三、阅读理解
A
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 at 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 2025, 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. How do “you” look in the mirror in 2035
A. Young. B. Fat. C. Healthy. D. Excited.
( ) 2. We can learn from the text that in the future _________.
A. people will never get old B. everyone will look the same
C. red will be the most popular color D. clothes will be able to change their pattern
( ) 3. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Milk will be harmful to health.
B. More drinks will be available for sale.
C. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.
D. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.
( ) 4. Which of the following is mentioned in the text
A. Nothing can replace the Internet. B. Fridges will know what people need.
C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide. D. Cars will be able to drive automatically.
( ) 5. What is the text mainly about
A. Food and clothing in 2035. B. Future technology in everyday life.
C. Medical treatments of the future. D. The reason for the success of new technology.
B
A. The post office delivered the letter. B. It takes care of any international mail problem. C. The invention of the postage stamp was popular. D. Then the person in the other country paid for the rest of the trip. E. Finally, in 1874, a German organized the Universal Postal Union (UPU). F. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world
Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. __1_______ If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.
Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter. __2________ When people received letters, they didn't have to pay anything. The postage was prepaid.
Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly. But some countries didn't want to accept letters with stamps from others. __3_______ Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. __4_______
Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. __5_______, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue.
