Time Travel
    If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
    The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
    But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called "wormholes", which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
    Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the "grandfather paradox". It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?
    And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles (触角).
    If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
（1）The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show______.
A.the long history of time travel
B.the contribution of H.G. Wells
C.people's interest in time travel
D.the story's different features
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels.
B.It was H.G. Wells who invented the term "time machine".
C.Works of Literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago.
D.There are films, comic books and dramas adapted from the novel The Time Machine.
（3）Einstein's and Hawking's theories______.
A.have similarities because both are based on experiments
B.suggest the possibility of time travel
C.have been proved wrong by some time travelers
D.have pushed the invention of the first spaceship
（4）In Paragraph 4, "grandfather paradox" probably refers to the idea that______.
A.the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
B.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
C.the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
D.the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible
【答案】 （1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，人类一直对时间旅行很感兴趣。从理论上来说，且根据一些科幻书籍以及科学家所说，时间旅行是可以的。但是，从另一个角度而言，时间旅行未必是好事。因此作者认为我们还是生活在现在的好。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel. The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time…”时间旅行的可能性确实很吸引人。探索这个主题的故事已经有几百年了。小说The Time Machine就是一个例子。可推知，在第二段中提到The Time Machine这部小说就是想表明人们对时间旅行的兴趣。故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The term‘time machine’, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.”“时间机器”这个术语，由Wells创造，现在被普遍用于指把人们运送到遥远的未来。可知，是H.G.Wells发明了“时间机器”这个术语。故选B。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“But could time travel actually be possible?”但是时间旅行实际上是可能的吗？，接下来举了爱因斯坦和霍金的例子“Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light”爱因斯坦的相对论使得在极端情况下可以进行时间旅行。英国物理学家斯蒂芬霍金说，你可以用一艘非常快的宇宙飞船以接近光速的速度旅行到未来。，由此可知，霍金和爱因斯坦的理论表明了时间旅行的可能性。故选B。
（4）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?”可知，“grandfather paradox”提出一个问题：如果一个时间旅行者回到过去，他的祖父由于某种原因死亡，那么时间旅行者就无法出生。如果时间旅行者没有出生，他怎么会回到过去？故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇旅游类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
B
What will the future be like? Good or bad? A lot of science-fiction writing imagines a world which is dark and scary. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford hunts robots in a chaotic (混乱的) Los Angeles. Planet of the Apes shows a hopeless future for humankind.
There's a word to describe the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia. It means an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad. The opposite is utopia. But does tomorrow's world have to be so disappointing?
No. A new project wants to use the power of science fiction to inspire people to create a better future. Project Hieroglyph brings together writers, scientists, engineers and artists to create optimistic stories about things which really could happen in the next 50 years.
It's just a matter of making an effort. Experts say it's easier to create a dystopia than write a feel-good story. There's more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting when there are a lot of problems to solve. No challenge, no story!
But the project produced a book with some promising plots. One of them is about environmentalists who fight to stop entrepreneurs (创业者) from building the first hotel in Antarctica. Well, there's conflict there and it seems reasonable, so it could be a good story.
But will these stories actually change anything or just keep us entertained? Ed Finn, the book's editor, thinks the former. He says: "A good science-fiction story can be very powerful. It can inspire hundreds, thousands, millions of people to do something that they want to do."
The influence of science fiction can already be seen in modern research, says Professor Braden Allenby. He asks: "Why are people working on, for example, invisibility cloaks (斗篷)? Well, it's Harry Potter, right?"
Time will tell how far we can go. Let's dream big and think outside the box. Who knows the wonderful things we can come up with?
（1）The underlined word "utopia" in paragraph 2 most probably means "______".
A.a real world where people can do anything they like
B.an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad
C.an imaginary perfect world where everyone is happy
D.a wild and terrible place where no one can live happily
（2）Experts say it's easier to create a dystopia than a feel-good story because ______.
A.a dystopia needs less imagination
B.a feel-good story is more interesting
C.there is no conflict in a feel-good story
D.there are more problems to solve in a dystopia
（3）Professor Braden Allenby takes "invisibility cloaks" as an example ______.
A.to cause readers' attention
B.to amuse science fiction readers
C.to introduce a science fiction story
D.to show the influence of science fiction
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.What is science fiction?
B.Can science fiction help us?
C.What will man do in the future?
D.Shall we live a better life in the future?
【答案】 （1）C
（2）D
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，阐述科幻对我们生活的影响，以及人们努力利用科幻使之产生对我们有利的作用。
（1）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“There's a word to describe the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia. It means an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad. The opposite is utopia.”可知，utopia 的反义词是dystopia，而dystopia是一个阴暗悲惨的世界，因而其反义词则为美好的世界，故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“There's more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting when there are a lot of problems to solve.”可知，dystopia的冲突更多，因而故事就会更有趣，故选D。
（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“The influence of science fiction can already be seen in modern research, says Professor Braden Allenby. He asks: "Why are people working on, for example, invisibility cloaks (斗篷)? Well, it's Harry Potter, right? ”可知，Professor Braden Allenby举例哈利波特的例子来说明科幻对现代人的影响很大，故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了科幻对我们生活的影响和作用，故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
C
    We don't know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
    At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
    Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much 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. Traveling 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 more environmentally friendly.
    We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, 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 can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather optimistic about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
（1）Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B.Because there will be less face­to­face communication.
C.Because people won't like making friends with each other.
D.Because people won't communicate with each other much often.
（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.that computers will do all the things for human beings
B.how people will use computers to communicate with each other
C.that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot
D.how people will use robots to do the housework
（3）According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A.The relationship between people will be more important than that of today.
B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C.It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B.What our life will be like in the year 2050.
C.How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.
D.What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
【答案】 （1）B
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，未来的生活会是什么样子的？大胆去想象吧！
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段可知，在2050年，人们主要通过电脑进行交流，很少进行面对面的交流，人与人之间的关系也就淡薄了，因此那时的人们会感到有点孤独。故选B。
（2）考查段落大意。根据第三段可知，计算机和机器人等会给人类带来很大的帮助，故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段的"Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone."去其他星球或月球旅行对每个人来说都是可行的，可知选C。
（4）考查主旨大意。第一段就是本文的中心，即设想2050年的生活会是什么样子的，故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，段落大意和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科幻类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行推理，概括，从而选出正确答案。

D
From self-driving cars to carebots (care +robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat (威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
"The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces," said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, "Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do." Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. "The growth of companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies," it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured "a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create," according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.
"Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change," Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The result of job reduction.
B.The fast development of AI.
C.The future life of elderly people.
D.The influence of technology on jobs.
（2）What will people most probably do in the future?
A.Take the place of AI.
B.Work in a traditional way.
C.Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D.Enjoy life without working anymore.
（3）What can be known from Grudin's words in the last paragraph?
A.Job unemployment will stay high.
B.More jobs tend to appear in the future.
C.Job competition is likely to grow fiercer.
D.Technology will have less control over jobs.
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A.Are People Losing Their Jobs?
B.The Requirements for Future Jobs
C.The Challenging Life in the Future
D.Does Technology Simplify Everything?
【答案】 （1）D
（2）C
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能的发展会对人们未来生活产生影响，很多职业将会消失，但失去职业并不等于丢掉工作，只是改变了人们做的是什么，人们将会从事更具创造性的工作。
（1）考查段落大意。根据第一段中的“From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat (威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. ”可知第一段主要讲的是科技对工作的影响。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. ”可知在未来人们要从事需要有创造力的工作。故选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs“可知，在未来社会，人们虽然会失业，但却会面临更多的需要创造性的工作。故选B。
（4）考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了人工智能的发展会对人们未来生活产生影响，很多职业将会消失，但失去职业并不等于丢掉工作，只是改变了人们做的是什么，人们将会从事更具创造性的工作。故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断，段落大意和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

    Thinking back on the 6  , I recalled giving my future self some advice. When you're eighteen Years old, twenty-eight seems like a 7   age, but I wasn't feeling as mature as I believed my younger self had 8  me to be.
    When the letter finally reached me, I opened it 9  . It began, "How much do you bet this letter will never get to you? "It continued to greet me casually 10  we were having an IM (instant messaging) chat. As a senior in high school, facing the 11  SATS and college application, my eighteen-year-old self was so 12  ! She was apparently not quite happy and hoped I wouldn't worry so much in the future, and that I wouldn't forget to be present and 13  my life!
    14  to my belief, my eighteen-year-old self did not have any demands of me, or expectations I might have 15  meet. Instead, she wrote, "I'll 16  whatever you do. Even if you are not the one I'm imagining now, I'll support you, because maybe 17  I'm imagining is someone else, but you're not someone else, you're me.
    I was 18  , and tears welled up in my eyes at this 19  through time. I had put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best version of myself that I could be. 20  , I came to realize what I would have accomplished in ten years would pale in comparison(相形见细)to how I'd feel and who I'd be.

    It is a commonly accepted fact that ________ the Earth's temperature rises, the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, ________ (cause) the sea level to rise.
    So, where does this leave the many countries in the world ________have large sections of their populations living in areas which lie at or below sea level? The Netherlands, for example, is one of ________ most highly populated, low-lying countries and ________ (battle) with the problem of flooding for years. Further rises in the sea level would result in much of the country disappearing under water.
    Inventive architects may have come up with a ________ (solve) to the problem: a house actually built on the water. The basic idea is that houses will have a base ________ (fill) with air and a way of anchoring(使固定) them to the ground. This will allow the house ________ (move) upwards whenever the sea level rises and sink back down when the sea level drops. So, will ________ (float) houses be the homes of the future? For some people there may be no alternative.

【答案】 gently；as/when；causing；that/which；the；has been battling；solution；filled；to move；floating
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，当地球变暖的时候，北极和南极的冰会融化，引起海平面的上升，这对生活在海平面或海平面以下的国家来说是一个非常大的问题，所以未来的房子有可能建在水上。
（1）考查副词。句意：你能想象每天在一间被水流轻轻摇晃的房子里醒来的情景吗? 空格前后都是动词，所以应该用副词修饰动词，，故填gently。
（2）考查状语从句。句意：这是一个普遍接受的事实，当地球的温度上升，北极和南极的冰盖将融化，导致海平面上升。It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句，在that引导的主语从句里，有一个从句：___2___ the Earth's temperature rises, 有一个主句：the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, ___3___ (cause) the sea level to rise.主句用的是一般将来时，从句用的是一般现在时，根据句意应该用when或as引导的时间状语从句。故填as/when。
（3）考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个普遍接受的事实，当地球的温度上升，北极和南极的冰盖将融化，导致海平面上升。在这个句子when the Earth's temperature rises, the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, causing  the sea level to rise.中，只有一个连词when，句子的主句已经有谓语动词will melt，所以空格处的动词应该用非谓语动词，空格后用cause的宾语，空格前又有逗号，所以这里不能用动词不定式，只能用现在分词，故填causing。
（4）考查定语从句。句意：那么，这对世界上许多大部分人口生活在海平面或海平面以下的地区的国家来说意味着什么呢?空格处缺少的句子的主语， 根据have large sections of their populations 的主语应该是许多国家many countries，指物，many countries是先行词，所以定语从句的关系词应该用that或which。故填that/which。
（5）考查冠词。句意：例如，荷兰是世界上人口最多、地势低洼的国家之一，多年来一直在与洪水问题作斗争。one of+the形容词的最高级形式+名词的复数形式“……之一”, 所以most 前加the，故填the。
（6）考查时态。句意：例如，荷兰是世界上人口最多、地势低洼的国家之一，多年来一直在与洪水问题作斗争。and连接的是两个并列的谓语动词,现在荷兰也是地势低洼的，从过去开始一直与洪水作斗争一直到现在，并且有可能继续斗争下去，所以应该用现在完成进行时，故填has been battling。
（7）考查名词。句意：富有创造力的建筑师可能已经想出了解决这个问题的办法:一座真正建在水上的房子。空格前是冠词，所以这里应该用名词。solution to the problem “问题的解决方案”。故填solution。
（8）考查非谓语动词。句意：其基本思想就是，房屋将有一个充满空气的基地，并通过一种方式将其固定在地面上。短语be filled with充满；base与fill之间是被动关系。所以应该用过去分词，填filled。
（9）考查非谓语动词。句意：这将允许房子在海平面上升时向上移动，在海平面下降时下沉。allow sb/sth to do 固定短语，“允许……做某事”，所以应该用动词不定式。填to move。
（10）考查非谓语动词。句意：那么，漂浮房屋会成为未来的家吗?float与houses 之间是主动关系，doing表主动，floating作定语修饰后面的名词houses，故填floating。
【点评】本题考点涉及副词，状语从句，非谓语动词，定语从句，冠词，时态，名词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It's a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same.Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus(校园)like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms，classrooms and athletic equipment and，of course，the students.It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses，and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away.But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life，and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area.In fact，a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus，and obviously，if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility，but if you live nearby，go check it out!
If campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply，at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you'd like to attend.It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses，things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit.
Now，if time and money are making it impossible，then check out the online college fairs at College Week Live.It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers，students，and college counselors(顾问)，and it won't cost you a penny! You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive.com.While visiting an online college fair can't take the place of an actual campus visit，it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you'd like to attend.

[参考范文]
It's really worthwhile to pay a visit to their desired colleges personally before applying.Undoubtedly，students should visit their local colleges，which may be included in applications.At least，they should visit the school to attend and figure out its real conditions in advance.For students who are short of money and time，registering online is a good alternative to help them better understand schools.
