Ⅴ.阅读理解
What picture do you have of the future？Futurologists predict (预言) that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology.First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead，people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.
As to the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems.In many places，agriculture is changing and they are growing fruit and vegetables to export.This uses a lot of water.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some_futurologists_predict_that_water_could_be_the_cause_of_war_if_we_don’t_act_now.
In transport，cars will run on new and clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents.Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your place.On the other hand，space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours.By 2050，space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Robots will have replaced people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050，we will see robots everywhere—in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.

Period Five Lesson 4 Virtual Tourism
Ⅰ.1.tourism 2.seaside 3.guide 4.sunshine 5.view 6.central centre 7.zone 8.harbour 9.material 10.average
Ⅱ.1.is located 2.Going against 3.is known as 4.as well 5.settle down 6.the capital of
Ⅲ.1.(1)scene/sight (2)view (3)scene (4)sights (5)scenery
[(1)view常指在远处或高处以人的角度看到scenery的一部分。
(2)sight指“风景，名胜”，用复数形式指人文景观。
(3)scene普通名词，指“一眼可以浏览的风景”，不限于自然风景。on the scene在现场，当场。
(4)scenery集合名词，指该地区的“整个风景”，是由多个scene构成的景色。]
2．(1)as well as (2)as well (3)as well as
[as well as和as well意思一致，但用法不一样。
(1)as well as是介词短语，第二个as后要加宾语。
(2)as well是副词短语，可单独使用，且常放在句末。]
Ⅳ.1.B [当as well as连接名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词应与前面的名词或代词在数上保持一致，故用单数。]
2．D [因影响买房的关键因素是窗外美丽的风景，故用view；而vision意为“视力，看见”；look和picture在此处均不可表风景，故选D项。]
3．A [settle down to sth./doing sth.静下心做……
。句意为：当一个人生气时他无法静下心来看书。]
4．C [it作形式主语，真正的主语为其后的不定式结构。]
5．A [on average平均起来，符合语境。in common共同的；in particular特别，尤其；in the end最终。]
6．C [normal平常的；usual普通的；regular定期的，定时的；common普通的，共同的。由语境可知选C项。]
7．C [本题考查动词词组的辨析。句意为：虽然我们投资这项工程冒极大的风险，但是从长远看还是会盈利的。pay off盈利；go off下来；脱下；turn up出现；come up走近；被提出，故选C项。]
8．C [第一空填as“作为”；be known to表示“为……所知”；be known for表示“因……而出名”。句意为：作为一名作家，韩寒因其《三重门》而被中国年轻人所知。故选C项。]
9．C [句意为：我们总是保持足够多的纸张以防用尽。too much太多，不合句意；a number of＋n. (pl.)；plenty of许多，大量，后既可跟不可数名词，也可跟可数名词复数；a good many＋n. (pl.)，故选C项。]
10．A [view指从某一特定角度观看到的景物，尤其是美丽的自然风景，符合语境。句意为：四周乡间的景色壮观秀丽。]
Ⅴ.1.A [细节判断题。本文主要从四个方面(电视、水、交通和机器人使用)说明了2050年的生活和现在的生活的不同。]
2．D [细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day”可知答案。]
3．C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“they will go very fast”以及“By 2050，space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours”可知，到2050年交通速度大大加快，人们旅行时所花在交通上的时间将会减少。]
4．B [推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，未来水短缺将会是战争的起因，再根据“if we don’t act now”可知，作者暗示人们从现在起就要采取措施保护水源。]
