easier for us.on the other hand，our relationships with other people wont be as important as they are todaywe will feel a little lonely.computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.for example，they will be used by children at school to make their learning easier.in addition，there will be more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us.spending holidays will also be completely different.travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.means of transport will，of course，change，too.we will be using solarpowered cars，which will be much environmentally friendly.we could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment.but it isnt true.we will pay more attention to protecting the environment.scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or aids.therefore，our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.although we cannot predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them.we worry about our and our childrens future；we have expectations，hopes as well as fears.but i think we should be rather sanguine about our future.we should be happy and believe good things will happen.【语篇解读】本文主要是对2050年的世界将会发生什么变化进行了简单的想象，提到了人们将去其他星球旅行，以及电脑、机器人等能为人类做的各种事情等。1the underlined word“sanguine”in the last paragraph most probably means .adisappointedbsurprisedccuriousdoptimisticd词义猜测题。根据最后一段的最后一句“we should be happy and believe good things will happen.”可知，作者认为我们应该对将来保持乐观的心态，相信美好的事情将会发生。disappointed失望的；surprised惊讶的；curious好奇的；optimistic乐观的。故选d。2according to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050?ait will not be difficult for people to travel to other planets.bour environment will be much polluted with a growing number of cars.cthe way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.dthe relationship between people will be more important.a细节理解题。根据第四段“spending holidays will also be completely different.travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.”可知，在2050年，旅游度假也将会变得不同，每个人都能去其他星球旅行。故选a。3the third paragraph mainly tells .athat computers will do all the things for human beingsbhow people will use robots to do the houseworkcthat machines like computers and robots will help people a lotdhow people will use computers to communicate with each otherc段落大意题。根据“computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.there will be more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots”可知，第三段讲的是到2050年，电脑和其他机器如机器人将帮助人们做许多事情。故选c。4what does the passage mainly talk about?awhat high technology will appear in the year 2050.bwhat our life will be like in the year 2050.chow people will communicate in the year 2050.dhow people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.b主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容及其后各段落的第一句可知，文章对2050年的生活进行了一些大胆的猜想。故选b。bmany people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle.yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.over the past 10 years，developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality.now，two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.the british company malloy aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle.grant stapleton，marketing sales director of malloy aeronautics，says the hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“it can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed，” he adds.mr.stapleton says safety was the companys main concern.he says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.the company is testing a fullsize prototype of the hoverbike，which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.in new zealand，martin aircraft company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device，called the jetpack.it can fly for more than 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.peter coker is the ceo of martin aircraft company.he said the jetpack is built around safety from the start.in his words，“reliability is the most important element of it.we have safety built into the actual structure itself，very similar to a formula one racing car.”the jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams.mr.coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞)that can be used，if there should be an emergency.“it starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot，” he adds.mr.coker says the jetpack will be ready for sale soon.【语篇解读】本文为说明文。文章主要讲述了一种个人飞行工具很快就会应用于现实，然而安全性和强度一直是个大问题，文中介绍了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位，并对产品进行了改进。5we can learn from the passage that the hoverbike .acan hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklybcan fly for over 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters highchas been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsdcan be transported quickly after being folded and packedd细节理解题。根据第二段最后“the hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.it can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed”，可知，hoverbike能够很快地进出小空间。它可快速地在大陆上移动，因为它可以折叠和包装。d项符合文章内容。【解题策略】细节理解题正确选项的几大特征：通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征：1.对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。如d项就是对原句的关键词进行了替换。原文说能快速进入小空间，在陆地上快速移动，是因为它能折叠和包装。而d项说折叠和包装后可快速运输。2.词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的时态或语态，给考生制造障碍。如c项把未然当成已然(句中的将来进行时表未做)，c项完成时表完成。3.语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。4.张冠李戴的手法来迷惑考生。把a的观点说成b的观点等。如选项b。所以做题时要仔细地辨认。6peter coker uses the example of a formula one racing car to show that .athe jetpack is very safe and reliablebthe engine of the jetpack is powerfulcthe actual structure of the jetpack is uniquedthe jetpack can reach a great speed and heighta推理判断题。第六段peter coker说jetpack从一开始就围绕安全进行的，安全可靠性是最重要的因素。我们在车的现行结构中植入了安全性，非常类似于formula one赛车。分析选项可知a项(jetpack安全可靠)符合题意，故选a项。7the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .athe jet streambthe enginecthe jetpackdthe parachuted词义猜测题。根据最后一段mr.coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used，if there should be an emergency.“it starts to work at very low altitude.”，可知，jetpack上的降落伞，(它)是在海拔低时才用。由此可知it指的是parachute (降落伞)，故选d项。8what is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ato describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.bto introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.cto show the differences between two flying vehicles.dto advertise the two personal flying vehicles.b写作意图题。根据第一段可知，许多人一直梦想能像骑自行车一样简单的飞来飞去，科技的发展让这个梦想很快实现。然而飞行自行车的安全性和强度一直是个大问题。接着下面叙述了两家研发飞行器的公司的最新的产品，新产品把安全放在首位。分析选项，可知b项(介绍飞行器的最新发展)符合文意。.阅读七选五youve seen news reports about people who need

schedule.(找到适合你时间表的。)切题。4a上文提示“志愿活动是学习新技能的好方法从团队工作到设定和达到目标。”再根据下文提示“它可以帮助你对不同于你的人产生新的理解残疾人，有经济问题的人，生病的孩子，或者老年人。”承接上下文，a项切题。该项中的it指代的是上文中的volunteering并与下文的it
