unit 3 life in the future using language課時作業(yè).閱讀理解athe year is 2094. it has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the earth. most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the earth.on 17 july, a piece four kilometers wide enters the earths atmosphere with a massive explosion. about half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the south atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. the sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. the wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern africa at 800 kilometers an hour. cities on the african coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.before the waves reach south america, the second piece of the comet lands in argentina. earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the andes mountains. the shock waves move north into california and all around the pacific ocean. the cities of los angeles, san francisco and tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north wont escape for long. because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. crops are ruined. the sun wont be seen again for many years. wars break out as countries fight for food. a year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.could it really happen? in fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. the dinosaurs were on the earth for over 160 million years. then about 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a piece of object in space. the dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. will we meet the same end?語篇解讀：文章主要描述了2094年如果一顆彗星的碎片撞向地球，人類可能面臨終結(jié)。1what is mainly described in the passage?aa historical discovery.ban event of imagination.ca research on space.da scientific adventure.解析：選b細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的時間2094以及下文的內(nèi)容可知，文章描述了人類在2094年可能會遭遇的災(zāi)難。這些事情只是一種想象而已。2when the first piece hits the south atlantic, it causes _.aan earthquakebdamages to citiescan earth explosion dhuge waves解析：選d細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.”可知答案。3why cant the northern half of the earth escape for long?abecause the land is covered with water.bbecause the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.cbecause people there can not live at the temperature of zero.dbecause wars break out among countries.解析：選b推理判斷題。文章第三段中提到，南半球的數(shù)以百萬計的人已經(jīng)死了，而北半球也逃脫不了這種厄運。因為太陽照不到地球，地球上的溫度幾乎降到了零度。莊稼遭到了破壞，食物缺乏導(dǎo)致戰(zhàn)爭的爆發(fā)。所以，一切的根源在于b項所提到的事情。4by giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove _.aanimals could not live in the cold climatebwhat happened 65 million years ago was an invented storycthe human beings will die out in 2094dthe earth could be hit by other objects in space解析：選d推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“could it really happen？”以及“will we meet the same end？”兩個問題的提出可知，作者是想通過舉恐龍這一例子說明地球很有可能再次遭遇撞擊。bas an oceanographer (海洋學(xué)家), ive spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now were putting that technology to use in our jason project, a program thats designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. in theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large areas of the globe. not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. the kids have the sensation (感受) of really being at the site with us.i believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. in the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模擬) other environments. i like to call these rooms “home domes” small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest. hand in hand with these rooms, i can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. you could rent (租) a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robots movements. the equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robots environment and simulate them for you.today, much of the worlds population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. and even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earths sights. but this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. and simulated travel will also help protect our planet. you cant take large groups of tourists to look at dian fosseys gorillas (大猩猩). but a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了一種新型旅游方式利用機器人模擬真實場景，讓人們足不出戶感受自然風(fēng)光。5the main purpose of the jason project is to _.adesign robots beducate childrencexplore the world dimprove technology解析：選b細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“thats designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics”可知，jason project主要是為了培養(yǎng)孩子對科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)的興趣，即該項目起教育作用。6without going outside, people in “home domes” can _.aenjoy a guided tripbget very close to naturecdevelop and operate robotsdsend images back to scientists解析：選b細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，作者把利用機器人技術(shù)模擬自然環(huán)境的房間稱為“home domes”，人們在這樣的房間里可以足不出戶親近大自然。7whats the authors attitude towards the future of robot technology?auncaring. bdoubtful.chopeful. ddissatisfied.解析：選c推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“i believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel.”和“i can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world”可知，作者對機器人技術(shù)在新型旅游中的應(yīng)用充滿希望。8according to the text, simulated travel _.ahas been widely acceptedbcosts lots of time and moneycis harmful to the environmentdis time and moneysaving解析：選d推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money . simulated travel will also help protect our planet.”可知，模擬旅游省時省錢。cthese are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.we will have established a base on the moon. school kids can take field trips to the moon weekly. we will have found cures (療法) for aids and cancer. the war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! history will be the main subject at school. cafeteria (自助餐廳) food will be delicious! you just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat. kristenhere i am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. i work in a pet store and it is so hard! i have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store. it takes so long to get there. it takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in mississippi from my home in florida! at work, i have to push 5 buttons and then i go home. it takes 2 seconds and that is like forever. morganin the year 2500, i think we will have invented cars that run on things we dont need like garbage. tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate. i also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension (維) so your car wont hit them. the cars in 2500 dont fly, for we havent got that technology yet, but they can hover (盤旋) up to seven feet. these cars are made for speed! carlyinstead of cars, we may have hovering devices that float around. we could also have electric cars instead of gaspowered cars. food might be more healthy. what i believe is that the environment will change the most. the environmental changes will also determine many other changes. if more people try to help the environment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife. if people wont help the environment, then we will have no forests and little wildlife left. roberta語篇解讀：2500年的生活會是什么樣子呢？人們對它展開了豐富的想象。9according to kristen, what will happen in 2500?aenglish will be the main subject at

a lotbthere will be more wildlife and forestscthe environment will be seriously damageddcars will run on solar power and electricity解析：選a細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中羅伯塔所說的那段話可知，她所堅信的是環(huán)境一定會變化很大，或往好的方面變化，或往壞的方面變化。.閱讀七選五you are going placesit was another boring and sad day. i had come home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. i work at a local restaurant as a busser (餐廳侍者助手)_1_ and to make matters worse i was busing that evening. its the same thing over and over again. dealing with customers who complain about their food, where they are sitting and whether the piece of pie that they are served is too big or too small. _2_ though its annoying (惱人的), we all have to learn to deal with it._3_ it happened to be the very area where i bused and kept the dirty dishes in the bins. these elderly women watched how i was busing and working really hard to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.when they had finished their meals, i took their plates back to the kitchen. they talked to me for a while about school, how i was doing, and what grade i was in. _4_as they were
