imagine this: You’ll be doing your homework while your car is getting you to school     9     (safe). And what does this future dream car cost? Well, at first it will be about a million dollars, but after a few years, you’ll be able to buy     10     for “only” $60,000. Don’t throw away your old driver’s license just yet!
