Wonderful? Challenging？Or mysterious? Everyone gives different answers.As we are young，we may have dreams of all kinds：to be what you want to be， to stay with the one whom you deeply love，or to devote yourself to the world...These pictures are also in my mind.Now I’d like to share them with you. The first scene is set in my office ： I am struggling together with my teammates.We are programming a new app.Yes，I’m an engineer writing application software.After graduating from university，I’ll be part of Huawei，where my teammates are the best in the world.Maybe at that time， all of you here are using our products，and my application gives you a lot of convenience. The second scene is switched to a park：I am wandering with my family members.We are laughing and chatting all the way.My attention is fixed on my two－year－old daughter.She is wearing a bright smile，asking me，“Daddy，where are we going？” Yes! You see I have a nice family and certainly I’m a responsible husband and father. Now here comes the third scene：I’m standing on the platform(讲台) of a Hope School and giving English lessons to those poor children.I’m a volunteer teacher now.I’m willing to devote all my life to helping them.I believe it is meaningful and worthwhile. Such is my future life after 10 years ： I have a stable( 稳 定 的 ) job which I have deep passion( 热 情 ) for ， a warm family which I can rely on and a volunteering career where I can contribute myself to the society. 词海拾贝 1.devote...to...　　 把……投身到…… 2.be fixed on 专注于 3.be willing to do 乐意做某事 4.meaningful adj. 有意义的 5.worthwhile adj. 值得的 6.rely on 依靠 Part Ⅰ　Warming Up & Reading　 Ⅰ.重点单词 1.aspect n.方面；层面

原文呈现 FIRST IMPRESSIONS① Spacemail：liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com 15/11/3008(Earthtime) Dear Mum and Dad， I still cannot believe that I am taking up② this prize that I won last year.I have to remind myself constantly③ that I am really in AD 3008.Worried about the journey，I was unsettled④ for the first few days.As a result，I suffered from ⑤ “time lag”.This is similar to ⑥ the “jet lag⑦” you get from flying ， but it seems you keep getting flashbacks⑧ from your previous⑨ time period.So I was very nervous and uncertain⑩ at first.However，my friend and guide⑪，Wang Ping， was very understanding and gave me some green tablets ⑫ which helped a lot.Well－known for their expertise⑬，his parents’ company，called “Future Tours”，transported me safely into the future in a time capsule⑭. I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess⑮ called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening⑯.The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink，we felt sleepy and closed our eyes.The capsule began swinging gently sideways ⑰ as we lay relaxed and dreaming.A few minutes later，the journey was completed and we had arrived.I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future.What would I find? At first my new surroundings⑱ were difficult to tolerate⑲.The air seemed thin，as though its combination⑳ of gases had little oxygen left.Hit by a lack○21 of fresh air，my head ached○22 .Just as I tried to make the necessary adjustment○23 to this new situation，Wang Ping appeared.“Put on this mask○24 ， ” he advised.“It’ll make you feel much better.” He handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for a rest.I felt better in no time○25 .Soon I was back on my feet○26 again and following○27 him to collect a hovering○28 carriage○29 driven by computer.These carriages float above the ground and by bending○30 or pressing○31 down in your seat，you can move swiftly○32 .Wang Ping fastened○33 my safety belt○34 and showed me how to use it.Soon I could fly as fast as him.However，I lost sight of ○35 Wang Ping when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriages flying by in all directions.He was swept up○36 into the centre of them.Just at that moment I had a “time lag”flashback and saw the area again as it had been in the year AD 2008.I realized that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown！Then I caught sight of○37 Wang Ping again and flew after him. Arriving at a strange－looking house，he showed me into a large，bright clean room.It had a green wall，a brown floor and soft lighting.Suddenly the wall moved—it was made of trees！I found later that their leaves provided the room with○38 much－needed oxygen.Then Wang Ping flashed○39 a switch○40 on a computer screen，and a table and some chairs rose from under the floor as if by magic.“Why not sit down and eat a little？” he said.“You may find this difficult as it is your first time travel trip.Just relax ， since there is nothing planned on the timetable○41 today. Tomorrow you’ll be ready for some visits.” Having said this，he spread some food on the table， and produced a bed from the floor.After he left，I had a brief meal and a hot bath.Exhausted○42 ，I slid into○43 bed and fell fast asleep. More news later from your loving son. Li Qiang, 课文译文 第一印象 太空邮箱：liqiang299A@ Great－AdventureSpaceStation.com 15/11/3008(地球时间) 亲爱的爸爸妈妈： 我还是无法相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入 公元 3008 年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天我心里总是不踏实，结果我得了“时间滞后症”。 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。因此，我一开始非常焦虑和心神不定。然而，我的朋友兼导游王平很善解人意，给 了我几粒绿色药片，倒是起了很大的作用。他父母的公司叫作“未来之旅”，因其专业技术而 闻名。他们用一个时间舱平安地把我送到了未来。 我仍然记得这个时刻：我们所有人被太空女乘务员叫到时间舱，通过一个小口爬了进去。 座位很舒适，喝了杯镇静饮料以后，我们感到昏昏欲睡，然后闭上了眼睛。当我们放松地躺 在那里做梦时，时间舱开始向一侧轻轻地摇晃。几分钟以后，旅行结束，我们到了。我仍然 在地球上，但是到了一千年以后的未来。我会发现什么呢？ 开始的时候，新的环境让我难以忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像混合气体中剩下的氧气很 少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我尽力去适应新环境时，王平出现了。他建议道： “把这个面罩戴上，它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给我，并立刻催促我去旁边的一个小 房间休息。我立刻感到舒服些了。很快，我就完全恢复了，跟着他去领取了一辆由电脑驱动 的气垫车。这些气垫车是在地面上方飘浮着的，只要在座位上把操纵杆打弯或压下，你就可 以迅速地移动。王平给我系好安全带，并向我展示了怎样使用它。不一会儿我就可以飞得和 王平一样快了。然而，当我们到达一个看上去像是个大市场的地方时，由于太多气垫车朝四 面八方飞奔，我看不见王平了。他被卷入这群车队中去了。就在那个时刻我经历了一次“时 间滞后”的闪回，我再次看到了公元 2008 年的那个地区。我意识到(虽然)我已被送到了未来， 但仍然在自己的家乡！然后我又看到了王平，(于是)跟在他后面飞。 到达一幢看上去很奇怪的房子后，他把我带到一个明亮、洁净的大房间里。墙是绿色的， 地板是棕色的，灯光是柔和的。突然墙移动了——墙是由树做成的！后来我发现，这些树的 叶子为这个房间提供非常需要的氧气。然后王平在电脑荧屏上的开关闪了一下，于是一张桌 子和几把椅子就像变魔术般地从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃点儿东西呢？”他说 道，“因为这是你的第一次时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。放松一点，因为今天的时间表上 没有计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完，他把一些食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下 弄出一张床来。他离开之后，我简单地吃了点儿饭，洗 了个热水澡。我感到累极了，爬上床 很快就睡着了。 爱你们的儿子以后再告诉你们更多的消息。 李强 Ⅰ.Choose the best answers according to the text. 1.The passage is mainly about ________.

We can only try to imagine it. At first we think about human relationships. 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 other 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 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. 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 solar－powered cars，which will be much environmentally friendly. We could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t 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 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】　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。 1.

The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time，and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said ， “She is four minutes slow—regulator ( 调 节 器 ) wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him—tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no；he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed. My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open，and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling， besides regulating .After this，my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner. At last，I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth，I had no idea what the kingbolt was. He repaired it，but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile，and so on. So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance ( 熟 人 )—a steamboat engineer of other days，and not a good engineer，either. “She makes too much steam and ...” he said. I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away. My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen，and shoemakers，and engineers，and blacksmiths；but nobody could ever tell him. 【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。作者在文中主要描述了自己走时精准的表是如何一步步被修 理到成为废物的故事。 5. What did the author say about the jeweler? A. He made a mistake. B. He had a quick mind. C. He had a hearing problem. D. He was a quiet repairman. 答案　A　[推理判断题。根据首段中的 regulator wants pushing up 和 I tried to stop him—tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time 可知，作者认为他的表没有问题，然而 钟表商却执意要将调节器拨快。因此，钟表商错误地把表修理得越走越快。] 6.After being cleaned，oiled and regulated，the author’s watch________. A. kept perfect time B. gained faster and faster C. was unbelievably slow D. ran awhile and stopped awhile 答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的 After this，my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree 可知，作者的表在这次修理后，越走越慢，最后慢到让人忍无可忍的地步。] 7. Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head? A. He was a liar. B. He was talking nonsense. C. He treated the watch cruelly. D. He was an old enemy of the author. 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据作者在第四段对钟表匠的描述 a steamboat engineer of other days， and not a good engineer 以及接下来钟表匠说的 She makes too much steam 可知，作者认为这个 钟表匠纯粹在胡说八道，因此才动手打人。] 8. What did the author learn from his experience? A. Never get a watch repaired. B. He should listen to his uncle. C. Repair work was not an easy job. D. Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life. 答案　A　[推理判断题。根据文章首段作者对自己心爱的表的描述 My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining，再结合文中介绍的四次修表经历以及末段中 的 My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it 可知，作者从自己的修表经历中认识到一点，那就是：千万不要去修 表。] Ⅴ.七选五 Rujuta Teredesai grew up in Pune ， a city in India. She saw that girls and boys in her community( 社 区 ) were not treated equally. Girls were responsible for all the household work.__1__ Women didn’t have the same rights as men. They often suffered from mistreatment and sometimes even physical violence. __2__But she saw that organizations working to end gender discrimination (性别歧视)usually paid attention only to the actions and attitudes of girls. “Nobody talked to young boys about equality，”she said.__3__ The organization，Equal Community Foundation (ECF)，now reaches 40，000 people in 20 communities in Pune. ECF matches small groups of boys，ages 14 to 17，with male mentors (指导者) for a 15－ week period. The mentors talk to the boys about treating girls with respect ( 尊重).__4__ They discuss times when the boys experienced unfair treatment. Then they work with the boys to come up with ways the boys can help spread tolerance (宽容).Boys have completed projects like making maps of the safest routes for girls to walk at night. “What we have found is that these boys don’t mean to be discriminatory，” Teredesai says. “They don’t mean to hurt someone.__5__ ” When boys work to make girls’ lives better ， everyone in the community wins. A. They help boys relate to girls’ experiences. B. It’s part of the solution to end discrimination. C. It’s just that they don’t realize they’re doing it. D. Many families didn’t send their daughters to school. E. Unfair treatment of girls and women is a problem in India. F. Teredesai wanted to make a difference for girls and women. G. So she decided to create a space for boys to learn about girls’ rights. 【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。印度一名女孩从年轻的男性着手，帮助社会改变对女性的歧 视。 1.D　[D 项内容是上文 girls and boys in her community were not treated equally 的举例说明之 一，并与该空前后的内容构成并列。] 2.F　[根据上文印度女孩 Rujuta 目睹自己所在社区男女的不平等以及下文成立的组织可知， 她决定要改变女性这种不平等的处境。 ] 3.G　[根据上文中的 Nobody talked to young boys about equality 以及下文 Rujuta 给年轻男性 传输男女平等的思想可知，她决定让男孩子们学习了解女性的权利。] 4.A　[该空后一句 They discuss times when the boys experienced unfair treatment 是对 A 项内容 中 help boys relate to girls’ experiences 的具体解释说明。] 5.C　[根据该空前一句 They don’t mean to hurt someone 可知，这些男孩并没意识到他们的行 为给女性带来的伤害。] Part Ⅱ　Grammar——过去分词作状语 [思维导图]　 一、过去分词作状语的类型 过去分词作状语，可以表示时间、让步、条件、原因、方式等，相当于一个状语从句。其逻 辑主语为主句的主语，且与主句主语构成逻辑上的被动关系。 1.作时间状语 相当于时间状语从句。可在过去分词前加上连词“when，while，until”等，使其时间意义更 明确。 Seen from the top of the hill，the town looks more beautiful. ＝When the town is seen from the top of the hill，it looks more beautiful. ＝When seen from the top of the hill，the town looks more beautiful. 从山顶往下看，这座城镇看起来更加漂亮。 When asked for his views about his teaching job，he said he found it very interesting and rewarding. 当问到对教学工作的观点时，他说他觉得既有趣又有意义。 2.作原因状语 相当于原因状语从句。 Satisfied with what I did，my teacher praised me in class. ＝Because my teacher was satisfied with what I did，he praised me in class. 由于对我所做的事情感到满意，老师在班上表扬了我。 3.作条件状语 相当于条件状语从句。可加连词 if，unless 等转换成条件状语从句。 Grown in rich soil，these seeds can grow fast. ＝If they are grown in rich soil，these seeds can grow fast. 如果种在肥沃的土壤里，这些种子就能长得快。 4.作让步状语 相当于让步状语从句。有时可加 although，though，even if，even though，whether...or 等连词 转换成让步状语从句。 Wounded，the brave soldiers continued to fight to search for the trapped in the ruins. ＝ Though (they were) wounded，the brave soldiers continued to fight to search for the trapped in the ruins. 虽然受伤了，但是勇敢的战士们仍然继续作战，寻找被困在废墟中的人们。 5.作方式或伴随状语 相当于 and 连接的并列结构。 She accepted the gift，deeply moved. ＝ She accepted the gift，and she was deeply moved. 她接受了礼物，深深地被感动了。 [名师指津]　值得注意的是，有些过去分词及短语因来源于系表结构，作状语时不强调被动 而重在描述主语的状态。这样的过去分词及短语常见的有：lost (迷路)；seated (坐)；hidden (躲)； lost/absorbed in (沉溺于)；dressed in (穿着)；tired of (厌烦)。 Lost in thought，he didn’t hear the bell. 由于陷入沉思之中，他没有听到铃声。 二、过去分词作状语时在句中的位置 过去分词作条件、原因及时间状语时，通常放在句首；作伴随状语时，通常放在句末；作方 式状语时，一般放在句末，有时也放在句首；作让步状语时，一般放在句首，有时也放在句 末。 Given another hour，I can also work out this problem. 再给我一个小时，我也能解出这道题。 The old man walked into the room，supported by his son.老人在儿子的搀扶下走进了房间。 三、过去分词与现在分词作状语的区别 过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，即表被动；现在分词与句子的主语之间 存在逻辑上的主谓关系，即表主动。 Used for a long time，the book looks old. 这本书由于用了很长时间，看起来有点旧。 Using the book，I find it useful. 用了这本书，我发现它很有用。 [巧学助记]　分词作状语记忆口诀 分词作状语，主语是问题。前后两动作，共用一主语。 主语找出后，再来判关系。主动用－ing，被动用－ed。 [名师指津]　无论是现在分词还是过去分词，其逻辑主语必须和句子的主语一致。如果不一 致，则必须用状语从句、独立主格结构等其他表达形式。 If caught，the police will punish the thief.(×) If caught，the thief will be punished by the police.(√) If the thief is caught，the police will punish the thief.(√) Ⅰ.用所给词的适当形式填空 1.Trapped(trap) by strong winds and deep snow，Andy did nothing but wait. 2.If given (give) more care and attention，the boy would not have gone that far on the wrong path， I’m sure. 3.Finding (find) the course very difficult，she decided to move to a lower level. 4.Time，used (use) correctly，is money in the bank. 5.Settled (settle) in a friendly way，their fierce quarrel finally came to an end. 6.“Can’t you read？It’s a non－smoking section.” I said angrily __pointing (point) to the notice. 7.Compared (compare) with the size of the whole earth，the highest mountain does not seem high at all. 8.Being (be) poor at English，I’m afraid I can’t make myself understood. 9.Reminded (remind) not to drive after drinking，some drivers are still trying their luck. 10.Lost (lose) in thought，he almost ran into the car in front of him. Ⅱ.句型转换 1.When he was asked about his family，he made no answer. →When asked about his family，he made no answer. 2.Seriously injured，he had to be taken to the hospital. →Because he was seriously injured，he had to be taken to the hospital. 3.Though he was wounded，the brave soldier continued to fight. →Wounded，the brave soldier continued to fight. 4.Even if I’m invited，I won’t take part in the party. →Even if invited，I won’t take part in the party. 5.Heated to a high temperature，water will change into vapor. →If the water is heated to a high temperature，it will change into vapor.

G：Good morning to all our visitors from 2008.First we’re going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens⑥.No more typists⑦ working on a typewriter⑧ or computer ！ No more postage ⑨ or postcodes ⑩ ！ Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”.You place the metal band over your head ， clear your mind ， press the sending button⑪，think your message and the next instant⑫ it’s sent.It’s stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver⑬.It’s quick，efficient⑭ and environmentally friendly⑮.The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly，an unclear message may be sent.But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user，can we?

G：Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices.Manufacturing○26 no longer takes place on the earth but on space stations like this one.A group of engineers programme ○27 robots to perform tasks in space.The robots produce goods○28 such as drugs，clothes， furniture，hovering carriages，etc○29.There is no waste，no pollution and no environmental damage！However，the companies have to train their representatives○30 to live and work in space settlements ○ 31.They have to monitor ○ 32 the robots and the production.When the goods are ready they’re transported by industrial spaceship back to earth. My mind began to wander○33.What job would I do？My motivation○34 increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future. 课文译文 我看到了奇妙的东西 我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。太空站被描述成一个 巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓地旋转，以模仿地心的引力。太空站里展出了 31 世纪最前沿的发 明。有个导游带领我们沿着一条可移动的运送带到各处参观。 导游：从 2008 年来访的朋友们，早上好！首先，我们要查看我们太空居民使用的最新的通讯 方式中的一种。再也不需要打字员在打字机或电脑上工作了！再也不需要邮费和邮政编码 了！现在我们可以通过一种“思想仪”来发送信息。你把金属带放在头上，整理思路，按下 发送按钮，想着你要发送的信息，刹那间信息就发出去了。它被存储在接受者的“思想仪” 里。它快捷、有效，而且环保。唯一的不足之处是，如果使用者没有想清楚要发送的信息， 发送出去的信息就可能是模糊的。但我们不能将使用者的过错归咎于工具，是吗？ 在导游解说之际，我看了看桌子上这副被称为“思想仪”的小东西。它们看上去就像金属丝 带。如此普通却又如此神通广大！当我还在观察它们时，运送带又载着我们向前移动了。 导游：女士们，先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。人们过去常用垃圾箱收集废弃物，然后 垃圾会被送去掩埋或焚烧，对不对？(我们点点头。)那么，现在有一种系统，能利用生态学 原理来处理废弃物。一台巨型机器，始终贪婪地张着大嘴，把所有得到的垃圾(一口)吞了下 去。垃圾被转化成几种按等级归类的有用的材料，如用于田地的“肥料”和用于沙漠的“土 壤”。什么都不浪费，所有的东西，即使是塑料袋也被回收利用了。绝妙的主意，不是吗？ 我注视着这台转动着的垃圾分解机器模型，被它的效率吸引。但是，我们又开始向前移动了。 导游：第三站要展示给我们的是发生在生产实践中的变化。批量生产不再在地球上进行，而 是转移到了这样的太空站里。一组工程师给机器人设计了程序让它们在太空中执行任务。机 器人生产像药品、衣服、家具和气垫车之类的商品。没有废弃物，没有污染，也没有对环境 的危害！但是，这些公司必须训练他们的代表来太空定居地生活和工作。他们必须监视机器 人及其生产。货物生产出来之后，就被工业宇宙飞船运回地球。 我的思绪开始漫游。我能做什么工作呢？当我想到未来的美好世界时，我兴趣倍增。 Ⅰ.Answer the following questions according to the text. 1.What did the writer see on the space station?

Most of it will miss our planet，but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth. On 17 July，a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed，but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water，a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. Before the waves reach South America ， the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，and temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined.The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later，no more than 10 million people remain alive. Could it really happen? In fact，it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then about 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end? 【语篇解读】　文章主要描述了 2094 年如果一颗彗星的碎片撞向地球，人类可能面临终结。 1. What is mainly described in the passage? A.A historical discovery. B.An event of imagination. C.A research on space.
