should we be optimistic about the years ahead, or worried about what the future holds? some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future.“im looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life,” says john searle, a professor at the university of california berkeley philosophy,“because i think further research in such areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health, and make life longer.”hugh herr, at mits biomechatronics group, considers very powerful weapons (武器) as concern (担心) over the future. another is the growing role of technology in our lives.“machines taking over what humans do is not a good thing,”herr says.that is a similar concern shared by daniela cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. “i am afraid that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings,” says cerqui. “the main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and computers are much better than humans in these tasks.”36. the first paragraph mainly tells us _.a. how science will develop in the next two centuriesb. how people will live in a modern societyc. what life would be like in the futured. what computers will bring to our society37. what is john searles attitude towards the future of technology?a. worried.b. optimistic.c. uncertain.d. disappointed.38. the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to _.a. the poverty problem in the futureb. machines taking over what humans doc. the technology of weaponsd. the health problem of humans39. what is the writers attitude towards the changes that wait for us in the future?a. excited.b. worried.c. unknown.d. disappointed.(b)life in 2060let us suppose it is now about a.d.2060. lets believe it is about fifty years from now. of course things have changed and life is very different.voyages to the moon are being made every day. it is easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in the 1960s to take a holiday in europe. at a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. the hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. in order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.what are people eating now? people are still eating food. they havent yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. they may do this some day. but many kinds of foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has been filled. the deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. the harvest is always good.farming, of course, is very highly developed. very few people have to work on the farm; it is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.people are now largely vegetarians. you see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. therefore the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cures of diseases and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. no one has to be ill any more.such would be our life in 2060.40. when was the passage written probably?a. in about a.d. 2060.b. in about 1960.c. in about 2011.d. in about 2004.41. according to the passage, what will be on the moon in about a.d. 2060?a. many tourists.b. many other animals.c. many plants.d. a sea.42. what will people eat then according to the passage?a. biscuits in pill form.b. foods in pill form.c. foods in water form.d. foods in gas form.43. the passage tells us that in 2060, _ on the earth than now.a. there are fewer peopleb. there are more petsc. there is less waterd. the crops are getting better(c)without leaving your living room or office, youll sit at three dimensional virtual meetings and classes, looking around the table or the lecture hall at your colleagues avatars.does this sound like future hype (宣传)? in their new book, in finite reality, jim blascovich and jeremy bailenson insist that 3d conferences with avatars are close. the psychologists point to three developments: the microsoft kinect tracking system for the xbox, the nintendo 3ds gaming device, and the triumph on the “jeopardy!” tv game show of ibms watson computer.“these three events have been paradigm-shifting (思维转换) for avatar conferences,” says dr. bailenson, the founding director of the virtual human interaction lab at stanford university in california.“virtual reality scientists have been waiting for these events for decades and faster than most of us predicted, the technology is finally ready for the living room and the cubicle.”the kinect tracking device shows that its now practical for you to control your avatar simply by moving around the living roomon more need for special suits or elaborate sensors in a lab. nor do you have to wear special glasses to see in 3d, thanks to the “auto stereo” display on the new nintendo 3ds,which beams a three-dimensional image to the bare eyes.with these technologies and a few tricks that have already been done in the lab you can sit at a virtual conference table and exchange glances with the avatars of the other participants. your avatar would appear to be three-dimensional. based on your photograph and tracking your movements, it would be a fairly accurate show of you and of your reactions.dr. blascovich and dr. bailenson say, you could possibly create an avatar with a face partially changed with that of anyone in the room that you wanted to impress. in fact, you could arrange it so that each person saw a face containing some of his or her own features. that would most likely make you more popular with your colleagues or clients who, of course, might be using exactly the same strategy by displaying avatars changed with your facial features.44. where is the passage probably taken from?a. entertainment.b. advertisement.c. science fiction.d. travel.45. which is not the three developments that contribute to the avatar conferences?a. the microsoft kinect tracking system for the xbox.b. the triumph on the “jeopardy!” tv game show of ibms watson computer.c. the nintendo 3ds gaming device.d. three-dimensional.46. thanks to the “auto stereo” display on the new nintendo 3ds, you control your avatar _.a. by moving around the living roomb. with special suitsc. with elaborate sensorsd. with special glasses47. the underlined word “predicted” can be replaced by _.a. protectedb. foresawc. preparedd. suggested(d)should we try to contact and make friends with other beings in the universe? certainly not, says british physicist stephen hawking.“if aliens (creatures from other planets) ever visit us, i think the outcome would be much as when christopher columbus first landed in america, which didnt turn out very well for the native americans,”said the 68-year-old disabled scientist in a new discovery channel documentary (纪实性电视节目) on april 25.the program depicits an imagined universe where other life forms in huge spaceships hunt for resources after using up all those on their home planets.“such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧民) , looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,”warned hawking.on the probability of other life forms existing, he says,“to my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly reasonable.”hawkings concerns have frightened some people and been met with disagreement from other researchers. paul davies, author of the book renewing our search for alien intelligence, thinks hawkings reasoning is wrong.he argues that since earth is about 4.5 billion years old, if intelligent life is likely, communities with other beings may have been there for a very long time.“if resources are the factor, then at least one group of aliens would surely have visited earth as a desirable destination millions of years ago.”even if other life forms do come to earth in the near future, davies believes comparisons with columbus are wide of the mark (离谱的).48. what is the article mainly about?a. other life forms coming to our planet.b. scientific evidence of other life forms.c. earth as the only place where human beings can survive.d. hawkings belief that other life forms may exist in the universe.49. which of the following ideas is opposed to hawkings view?a. other life forms exist in the universe.b. other life forms may be more intelligent than human beings.c. we should try to contact other life forms from other planets.d. other life forms may exist in more than one part of the universe.50. hawking referred to christopher columbus as an example to _.a. inspire interest in the universeb. draw attention to other planets in the universec. warn people to watch out for other life formsd. urge further exploration of the universe.任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格1个单词。(2012南京高一检测)there are some very good things about open education. this way of teaching allows the students to develop their own interests in many subjects. open education allows students to be responsible for their own education. some students do badly in traditional classrooms. the open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. some students will be happier in an open education school. they will not have to worry about grades or rules.but many students will not do well in an open classroom. for some students, there are too few rules. these students will do little in school. they will not make good use of open education. because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. for many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. they worry about the rules even when there are no rules. ever a few rules will help this kind of students. the last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. many teachers do not believe in open education. teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.you now know what open education is. some of its good points and bad points have been explained. you may have your own opinion about open education. the writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. in actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. the writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. they want and need to have some rules. in some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. they would not study those subjects if they did not have to.title：open 51._definitionopen education is a way of teaching which allows students to learn what they are 52. _ in without many rules.54. _open education enables students to realize they are learning for 53. _, not for others.in open classrooms, many students dont need to be afraid of grades or rules.some students find 55. _ happiness in open classrooms compared with traditional classrooms.disadvantagesmany students cannot prove themselves as good in open classrooms as in traditional classrooms.there are so many 56. _ for students to make th
