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.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.how，in their views，will people be living in a hundred years time?one architect 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 say，the new sea cities will be using these resources.what will be in the shops in the year 3,000？what will people be wearing？how will people be traveling?scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that，by the year 3,000，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.unfortunately，we will not be there to see if these predictions come true.36pessimists 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 breathe37optimists suggest that_.aall the land will be too polluted to be cropped onbpyramids will be the most commonlyused housescpeople will be using the power from the sun instead of oildwe will be short of materials even though we get them from under the oceans38scientists have made the predictions except_.aelectric cars will be going along the streets continuouslybthe resources under the oceans will never be used upcpeople will order goods from homedpeople wont suffer from cold any longerbwhat picture do you have of the future？will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now？what do you hope about the future?futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology.first of all，it seems that tv channels will have disappeared by 2050.instead，people will choose a program from a “menu”and a computer will send the program directly to the television.in what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems.in many places，agriculture is changing and they are growing fruit and vegetables to export.this uses a lot of water.demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now.in transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast.cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there wont be any accidents.by 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.on the other hand，space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours.nowadays，the united states shuttle can go into space and land on earth again.by 2050，space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from los angels to tokyo in just two hours.in the field of technology，robots will have taken the place of people in factories.many factories already use robots.big companies prefer robotsthey do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.by 2050，we will see robots everywherein factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.today，there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear.by 2050，we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.scientists have discovered how to control genes（基因）.they have already produced clones of animals.by 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have.scientists will be able to do these thingsbut should they?39according to the author，the biggest environmental problems will be_ by the year 2050.awater bpollutioncglobal warming dblack holes40what does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?acars will go faster with new fuel.bvehicles will be more advanced.cit will be easier to go to space.dcomputers will be used on cars.41it can be inferred from the passage that _by 2050.amore people will be clonedbpeople will have fewer diseasescthe blind will be able to see againdscientists will be able to clone animals42which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?avehicles. btechnology.cagriculture. deducation.can idea that started in seattles public library has spread throughout america and beyond.the concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit（追求）to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched（发起）the “if all of seattle read the same book” project in 1998.her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities，and even to hong kong.in chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the “one book，one chicago” program.as a result，reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.across the us，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.the only problem arose in new york，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.this may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved.or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.ultimately，as nancy points out，the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.43what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?ato invite authors to guide readers.bto encourage people to read and share.cto involve people in community service.dto promote the friendship between cities.44why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?athey had little interest in reading.bthey were too busy to read a book.cthey came from many different backgrounds.dthey lacked support from the local government.45according to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out?ain large communities with little sense of unity.bin large cities where libraries are far from home.cin mediumsized cities with a diverse population.din large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.46the underlined words “shared a word” in paragraph 5 probably mean _.aexchanged ideas with each otherbdiscussed the meaning of a wordcgained life experiencedused the same language47according to nancy，the degree of success of the project is judged by _.athe careful selection of a proper bookbthe growing popularity of the writerscthe number of people who benefit from readingdthe number of books that each person readsdwe dont know how different our 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.travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.means of transport will，of course，change，too.we will be using solarpowered 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 rather sanguine about our future.we should be happy and believe good things will happen.48why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?abecause the number of people will become much smaller.bbecause there will be less facetoface communication.cbecause people wont like making friends with each other.dbecause people wont communicate with each other much often.49the third paragraph mainly tells us_.athat computers will do all the things for human beingsbhow people will use computers to communicate with each othercthat machines like computers and robots will help people a lotdhow people will use robots to do the housework50according to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050?athe relationship between people will be more important than today.bthe way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.cit wont be difficult for people to travel to other planets.dour environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.51what does the passage mainly talk about?ahow people will communicate in the year 2050.bwhat our life will be like in the year 2050.chow people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.dwhat high technology will appear in the year 2050.ewhen we look around today at the convenience produced by information and communication technology，we often pause to think about past decades when we didnt have these.it took us several days to mail a letter and you had to address the envelope，put a stamp on it，and deliver it to the nearest post office.as for banking，you were required to go to the bank during business hours when you wished to deposit（存）your pay cheque，pay bills，or take out some money.but now email and ebanking have certainly changed our lives by giving us the freedom to do these things at our comfortable homes and at any time we choose.technology is now providing more choices when it comes to education too.it is no longer necessary to attend lessons in a classroom in order to further our learning.the widespread use of the internet globalizes education and enables educational institutions to offer courses to students anywhere in the world.elearning has changed the way that courses can be taught and distance education has removed the traditional barriers of higher education.elearning has opened the door to higher education for many individuals who cant do it in any other way.it allows individuals to get degrees while still working full time；it allows stayathome mothers to earn their certificates while raising their children；it even allows people to study without leaving their homes.what will happen in the next decade if the technology continues to develop at the same rate as it has done in the past ten years？nobody can tell.one thing is for sure，though，these things will bring us a brighter future.52compared with traditional letters，ema
