Unit 3 Life in the future.阅读理解(建议用时16)A2017浙江联考You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now，” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect selfdriving cars to be a mainstream(主流) thing between 2020 and 2025.”The American company Google has been working on a selfdriving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly selfdriving. These cars have no steering wheels or pedals.Last week, police ordered one of Googles cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not disobeying any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.According to Google, its selfdriving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years. So far, no Google selfdriving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.Other companies are working on selfdriving cars. MercedesBenz. Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota all have plans far such vehicles.A company BestMile called plans to operate selfdriving buses in Switzerland next spring. The buses will hold up to nine people and will be tested for two years. MercedesBenz is developing large selfdriving trucks for long trips. These trucks use drivers to control them.A company called Royal will have selfdriving trucks at construction sites in Florida by the end of this year. No drivers are needed in these vehicles.篇章导读：本文为说明文。随着科技的发展，无人驾驶技术更加成熟，越来越多的公司投入无人驾驶汽车的开发，不久的将来，对我们来说，拥有一辆无人驾驶汽车将成为可能。1What Andrew Poliak said suggests that _.Ahe took pride in their technology oneselfdriving carsBhe is eager to sell their technology on selldriving carsChe is optimistic about the development of selfdriving carsDhe feels certain that most people can own selfdriving cars答案：C推理判断题。根据第三段Andrew Poliak所说的话“我们现在已经掌握了这项技术，我们希望在2020年到2025年间自驾车成为主流”可知，他对于自驾车的发展很乐观。故选C项。2Why did the police order one of Googles cars to stop last week?ABecause its speed was too low.BBecause it disobeyed local laws.CBecause the operators behaved badly.DBecause there existed technology problems.答案：A细节理解题。根据第五段中的第一句“Last week, police ordered one of Googles cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road.”可知，警察让谷歌的一辆汽车停下来，是因为它的速度太慢。故选A项。3What caused some of Googles selfdriving cars to have accidents?ALack of experience.BHigh speed.COther cars faults.DToo much confidence.答案：C细节理解题。根据第六段中的最后两句“So far, no Google selfdriving car has gotten a traffic ticket.

Video suggests we could develop red eyes, have darker skin and be betterlooking. Climate change, artificial intelligence and genetic mutations(基因突变) are all set to transform our bodies.In the future tiny robots will be suddenly put into our own bodies, improving our abilities. Meanwhile, designer babies will cause future generations to grow into increasingly intelligent and attractive people. But while that will make us smarter, stronger and betterlooking, such genetic similarity, or lack of human diversity, leaves room for a single new disease of the future to wipe out the entire human race. As global warming takes hold， humans will also be skinnier and taller, as this body shape is better able to dissipate heat.Our faces may also change greatly, according to Dr Alan Kwan, who holds a PhD in computational genomics from Washington University in St Louis. Dr Kwan has created a shocking series of images which show one possible evolution for the human race over the next 100,000 years.As genetic engineering becomes normal, “the fate of the human face will be increasingly determined by human tastes，” writes Dr Kwan, while foreheads will continue to expand as our brains continue to grow larger. As man achieves total control over genetics, the human face will become heavily biased(有偏见的) towards features that humans find fundamentally appealing： strong lines, straight nose and deep eyes.Dr Kwan believes eyes will grow very large as the human race colonizes (开拓殖民地) the solar system and people start living in the dimmer environments of colonies further away from the sun.Besides, our 80s or 100s are going to be so different from our grandparents. Instead of living fast and dying young, humans will live slow and die old. Some evolutionary scientists believe this age could be as high as 120 by 2050.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文中主要畅想了1000年后我们人类将发生的巨大变化。5What will happen in 1,000 years according to the text?AHumans will become less beautiful.BHumans will stay away from all diseases.CRobots will replace humans in many areas.DHumans will have higher abilities than now.答案：D细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，随着将来微型机器人被植入人体，人类的本领会更高。6What does the underlined word “dissipate” in the second paragraph mean?AKeep something in.BDrive something out.CMake something appear.DSeparate something from others.答案：B词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句可知，将来人类会更加瘦长，而这种体形上的变化是为了应对全球变暖。由此可推知，瘦长的体形更有助于人类在日趋变暖的环境中散热。故选B项。7According to Dr Alan Kwan, in 100,000 years _.Ahumans will have the ability to control the solar systemBhumans foreheads will become as large as their brainsChumans will gain richer knowledge about geneticsDhumans faces will be skinnier and longer答案：C推理判断题。分析第四段对基因工程的介绍可推知，100000年后，人类在基因方面的知识会更加丰富。其他几项均与原文信息不符。8Why will the future humans have bigger eyes?ATo adapt to the lack of unlight.BTo adapt to the change of climate.CTo adjust to their larger foreheads.DTo make themselves more beautiful.答案：A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可推知，由于远离太阳，未来人类生存环境中的光线会更暗，所以人们的眼睛会变大，以适应这一变化。1transform vt. 改变；转化 2.evolution n. 进化；演化3fate n. 命运 4.expand vt. 扩大；扩展5appealing adj. 有吸引力的1wipe out 彻底消灭；全部摧毁2take hold 固定下来.七选五(建议用时8)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to build your own websiteSixty years ago, people asked about your astrological (星座) sign._1_These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.
