1. 【課本重點(diǎn)】 There will be less free time.

【中考考點(diǎn)】①There ________ a talk by Yang Liwei tomorrow morning in our school.

A. was B. will be C. have D. has

②根據(jù)句意及首字母提示，寫出下列單詞在句中的正確形式：

Football is l________ popular than basketball in America.

【解析】①選B項(xiàng)。這是there be結(jié)構(gòu)的將來時(shí)形式，其中的be在此不可用have/has來代替。②填less。由句中than可知，這里用little的比較級形式。句意為：在美國足球沒有籃球受歡迎。

2. 【課本重點(diǎn)】What do you think Sally will be in five years.

【中考考點(diǎn)】My father will be back from Beijing ________ a week.

A. for B. in C. after

【解析】選B項(xiàng)。在表示以現(xiàn)在為起點(diǎn)的“在……之后”這個含義時(shí)，介詞in之后接時(shí)間段，介詞after之后則接時(shí)間點(diǎn)。例如：I shall come round in a day or two. 我一兩天之后回來。 He'll come back after seven o'clock. 他將在七點(diǎn)鐘之后回來。

3. 【課本重點(diǎn)】Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future.

【中考考點(diǎn)】單詞拼寫：I will try to do better in the ________ (未來)。

【解析】填future。in the future與in future意思差不多，前者較側(cè)重“將來”，后者較側(cè)重“今后”。此外，future還可作“前程；前景”解，這時(shí)常與a連用。如：With an accounting degree, she has a bright future. 有一個會計(jì)學(xué)位，她的前途很光明。

4. 【課本重點(diǎn)】...they agree it may take hundreds of years.

【中考考點(diǎn)】 ________ tourists visit Mount Heng every day.

A. Hundreds of B. Hundred of

C. Hundreds D. Seven hundreds

【解析】選A項(xiàng)。hundreds of 意思是“好幾百；成百上千”，hundred在此表示一個不確定的數(shù)字，常用復(fù)數(shù)形式后跟介詞of，如果表示的是具體幾百時(shí)，要用單數(shù)形式，且后面不跟of。如：seven hundred tourists 700名游客。
