情景导入
想象一下 2126 年的杭州：机器人在西湖边扫地，无人机送来外卖，你乘着飞行汽车去上学……这些会实现吗？用英语做预测，主角是 will：
Will people have robots?（人们会有机器人吗？）
Yes, they will. Every home will have a robot helper.（会的，每家都会有一个机器人助手。）
本单元我们用 will 打开"未来预测"模式，聊科技、环境和人类生活的变化。
核心词汇
| 单词/短语 | 词性 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| robot | n. | 机器人 | Robots will do the housework. |
| pollution | n. | 污染（不可数） | There will be less pollution. |
| planet | n. | 行星 | People will live on other planets. |
| space station | n. | 太空站 | He works on a space station. |
| in the future | 短语 | 在未来 | What will life be like in the future? |
| hundreds of | 短语 | 数百的 | hundreds of years from now |
重点搭配：come true（实现）、look for（寻找）、be able to（能够）
句型与语法
核心结构：主语 + will + 动词原形（will 对任何人称都不变形）
| 句式 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| 肯定句 | People will live to be 200 years old. |
| 否定句 | People won't (= will not) use money. |
| 一般疑问句 | Will kids study at home? — Yes, they will. / No, they won't. |
| 特殊疑问句 | What will the future be like? |
There be 句型的将来时：
- There will be more tall buildings in Hangzhou. （注意：不能说 There will have！）
more / less / fewer 的用法（预测未来必备）：
| 词 | 修饰 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| more | 可数/不可数都行 | more robots, more free time |
| less | 只修饰不可数名词 | less pollution, less paper |
| fewer | 只修饰可数名词复数 | fewer trees, fewer cars |
听说训练
未来畅想会（用 will 大胆预测，同伴用 I agree / I disagree 回应）：
- Will people have robots at home? — Yes, they will. Robots will help us cook and clean.
- What will the West Lake look like in 100 years? — It will be even cleaner and more beautiful.
跟读要点：will 的缩写 'll 要轻而短——people'll、there'll；won't 读 /wəʊnt/，注意与 want /wɒnt/ 区分。
辨析对比
① There will be vs There will have
- 中文"将会有"容易翻译成 have，但 There be 句型里 be 不能换成 have：There will be a new subway line. ✅
② less vs fewer
- less + 不可数：less water, less pollution
- fewer + 可数复数：fewer trees, fewer students
- 口诀：数得清用 fewer，数不清用 less。
文化角
"机器人"robot 一词来自捷克作家恰佩克 1920 年的剧本，原意是"苦役劳工"。一百年过去，科幻正变成现实：今天的杭州已经有送餐机器人、酒店服务机器人，亚运会上还有机器狗帮忙捡铁饼。英语里有句名言：The best way to predict the future is to create it.（预测未来的最好方式，就是创造未来。）
易错点
- There will have：There will have more parks. ❌ → There will be more parks. ✅
- will 后接三单或过去式：He will goes / went to space. ❌ → He will go to space. ✅
- less 修饰可数名词：less cars ❌ → fewer cars ✅
中考真题
If we keep using shared bikes and the subway, there will be ______ cars and ______ pollution in our city.
A. fewer; less B. less; fewer C. more; less D. fewer; more
✏️ 点击查看解答
答案：A
解析：本题考查 fewer 与 less 的区别。cars 是可数名词复数，用 fewer 修饰；pollution 是不可数名词，用 less 修饰。
再看逻辑：多骑共享单车、多坐地铁，汽车会变少、污染会变少，因此选 A（fewer cars, less pollution）。
考点
- will + 动词原形与 There will be 句型是中考单选、语法填空高频考点，重点防"there will have"陷阱；
- more / less / fewer 三兄弟的辨析几乎每年在各地中考出现，判断关键是名词可数还是不可数；
- 写作应用："未来的生活 / 未来的学校 / 未来的家乡"是热门作文题，通篇用 will 预测，再加一句 "I believe my dream will come true." 收尾非常加分。
诵读 Read Aloud
What will Hangzhou be like in 100 years? Here are my predictions. First, every family will have a robot helper. Robots will do the housework, so people will have more free time to relax by the West Lake. Second, there will be fewer cars and less pollution, because people will travel in flying buses that use clean energy. The sky will be bluer, and the water in the rivers will be cleaner. Third, students won't carry heavy schoolbags any more. They will study on smart screens and even take field trips to a space station! Some people say these predictions will never come true. But I believe that if we work hard and use science well, the future of our city will be brighter than ever.
诵读小贴士：朗读时注意 will 的弱读和 won't 的重读对比；圈出范文中的 more / fewer / less，看它们各自修饰什么名词——这正是本单元中考最爱考的点。
