American author Isaac Asimov（1920—1992）, one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. 1. . Now that we're here, let's see what he got right. 2. . Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tablets and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration.3. .CDG How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments?4. . He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents' candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry,but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead,he thought hard about the social implications（作用） of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. 5. . Asimov had his finger on the pulse（脉搏） of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series（《银河帝国系列》）.“His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase,an English writer, told BBC News.“He was a genius.”AFA. As a smart boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five.B. Space exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable.C. Back in 1983, he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019.D. On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate.E. Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood.F. As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.G. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养自己对未来发展的特殊意识的。1. ___C[解析] 上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋”；下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知，空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。C项承上启下。2. ___D[解析] 根据下文可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命。D项说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容符合。3. ___G[解析] 根据上文“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration”可知，此处要接着讲他对太空探索的预言的结果。G项切题。4. ___A[解析] 下一句提到他读了报纸和杂志，此处应是与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。A项承上启下。5. ___F[解析] 本段主要在讲作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题，故选F项。Ⅲ.写作 你校上周六组织高三学生参观了新北机器人制造公司（Xinbei Robots）。请你写一篇观后感, 给校英文报投稿, 内容包括： 1.参观过程： 2.你的收获和感想。 注意：词数80左右。 A Visit to Xinbei Robots_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文A Visit to Xinbei Robots Last Saturday afternoon our school organized a visit to Xinbei Robots for Senior Three students, which turned out to be an instructive event. During the visit, we learned about the procedure of making robots and listened to a lecture about robots' development. Besides, the most exciting thing was that we were given a chance to interact with those multifunctional robots. Not only can they talk and sing, but they can also cook and do housework for us. I was utterly amazed by the great convenience technology has brought to our life and took great pride in the advances our country has made in technology. Moreover, I'm more determined to work hard for my dream. I want to become a scientist and do my bit for the promising future of our country.Ⅳ.读后续写 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn't wait to start their holiday. A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can't be.” Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!” Derek and Shirley held each other's hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I'm equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.” Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong... could possibly go wrong... go wrong... go wrong...” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Derek and Shirley looked at each other with wild panic in their eyes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Don't worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and your taxi is also a driverless car.”______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文 Derek and Shirley looked at each other with wild panic in their eyes. The taxi was moving faster and faster, and “Rocky” seemed to be malfunctioning. “Slow down!” Derek shouted, but “Rocky” did not respond. The robot drove even faster than before and narrowly missed a car. Terrified, Derek grabbed his phone. With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company. “Hello?” Derek shouted into the phone. “Our robot driver is having a breakdown and he's completely out of control. We need help now!” “Don't worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued, “We have the authority to disable the robotdriver. Let me switch your taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and then continued as if nothing had happened, although its driver could be still heard mumbling to himself, “go wrong... go wrong...” . When they finally arrived at their hotel, Derek and Shirley quickly got out of the taxi, relieved and grateful to be alive. As they watched the taxi move away, they agreed that for the rest of the holiday, they would walk everywhere!

The robot drove even faster than before and narrowly missed a car. Terrified, Derek grabbed his phone. With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company. “Hello?” Derek shouted into the phone. “Our robot driver is having a breakdown and he's completely out of control. We need help now!” “Don't worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued, “We have the authority to disable the robotdriver. Let me switch your taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and then continued as if nothing had happened, although its driver could be still heard mumbling to himself, “go wrong... go wrong...” . When they finally arrived at their hotel, Derek and Shirley quickly got out of the taxi, relieved and grateful to be alive. As they watched the taxi move away, they agreed that for the rest of the holiday, they would walk everywhere!
