B He shows no interest in it.C He considers it worse than before. D He considers it better than before.27.What does the passage mainly talk about?A The history of British food. B The history of French food.C The change in British food. D The change in French food.C篇We dont know how different out future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Interneteven our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people wont be as important as they are todaywe will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isnt true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we cant predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our childrens future；we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rathersanguineabout our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.解题导语：2050的生活会是什么样的？设想一下。28. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A Because the number of people will become much smaller.B Because there will be less face-to-face communication.C Because people wont like making friends with each other.D Because people wont communicate with each other much often.29. The third paragraph mainly tells us_.A that computers will do all the things for human beingsB how people will use computers to communicate with each otherC that machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD how people will use robots to do the housework30. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A The relationship between people will be more important than today.B The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C It wont be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.31.

B The function of the PIN.C A home for the future. D Easy life in the future.34.This PIN tells the house _.A what you need B who and where you areC where the lights nearest you are D how you wear clothes35.Whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A To let readers know why his ideas are new.B To let readers know how special his house is.C To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.第三部分:七选五(每小题2.0分,共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有2项为多余选项。 In high school，its important to stay healthy._36_ How can you study well if youre sick?
