2028, and you are headed for a business appointment 300 miles away. you step into your circle, twopassenger aircushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paperwhich is flashed on a flat tv screen over the cars dashboard. tapping a button changes the page. the car speeds up to 150 mph in the citys countryside, and then hits 250 mph in less builtup areas, driving over the smooth plastic road.you fly past a string of cities, many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. traffic is heavy, typically, but theres no need to worry. the traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. there hasnt been an accident since the system began. suddenly your tv phone buzzes.a business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is putting out for sports boats. you reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencilthin infrared flashlight (红外线闪光灯) on what looks like a tv screen lining the back of the case. the diagram is sent to a similar screen in your partners office, 200 miles away. he presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. he wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. your car slows down and heads for an outercore office building where youll meet your colleagues. after you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return. private cars arent allowed inside most city cores. moving sidewalks and electrams (电车) carry the public from one location to another.篇章导读：本文为一篇记叙文。全文畅想了人们在不远的将来2028年的高科技精彩生活。1the traffic computer in your car can _ .akeep your car at a safe distance from other carsbkeep your car at the same speed in different situationsckeep your car receiving signals of tv programsdkeep your car driving avoiding heavy traffic答案：a细节理解题。从第二段倒数第二句“the traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart.”可知，交通电脑可以使汽车保持安全的距离。2why are the cities covered by the new domes?ato prevent people from being wet in the rain.bto stop the climate of the cities changing violently all year.cto protect the travelers against the strong sunshine.dto make the city have the same weather all year.答案：b细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round”可知，城市上空的圆屋顶的作用是使城市的气候变化不剧烈，比较均匀。所以选b。3what will the city be like in the future?ano accidents will happen because of heavy traffic.bthe sidewalk can move itself up and down.cthe road is built with the plastic material.dthe car parks itself on a dome to wait for your return.答案：c细节理解题。从第二段中的“driving over the smooth plastic road”可知，道路是塑料建造的。其他选项均与文中细节不符。故选c项。4the third paragraph mainly tells _ .ayou are lucky to sell products of your companybyou receive best wishes from your business partnercyou can do business with a newly invented pencildyou can do business even on the road in the future答案：d段落大意题。本段讲述了你在路上处理公司业务，从而达成交易的过程。由此可知，本段主要是说即使在路上，由于具有先进的技术，你也可以做生意。故d项正确地概括了全段主旨。bwhat will humans look like in 1,000 years? video suggests we could develop red eyes, have darker skin and be betterlooking. climate change, artificial intelligence and genetic mutations (基因突变) are all set to transform our bodies.in the future tiny robots will be suddenly put into our own bodies, improving our abilities. meanwhile, designer babies will cause future generations to grow into increasingly intelligent and attractive people. but while that will make us smarter, stronger and betterlooking, such genetic similarity, or lack of human diversity, leaves room for a single new disease of the future to wipe out the entire human race. as global warming takes hold, humans will also be skinnier and taller, as this body shape is better able to dissipate heat. our faces may also change greatly, according to dr alan kwan, who holds a phd in computational genomics from washington university in st louis. dr kwan has created a shocking series of images which show one possible evolution for the human race over the next 100,000 years.as genetic engineering becomes normal, “the fate of the human face will be increasingly determined by human tastes，” writes dr kwan, while foreheads will continue to expand as our brains continue to grow larger. as man achieves total control over genetics, the human face will become heavily biased (有偏见的)towards features that humans find fundamentally appealing: strong lines, straight nose and deep eyes. dr kwan believes eyes will grow very large as the human race colonizes (开拓殖民地)the solar system and people start living in the dimmer environments of colonies further away from the sun.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。全文主要畅想了1，000年后人类外形上将发生的巨大变化。5what will happen in 1,000 years according to the text?ahumans will become less beautiful.bhumans will stay away from all diseases.crobots will replace humans in many areas.dhumans will have higher abilities than now.答案：d细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，随着将来微型机器人被植入人体，人类的本领会更强。6what does the underlined word “dissipate” in the second paragraph mean?akeep something in.bdrive something out.cmake something appear.dseparate something from others.答案：b词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，将来人类会更加瘦长，而这种体形上的变化是为了应对全球变暖。由此可推知，瘦长的体形更有助于人类在日趋变暖的环境中散热。故选b项。7according to dr alan kwan, in 100,000 years _ .ahumans will have the ability to control the solar systembhumans foreheads will become as large as their brainschumans will gain richer knowledge about geneticsdhumans faces will be skinnier and longer答案：c推理判断题。根据第四段对基因工程的介绍，尤其是“as man achieves total control over genetics”可推知，100,000年后，人类在基因方面的知识会更加丰富。其他几项均与原文信息不符。8why will the future humans have bigger eyes?ato adapt to the lack of sunlight.bto adapt to the change of climate.cto adjust to their larger foreheads.dto make themselves more beautiful.答案：a推理判断题。根据最后一段，尤其是“in the dimmer environments”可推知，由于远离太阳，未来人类生存环境中的光线会更暗，所以人们的眼睛会变大，以适应这一变化。.短文改错the incident had happened on my way to a
