we can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.let us take an obvious example. man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. now, on average, men are about three inches taller. five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. as time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! this is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.nowadays our eyes are in constant use. in fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. but over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. on the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. these, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. at the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. but what about hair? this will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. in the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! this may well be true. all the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. he will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 41. the passage mainly tells us that_. a. mans life will be different in the future b. future man will look quite different from us c. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes d. the functions of mans organs(器官) will function as well as today42. which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?a. mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.b. man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. c. man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.d. mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.43. the change in mans size of forehead is probably because_ a. he makes use of only 20 % of the brains capacity. b. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time. c. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries. d. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.44. which of the following is true about a human being in the future?a. he thinks and feels in different way.b. he has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.c. he is hairless because hair is no longer useful.d. his fingers grow weaker because he doesnt use them.45. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. future life is always predictable（可预测的）b. human beings hope for a change in the future lifec. human beings will become less attractive in the futured. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填在答题纸上的相应位置。首先，请阅读下列一些商店的有关介绍：a. fashion shopthere are all kinds of fashionable clothes, caps, bags, shoes and so on that come from france, china, america and britain for girls. we have special clothes for your girls birthday. we make sure that your girl will get more beautiful if you buy her any commodity (商品) in our shop. why not come in and have a look?b. souvenir (纪念品) shopwe have thousands of autograph books, commemorative envelops (纪念信封) and commemorative stamps (纪念邮票) in our shop. all of these goods have special meanings for those who have them. the shop is the largest souvenir shop in our city and the prices are not high.c. music instrument shopmusic instruments are for music talents! if you love music and want to buy music instruments, we will provide all kinds of instruments for you. every music instrument in our shop comes from france. we can meet any of your needs and transport what you choose from our shop to your house.d. the latest book shopyou will find the latest published books and best-selling books for children in our small book shop. though it is small, the shop is popular with the children in our community. boys and girls, dont hesitate (犹豫)! low price but big pleasure.e. delicious snack shopchildren need snacks! there are candies, chocolates, fruit, biscuits, moon cakes and other delicious snacks for your kids. want your children to be much happier?
