Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in this way.In many places, agriculture（农业） is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict（预测） that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now.In future, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of them and there wont 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 your destination. Also, by 2050, spaceplanes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike(罢工), and work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Nowadays, scientists have discovered how to control genes(基因)and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able toproduce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?24. By 2050, people will get information mainly by _.A. watching TVB. reading newspapersC. listening to the radioD. turning to a website25.

Medicine. B. Technology.C. Education.D. Agriculture.CTo travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous（冒险的） people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.28. Why do most people feel hard to make their travel dream come true？A. Because they can hardly find hotels.B. Because the food is not healthy.C. Because the cost of travel is high.D. Because they are afraid of adventure.29. The best word to describe the way of realizing the travel dream is _.A. special B. creative C. richD. adventurous30. It is known from the passage that Laura and Tanbay paid for their trips by _.A. staying in the house for freeB. being given food and day drinksC. going to Australia and other countriesD. looking after pets for rich house owners31. According to the passage, Taylor is a photographer who shares her photos _.A. on the Internet B. during her travelC. with hundreds of followers D. during staying in hotels32. What does the underlined word “generous” mean in ChineseA.吝啬的 B.友善的 C.慷慨的 D.冷漠的D What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you dont know for sure, its very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe youre riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).Even if you dont have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we cant escape. Even if we ignore it, its still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Whos in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy(敌人). Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, youll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become all slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.33. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 most likely means somebody or something that is _. A. your slave and serves youB. your friend or supporter and helps you C. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you34. The author intends to tell us that time _. A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies C. should be well managed for our own interest D. should be saved for outside interests35. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you _. A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost time C. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of time第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to save money when you are shoppingSmart shopping is important for a low budget(预算).
