What's going to happen in the future Will robots control our planet Will computers become smarter than us Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Digital money
We need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.
Bionic (仿生的) eye
It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to "see" the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution (高清的) image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won't get distracted (分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future driver-less cars would be widely accepted.
_______has stopped using cash completely.
A.Sweden B. ATM C. BBC D.America
22 . What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money
A . We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
B . Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.
C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.
D. ATM cards are always popular.
23. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
B. Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.
C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.
24 . From the report, we can learn some information about .
A . culture and art
B . industry and farming
C . science and technology
D. traffic and shopping
25 . Which of the following can be predicted from the passage
A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.
B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.
C. We would live a hard life with digital money.
D. Robots would control the world.
(C)
Learning English can be a lot of fun. While learning English, we will meet with many interesting expressions.They sound enjoyable but are not.
“Face the music”is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a music show or concert. To face the music means to accept the results of an action that make you feel sad or uncomfortable.
My friend Lisa once asked Nick to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gave him the key and said,“Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance(保险).”
But Nick did not listen. He wanted to show off to his friends. He drove it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, he drove it into a tree. Certainly, the car got broken. When Lisa returned, Nick told her what he had done and "faced the music".
The “music”here is the results of Nick's action. It could be losing Lisa's friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music was, Nick must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as "face the music".
To "take your medicine"means to accept the results of something bad you have done. And if someone says,“You made your bed.Now lie in it.”He means you made the trouble and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。(5分)
26.English expressions that sound enjoyable always describe something nice.
27.“Face the music”has to do with music,such as a music show or concert.
28.Lisa told Nick not to drive her sports car while she was not at home.
29.To "take your medicine"means to try to stop the results of a bad action.
30.To someone who made trouble,we could say,"You made your bed.Now lie in it."
(D)
You could easily see sports in Chinese schools, such as running and soccer. But there is an interesting fact these days. 31 Students show great interests and they find great benefits (好处) from these special activities. You can have a try to make yourself healthy both mentally and physically.
Roller Skating (轮滑) is a good choice.
Roller skating, also known as rollerblading, is an enjoyable activity and a kind of exercise. You need to wear special skating shoes with wheels. 32 For example, it can help improve balance (平衡) and strengthen your muscles. But you are supposed to wear a proper helmet and some other things to keep safe.
33
Do you like dancing Have you ever heard of Break dancing It is made up of many different moves, such as footwork, handstands and head spins (旋转), you can free yourself from a day’s hard work.

Imagine you are walking through deep snow. As you walk, you leave footprints where you've been. That's what happens when using technology, such as computers, mobile phones and tablets. You leave your digital footprint and it will never disappear.
Here are reasons why your digital footprint should matter to you.
How people see you
Of course, you have nothing to hide, but if people get information about you, they might judge you from the information you have left online. For example, you make a bad joke online. Years later, it's found by the university you are applying to, and they don't think it's funny. Maybe they decide you are not the "right"kind of person for them.
Your private information
Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example,you might share your school reports with your parents, but keep them secret to your e-friends. If you share them on the Internet, they will not be a secret anymore. Therefore,to protect your privacy(隐私), remember to put out less information online.
Keeping your money safe
There are plenty of people looking at information about you, and some of them want to steal from you. So you shouldn't write bank details, card numbers or passwords in emails or text messages.
Overall, the message is: No one can go online without leaving his digital footprint—but with care, you can do it safely.
