Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary—ComprehendingⅠ阅读理解AThe home of the future won’t be completely different andwe will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. Butpeople will want to shape their homes to match their dreams.No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “housekits”containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.Many jobs that we do today will disappear. Others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more at home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, and then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e­paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E­newspapers and e­magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and new articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes. We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stayon the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet, there won’t be any other choice.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了未来人类的生活情景。

You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology，or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Let's lookat some predictions from the not­too­distant past.Robot HelpersWhere's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere，of course. And he's probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's homes.So why hasn't it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of TomorrowIn 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet.Why? The technology wor ked fine, but it over­looked something obvious：people's desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not—it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn't always mean people will want to use it.And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It's not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.1．The whole passage is mainly about ________.A. predictions that have come trueB. predictions that haven't come trueC. why predictions don't come true easilyD. what technology will bring about答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。

Module 1 Life in the Future Section Ⅰ Introduction &Reading-Pre-readingLet us suppose it is now about A．D. 2100. Let's make believe(假装，假扮) it is about eighty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic (风景优美的) spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air­conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable (可以想象的) is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power (核能). They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2100.

Module 1 Life in the Future 知识总结People have predicted that in the future people will mostly use electric cars instead of cars powered by petrol.One reason is that people are becoming more and more concerned about pollution from petrol powered cars.Another reason is that natural resources are becoming scarce.Now,electric bikes have become a common sight in the streets of some cities.But,it is reported that in some cities,electric bikes are forbidden to go on the streets.Some specialists say that electric bikes are a great danger because they often go on the lanes(车道) intended for motor vehicles(机动车)but they go not fast enough.If they go on the lanes intended for bikes,they go too fast.But some people say that the city government shouldn’t do like that.They say that by going on electric bikes instead of cars they can save a lot of petrol and also they are protecting the environment in this way.What do you think about forbidding electric bikes to go on the streets?Some riders:electric bikes shouldn’t be forbidden because we can save natural resources and protect the environment by using them.Some specialists:electric bikes should be forbidden because they can’t go fast enough on the lanes compared with motor cars and can go too fast compared with bikes,it is dangerous.Some handicappeds:electric bikes shouldn’t be forbidden because we can’t ride bicycles,they help us in our journey.Myview:_________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________.On the wedding ceremony,the bride and bridegroom were so busy that they didn’t have enough time to talk with me.I felt a bit sad.Even worse,the rest seven guests at my table all kept silent and nobody once stood up to propose a toast.That wedding was really a drag for me,I thought.After the meal,I went back home.As soon as I got home,I heard my phone ringing.It was the bridegroom.He said he was so sorry the he didn’t drink with me.I said it didn’t matter,but he insisted that he would treat me sometime in the future.Of course,I was glad to hear that and said,“OK,when you have time,just give me a ring.〞Here are three situations:S1.Nowadays,a lot of people have their mobile phones.So when they meet,they exchange their phone numbers.And when they leave,what do they usually say to each other?S2.You were so glad to attend a party,but finally you found people there were not hospitable.Then how would you think of the party?S3.We have many ways to communicate with others like surface letters,Emails.What other ways do we have?【任务导入】Suppose you are the host and you have too many guests to treat,how can you make all the guests feel that they are not neglected(无视)?If you find you neglect your guests,what will you do?Make up a play with your classmates and try to find the best way to solve the problem.____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________.【话题链接】Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet,but what is it?The Internet is a network.When you’re joined to the Internet,there are lots of things you can do.You can send e-mails to your friends without any money,and they can get them in a few seconds without any money.You can also do with all kinds of information〔信息〕on the World Wide Web(www).There are many different kinds of computers now.They all can be joined to the Internet.Most of them are small machines〔机器〕sitting on people’s desks at home,but there are still many others in school offices or large companies(公司).There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet.For example,your school may have the internet.You can use it during lessons or free time.Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet.You are welcome to use it at that place. Thanks to the Internet,the world is becoming smaller and smaller.It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front,getting and sending the information you need.You can buy or sell whatever〔任何〕you want by the Internet.But do you know 98% of the information of the Internet is in English?So what will English be like tomorrow?【想一想】The internet is very useful,we should make use of it as much as possible.Which parts of the knowledge are you interested in?In order to learn more from the Internet,what should we do?________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________。

Module 1 Life in the Future【美文阅读】随着科学技术的迅猛发展，我们的生活发生了日新月异的变化，再过五十年我们的生活将会是什么样子的呢？Life in 2060Let us suppose it is now about A．D.2060.Let's make believe(假装；虚构)it is about fifty years from now.Of course，things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built.The hotels are air­conditioned，naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐)of young and old.What are people eating now？People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承)supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now comein pill form，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago，most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.Farming，of course，is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者)．You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animals decreases.Therefore，the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain，and it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.【诱思导学】1．Where will people go travelling in 2060 according to the passage?2．What will people eat in 2060 according to the passage?【答案】 1.People will go travelling to the moon in 2060.2．They will eat foods in pill form.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。
