in fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. the dinosaurs were on the earth for over 160 million years. then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a piece of object in space. the dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. will we meet the same end?1what is mainly described in the passage?aa historic discovery.ban event of imagination.ca research on space.da scientific adventure.答案：b文章描述了人类在2094年可能会遭遇的灾难。这些事情只是一种想象，故选b项。2when the first piece hits the south atlantic, it causes_ _.aan earthquake bdamages to citiescan earth explosion dhuge waves答案：d根据文章第二段第四句“huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.” 可知答案应为d项。3why cant the northern half of the earth escape for long?abecause the land is covered with water.bbecause the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.cbecause people there can not live at the temperature of zero.dbecause wars break out among countries.答案：b文章第三段中提到，南半球数以万计的人已经死了，而北半球也逃脱不了这种厄运。因为太阳多年照不到地球，地球上的温度几乎降到了零度。植物遭到了破坏，食物缺乏，导致战争，故b项表述正确。4by giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove_ _.aanimals could not live in the cold climatebwhat happened 65 million years ago was an invented storycthe human beings will die out in 2094dthe earth could be hit by other objects in space答案：d分析第四段内容可知，作者举恐龙这一例子是为了说明地球很有可能再次遭遇袭击。bsome people are pessimistic(悲观的) when they think about the future. they say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used most of the earths resources. we will have polluted our seas badly, and be unable to eat fish from them. we will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks.the worlds population will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.other people believe that man adapts very easily. they have a different idea of the future. however, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years time?one architect(建筑师) believes that man will move off the land. he suggests that the city of the future will be a huge, pyramidshaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. about 5,000 families will be living there, and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes.by living on the sea, we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.as for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. and we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans. at the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. but, in a hundred years time，the optimists(乐观主义者) say, the new sea cities will be using these resources.what will be in the shops in the year 3000? what will people be wearing? how will people be traveling?scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.people will be wearing very light, thin clothes. by this time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.as for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. anybody will be able to stop one and use it.an interesting picture! unfortunately, we will not be there to see if these predictions come true.5pessimists believe that in the future_.athe seas and oceans will be full of housesbwell have used up all the resourcescwe will not have enough fish to eat from the seasdwe will have polluted the air so badly that it will be impossible for us to breath答案：d由文章第一段第
