Speak三、阅读理解：What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? 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 use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.1. The passage mainly tells us that_.A. mans life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. mans organs functions will be one the wane2. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.3. The change in mans size of forehead is probably because_A. he makes use only 20 % of the brains capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.4. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.It is implied that _.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.参考答案：took up 2. lack of 3, made a strong impression on 4. caught sight of 5. lost her sight6, impression 7, surrounding 8, previous完形填空内容概要：本文讲述了人的大脑有预测未来的非凡能力，甚至在梦中有时也能解决一些难题。答案简析：1、选C。从前一句话中可以得到足够的启示。2、选A。此处强调过程，另三个词系短暂动词，不能这样用。3、选A。imagine表示一种心理描绘，与look forward to，predict 和expect 等词意相吻合。4、选D。这里强调的是行为方式。此外，第6个空格前重现了类似的表达方式。5、选C。情况经常与我们预计的不同，说明我们的预计不总是“正确的”。6、选D。四个选项中只有expect与predict 同义。7、选C。开普勒的梦不具有 funny，dull和silly的特征。8、选A。从下文来看，已成功地解决了问题，而不是“想”、“希望”或“努力”去做。9、选A。“研究”与“分析”是紧密相联的。study 此处意为“研究”。research作“研究”讲时，若接宾语，须加上介词on 或into。10、选C。凭语感确定。11、选B。find out 意为“弄清”、“找出”。其余三个词组不合文意。12、选C。wake up“醒来”,符合情节发展的进程：睡觉做梦醒来。13、选A。由前文可知，他是在“梦”中解决了难题。14、选
