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。

Everyone     1     (complain) about being stuck in traffic. It is quite possible that the future city will have no traffic at all. H.G Wells, in his book The Sleeper Awakes, tells something about the traffic. In the streets of that future London there will be no vehicles. The city     2     (provide) with moving roads. One side of the road travels     3     one direction; the other side moves the opposite way. Anyone who wants to go to another part of the city steps on     4     moving “way” and sits on one of the seats until he arrives. He has none of the troubles,     5     a private car brings with it: whether there is enough petrol, whether the tires are all right, where to park it. The moving way is always at his service, always moving     6     (silent) along, always ready     7     (take) him to his destination. That city of the future has no traffic jams.

To link up the     8     (vary) cities, vehicles driven by atomic power will pass along highways     9     (divide) into two main groups of lanes. Each group will consist of several lanes, some for slow traffic, some for fast. Crossroads will not exist on these highways, but will be replaced by bridges and junctions (交叉口). Where these highways enter     10     (city), ports and other built-up areas, they will pass through underground tunnels.

4 . Life in the future will be different from the life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. And most of them will live longer than people now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. 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 fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a big problem.
