一、阅读理解
Welcome to our future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You look young. In 2035, many people can live to be about 150 years old. So at the age of 40, you're not old at all. And your parents look the same age as you!

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend with your watch. Such "smart technology (科技；工艺) " is all around you.

Today there are nearly 7. 4 billion people on Earth. By the year 2050 there may be 9. 8 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.
One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic (基因的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.
By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.
GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.
（1）There may be ___________billion people by the year 2050 on Earth.
A．6.4 B．9.8 C．18.5 D．20.5
（2）How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly
A．By making the best plants.
B．By asking the farmers to grow plants.
C．By changing planting environment.
D．By changing their genetic material.
（3）Why do rich countries produce GM foods
A．Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money.
B．Because they are easy to grow and very cheap.
C．Because they help produce more food.
D．Because they are the best plants.
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．GM plants are not natural.
B．GM plants are strong against plant diseases.
C．Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are.
D．GM foods may hurt people or their children later.
（5）What can we learn from the passage
A．GM foods will disappear one day in the future.
B．GM foods will not disappear in the future.
C．People will not be interested in GM foods.
D．People will have to stop eating GM foods.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system (远程监控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
（1）According to the text, living in a "smart" city____________.
A．is not a green way B．will be far from you
C．will soon become true D．is completely impossible
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．A city in the future. B．A meeting in Songdo.
C．A plan to build a house. D．A report on public health.
（3）Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo
A．Cisco. B．IBM. C．Siemens. D．Microsoft.
（4）Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to__________.
A．drive people out of cities B．control the world's population
C．develop his own company D．solve the cities' coming problems
（5）Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A．Future education B．Smart cities
C．Government services D．Famous companies

Life in the future will be different. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people do now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least (至少) one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
（1）In the future there will be____________.
A．much more fruit B．more people
C．less vegetables D．fewer people
（2）Every family will have at least a _________in the future.
A．robot B．cow C．TV set D．computer

10．阅读理解
What will the future life be like Many people, magazines and some films have told us that robots will be able to work for us in the future. They already can make cars, play music and do many trivial things.
In the future, robots might be able to make websites for us; they might be able to make houses all by themselves; they might be able to do anything for us. However, I believe that in the future, it will not be the robots working for us, we will work for them.
In the future, people might create a human being that cannot have a will of his own and has to follow orders only from his master. This means you can train him mentally with computers. And you know that an adult who follows the same training over and over again will not be able to change without another training. This means you can have someone work in a factory with no payment. And he will still be happy even if he only gets the basic life-support goods, because it's the way he was trained. I believe that this is the reason why the government does not allow any human research.
（1）Robots already can do the following things for humans EXCEPT___________ according to the passage.
A．making cars B．playing music
C．doing many trivial things D．saving people's life
（2）What can we know from the second paragraph

B．In the future, robots can do more things than humans.
C．Robots of the future will not be respected.

A．boss B．parent C．owner D．teacher

September 21st, 2050—At a press conference today, it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars would be the 38-year-old American businessman Patrick Clifford. He would leave the Earth in the launching window of June, 2052, and he would set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with 6 astronauts who would further explore the planet.
Patrick has a two-year training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was very excited, "This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible."
To be able to pay the 1.3 billion dollars for his ticket for the trip, Patrick sold his majority stocks in the company which his father had built. "I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today. He knew what this meant to me," says Patrick.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet "Well, since I don't have a job, when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea," Patrick says and laughs. If he brings a shovel(铲子), he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn't expect too many guests until someone can offer a lower transfer fare.
（1）How long will it take Patrick Clifford to travel from the Earth to Mars
A．Two years. B．Five months. C．Six months. D．600 days.
（2）According to the passage, when might the first man land on Mars
A．In 2070. B．In 2020. C．In 2030. D．In 2050.
（3）If Patrick's father had still been alive, he would ___________.
A．have stopped Patrick selling his stocks
B．have supported Patrick to travel to Mars
C．have travelled to Mars with Patrick
D．have started a new company
（4）What does Patrick Clifford plan to do on Mars
A．Explore the planet with scientists. B．Think about a new business idea
C．Set up the first hotel there. D．Write a book about Mars.

What will life be like in 2050
Life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from entertainment to technology.
TV channels will disappear in 2050. People will choose a programme from a "menu" and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.
Water wilt become one of our most serious problems. Today in many places, agriculture is developing and people are growing fruit and vegetables to export(出口). This needs a lot of water. Need for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there will be serious shortages(短缺).
In transportation, computers will control the speed of the ears and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Besides, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In the field of technology, robots will replace people in many fields. Today many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots because they do not ask for pay rises or go on strikes, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
（1）TV channels will in 2050.

Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you don't see the person you are talking with. That may change in the near future.
Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show the person you're calling.
They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you'll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you'll go to your phone and call the shop.

Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future As the population is growing fast, there must be changes in our food.
More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables.
Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.
Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. Scientists predict(预测) the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the quality of the soil. The soybean (黄豆) makes a good substitute(替代品) for rice and meat.
（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage
A．Because meat makes people fat.
B．Because meat may be more expensive.
C．Because people want to be healthier.
D．Because people want to eat more vegetables.
（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage
A．From the sea. B．From the land.
C．From the rivers. D．From other planets.
（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage
A．Because growing rice is hard work.
B．Because people will eat less rice.
C． Because rice needs much water to grow.
D．Because it takes too much time to grow rice.
（4）Which of the following about beans is NOT true
A．Beans may be popular for farmers to grow.
B．Beans need as much water as rice to grow.
C．Beans improve the quality of the soil.
