However, did you know that its also a pioneer in environmental protection?Ikea says its working hard to improve the environment. The company has made huge efforts to cut the carbon emissions(碳排放)of its suppliers(供应商).Over the past five years, Ikea has helped its suppliers become 18 percent more energy-efficient. It managed to do so by bringing its suppliers together. The one that produces the least carbon emissions will be praised.Ikea has also invested(投资)heavily in clean energy. The company now operates more than 300 wind turbines(叶轮机)around the world. It has also set up nearly 750,000 solar panels(太阳能嵌板)on the roof of its stores. As a result, Ikea can produce 71 percent of the energy it uses, which are all from clean sources. In some countries，such a Denmark and Finland，the company produces as much energy as it uses.Ikea has been buying forests as well. It owns nearly 750 square kilometers of forest.Last but not least, Ikea has tried changing customers behavior(行为).It does so by improving product designs. In 2015, Ikea changed all of its lighting products into LED. This change alone, it says, has saved lots of electricity.（1）According to the article, which of the following are examples of clean energy? Fire wood. Oil. Solar energy. Wind power.A . B . C . D . （2）What is the main idea of the article? A . Ikea is the worlds biggest furniture company.B . Ikea has been working hard to protect the environment.C . Ikea has invested heavily in clean energy.D . Ikea has helped customers save lots of electricity.（3）Why did Ikea change all of its lighting products into LED? A . To cut the carbon emissions of its suppliers.B . To make itself famous.C . To save money and buy more forests.D .

You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction(预言) that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.Robot helpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not coming any time soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes.So why it hasnt happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of tomorrowIn 1964, an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet.Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: People desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?Probably notit could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available(可利用的) doesnt always mean people will want to use it.Flying carsAnd finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.（1）The whole passage is mainly about_? A . predictions that have come trueB . predictions that havent come trueC . three useful high-tech inventionsD . what technology will bring about（2）The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 5 probably means_? A . cheapB . stupidC . practicalD . strange（3）What did the American company predict about video phones by the year 2000? A . People have video phones that fits in their pockets.B . Video phones are widely used in peoples homes.C . People like using video phones after taking a shower.D . Video phones are available and people desire for them.（4）What does the author think of the flying car? A . It is too difficult to imagine.B . It is a crazy idea.C . It is possible to be made.D . It is not available to people.（5）Which of the following is probably NOT the authors belief? A . Predictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technology.B . The future isnt always easy to guess.C . Not all of past predictions have come true.D . Many of the high-tech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared.四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共5分)25. （5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。Chinese Paper CuttingAs traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history.
