What might the future be like? Here are some predictions(预言).
Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult. But 28 years later, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.
Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

解析
试题分析：这篇短文是关于未来的几个预言，这其中提到了到大约2020年的时候，春运将不再像现在这样紧张，国家会修建更多的铁路满足人们回家的需求；会有其他的能源，如煤、天然气、太阳能等来代替石油，未来在学校里电脑会有更大的用处，甚至会有机器人老师来上课。
小题1:细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第一句话Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult.可知，春节期间，有20亿多人需要同时回家，这就使得买票变得十分困难。故选C。A是圣诞节；B是国庆；D是中秋节。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章第二段China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020可知，到2020年中国计划修建更多的铁路以及一条快捷交通网络系统，这可以为90%的人服务。故选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据文章第三段Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.可知，煤、天然气、太阳能、核能甚至水有一天可以代替石油来作为能源。故我们可以看到没有提到是B wind，风，故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers可知，将来将会有机器人老师在电脑上给学生改作业，故选C。A选项说春运以后仍然是个问题，这与文章的叙述是不符的，这一问题将会得到很大的改善；B选项说90%的人口将会住在城市，这与文章的叙述不符；D选项说读者们可以面对面的讨论话题，这也雨文章的表述不符，将来人们可以通过电脑来交流。
小题5:段落大意题。浏览文章的最后一段我们可以看出，本段的中心句就是该段的第一句话，即Schools will go electronic.，学校将会电子化。这一段主要告诉我们在未来的学校中，电脑将会更广泛的使用，学生们将会利用网络学习，而且还会有机器人老师。故选A。 |
举一反三
If I ask you to shut your eyes and gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.
What You Need:
• a friend to help
• small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana
• small pieces of apple, raw(生的) potato, and onion
What You Do:
There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.
Experiment 1:
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.
Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.
Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.
Experiment 2:
While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don’t call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!
Experiment 3: (for the brave)
Take a piece of raw onion. You don’t have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.
The Science Secret
You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells,” and you need your nose to “taste” them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don’t like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won’t “taste” it at all.
小题1: According to this article, what could a reader know about food?| A．People hold their noses to eat onions. | B．If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples. | | C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food. | D．If you close your eyes, food will taste better. |
小题2:What is the most likely reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”?| A．You keep your eyes open. | B．You have to eat a raw onion. | | C．You have to squeeze your nose. | D．You do the experiment alone. |
小题3:What’s the best title of the passage?| A．Your Eyes Knows | B．Your Nose Knows | | C．Your Mouth Knows | D．Your Tongue Knows |

Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为...承担责任） serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don"t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don"t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms." They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份)． And best of all, it"s free.
