阅读理解。                                                    Life in the twenty-first century
     The World Future Society is a group of people from more than 80 countries who are interested in how
modern technology is making our world better, and who write reports about how it will change our lives.
     The things that we will be able to do in the twenty-first century (since the year 2000) should help us live
better lives in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just
some of them, put into five groups.
     People
     People may live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind, deaf and
have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000 today to 2.2
million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a
company in a different country by using the Internet.
     Money
     Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products for
each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.
     Environment
     The technology for making energy from wind and the Sun is growing very quickly. In the future wind
and Sun energy could become much cheaper and many more countries could use it. This would be very
useful in poor countries. The air in big cities would also become much cleaner and healthier as a result.
     Society and culture
     The Internet will help to create more worldwide friendships. Families may spend more time together as
people will be able to do 24-hour online banking and shopping.
     Technology
     The new science of "nanotechnology" (very small robots or machines) will make all sorts of products
smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help
inside the human body by taking away fat. By 2012 people will be able to wear these small machines that
look like watches, which will give them lots of information about their body and keep them healthy. 1.What does the World Future Society do? A. Look at how technology will make people happy.
B. Look at how technology will change the world.
C. Make technology work better for themselves.

阅读理解。     If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
they"re not real stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station
(ISS 国际空间站).
     From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just
with their eyes. The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it. They think
that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
     When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with
many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The
ISS is the most ambitious (雄心勃勃) and expensive space program ever. Billions of dollars are being spent
on it every year.
    Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone (垫脚石) for future space exploration."The ISS will
help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the
earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
    China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. China sent some rice up to
the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
     The ISS is not finished yet. More than 100 parts need to be put on. Scientists hope it will be finished as
soon as possible. After it"s finished, more than 90% of the world"s population will be able to see the Space
Station. So keep looking up, and maybe you"ll see it get bigger. 1. The ISS is _______. A. a world power station
B. a man-made satellite
C. an outer space moving star
D. a stepping-stone to the sun 2. You can watch the International Space Station with your eyes _______. A. an hour before sunset
B. while flying on the earth
C. in a special room
D. from now till July 3. The ISS is in fact regarded as _______ for space exploration. A. a laboratory
B. a city
C. a living room
D. a museum 4. The passage tells us that _______. A. China belongs to the ISS
B. to build the ISS will cost less in the future
C. China did some research on wheat through the ISS
D. the best way to learn more about space is to live on the ISS

     Recently, a solar powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It had passed an
important test on the way to travel around the world.
     The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland (瑞士) at 45km an hour. It slowly rose above the
fields and into the sky.
     "There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly - never an airplane so big, so light, using
so little energy," said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
     During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.
     Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a
second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
     The plane flies at 70 km an hour. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. Piccard and pilot Andre
Borschberg will take the plane around the world. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days
at a time.
     "We want to fly it day and night with no fuel (燃料)," Piccard said. 1. How long did the first flight of the solar powered plane last? A. 45 minutes
B. 60 minutes
C. 70 minutes
D. 90 minutes 2. What"s the most special about the plane? A. It uses no fuel
B. It"s the fastest plane
C. It can fly highest
D. It"s the heaviest plane 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The plane goes much faster than a car
B. The plane took off at a speed of 45km an hour
C. Engineers plan to test a night flight before July
D. The plane will fly in the air or up to five days at a time 4. Which column (栏目) of a newspaper may the passage come from? A. Food and Health
B. Scientist and Technology
C. Culture and Communication
D. Sports and Entertainment

阅读理解。     Soon computers and other machines (机器) will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The
program works because everyone"s eyes are different. So in the future you won"t have to remember a number
when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You"ll just have to look at the machine and it
will be able to tell who you are.
     The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain,
Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology (技术) will take the place of all other ways of finding out who
people are.
     However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the
shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from
your voice or the mark made by your finger.
     Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don"t change as you get older, and don"t get
dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to
94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51%
correct at present. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition.
     In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile! 1. Where has the eye-recognition program already been tested in a few countries? In _______. A. shops and banks
B. shops and schools
C. banks and schools
D. schools and hospitals 2. How does the eye-recognition program work? A. You look at the machine and type a number.

D. You look at the machine. 3. We already have machines that can tell who you are from _______. A. your eyes or your smell
B. your voice or the mark made by your finger
C. your face or your voice
D. your face or your hand 4. Which of the following doesn"t belong to the advantages of the eye-recognition program? A. Your eyes don"t change as you get older.
B. Eyes don"t get dirty like hands or fingers.
C. Everyone"s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.
D. We can"t see anything without eyes. 5. What problem could there be with the eye-recognition program? A. Some eyes are the same.
