6.By 2050---
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels will have disappeared.Instead,people will choose a program from a"menu"and a computer will send the program directly to the television.Today,we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away.By 2050,music,films,programs,newspapers,and books will come to us by computer.
Cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents.Today,many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2hours.Today,the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again.By 2050,space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Beijing in just two hours.
Medical technology will have conquered(征服)many diseases.Today there are electronic devices (装置)that connect directly to the brain to help people hear.By 2050,we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see ad hear again.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes(基因).Scientists have already produced clones(克隆) of animals.By 2050,scientists will be able to produce clones of people,and decide how they look,how they behave and how much intelligence(智力) they have.Scientists will be able to do these things---but should they?

分析 本文讲的是到2050年科技的发展方向.
解答 58:D推理判断题 根据第一段Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.说到的D项要到2050年才能实现,因此选D.
59:D推理判断题 根据文章理解Medical technology will have conquered(征服)many diseases可知医疗水平到2050将会有很大提升.
60:C推理判断题 根据最后一段Scientists will be able to do these things---but should they中的反问句可知,他对科学家的目的提出疑问了
