A
Life in the future will be different from the life today.Between then and now
many changes will happen.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.

B
Some people are pessimistic(悲观的) when they think about the future.They say
that，a hundred years from now，we will have used most of the earth's resources.We
will have polluted our seas badly，and be unable to eat fish from them.We will have
made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks.The world's population will
have doubled，and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no
farmland left.
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 travelling?
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.

transport.Electric cars will be travelling 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.

Ⅱ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Some experts argue the fact that almost one in four teens is constantly online is a
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂dangerous thing, yet I believe that it's an opportunity.Technology brings us closer
together and can help us in everyday life rather than replacing friends with screens.
First ， I believe that technology takes the embarrassment out of facetoface
contact, as talking to someone may make you uncomfortable.You could not say what
is on your mind.A much simpler way of communicating is through texts.By texting a
person, there is no resistance(抵抗) to what you are trying to say.You are able to
revise your words before you send them, hopefully not saying something you will
later regret or that could hurt someone's feelings.Apart from making friends face to
face, there are other ways of interaction using technology.Technology can help bond
people together by showing similar interests.
Second, technology can help friends and family keep in touch.When moments
together are not within reach, the next best thing is to use technology to catch up on
each other's life and share precious moments through videos and calls.The ability to
play back a memory on a screen is amazing, something that can be cherished and kept
forever.
Some may argue technology is the problem in the world, but I do not.I believe
that technology helps you escape the evil and pressure in the world and has the ability
to let you create your own world where what others say or think doesn't matter.After a
stressful time, technology is there to help you communicate and remind you what you
should be grateful for, or just make your day a little better.
In conclusion, I believe that not only is technology not replacing friends with
screens but it's actually bringing us closer together and establishing relationships
among teens.Overall, I believe this topic makes the world a better place by making it
easier to create friends, and make otherwise lost friends keep in touch.
【参考范文】
Despite some people's worry about technology, I consider it a chance, enhancing
relationships and contributing to daily life.(要点 1) Technology protects people from
the embarrassment they may experience in facetoface communication and enables
them to socialize, share great life moments and save valuable memories.(要点 2) It
helps people avoid pressure and bad things, improves their communication skills and
reminds them to be grateful.(要点 3) In short, technology can promote people's
relationship and enrich their life instead of ruining friendships.(要点4)
