If there is one thing I’m sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives，like genetic(基因) engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact，I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn’t happened.What it read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
1． What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future of the Newspaper
2． In the writer’s opinion，in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
D．What you are interested in.
3． From the passage，we can infer ________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspapers
D．the writer believes some media will die out
4． The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now？We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones！This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head，in particular，the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair？This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
1． The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．man’s life will be different in the future
B．future man will look quite different from us
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D．man’s organs’ functions will be on the wane
2． The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because ________.
A．he/she makes use only 20% of the brain’s capacity
B．his/her brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C．the other 80% of his/her brain will grow in due time
D．he/she will use his brain more and more as time goes on
3． Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.
D．He thinks and feels in different ways.
4． It is implied that ________.
A．human beings will become less attractive in the future
B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration
C．human beings hope for a change in the future life
D．future life is always predictable

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish_the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive，I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3∶00 pm.Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile，I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱)．I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
56．The author expected the train trip to be________.
A．adventurous B．pleasant
C．exciting D．dull
57．What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?
A．The friendly country people.
B．The mountains along the way.
C．The crowds of people in the streets.
D．The simple lunch served on the train.
58．Which of the following words can best take the place of the underlined word “relish” in the
second paragraph?
A．Choose. B．Enjoy.
C．Prepare for. D．Carry on.
59．What can we learn from the story?

B．Pleasure of living in the country.
C．Reading gives people delight.
D．Smiles brighten people up.
B
A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant，African forest elephant，and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石)，mammoths and mastodons，the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants.They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years.The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been debated in the scientific community that the two might be separate species，but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously，many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species，despite the elephants’significant size differences.The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres.The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons，roughly double the weight of the forest elephant.But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species.However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca，assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois，said，“We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes.Since 1950，all African elephants have been conserved as one species.Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals，the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先) for conservation purposes.”
60．One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.
A．the Asian elephant B．the forest elephant
C．the savanna elephant D．the mastodon elephant
61．The researchers’ conclusion was based on a study of the African elephants’ ________.
A．DNA B．height C．weight D．population
62．What are Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?
A．The conservation of African elephants.
B．The purpose of studying African elephants.
C．The way to divide African elephants into two units.
D．The reason for the distinction of African elephants.
63．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Naturalists’ Beliefs about Elephants
B．Amazing Experiments about Elephants
C．An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D．A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants
C
My house is made out of wood，glass and stone.It is also made out of software.
If you come to visit，you’ll probably be surprised when you come in.Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码) to wear.This PIN tells the house who and where you are.The house uses this information to give you what you need.When it’s dark outside，the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you，and then turns them off as you walk away from them.Music moves with you too.If the house knows your favorite music，it plays it.The music seems to be everywhere，but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music.If you get a telephone call，only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course，you are also able to tell the house if you want something.There is a home control console(控制台)，a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today.If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket.If I give you my car keys，you can use my car.The car works for you because you have the keys.My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.
I like to try new ideas.I know that some of my ideas will work better than others.But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new，and ask myself instead，“How will I live without them？”
64．What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．How to develop a new system.
B．The fun_ction of the PIN.
C．A home for the future.
D．Easy life in the future.
65．What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?
A．To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B．To let readers know how special his house is.
C．To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D．To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
66．The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because ________.
A．it has been controlled by computers
B．you can make a telephone call anywhere
C．it has your favorite music following you
D．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
67．What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?
A．An IT expert. B．A famous doctor.
C．An idealist. D．An experienced teacher.
D
Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young(less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs)，it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However，it wasn’t all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behaviour.They are learning how to talk each other’s language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’，and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’．
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn how to read each other’s body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don’t get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance.
68．What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A．They eat and sleep together.
B．They observe each other’s behaviours.
C．They learn to speak each other’s language.
D．They know something from each other’s voices.
69．It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs________.
A．have common interests
B．are less different than we thought
C．have a common body language
D．are less intelligent than we expected
70．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A．We should learn to live in harmony.
B．We should know more about animals.
C．We should live in peace with animals.
D．We should learn more body languages.

Perhaps we will be able to live on the moon.And some will live under the sea.It will be very common to go shopping and see a doctor at home on the Internet.There will be more kinds of TV programs for us to choose from.Besides，more children will choose to study at home on the computer.Also，robots will do housework for us if we don’t want to do it.
In addition，we will have healthier food.Pollution will get controlled.Both water and the sky will become cleaner.People will have more free time.They will be able to go to other stars on holiday.They will even live with people from other stars.
