unlike the changes of a clock face, the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict(预测). one of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature. hundreds of thousands of years ago, all changes were natural, but now we can actively choose paths for our own evolution. a us artist named nickolay lamm has recently offered an idea at what human faces may one day look like. the designs, inspired by his conversations with scientist alan kwan, show humans with larger heads and eyes. in particular, lamm predicts the forehead(额) may be larger because of increased usage of the brain. just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields, whereas(然而) nowadays more and more people receive education. these are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will evolve in the future. but with such huge changes in our environments, it seems likely that we will look very different one day.71. the changes of human faces are hardly noticed because _. a. we never think about the changesb. the changes take place too slowly c. the size of our brain becomes small d. we have no time to pay attention to it72. whats the meaning of the word “evolution”? a. faces which the human being will have in the future. b. a process in which something passes to different stages(阶段) slowly. c. a way in which we can control nature. d. an idea which we use to create new things.73. from paragraph 3, we learn that _. a. our heads will become larger in the future b. its easy to predict the changes in human faces c. humans nowadays are powerful in many parts d. humans in the past didnt like have any changes74. according to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is true? a. nickolay lamm knows what humans will look like. b. alan k
