Tom and Fred are talking about the year 2050.
“What will the world be like in the year 2050?” 1 (ask) Tom.
“I don’t know,” says Fred. “What do you think?”
“Well, no one knows. But it’s very interesting 2 (guess),” says Tom. “In the year 2050, everybody will have a pocket computer. The computer will give people the 3 (answer) to all their problems.
We will all have telephones in 4 (we) pockets too. We will be able to not only talk to, 5 also see our friends all over the world on the phone. Perhaps there will be 6 (town), factories and farms under the sea too.
Machines will do most of the work, so people will have 7 (many) holidays. Robots will take the place of housewives. They will do most housework, 8 washing, cooking and cleaning. We will work only two or three days 9 week. We will be able to fly to the moon by spaceship and spend our holidays there.”
“We are 10 (look) forward to the year 2050. We hope we will fly to the moon,” says Tom.
“Maybe we will be able to live with fish under the sea some day. Won’t that be very interesting? Just like a fish!” says Fred.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

1. asks 考查时态和主谓一致。根据上下文时态可知,此处用一般现在时。根据空格后的 Tom 可知,主语是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。
2. to guess 考查动词不定式。此处是“it's + adj. + to do sth.”结构,形容词后要接动词不定式。
3. answers 考查名词单复数。根据 all their problems 可知,此处说的是他们所有问题的答案,所以名词 answer 需要用复数形式。
4. our 考查代词。此处要用形容词性物主代词 our 来修饰名词 pockets。
5. but 考查固定搭配。“not only ... but also ...”意思是“不但……而且……”。
6. towns 考查名词单复数。结合空格后面的复数名词 factories 和 farms 可知,此处名词 town 需要用复数形式。
7. more 考查限定词。句意:机器将完成大部分的工作,因此人们会有更多的假期。more 意为“更多的”,符合句意。
8. like 考查介词。句意:它们将会做大部分的家务,例如洗衣服、做饭和做清洁工作。根据句意可知,此处需要填介词 like,意思是“例如;像”,用来列举事例。
9. a 考查冠词。句意:我们将一周只工作两到三天。two or three days a week 表示“一周两到三天”。
10. looking 考查时态。“be +现在分词”构成现在进行时,故填 looking。

请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In Chinese, guiju refers to laws and rules. In fact, these two characters, gui and ju, referred to two tools in ancient times. Do you know what they were?
Gui was the tool used to draw circles, like today's compasses(圆规). Ju was used to draw squares, like the try square(直角尺) today.
Gui and ju were useful tools. They helped ancient people draw patterns. Thanks to them, geometry got better. Ju appeared in records of what is known as the Pythagorean theorem(勾股定理). This theorem was one of the most important findings in Maths history.
Ancient Chinese people created the tools very early. Records of the Grand Historian said that Dayu, the man who fought the flood, used gui and ju.
In the brick carving patterns of the Han dynasty, there are such pictures—Fuxi holds ju, while Nvwa holds gui.
1. What did people use gui and ju to do in ancient times?

2. Which tool does Fuxi hold in the ancient brick carving patterns?

3. How do you understand guiju at school?

1. To draw circles and squares. 2. Ju. 3. It's good for our studies.(言之有理即可)

【解析】
1. 定位原文第二段"Gui was the tool used to draw circles... Ju was used to draw squares"，可直接得出古代人们使用规和矩的用途是画圆和正方形。
2. 定位原文最后一段"In the brick carving patterns of the Han dynasty, there are such pictures—Fuxi holds ju"，可直接得到伏羲所持的工具是矩。
3. 结合文章首段提到的"guiju refers to laws and rules"，联系校园场景可知校规校纪能够规范行为、营造良好学习氛围，作答符合逻辑、言之有理即可。
【答案】
1. To draw circles and squares.
2. Ju.
3. It's good for our studies.(言之有理即可)
