Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据对话内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
Jenney: I was reading a science magazine called Nature yesterday. It had some interesting articles about life 100 years from now. They talked of many kinds of medical technologies which would allow people to live to be 110 years old.
Janet: Oh, I wouldn’t like that at all. I am quiet satisfied to live for 70 or 80 years. I don’t want to live any longer than that. I hate to get so old that I could not look after myself. As long as I keep fit and healthy I am happy, but I don’t want to become old and useless to society.
Jenney: Well, the magazine also talked about other things that will happen in the future. For example, most people will not travel to work but will communicate online or through video or telephone. Most industries will be operated by robots and controlled by computers. Many people will spend less time at work, but they will spend time doing other things such as looking after their parents.
Janet: That’s sounds awful as well. I enjoy working and I want to continue to work throughout my life. I suppose this magazine also talked about technology in the home.
Jenney: Yes, it did. It said it would be possible in the future for everyone to have a home computer which would do everything for you. For example, it would prepare your food, play music and videos and make videophone calls for you. I would love that! It seems quiet certain that wealthy people could have these computers in just a few years’ time.
Janet: At the same time, the poor people will not have enough food to eat and there will not be enough medicine to keep them healthy. The wonderful future that new medicine and new technology will bring is only for rich people in the rich countries. What will happen to the rest of world’s population I hope 100 years from now we will have got rid of poverty (贫困). That is the biggest problem facing us in the 21st century.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
The Green Belt Movement is a community-based group in Kenya. It aims to help protect the environment, mainly through planting trees.
The Green Belt Movement was started in 1977 by Wangari Maathai. When Wangari started the Green Belt Movement, she thought much about both people and the environment. She thought that if people grew the trees themselves, it would help them to understand the environment and develop their local cultures.
Today, the Green Belt Movement works like this. Members form the movement go to communities to talk about tree planting and starting nurseries (苗圃). If the local people are interested, they can join the Movement as a group. When they join, they receive a lot of information about how to prepare the soil (土壤), and collect and grow seeds. When the people know what to do, they can collect seeds, plant them into seedlings (幼苗). When the seedlings are big enough, they will be planted on farms. The Green Belt Movement pays the nursery money for each seedling that is still alive after three months.
The Green Belt Movement now has over 6,000 community nurseries in Kenya, and many more in other African countries. Over the last 30 years, it has planted more than 30 millions trees in parks and on farms.
The Green Belt Movement also runs programs to help people start gardens and grow plants that are local to their area. This means that many communities can now take care of almost all their own food needs, and they can often make extra income as well.
In 2004, Wangari Maathai won the Nobel Peace Prize. Giving the prize to Wangari showed that peace doesn’t just mean stopping wars. It can also mean making the world a better place to live in.
