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 2 hours. 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 Tokyo in just 2 hours.
Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots — they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are devices(设备)that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.
Scientist will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?

举一反三
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image,word,idea or object,for example,a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches, wax,night,silence,etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Imagine that normal limitations don"t exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business,and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can"t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!
小题1:According to the passage, when we become adults, _________ .
A.most of us are no longer creative | B.we can still learn to be more creative |
C.we are not as imaginative as children | D.we are unwilling to be creative |
A.setting a goal is as simple as skiing |
B.new possibilities will soon appear |
C.December and January are the best months for skiing. |
D.you have every resource to achieve your goal |
A.dress yourself like them | B.think as they would |
C.do as they ask you to | D.put on their shoes |
A.what do I usually do | B.what did my boss tell me to do |
C.what are my customers" needs | D.how should I sell my products |
Laptops are advanced machines,and they can be very expensive. When we spend much money on something,we should take good care of it. I know some people who buy a new laptop every year. The reason they do this is that the old one either is broken or has some problems which cannot be fixed. Common problems are the breaking of the screen,the breaking of joints of the laptop,display problems,and keyboard problems.
Different problems will always come up with machines,and they cannot be avoided(避免).Old machines will always have to be replaced by new ones. However,if we are more careful and handle our laptops with care,they will last for a longer period of time,and they will perform better. This is not a hard thing to do,but it will greatly increase the life and performance of laptops.
小题1:According to the first paragraph,the laptop is a machine which________.
A.is being used by more and more people in the office |
B.will take the place of desktops sooner or later |
C.is specially designed for people who like playing computer games |
D.can be used for both work and entertainment purposes |
A.becoming smaller |
B.becoming more important |
C.becoming more popular |
D.becoming better |
A.huge display screen laptops are very cheap |
B.small display screen laptops are not on sale yet |
C.they can see their drawings more clearly |
D.they also want to play computer games |
A.That laptops can only be used for one year. |
B.That laptops are not as good as desktops. |
C.That the prices for laptops are too high. |
D.That laptops may have problems which cannot be fixed. |
Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves, bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks(树皮) of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.
小题1:This passage mainly talks about ______.
A.the change of color in locusts |
B.the protective coloration of animals and pests |
C.how a certain sea fish protects itself |
D.animals or pests can dye themselves different colors |
A.animals; they are powerful enough |
B.beasts; they are dangerous to their enemies |
C.pests; they take on the same colors as crops |
D.birds; they fly very fast |
A.can’t be seen | B.can be seen | C.can’t move | D.can’t change |
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. So they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations (翻译) of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.
小题1:Students who never use dictionary speak well but write poor, because_______
A.They can’t remember words. |
B.They may make mistakes. |
C.They are not interested in writing. |
D.They are afraid of writing. |
A.Students who never use dictionary can speak well and write well. |
B.Whatever new words you meet while reading, just look them up in the dictionary. |
C.Small two-language dictionaries are bad for learning English. |
D.An English word only has one translation. |
A.At the beginning of the reading |
B.At the end of the reading |
C.During the first reading |
D.After the first reading |
A.that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries |
B.what were the defects (缺点) of small two-language dictionaries |
C.why students should use large college edition dictionaries |
D.what dictionary students should choose and how to use it |
A.How to make good use of a dictionary. |
B.When to use a dictionary. |
C.How to improve spoken English. |
D.How to practice reading fast. |
Some people learn a second language easily. Others have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.
The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.
The second step is to practice your English. For example, write a diary every day. You will get used to writing it in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. Several weeks later, you will see that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.
The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it.
You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confident in yourself.
