I predict that the world will be much cleaner and greener in 20 years. First, cars running on traditional fuels will be replaced by those powered by new energies, such as electricity or solar energy. As a result, the effect of greenhouse gases on the climate will be significantly reduced. Second, almost all reading and writing will be done on computer and phone screens, so people will cut down fewer trees and use less paper. Third, new technologies will be invented to make sure that our daily activities do not have a negative impact on the environment.

Activity 3
Analysis and imitation of complex sentences
长难句分析和仿写
【句式分析】句子的正常语序是：“James Smith …, Vincent Brown …, and Julie Archer … are joining us in the studio tonight.”，主语部分非常长，而谓语部分相对较短。为了强调并平衡句子结构，将谓语的一部分(are joining中的joining)提到主语前面，形成了倒装，谓语部分的现在分词或过去分词置于句首，从而构成全部倒装，常常称作“主谓倒装”或“完全倒装”。
【即学即练】仿写
①和我们一起保护海洋的是一些青年学生。
________________________________________________
②一个古老的村庄被埋在了这沙地里。
