         Try imagining what the world will be like in the year 3000. Some serious thinkers are starting to imagine just that.
         Bart: I don't know that present-day electronic chips are, but some sort of chips - I'd guess maybe
    plastic. Our three-pound brain is definitely a wonder, perhaps the greatest wonder of natural biology. In
    this coming century, we'll be re-engineering the brain a piece at a time, first with implants (植入物) and
    finally engineering an complete replacement. There's no question that in the distant future we'll play the
    music of the mind on instruments different from the current ones. So, yes, chips are our destiny (命运).
         Edward: In 3000 perhaps the biggest difference from today is that there will be no more men. Females can have female children, without any need for men. In about ten years, we'll find the cocktail that women can take to have female children. There'll be no need for men at all.
         Greg: What is Heaven? Heaven's a place where you can create worlds at will, and the ideal Heaven is where you run the whole thing yourself. The current means of getting to Heaven involve various
    supernatural systems for which, at this point, there's no scientific evidence. So I think we can reduce
    Heaven to an engineering project which we're doing. The demand for Heaven is great-witness the desire of every human heart, from the people who built the ancient pyramids to modern society, to live beyond one's given time. Our plan is to change human consciousness from the brain to bits of information in a computer
    chip, or some other kind of computational medium, so that just by thinking we'll be able to create our own personal world. And I think the first stage of Heaven will be the feeling world, and beyond that I think we'd find a higher, more spiritual plane.
    1. According to Bart, the brain may be the greatest wonder in the future because _____.
    A. it may weigh as much as 3 pounds  
    B. it may be driven by plastic chips
    C. it may be replaced by robots    
    D. it may play the music of the mind
    2. What does Bart refer to by saying "chips are our destiny"?
    A. Chips are our last choice in the future.
    B. Chips are on the way to controlling mind.
    C. Chips are the production of future technology.
    D. Chips are the implants in the distant future.
    3. In 3000, what about the population of the world?
    A. It will be all made up of females.  
    B. It will be larger than that of present.
    C. It will mainly consists of children.
    D. It will be reduced by a drink of cocktail.
    4. According to Greg, Heaven in the future is a place where _____.
    A. your scientific idea exists    
    B. you have once traveled
    C. your own thought travels  
    D. your material world is formed

    　　If you dream of going somewhere warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-566, has temperatures of more than F. “This is the hottest planet we know about. ” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets (细沫) . ”

    　　The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way (银河) but it's not in our solar (太阳的) .The new planet moves around a star much like our sun , however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called “ transit technique. ” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim(变暗) . Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth.”says Sasselov.

    1．We can infer from the passage that ________.

    [　　]

    A．there is iron on the planet

    B．we could go to the new planet in winter

    C．the star would block our view of the new planet

    D．scientists are studying the weather on the new planet

    2．The“transit technique”can ________.

    [　　]

    A．help dim the light of a star

    B．help scientists with a searchlight

    C．help discover a bee on the planet

    D．help find a planet moving before its star
