What will your future life look like? Let’s have     1     look.

In 3000, medical technology will be better than ever. When you get up in the morning and look into the mirror, your face will be beautiful and young-looking. Many people at your age could live to be 120, and your parents will just have an anti-aging (抗衰老的)     2     (treat). All of you will look the same age!

Besides, “smart clothes” will contain special particles (粒子),     3     will be much smaller than the cells in your body. They can     4     (design) to change your clothes’ color or pattern. When you say to your shirt, “Turn red,” it will change from blue     5     red. There will also be a great change in your house. If you get into the kitchen, you     6     (find) a special food machine that will tell you what your body needs and help you eat     7     (healthy). In 3000, cars will drive by     8     (they). You can just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, it will be possible     9     (change) the color of the car at the flick of a switch.

Such “smart technology” will be all around you, and let’s look forward to     10     (experience) it.

Today, we have to use     1     (switch) for our lights, knobs for our appliances, and remote controls for our TVs and air conditioners. In the future, we will be using     2     (advance) technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all     3     itself.

Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house? Or, have you ever forgotten to switch    1     the TV or computer? These kinds of things happen to us all the time. However, in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes     2     will lock the door for us when we     3    (be)away. We will be using     4    (advance)technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated sensors (集成传感器 )    5    (tell)when you leave home and then go into an energy-efficient mode.     6    addition, your smart home will be monitoring your health. If you start to have sleep or weight     7     (problem),it will send a warning to your phone. It will also give you some     8    (suggest).Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from accidents. If there is a short in the     9     (electricity)wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide you with the relevant information. Nevertheless, it will take some years     10     most new homes begin to use this new technology.

In the near future, we     1     (live) in smart homes with intelligent controls and regular health checks. We will no longer worry about lights on or not when we leave home.     2     instant we enter the door, the lights will come on. If there is something     3     (normal), we can be warned on the phone to prevent more disasters. There’s no doubt that smart homes make life     4     (easy). Nevertheless, it will take some years     5     most new homes begin to use this new technology.

Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house or switch off the TV? These kinds of things often happen to us,    1    can lead to problems. However, in the near future, we    2    (live) in smart homes that will lock the door and switch off the TV    3    (automatic). These smart homes will provide us with a    4    (comfortable) environment. 

Your home will learn your daily routine and    5    (preference), so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. For example, lights will come on    6    (instant) you enter the door along with your favourite music. All controls will respond to voice commands, so you just say    7    you want and the home system will obey. Besides, it will give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how    8    (sleep) better. 

This smart technology is not     9    fantasy. Nevertheless, it will take some years    10    most new homes begin to use it.

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).     5     food on Mars will be different 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 by spaceship. Additionally, there will be no     7    (fix) school and classrooms. Children will just fly to the classroom     8     the school spaceships. And people won’t work in factories or companies.     9    (them) can stay at home,     10    (work) with computers.

Everyone     1     (complain) about being stuck in traffic. It is quite possible that the future city will have no traffic at all. H.G Wells, in his book The Sleeper Awakes, tells something about the traffic. In the streets of that future London there will be no vehicles. The city     2     (provide) with moving roads. One side of the road travels     3     one direction; the other side moves the opposite way. Anyone who wants to go to another part of the city steps on     4     moving “way” and sits on one of the seats until he arrives. He has none of the troubles,     5     a private car brings with it: whether there is enough petrol, whether the tires are all right, where to park it. The moving way is always at his service, always moving     6     (silent) along, always ready     7     (take) him to his destination. That city of the future has no traffic jams.

To link up the     8     (vary) cities, vehicles driven by atomic power will pass along highways     9     (divide) into two main groups of lanes. Each group will consist of several lanes, some for slow traffic, some for fast. Crossroads will not exist on these highways, but will be replaced by bridges and junctions (交叉口). Where these highways enter     10     (city), ports and other built-up areas, they will pass through underground tunnels.
