In 2045,the kids think,humans will be able to live on Mars.They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a"rest"."And when we come back,we must try not to pollute as much,"says Stark. But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation(居住).The kids agree that immediate action must be taken to clean up the Earth."It's time to fix it now,"says Sorensen."It's not going to fix itself." The kids do not just care about progress in space exploration.They are also interested in the future jobs. Stark hopes to compose(创作)music for TV shows one day.Abdi wants to be a business owncr.Sorensen dreams about becoming a lawyer.Polley wants to be a scientist. "I don't think there will be a lot of fast﹣food jobs,"said Abdi.She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive."People will have to look for higher﹣paying jobs."" Many jobs,the kids predict(预测),will be replaced by robots."There'll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything,"says Stark.But they believe the power to shape the future is in human hands.The world will be a better place,but of course,"we need to work hard,and we all need to learn to be kind to others." (1)In the kids'opinion,where will humans be able to live in 2045? (2)What is Sorensen's idea about the Earth? (3)Why does Stark say there will be no more factory jobs? (4)What do you think the world will look like in 2045?Write 30 words or more. 2.(2025 清城区一模)A talk between Shenzhou﹣ 14 astronauts and ASEAN teenagers started on November 1,2022.The main talk place was in Beijing.The Shenzhou﹣ 14 astronauts are Liu Yang,Chen Dong and Cai Xuzhe.The talk interested nearly 1,000 teenagers from China and ASEAN member states.They talked with each other on the Internet. Some students were interested in the three astronauts' life in the space station.The astronaut answered their questions patiently.There is no gravity(重力)in space,so things are not as heavy as they are on Earth.When they drop something,it doesn't fall to the floor.They eat and drink differently in space.They have special plates so that their food doesn't fly away.In fact,they can drink hot water and eat fresh and hot food in the space station.Though they can see sunrises and sunsets every 90 minutes in space,they still get 7 hours of sleep every night. The three astronauts also say exercise is important for them as well.Since there is no gravity their muscles(肌肉) become weak very quickly.To prevent this from happening,they have to exercise on special machines to train their muscles every day.However,it is not all hard work in space.When th ... ...
