                                                                   Man in the Future
         What will man be like in the future-in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess,
    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
    believe 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 till 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 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? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it
    does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的; 秃顶
    的).
         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 tells us about _____.
    A. how man's life will be in the future
    B. how future man will look like
    C. the fact that man's organs will function differently in the future
    D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time goes on
    2. There is evidence that _____.
    A. man has been growing taller over the past 500 years
    B. man has got stronger eyes than he ever had
    C. man's hair is getting thinner and thinner
    D. man's limbs (肢) are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them
    3. Man's forehead will grow larger because _____.
    A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity
    B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in proper time
    C. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago
    D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on
    4. Future man will probably _____.
    A. have smaller eyes
    B. have larger eyes
    C. see better
    D. have to wear better glasses
    5. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _____.

    第二部分：阅读理解（共25题，第一节每题2分，第二节每题1分）
    第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled（吼叫）the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel（一口）of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!
    Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
    The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.
    Next Aleck moved the dog’s “lips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.
    Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone（下颚骨）, it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.
    Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.
    After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”
    Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.
    Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.
    41．Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?
    A．His father had an influence on him.      
    B．He had a talent for giving speeches.
    C．He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.
    D．He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.
    42．Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because         .
    A．it liked being together with Aleck  B．it was given some food for that
    C．it would like to develop its potential      D．Aleck treated it like one of the family
    43．Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?
    A．Humorous.      B．Naughty.  C．Knowledgeable.       D．Curious.
    44．What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?
    A．His own hard work.         B．His neighbor’s help.
    C．His father’s encouragement.    D．The dog’s smartness.
