2020届一轮复习人教版必修五Unit3life in the future单元学案设计 单元话题阅读 It’s exciting to imagine how future humans will have solved the problems we have now,or what amazing new inventions will make our lives more convenient and interesting. ◆Robots will do your chores(杂务) and more. Robots will be doing most of our jobs,from building homes to teaching math. There are already robots that clean floors and pump gas. In the future they will be more complicated(复杂的) and useful. Unfortunately,with robots taking all the jobs,unemployment will be high. ◆You will read minds. Speaking of being social,we will communicate in an entirely different way. Forget texts and emails. Mindreading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word. We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us.(Instead of pressing “start” on the microwave,you could just think “start”.) Meanwhile,chips implanted(植入) in our brains will improve memory and intelligence. ◆Your car will drive you. Today,around 30,000 Americans die in car accidents each year. One hundred years from now,accidents will be a thing of the past. According to Mark Safford,consultant of the U.S. Department of Transportation,future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds. ◆You will eat fake(假的) meat. Raising animals is not the best way to produce food,and it harms the environment. Today,scientists can “grow” meat in a lab from animal cells,but it’s expensive and not very delicious. In the future,they will have perfected the process. You’ll order hamburgers that come from factories,not cows. Scientists may even find ways to make labgrown meat tastier and healthier than the real thing. 阅读短文,判断正(T)误(F) 1.When robots become more common in the future,fewer people will lose their jobs.( F ) 2.According to the passage,cars will be much easier to operate in the future.( T ) Period One Warming Up & Reading—Prereading 匹配左边的单词与右边的汉语意思 [第一组] 1.jet A.n.方面;层面 2.previous B.adj.时常发生的;连续不断的 3.tablet C.n.喷气式飞机 4.aspect D.adj.在前的;早先的 5.constant E.n.药片 答案 1.C 2.D 3.E 4.A 5.B [第二组] 6.tolerate A.n.太空舱;胶囊 7.stewardess B.n.女乘务员 8.carriage C.vt.容忍;忍受 9.capsule D.n.面具;面罩;伪装 10.mask E.n.运输工具;四轮马车;客车 答案 6.C 7.B 8.E 9.A 10.D [第三组] 11.switch A.vt.系牢;扎牢 12.fasten B.n.腰带;皮带 13.optimistic C.vt.& vi.(使)闪光;(使)闪现 14.belt D.n.开关;转换;vt.转换 15.flash E.adj.乐观(主义)的 答案 11.D 12.A 13.E 14.B 15.C Step 1 Fastreading 1.The passage is mainly about .

His guide,Wang Ping,who was very 5.understanding(understand),gave him some green tablets and a mask,6.which helped him overcome the problems. However,Li Qiang experienced something new. He flew 7.above the ground in a hovering carriage.8.Arriving(arrive) home,he was shown into a large,bright clean room with a wall of trees. After eating something,he fell fast 9.asleep(sleep)in the bed that 10.was produced(produce) from the floor. Step 4 Sentencelearning 1.This is similar to the “jet lag” you get from flying,but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period. [句式分析] 这是一个含有复合句的并列句。第一个句子中含有定语从句you get from flying,修饰jet lag;第二个句子中you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period是表语从句。 [自主翻译] 这就与你乘坐飞机会产生“时差反应”相似,所不同的是,在你的脑子里似乎会不断地闪现以前的时光。 2.I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening. [句式分析] when引导定语从句,修饰先行词the moment,在定语从句中含有and连接的并列句。 [自主翻译] 我仍然记得那个时刻,太空女乘务员让我们都进入时间舱,我们通过一个小开口爬进去。 3.However,I lost sight of Wang Ping when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriages flying by in all directions. [句式分析] 这是一个主从复合句。I lost sight of Wang Ping为主句;when引导的是一个时间状语从句,在该从句中包含一个由what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中作主语;flying by in all directions为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰carriages。 [自主翻译] 可是,当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时,由于太多的车子朝四面八方飞奔,我看不见王平了。 4.I realized that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown! [句式分析] 这是一个主从复合句。that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown是宾语从句,在从句中of后又含有一个宾语从句what was still my hometown。 [自主翻译] 我这才意识到我被送到了未来,但却仍然在自己的家乡!

But what will the changes be? The population is growing fast. And most of them will live longer than people now. Computers will be much smaller and more useful,and there will be at least one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports,watching TV and travel. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays. There will be changes in our food,too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep,so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different,too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this,many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a big problem. 语篇解读 未来的生活和现在相比会有很多的不同,本文就从人口、电脑和食物等几方面预测了未来的生活。 4.In the future there will be . A.much more fruits B.more people C.fewer vegetables D.less people 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。由第二段前两句“The population is growing fast.And most of them will live longer than people now.”可以推出,将来人口会更多。 5.In the future people don’t have to . A.work long hours B.work fast C.walk on foot D.eat meat 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。由第三段第三句可以得知,将来人们不必工作太长时间。 6.People may not eat as much as they do today. A.fruit B.fish C.meat D.rice 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。由第四段第三、四句可知,将来由于没有太多的地方饲养动物,肉的价格会上涨,人们可能不会每天吃肉了。 7.One big problem in the future is that . A.many people don’t have to work B.many people will not be able to find work C.people have to work fast D.all the work will be done by robots 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。由短文最后一段最后两句可以得出答案。 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 sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen. 语篇解读 2050年的生活将是什么样的呢?本文对几个方面进行了想象。 8.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. 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,在2050年,人们主要通过电脑进行交流,而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。 9.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 答案 C 解析 段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知,计算机和机器人等机器会给人类很大的帮助,故选C。 10.According to the passage,which of the following will happen in 2050? A.The relationship between people will be more important than 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. 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.”可知C项正确。 11.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”. A.disappointed B.surprised C.curious D.optimistic 答案 D 解析 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句话可以猜测出作者认为我们对未来应该持积极乐观的态度,故选D项。 Ⅱ.七选五 People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then,how can we know what the future will look like? 12 The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years,but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago,such as food,sleep,the feeling of being appreciated and loved. 13 No.In addition,generally speaking,the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication,to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area,this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years. But why do we need to predict the future?Predicting the future is important for two reasons:first we need to start to think about what kind of future we’d like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation. 14 How about the virtual worlds?It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes,and hear the waves,just lying in your bed at home. 15 So,even if a great invention is there for an affordable price,it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it’s not real. 16 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oildependent society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine,continued exploration of space,challenges in the climate change,and new inventions that make life a little easier. A.So what will the future look like then? B.Will this change in the next 150 years? C.Predicting the future can help us in many ways. D.However,you’ll never get the feeling of being there. E.Well,to understand the future,you must know the past. F.However,no matter how real the experience will feel,it doesn’t happen for real. G.Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future. 语篇解读 人们总是好奇我们的未来会是什么样,本文作者向我们展示了我们预测未来的原因及未来50年有可能会发生的变化。 12.答案 E 解析 根据第一段中空格前的句子“Then,how can we know what the future will look like?”和空格后的句子“The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years...”可知空格处讲的是过去和未来的关系,所以E项(为了更好地理解未来,我们必须知道过去)符合语境。 13.答案 B 解析 根据空后的“No.”可知此处应该为一般疑问句,又根据本段的意思可知空格处的意思是:在接下来的150年,这些会改变吗?故选B。 14.答案 G 解析 根据本段中“Predicting the future is important for two reasons:first we need to start to think about...”可知,空格处应该是第二个原因,故用then来引出句子,即然后我们需要知道今天需要做什么样的决定,会给未来带来最好的结果,故选G。 15.答案 F 解析 根据空格前句可知躺在家里的床上感受到的一切再真实也不是现实,因为现实中没有发生这样的事情,故选F。 16.答案 A 解析 本段主要谈论了未来会是什么样子。根据空格后的“What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oildependent society to a new society.”可知选A。 Period Two Warming Up & Reading—Language points Ⅰ.写出下列单词的汉语意思(共15小题;每题1分,满分15分) 1.jet n.喷气式飞机 2.previous adj.在前的;早先的 3.tablet n.药片 4.expertise n.专家意见;专门知识(技能等) 5.capsule n.太空舱;胶囊 6.steward n.乘务员;服务员 7.stewardess n.女乘务员 8.sideways adv.往(向、从)一侧;侧着;侧面朝前 9.combination n.结合;组合 10.mask n.面具;面罩;伪装 11.hover vi.盘旋 12.belt n.腰带;皮带 13.flash vt.& vi.(使)闪光;(使)闪现 14.exhausted adj.筋疲力尽的;疲惫不堪的 15.pessimistic adj.悲观(主义)的 Ⅱ.写出下列汉语对应的英语单词(共15小题;每题2分,满分30分) 16. aspect n.方面;层面 17.impression n.印象;感想;印记 18.constant adj.时常发生的;连续不断的→constantly adv.不断地 19.uncertain adj.不确切的;无把握的 20. guide n.指导;向导;导游;vt.指引;指导 21.surroundings n.周围的事物;环境→surrounding adj.周围的→surround vt.围绕 22.tolerate vt.容忍;忍受 23.lack vi.& vt.缺乏;没有;n.缺乏;短缺的东西 24.adjustment n.调整;调节→adjust vt.调整;调节 25.carriage n.运输工具;四轮马车;客车 26.press vi.& vt.按;压;逼迫;n.按;压;印刷;新闻 27.fasten vt.系牢;扎牢 28.switch n.开关;转换;vt.转换 29. timetable n.时间表;时刻表 30.optimistic adj.乐观(主义)的 Ⅲ.写出下列短语或短语对应的汉语意思(共10小题;每题2分,满分20分) 31.take up拿起;接受;开始;继续 32.as a result结果;因此 33.make an adjustment/adjustments to对……作出调整 34.in no time立刻,马上 35.lose sight of...看不见…… 36.be back on one’s feet (困境后)恢复;完全复原 37.in all directions四面八方 38.sweep up打扫;横扫 39.catch sight of看见 40.slide into(快捷而悄声地)移动;溜进…… Ⅳ.完成句子(共5小题;每题7分,满分35分) 41.Worried about the journey,I was unsettled for the first few days. 因为担心这次旅行,头几天我心里总是不踏实。 42.At first my new surroundings were difficult to tolerate.开始的时候新的环境让我难以忍受。 43.

Other people believe that man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How,in their views,will people be living in a hundred years’ time? One architect(建筑师) believes that man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge,pyramidshaped(金字塔形的) building,which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there,and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea,we will give farmers more land to grow crops. As for oil,people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals,because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment,we do not have the technology to get them out.But,in a hundred years’ time,the optimists say,the new sea cities will be using these resources. What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling? Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that,by the year 3000,shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home. People will be wearing very light,thin clothes. By this time,scientists will have invented a fabric (织物) that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. As for travel,the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it. What an interesting picture!Unfortunately,we will not be there to see if these predictions come true. 语篇解读 本文主要介绍了人们对未来生活的不同看法以及人们对未来生活的预测。 30.Pessimists believe that in the future .

There may be telepathy helmets(心灵感应帽) that send through waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it!You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! What about the food of the future?Scientists think that much of it will be artificial—made in factories from such surprising things as coal,limestone,air,and water.The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. The future hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. What about highways of the future?Well,a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer(驾驶).Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won’t even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home. But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes(圆顶罩) over them to keep out snow,rain,or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park,you won’t have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the “weatherman” thinks it is necessary to fresh the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago. 语篇解读 本文是一篇科普说明文。作者对未来的生活进行了畅想。 29.What can we learn from the passage?

The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition software.The facial recognition software of the future home will not only recognize friends,but strangers as well. And the software in your future home will run the strangers’ faces against a database of criminals. The future home will also have smart appliances(家电) as well. There will be a vast networking system connecting them. Ovens,microwaves and refrigerators will be controlled automatically(自动地),so remote cooking will be a possibility and meals are prepared for your arrival. There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water. Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized drinking water. If you think this future home idea is pie in the sky or science fiction,then think again. Most of the systems described here are either in development or already out at the market. Future homes may not be standard yet for the middle class but this isn’t as far ahead as many people would think. 语篇解读 本文是一篇科普说明文。讲述了未来家庭的巨大变化。 32.What can the facial recognition software be used for in future homes?

A.Smart Future Home B.A Smart Networking System C.Software in Future Home D.Various Household Appliances 答案 A 解析 标题归纳题。根据文章首段可知,未来的家是人们几十年来谈论的东西。科学家和工程师们一直在努力开发不同的系统以便使居室变得“更智能”。文章接下来列举了几款使居室变得“更智能”的科技设施。故A项应为文章的最佳标题。 Ⅵ.七选五 Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 36 Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills,they’ll help you put people at their ease,and make friends with them quickly. First of all,good talkers ask questions. 37 One wellknown businesswoman says,“At business lunches,I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question,but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 38 Second,once good talkers have asked questions,they listen to the answers. This point seems clear,but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out,you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 39 If someone sticks to one topic,you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words,but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull,then,it’s time for you to change the subject. Finally,good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying goodbye,you may give him a firm handshake and say,“I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 40 Let people know what you feel,and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life. A.Real listening at least means some things. B.You can become a popular person. C.Almost anyone,no matter how shy he is,will answer a question. D.And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. E.If you want to see that person again,don’t keep it a secret. F.It’s polite to listen to others with a smile. G.These people have something in common. 语篇解读 本文属于说明文,讲述的是和别人交往时怎样能够成为一名擅长谈话的人,文中给出了一些可行性建议。 36.答案 G 解析 前两句,有些人在你身边时会让你感到很舒适,跟他们交谈一小时就好像认识了半辈子,G选项(这些人都有共同点)与下文擅长沟通的人具备几个特点相吻合,故选G。 37.答案 C 解析 由上一句“First of all,good talkers ask questions.”可知,擅长沟通的人会问问题,C选项(无论一个人多么内向,都会回答问题),因而沟通就开始了,故选C。 38.答案 D 解析 根据上句:这样你就可以转移到其他话题——有时是一些私人问题。因此下句应该是:并且他们的回答能让你知道能聊到哪种程度,故选D。 39.答案 A 解析 根据下文“Real listening also means not just listening to words,but to tones of voice.”可知,真正的倾听不仅仅是听话语,还要听懂语气,其中本句中的also与A选项切合。 40.答案 E 解析 根据上一句:我真的很高兴与你见面。空格下一句:让人们知道你的感受。因此可知空格填:如果你想再见到那个人,不要害怕说出来。故选E。 Ⅶ.微写作 写作素材 (关于工作) 1.前几年我从事了不同的工作。 2.为了做好工作,我要不断地作出调整。 3.我努力给大家留下好印象。 4.可是我发现难以忍受那些环境, 然后就没有动力干下去了。 5.从现在起,我将调整心态然后乐观地工作和生活。 提示:黑体部分用本单元词汇表达,并且请使用“find+宾语+宾补”等结构。 连句成篇 (将以上句子连成一篇50词左右的英语短文) I took up different jobs in the previous years.
