And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day.Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者预测未来手机可能会出现的功能。

2 . Forecasting the technological future is difficult at best. Back in the 1980s,the thought of carrying around a small, portable phone seemed to belong in the world of science fiction. Then in the 1990s, imagining a phone that would allow you to surf the Internet something that didn't even exist until 1990was unheard-of. Today, smartphones can surf the Web, run applications and play games, and those with a near field communication (NFC) chip can act as away to make purchases. Oh, and they can still make phone calls, too.

So what will phones look like in 2050? Based upon phone customer behavior, I imagine the future phones will rely more on combining our physical lives with our digital lives. They probably won't be similar to the ones we’re reusing now. They’ll be built into other devices and products. Imagine a pair of glasses that can display a digital overlay on top of your physical surroundings.

I don’t think video chat is taking off despite services like Skype and FaceTime. Rather, the trend seems to be toward asynchronous(非同步的)communication. That means the two or more people in a conversation complete а discussion over time.

We might even see the phone part of phones disappear. Recent phone customer behavior suggests that texting is a more popular way to communicate than telephone calls. Future phones will need a way to display messages but don’t necessarily include voice communication.

Since we’re talking about 2050 here, there’s even the possibility that research into brain-computer interfaces(脑机接口) will have reached a point in which we won’t need a physical screen or microphone at all. Electronics could be built into clothing. You’d link the devices to an interface connected to your brain and post messages just through thought. It’d be a form of telepathy(心灵感应).

But what do you think? Will we be wearing devices that let us communicate easily? Or will we be carrying around the iPhone 47 and answering texts between games of Angry Birds? Let us know your predictions.

1. What will future phones be like according to the author?
A.Texting may disappear.
B.NFC chips can be used for purchasing.
C.Phones may be built into other products.
D.Phones will combine our lives with our work.
2. With the development of brain-computer interfaces,_________.
A.telepathy between people may come true
B.we may send messages just through thought
C.clothing may be used as the screen of phones
D.phones can be connected directly to your brain
3. From the text, we know that__________.
A.people started surfing the Internet in the 1980s
B.we will be carrying around the iPhone 47 in 2050
C.the author’ s prediction about phones is based on phone customer behavior
D.the author is positive about the development of brain-computer interfaces

However,     9     his idea is turned into reality, humans have a long way to go. On the one hand, Venus is much     10     (hot)than the earth; on the other hand, there is only a tiny amount of water there.

5 . Your options for an ego - friendly home may seem somewhat limited now—solar panels, rain barrels, and maybe a small garden—but as the world of green technology advanced, there is a rise in the number of smart, ego-friendly home improvements. Some of them are available now.     1     Read on to see how you can improve your home now.

A home thermos tat (恒温器) can automatically adjust the temperature for you, making sure your house is warm when you get home and reducing energy waste during the day. For example, a thermos tat called Nest Learning Thermos tat learns your heating and cooling preference and automatically adjusts itself.     2     , without ever having to remember to adjust the I temperature.

Years ago, recycling paper and plastic was the most you could do to save resource.     3     recycling everything from Christmas lights to wine corks (瓶塞). And where do the post-recycling-process materials end up? Back in your home, in the form of recycled-paper counter tops (台面) and recycled plastic carpets, to name a few.

    4     . But if you're ready to take your heating, cooling and electricity system into the future, then you'll want to start with alternative new energy source, like solar panels or wind power. Solar panels are additions you can make to your own house, but if you don't have the time or money, you can also choose alternative energy sources through your regular supplier.

In 2009, The Wall Street Journal asked four architectural firms to imagine the future of green homes.     5     They designed what they call the “Incredible Edible House”, covered in green in the form of plants and gardens that provide food for the home owners, absorb heat to keep the interior cool, and are watered from a rooftop that catches rain.

A.There are quite a lot of benefits of green homes.
B.Others, like walls made of gardens, are a bit more futuristic
C.Traditional energy sources are still the norm in most houses
D.Nest users have saved 29 million in energy in less than two years
E.It will depend on the type of heating and cooling system in your home
F.Now, recycling factories have gone way beyond the traditional materials
G.And one of the groups, Rios Clementi Hale Studios, undertook the project

6 . 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 a 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 brain's 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 too: 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 a very long period of time it is likely that man's 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 us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

1. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.man's life will be different in the future
B.what man will look like in the future
C.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D.human's organs' functions will become weak
2. The change in man's size of forehead will probably be because________.
A.he makes use only 20% of the brain's 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
3. What will be true about a human being in the future?
A.He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B.He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
C.His fingers will grow weaker because he won't have to make use of them.
D.He will think and feel in a different way.
4. 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 degeneration (退化).
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life.
D.future life is always predictable.

7 . Is there a time when you are away from your hometown? When do you feel homesick the most? What do you often do to relieve your homesickness?

If the West has the apple, the East has the king of fruits: the enormously big mango. Called “aam” in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi, this tropical fruit traces its origins to South Asia. Urdu and Hindi literature are filled with references to this fruit that once filled the kitchens and gardens of emperors.

Everyone is crazy about mangoes during the summer months in South Asia. City streets in India are lined with vendors (小贩) selling all varieties of mangoes. Young and old bargain for better prices, mangoes can be sent as gifts, restaurants have special mango menu items and the fruit becomes a gesture of goodwill between India and Pakistan, with the choicest varieties sent across the border to celebrate each country’s independence days.

South Asians all over the world expect the coming of mango season. South Asian stores receive shipments (运输的货物) of the fruit, though they are limited in quality and quantity. Each year, I taste my mangoes, though I’m saddened that popular varieties aren’t easily available in Vancouver.

Mango memories take me back to the city I was born in: Rourkela in the eastern part of India. In late March, just as the days would start to become hot, I remember mango trees blooming (开花) with their fresh fragrance in the breeze as we biked to school. Come April, the trees would start bearing fruit. I remember the thrill of sneaking out (潜行,偷偷溜出) to collect raw mangoes, climbing onto the roof of our houses and eating them with pink salt and powdered red chilies (红辣椒粉) alongside my best friend.

Mango stories from my childhood are endless. But this summer in Vancouver, tired from the pandemic (疫情), I can’t help but remember my sweet mango memories. I realize that I need to wander the streets of my home country, to feel the intense heat of the summer months and soak in the country of my birth.

Instead, I am in a semi-lockdown state tasting mangoes, enjoying those I can find in Canada but missing the Indian varieties. This year, the enormously big mango has become a symbol of the sense of loss that each one of us is feeling.

1. What do we know about the mangoes in South Asia?
A.They are often given as gifts in India.
B.They are a symbol of independence in India.
C.In Pakistan, they are mainly grown on the borders.
D.They are very popular among average people in India.
2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “thrill” in paragraph 5?
A.Danger.B.Excitement.C.Anxiety.D.Sweat taste.
3. Which of the following is correct information?
A.Vancouver has more varieties of mangoes than South Asia.
B.The author works on transporting mangoes between Canada and India.
C.The author is familiar with the growth stages of mangoes in Vancouver.
D.In the author’s memory, mangoes blossom and bear fruit in March and April.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?
A.To illustrate why mangoes are popular in the East.
B.To provide proof for his experience in India and Canada.
C.To recall mango memories and express a longing to return home.
D.To analyze the negative impact of the pandemic on mango economy.

Your new smart TV might be your pride and joy today but they will pale into insignificance compared with the technology expected to fill homes by 2030.

And now experts at Rightmove have    1     what this home of the future will look like.

In just two years’ time, a temperature-changing mattress(床垫) will come into being that warms up in the winter and stays cool in the summer.Self-cleaning fabrics(布), truly waterproof materials and personal climate control are all being     2     now, and are also shown in the house in 2021.

Fast forward to 2023, a “smart window” appears in the bedroom that    3     as a screen; while in the bathroom, there’s a flexible     4    that’s also a shower curtain meaning users could check social media while washing in a shower that recycles water.

A smart mirror, which is actually a screen with an integrated computer, could even make polite outfit (服装)    5    to act like a personal stylist.

And by 2025 the experts predict there will be self-heating towels.

While in 2030 the home will seem like an incredibly hi-tech space, with    6     changes seen in every room.All homes will have an “AI console” in the living room, described as “the living brain of the modern home” that controls security, lighting and temperature, monitors energy usage and orders groceries, among other    7    .

Perhaps most excitingly, there’s a 3D printer that could be used to print everything from tools and electronics to food and clothing using just    8     material blocks and “recipes” downloaded from the Internet.

And the experts predict that by 2030, the machines will be as popular as televisions.Pocket-lint’s Stuart Miles said that every single electronic device in the home will be     9    to the Internet, including the doorbell.

Tim Danton, Editor of PC Pro magazine thinks smart phones will     10    to the point that we’ll be able to control nearly everything in the house with them--even if we’re not home

9 . What will the future be like? Will the world be greener and more beautiful? Will people live more happily and more conveniently? Probably people will lead a better life.

The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey arduous. But in several decades, the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population.

And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find jobs, so it will no longer be a problem. In the future, new information about timely events will be sent by humans or even robots to personal web tools through the Internet. That means only digital (数字化的) newspapers can be seen. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.

Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel. Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources (来源) of energy.

Schools will go electronic. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, who will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through emails. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

However, what can the future actually become? It remains to be seen.

1. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Possible.B.Necessary.C.Difficult.D.Boring.

10 . What will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts agree that the school will be electronic in the future.

“Present-day schools will no longer exist in the next century,” says a report in The Age. “At that time, future schools will become community-style centers, which run seven days a week, 24 hours a day.” At the same time,computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.

According to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.

The Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers. Teachers check messages and call students back on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons. Besides, all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers.

As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students' library. data storage as well as the bridge to a wider world. Technology has changed the emphasis of future learning. Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.

1. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?
A.Present-day schools are more practical than future schools.
B.Students can't have discussions in future schools.
C.Future schools will be open to students all the time.
D.The number of teachers in future schools will become larger.
2. What will the future school be like?
A.It has fewer desks and chairs.
B.Students study at a set time.
C.It has no teachers and books.
D.Students will go to actual school when necessary.
3. According to the passage, the Seashore Primary School________.
A.was built by the Education Department of Australia
B.is not a real school, but a virtual school at present
C.is very popular among teachers and students in Australia
D.is a successful example of the future school in the world
4. What's the author's attitude to the future school?
A.Objective.B.Supportive.C.Critical.D.Contradictory.
