2 . 阅读下面短文， 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

No one can foretell the future of technology exactly, because no one can see the future. However, there are reasonable     1     (argue) based on the advances and trends in technology in the past. For example, it’s reasonable to predict that computers will continue to become more powerful, numerous and cheaper. Areas with huge potential,     2     are just beginning to be made use of today, like biotechnology, will continue to produce fruit.

Technology in general will probably continue to improve,     3     (create) both promises and risks. In     4     area of computers, someone might interact with hundreds of embedded microchips (嵌入式微芯片) throughout the home and the office. In the future, it will be many thousands.     5     some have called “ubiquitous computing” —— computers everywhere helping us with everything —— will be caused by increasing bandwidth and decreasing costs. Some viewers, especially Bill Gates, believe the next few decades     6     (characterize) by long-awaited revolutions in robotic technology. Other futurists see trends in automation technology leading to desktop factories that enable users     7     (make) objects from a host of simple     8     (origin) parts.

Apart from above areas, there are dozens if not hundreds of areas that will continue to advance technologically. One thing is     9     sure: the future will have better technology than the past did. But will we put     10     to better use? Only time and effort will tell.

8 . Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life and they are predicting how we will travel, work and live in the next 30 years. By 2048, some futurologists foresee that some talking"   buildings will appear in our life.

By the middle of the century, it^’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk" to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on. As a result, there will be no switches. Instead, a lot of networks will appear, which can be compared to a human nervous system. In the next 30 years, buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. All of them can heal themselves at that time. As architects (建筑师)are racing to develop the world's tallest buildings, there will be a need for new kinds of elevators, through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.

By mid-century, scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities. By comparison,at present, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, measures 829. 8 metres high. As the future building can rise through the clouds,their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. In this way, people can choose any view as they like.

At height extremes, a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible, so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km and even as much as 30km, using carbon- based materials.

1. How will the heating system be controlled in the future?

A．Through the net.	B．Through mobiles.
C．Through sensors.	D．Through switches.

2. What might happen to the future buildings in a disaster?

A．They can recover by themselves.	B．They can seek help automatically.
C．They can transport people into space.	D．They can protect people against harm.

3. What's the possible advantage of Multi?

A．Seeing the beautiful scenery.	B．Allowing vehicles to travel into buildings.
C．Connecting the earth with the space.	D．Making it possible to build high buildings.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Be the Best Buildings with Carbon-based Materials

B．The Higher the Building, the Better

C．Smart Buildings in the Next 30 Years

D．More Functions, Less Cost

9 . 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。
