【课文解析】
Lin Dong is talking to Lu Yao after the history class about Egypt.
Lin Dong: Can you imagine visiting (visit) the Great Pyramids of Egypt on a school day in the future
Lu Yao: It won't be possible (possibly) unless I cut school and fly (fly) to Egypt.
Lin Dong: No, you don't need to. Just put on your AR headset and you are ready to go. With an AR headset, it feels like you're really (real) there!
Lu Yao: Then I will travel to Egypt any (any/some) time I want.
Lin Dong: I think the way people travel will change a lot (a lot /a lot of) in the future.
Lu Yao: I agree. We'll probably (probable) travel much faster (fast) and with more fun.
Lin Dong: If I visit Egypt in the future, I'll circle [ s kl] around the pyramids in a jetpack [ d et p k] like a "rocket man"!
Lu Yao: I hope you don't have a fear of heights!
Read the excerpt([ eks pt]摘录): While visiting the Museum of Natural History, Eric (the narrator讲述者) accidentally sends himself and his friend Sam from the year 1995 into 2095 with a time-travel guide from his uncle. As this excerpt begins, they are running away from a security robot, and Uncle Joe time-travels to the future to help them.
A journey to 2095
The museum doors opened, and we rushed out. The street was full of people floating about one foot above the ground. Buildings towered (tower) into the clouds. Countless (count) cars and lines of people snaked蜿蜒移动around high above us.
教师补充说明：
floating about one foot above the ground 是现在分词结构，修饰前面的名词people，表示他们的动作或状态。在英语中，现在分词单独作定语时，通常放在其所修饰词的前面
on the ground 在现场；above／below ground 在地上／地下
tower over／above sb.／sth.远高于，高耸于（附近的人或物）
“Look! Everyone has a small disk on them,” said Sam. “It must be (may be/must be) the antigravity disk反重力圆盘. People have figured out how to fly!”
教师补充说明：
must be表示推测，意为“一定是；肯定是”
figure out 弄懂；弄明白
“Stop talking! Run!” I shouted, seeing the robot coming (come) our way. Just then, Uncle Joe appeared (appear), along with two girls looking strangely familiar [f m li (r)].
教师补充说明：
sb.be familiar with...某人对…熟悉；sth.be familiar to...某物被…熟悉
“Come with us,” said one girl. She put flying disks on us, and we followed her to a building unbelievably (unbelievable) tall. The door opened at her voice. She put her hand over a shining handprint [ h ndpr nt] on the wall, and in five seconds we were brought (bring) to her home about five miles (mile) above the city.
"You must be hungry. Try some Vitagorp维他坚果 and Unicola尤尼可乐," she said, offering (offer) us something like dried dog food and some pill-like plastic balls.
教师补充说明：
offer sb．sth．意为“给某人提供某物
"Who are you " I asked.
"I'm Erica. This is Sammy. We were named after our great-grandfathers — Eric and Sam."
"You are our great-grandchildren! Unbelievable!" I said.
"We must bring the flying disk technology back to 1995. Then we'd become great inventors (inventor)!" Sam cut in.
教师补充说明：
cut in插嘴
"The antigravity power comes from BHT, a chemical discovered in a breakfast accident," said Sammy.
教师补充说明：
a chemical discovered in a breakfast accident是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰“a chemical”，表示“在一次早餐事故中被发现的化学物质”。过去分词短语作定语可以放在被修饰词之后，对其进行补充说明
"What accident " asked Sam. "And who found out BHT could make things fly (fly) "
"You did," said Sammy. "We can't tell you more. The time-travel guide says anyone travelling through time with too much (much/many) information from another (other/another) time blows up."
教师补充说明：
blow up 爆发；blow sth.up 炸毁某物
"I knew! Don't tell me another word," shouted Sam. "But how can we go back Could you help, Uncle Joe "
"Sure. That's why I'm here," Uncle Joe smiled, holding up his time-travel watch.
"We're saved (save)!" shouted Sam.
(Adapted from The Time Warp Trio 2095 by Jon Scieszka)
（改编自乔恩·谢斯卡的《时间错位三重奏2095》）
It’s fun to imagine what the future might look like. Will it be better, worse or just different What is your opinion
In my opinion, life will be better (good) in the future.
I feel positive [ p z t v] about life in the future for three main reasons (reason). First, robots will help us in many ways. We won’t need to (不需要) clean the house or cook meals because robots will do all the housework. What’s more, scientists will find amazing (amaze) ways to keep us healthy. They will find cures (cure) for diseases such as cancer [ k ns (r)]. The most exciting part is future travel. It is likely (like) that everyone will be able to explore (explore) the deepest oceans or go into space.
In short, I think we will have a more convenient, healthier (healthy) and more colourful life in the future.

In a historic initiative, space agencies from the United States, India, and the European Union have partnered to design modular lunar habitats(模块化月球基地) using3D-printing robots. These robots, equipped with AI and solar-powered lasers, melt lunar soil (regolith(表皮土)) to construct dome-shaped shelters layer by layer. The structures are reinforced(加强) with lightweight, radiation-resistant polymers(聚合物), creating safe living spaces for astronauts. This cooperative project aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon by 2035.
Traditional lunar missions rely on pre-built modules transported from Earth, which is prohibitively expensive and limits mission duration. Transporting one kilogram of material to the Moon costs approximately $1.2 million, and rigid modules cannot adapt to environmental changes. In contrast, 3D-printed habitats reduce launch costs by 90%, use local resources, and allow on-demand(按需的) expansion. Simulations suggest these habitats could withstand micrometeoroid(微流星体) impacts and extreme temperature shifts far better than conventional designs.
A current limitation is the robots’ dependency on sunlight for energy, halting construction during the Moon's 14-day nighttime. Dr. Carlos Rivera, the project's chief engineer, notes that integrating compact nuclear batteries(集成紧凑型核电池) is underway to enable continuous operation. Additionally, regolith's uneven composition sometimes causes structural weaknesses, prompting teams to test hybrid materials like regolith mixed with recycled spacecraft alloys(合金).
If perfected, this collaborative effort could pave the way for Mars colonization and deep-space exploration. Shared knowledge and resources would lower barriers for smaller nations, foster global scientific unity, and accelerate humanity's transition into a multi-planetary species.
1. What two technologies are used by the 3D-printing robots to build lunar shelters
2. How do lunar habitats reduce mission costs compared to traditional methods
3. What percentage of launch costs can 3D-printed habitats save
4. Why does construction stop during the Moon's nighttime
5. What hybrid material is being tested to strengthen the habitats
6. Summarize the process of building a lunar habitat.(不超过30个词)
1. AI and solar-powered lasers.
2. They reduce launch costs, use local resources(regolith) and allow on-demand expansion.
3.90%.
4. Because the robots rely on sunlight for energy.
5. Regolith mixed with recycled spacecraft alloys.
6. Robots melt lunar soil with lasers to build shelters layer by layer, adding radiation-resistant polymers.

IV. Read the passage and complete the tasks.(根据短文内容完成任务。) (第45 至49题,每题2分,第50题6分,共16分)
In a historic initiative, space agencies from the United States, India, and the European Union have partnered to design modular lunar habitats(模块化月球基地) using3D-printing robots. These robots, equipped with AI and solar-powered lasers, melt lunar soil (regolith(表皮土)) to construct dome-shaped shelters layer by layer. The structures are reinforced(加强) with lightweight, radiation-resistant polymers(聚合物), creating safe living spaces for astronauts. This cooperative project aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon by 2035.
Traditional lunar missions rely on pre-built modules transported from Earth, which is prohibitively expensive and limits mission duration. Transporting one kilogram of material to the Moon costs approximately $1.2 million, and rigid modules cannot adapt to environmental changes. In contrast, 3D-printed habitats reduce launch costs by 90%, use local resources, and allow on-demand(按需的) expansion. Simulations suggest these habitats could withstand micrometeoroid(微流星体) impacts and extreme temperature shifts far better than conventional designs.
A current limitation is the robots’ dependency on sunlight for energy, halting construction during the Moon's 14-day nighttime. Dr. Carlos Rivera, the project's chief engineer, notes that integrating compact nuclear batteries(集成紧凑型核电池) is underway to enable continuous operation. Additionally, regolith's uneven composition sometimes causes structural weaknesses, prompting teams to test hybrid materials like regolith mixed with recycled spacecraft alloys(合金).
If perfected, this collaborative effort could pave the way for Mars colonization and deep-space exploration. Shared knowledge and resources would lower barriers for smaller nations, foster global scientific unity, and accelerate humanity's transition into a multi-planetary species.
1. What two technologies are used by the 3D-printing robots to build lunar shelters
2. How do lunar habitats reduce mission costs compared to traditional methods
3. What percentage of launch costs can 3D-printed habitats save
4. Why does construction stop during the Moon's nighttime
5. What hybrid material is being tested to strengthen the habitats
6. Summarize the process of building a lunar habitat.(不超过30个词)
