Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
1.We can learn from the text that in the future__________.
A .people will never get old

【解析】
試題分析:文章大意:文章主要講述了未來在日常生活的的技術(shù)運(yùn)用。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章的第二段“The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.”可知答案。故C正確。
2.2】D段落大意題。根據(jù)文章第四段所講的,當(dāng)?shù)綇N房的時(shí)候,牛奶過期了,會(huì)有電子信息告訴你不能吃了。故D正確。

You probably hear it all the time — people telling you to “l(fā)earn English”. But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don’t need to bother learning a new language? Not at all. In fact, an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages, thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.
Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays-a late or absent development of talking. But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true, and reported that children who speak more than one language “show greater mental flexibility, a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory.” As the New York Times put it, “being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.”
In Europe, learning foreign languages is increasingly popular. A European report shows that from 2005-2010, the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5 percent to 79.2 percent. Most European kids start learning another language at age 6. In Belgium, it starts at 3. New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language, such as Mandarin or Greek, from the age of 7. The most popular foreign language for European kids was English, followed by German and French.
In comparison, Americans don’t give a fig for learning foreign languages. Compared to 50 percent of European adults who are bilingual, only 9 percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language, according to a 2011 report. American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school.
However, recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual. According to a USA Today chart released in July, 21 percent of US children speak another language at home. A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools. Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year. More people are learning Chinese, French and Spanish.
1.Psychologist used to believe that children who grow up bilingual ________.
A. are more flexible mentally
B. are slow in the development of talking
C. have a poorer working memory
D. are smarter in understanding abstract concept
2.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Americans are more interested in learning another language than Europeans
B. British kids began to learn foreign languages at the earliest age
C. 21% of US children study a foreign language in the school
D. not all schools in America are teaching foreign languages
3.What does the underlined phrase “give a fig for” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. attach importance to
B. have talent for
C. invest money in
D. have demand for
4.Which are the most popular foreign languages in the US?
A. Mandarin and Greek.
B. English, German and French.
C. Chinese, French and Spanish.
D. Chinese, German and Greek.
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Chinese is becoming more popular in western countries.
B. The benefits and advantages of growing up bilingual.
C. Western worlds are paying more attention to learning foreign languages.
D. The differences between bilingual education in Europe and USA.

In the eighteenth century one of the first modern economists, Adam Smith, thought that “ the whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country” provided revenue to “three different orders of people: those who live by rent, those who live by wages, and those who live by profit”. Each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the social structure more complicated.?
Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class. There were small-scale industrialists as well as large ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees, skilled and unskilled workers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. Farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups.?
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a person’s social position. Intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their working-class parents. But they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the “new rich.”?
They often sent their sons and daughters to special schools to acquire social training. Here their children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often found marriage partners from among them. In the same way, a thrifty, hardworking labourer, though not clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in the hope that he would move in a “white-collar” occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a move up in the social scale.?
In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the growth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook. The upper classes no longer are the sole, or even the main possessors of wealth, power and education, though inherited social position still carries considerable prestige.
1.What criterion did Adam Smith seem to go by in his classification of social groups?
A. The amount of wealth B. The amount of money
C. The social status D. The way of getting money
2.If you compare the first and second paragraph, what groups of people did Adam Smith leave out in his classification?
A. Officials and employees. B. Peasants and farmers.
C. Doctors and teachers. D. Tradesmen and landlords.
3.Who were the ‘new rich’ during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?
A. They were still the upper class people.
B. They were owners of large factories.
C. They were intelligent industrialists.
D. They were skilled workers who made their fortune.
4.According to the passage, what did those people do who intended to make their children move up in the social ladder?
A. They saved a lot of money for their children to receive higher education.
B. They tried to find marriage partners from the children of the upper class.
C. They made greater fortunes by their wits.
D. They worked even harder to acquire social training.
5. In the twentieth century class differences have been partly smoothed out by ____.
A. increased income and decreased taxation
B. taxation, social services and educational opportunities
C. education, the increase of income and industrial development
D. the decrease of the upper class population

Dear Alice,
I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested that I went to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for a month, visiting place of interest and practicing my English as well. We’ve been writing to each other for near a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I imagine you’ll be at vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps we could go out do some sightseeing together.
Lily
