Imagine it's 2035.You have a good job,a big family and you're about 40 years old.Welcome to your future life.

Getting ready for work,you pause in front of the mirror.“Turn red,” you say.Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red.Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color.Looking into the mirror,you find it hard to believe that you are 40.You look much younger.With amazing advances in medicine,people in your generation may live to be 150 years old.You're not even middle­aged.

As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal(谷类食物) into a bowl,you hear: “To lose weight,you shouldn't eat that,” from your shoes.They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details.You decide to listen to your shoes.“Kitchen,what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.

“Ready for your trip to space.” You ask your son and daughter.Before the 21st century only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them.Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation.Your best friend even works in space.Handing your children three strawberries each,you add,“The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advice,vaccination shots(疫苗注射) are a thing of the past.Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines.With the berries in their mouths,the kids head for the front door.

It's time for you to go to work.Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors.“My office.Autopilot.” You command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your e­newspaper.The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.Looking through the pages,you watch the news as video films rather than read it.

20.What changes the color of your shirt?

A.The mirror. 

B.The shirt itself.

C.The counter. 

D.The medicine.

21.How do the shoes know that you shouldn't eat breakfast cereal?

A.By pouring breakfast cereal into a bowl.

B.By listening to the doctor's advice.

C.By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.

D.By checking the nutrition details of the food.

22.How is the text organized?

A.In order of time.

B.In order of character.

C.In order of preference.

D.In order of importance.

本文介绍了2035年的生活。

20.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color.”可知,是衬衫自己改变颜色的。

21.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的“…to find out the nutrition details.”可得知答案。

22.A 推理判断题。根据文中的“Getting ready for work”“As you go into the kitchen”“Ready for your trip to space.”“It's time for you to go to work.”可推知这篇文章是按照时间顺序来组织的。

I’d like to share the strangest of the strange moments I’ve had here.

Back in 2003 I had a pet rabbit named Alaska.Due to the rules the landlord had set,he had to be kept in the basement(地下室).One night I went downstairs to feed him.Keep in mind I’ve always thought the basement was frightening.As I was facing his cage and putting the bowl of water inside,a big shadow appeared behind me,as if a big,tall man were standing behind me.I turned around and nobody was there,but I got the distinct(清晰的)feeling that I was being watched.I basically dropped the water bowl and ran upstairs shouting for my mom.Ever since then I can’t go down there alone.

Once I was trying to get to sleep,and I slept with the lights off.All of sudden I wanted to leave the room eagerly,but I couldn’t get out of my bed,I was too scared.The feeling of someone looking closely at me was so upset,I was physically afraid to move or breathe.I opened my curtains to let the street light in,thinking the light would help me feel better to move.That did nothing.I must have sat there on my bed for about fifteen minutes before I got up.I didn’t sleep in there that night.I’ve never felt anything so upset!

Then there are all the little things,like seeing things in the comer of my eye,hearing doors open or close when I’m home alone,and the feeling of being watched.Once when my sister wasn’t home(we share a room)I heard someone breathing from her bed and heard the sheets rustle(沙沙声).Last week,I felt someone patting me in the shoulder when I was alone in my room.Sometimes I’ll be looking something and I’ll see one or more contorted(扭曲的),angry faces.

I realize that when one is looking for something to happen they can make things happen or imagine it.These are the moments in which I know nothing was imagined,so I wanted to share them and get your opinions.Thanks so much.

Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions(财产) and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.
Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me". Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.
Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

We don’t know how different our life will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will make new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today-we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will use solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.

Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.

B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. computers will do all the things for human beings

B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other

C. machines like computers and robots will help people a lot

D. how people will use robots to do the housework

3.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A. The relationship between people will be more important than that of today.

B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.

D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
