3 . New Scientist magazine’s chief reporter Adam recently published “Net-zero living: how your day will look in a carbon-neutral (碳中和) world”. Here, he imagines what a typical day would be like in the future — through the eyes of Isla, a child in 2050.

Isla lives in the south of the United Kingdom and her life looks pretty much like life does today: she has a house, a car, a job, and a cup of tea in the morning. There are great forests, and giant machines sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It all sounds like a green and pleasant land, but it didn’t sound like the future to me.

It’s an interesting exercise, imagining what it will be like in about 30 years. I thought I would give it a try: here is some speculative fiction about Edie, living in Toronto, Canada in 2050.

Edie lives in the garage in an old house that is her apartment and workshop. She considers herself to be very lucky to have this garage in what was her grandparents’ house. The only people who live in houses these days either get the houses from their parents or are multi-millionaires from all over the world, desperate to move to Canada with its cooler climate and plentiful water and are able to afford the million-dollar immigrant visa fee.

Edie is lucky to be working. There are no office or industrial jobs anymore: Artificial Intelligence and robots took care of that. The few jobs left are in service, culture, craft, health care, or real estate (房地产). In fact, selling real estate has become the nation’s biggest industry.

There may be lots of electricity from wind and solar farms, but even running tiny heat pumps for cooling is really expensive at peak times. The streets are unpleasantly hot, so many people sleep through the midday.

Now Edie is checking the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another imported battery for her e-bike. If she doesn’t have enough then, she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive. She sets her alarm for 6:00 p.m. when the streets of Toronto will come alive again on this hot November day.

1. What does the author think of Isla’s life?

A．Desirable.	B．Unappealing.
C．Unachievable.	D．Exciting.

2. What will Toronto be like in 2050?

A．Many people will immigrate abroad.	B．Its climate will get colder and colder.
C．Electricity will be very cheap to use.	D．The house prices will be extremely high.

3. What might be Edie’s large concern?

A．The house problem.	B．Being out of work.
C．The balance of her bank account.	D．The energy consumption.

4. What is the purpose of this passage?

A．To point out Adam’s unreasonable thinking.

B．To compare the present life and the future life.

C．To imagine the life after reducing carbon emissions.

D．To raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.

10 . Travel is predicted to look extremely different in 2070.

Take airports for example, paperwork will be a thing of the past. Instead of paper passports,your information will be stored in the cloud. This type of technology won’t just include what we are familiar with today——like fingerprints or face scans—but also your heartbeat, as everyone’s heartbeat is unique.

There will be no need to check in. The facial recognition programme will instead be able to recognise you, match you with your booked flight and send messages to your phone as you walk through the airport without stopping.

Your bags, especially the heavy ones, will be sent directly from your train or taxi to the right plane. And that taxi will not be like the ones we know today. People will be expected to travel to the airport--and around their holiday destinations-in eVTOLs, which refers to électric air taxis that can take off and land without a runway.

As for the trouble of packing, 3D printers will provide perfect solutions. Simply provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly and, upon arrival, you will find a wardrobe(衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. When you leave, these clothes will be recycled and. reprinted for the next tourist. Not only will this solve the problem of packing, but also make holiday fashion more environment-friendly.

While the predictions might seem unbelievable now, you only have to look back 50 years to realize it’s all possible. Think back to 1973 when smartphones were just a wild dream. “Google” seemed like a made-up word then, and notebook computers were still almost years away from being invented. Similarly, when we look forward to the next 50 years, the possibilities for development in technology for travel are endless.

1. What can we learn about the check-in at the airport in 2070?

A．You’ll have to carry your paper passports.

B．It won’t need your heartbeat information.

C．You must stop to check the phone for boarding.

D．It is no longer needed because of the facial recognition programme.

2. When you get to the destination,       .

A．your bag will be sent to you by taxi

B．a body scan will work out your size

C．the clothes of your size will be ready for you

D．your packing may do harm to the environment

3. Why does the author mention 1973 in the last paragraph?

A．To prove the predictions are possible.

B．To show the inventions are necessary.

C．To list the achievements of the year.

D．To express the confidence for travel.

4. What’s the best title for the text?

A．A new type of air taxi.。	B．Prediction for future of travel.
C．The advantage of 3D prints.	D．The solution to future packing.
