Unit 3 Tomorrows world Life in the FuturePeople know life will be very different in the future.But nobody knows what the future will be like exactly.Different people have different opinions of future life.Some of them believe that future life will be wonderful, while some others have the opposite opinions.I think that one of the positive opinions of future life is that many diseases will be dealt with, so people wont die easily.In my opinion, all jobs will be much easier and better paid.Maybe many people will be able to work on their computers at home.Also, the environment will be less polluted than it is today thanks to technology, such as solar power.People will be able to use solar power to drive cars.In addition, computers will be able to help us manage our houses, which means that everything in our houses will be controlled by the computers.The way we live will change a lot.It seems that in the future we will be able to get along with friends without even leaving our homes.Education will probably also change at all.Robots will teach them instead of real teachers.In conclusion, whatever the development of technology will bring to us, our life in the future will be very different.We are sure to have something new.1.opposite adj.相反的，对立的2.solar power 太阳能3.in conclusion 总之Read the passage and answer the following questions.1.Do all people think the future will be wonderful?No，not really.2.What does the author think all the jobs in the future will be like?All the jobs in the future will be much easier and better paid.3.What will teach instead of real teachers in the future?Robots.Period OneWelcome to the unit & Reading.单词自测1.virtual adj.(通过计算机软件)虚拟的，模拟的；很接近的，实际上的2.reality n.现实，事实real adj.真实的really adv.真正地3.presentation n.展示，介绍；颁发；提交，出示present v.出席，赠送；adj.在场的4.amaze vt.使惊奇，使惊诧amazed adj.惊奇的amazing adj.令人惊奇的amazement n.惊奇5.passive adj.被动的active adj.积极的，活跃的6.user n.使用者use vt.使用useful adj.有用的7.happiness n.幸福，快乐happy adj.高兴的，幸福的8.social adj.社交的，交际的；社会的society n.社会 9.winning adj.制胜的；获胜的win vt.获胜，赢得10.confident adj.自信的；肯定的，有把握的confidence n.信任11.disappointed adj.失望的；沮丧的disappointing adj.令人失望的12.disabled adj.有残疾的；丧失能力的disable vt.使伤残disability n.残疾；无能13.convenience n.方便，便利；便利的设施或用具convenient adj.方便的14.secure adj.安全的；有把握的；稳固的，坚固的；vt.获得；使安全15.injure vt.伤害，损害injured adj.受伤的16.neighbourhood n.街区；邻近的地方neighbour n.邻居17.operator n.操作人员18.disadvantage n.缺点；不利因素，障碍advantage n.优点；有利因素.短语自测1.come true 实现，成为现实2.add to 使增强，使增加，使扩大3.give out 用完，耗尽；分发，散发；发出，放出(热、光等)4.put forward 提出，提议5.in reality实际上，事实上6.carry out履行，实施；执行，落实；完成(任务)7.in the long term从长远来看8.compared with/to与相比9.as to 至于，关于.根据课文内容选择正确答案1.This presentation has given us all the information about RealCine EXCEPT .A.how it worksB.who should use itC.why it is better than a filmD.how it can be used in other ways答案B2.The RealCine is better than a film because .A.the users can watch and hear what is happening on a screenB.the users are put into the action and are connected in an active wayC.the users can climb Mount QomolangmaD.the users can go sightseeing in the Himalayas答案B3.We can know from Paragraph 3 that .A.specially VR headsets are designed to allow the users to see and hearB.the users will enjoy a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievementC.the users dont need to wear special gloves to touch the people and objectsD.RealCine makes the users feel that they are still in the real world答案A4.The example of firefighters is used in Paragraph 6 to prove that .A.VR can be used to treat people who have social problemsB.VR can be used to help people take a trip to AfricaC.VR can be used to practise skills in a secure environmentD.VR can be used in class答案C.阅读课文完成下表，每空一词RealCinevirtual reality for everyoneWhy it is better than a filmRealCine puts the users into action and connects with the users four senses 1.actively.With VR，it is possible for us to do things that could never be 2.achieved in real life.How RealCine 3.worksBy making the users feel that they are really in a new world.

to a computer network in the VR studio.难句分析Unlike a film，where a passive audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen，RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight，hearing，smell and touch in an active way.句式分析：句中where引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词film。由于句中film并非指具体的某一部电影，而是指一个抽象的地点，因此这里只能用关系副词where，而不能用关系代词which。该定语从句中，谓语watches and hears后接一个由what引导的宾语从句。自主翻译：电影仅仅让观众被动地看和听屏幕上发生的事，而RealCine与电影不同，它让你参与到剧情活动中，以一种主动的方式与你的视觉、听觉、嗅觉和触觉联系起来。1.confident语境感悟(1)(教材P43)This encouraged him to become more confident around

that.据报道It is required that.规定It is thought that.人们认为注意：“It is said/believed/reported/thoughtthat从句”可转化为“原主语从句的主语be过去分词不定式”的句式结构，此时不定式可以根据所在句子的语境采用一般式、进行式或完成式。即：Sb.is said/believed/reported to do/to

week.他送信来告诉我们说，下周他不来了。归纳拓展教材原句中，that引导的是同位语从句，进一步解释说明argument的具体内容。为了避免句子的“头重脚轻”，故把that从句放在后面，构成分隔式同位语从句。常见的后跟同位语从句的名词有conclusion，doubt，information，news，opinion，order，possibility，problem，promise，question，report，suggestion，truth，theory，thought，wish，word等。易混辨析同位语从句与定语从句的区别同位语从句与定语从句形相似而实质不同，主要表现在以下几个方面：(1)被修饰的词不同。同位语从句的前面一般是数量有限的、表示抽象意义的名词；而定语从句的先行词是指人或物的名词。(2)从句的作用不同。同位语从句表示同位名词的具体内容；而定语从句是对先行词名词的限制、描绘或说明。(3)引导词的作用不同。引导同位语从句的that是连词，在从句中不承担任何成分，但不能省略；而引导定语从句的that为关系代词，在从句中承担句子的某种成分，当承担定语从句中的宾语时，that可以省略。即时跟踪(1)写出下列句子是定语从句还是同位语从句The suggestion that the new rule be adopted came from the chairman.同位语从句This is the plane that will fly to Tokyo in the afternoon.定语从句The news got about that he had won a car in the lottery(彩票).同位语从句(2)We all breathed a sigh of relief when the news came no one was injured in the accident.A.why B.that C.whether D.which答案B解析句意为：当事故中没有人受伤的消息传来的时候，我们都松了一口气。这里是同位语从句，说明news的内容，“no one was injured in the accident”是一个完整的句子，所以用that连接同位语从句。.单词拼写1.The house looks very old，but in reality(事实) its quite new.2.Tom played a passive(被动的) role in his marriage.3.Lets enjoy the happiness we had at the moment.4.Every one should feel confident of succeeding in learning English.5.I keep my reference books near my desk for convenience(便利).选词填空1.The gas gave out an unpleasant smell.2.I enjoy swimming.But as to my brother，he enjoys playing football.3.The heavy rain added to the difficulty in saving the buried people.4.Compared with his handwriting，my handwriting is much worse.5.She put forward a good plan which shocked all the people present.完成句子1.On/Upon hearing they were not coming，we felt disappointed.听到他们不来了，我们感到很失望。2.Ive got a feeling that one day hell be famous.我有种感觉，总有一天他会成名的。3.Who do you think helped me hand in my homework?你认为是谁帮我交了作业？4.Not only is this young man clever but he is hard working.这个年轻人不仅聪明而且勤劳。5.It is reported that she is one of the best teachers in the school.据报道，她是这个学校最好的老师之一。.单项填空1.The manager put forward a suggestion we should have an assistant.There is too much work to do.(2016天津，11)A.whether B.that C.which D.what答案B解析考查同位语从句。句意为：经理提了个建议我们应雇个助手。要做的工作太多了。分析句子结构可知，空格后的同位语从句用来解释说明suggestion的具体内容，从句中不缺成分且意义完整，故选B项。2.The bomb exploded the police officer started his car.A.soon B.directly C.presently D.shortly答案B解析句意为：警察刚一启动车，炸弹就爆炸了。四个选项中只有B项可以用作时间状语从句的引导词，directly相当于as soon as(一就)。3.Im going to advantage of this tour to explore the history of the castle.(2016天津，12)A.put B.make C.take D.give答案C解析句意为：我打算利用这次观光机会来探索这座城堡的历史。take advantage of是固定搭配，意为“利用”，符合语境，故选C项。4.Thats all I have to say.Is there anything youd like to ，John?A.talk B.require C.add D.deliver答案C解析句意为：我要说的就是这些，约翰你还有什么要补充的吗？talk谈论；require需要；add添加；deliver递送。由句意知选C。5.He is one of my previous students and always comes to see me whenever .A.he is convenientB.he will be convenientC.it is convenient to himD.it will be convenient to him答案C解析句意为：他是我以前的一个学生
