Scientists at Stanford University have developed a new material (材料) these days. It can move heat out of buildings and into space. The scientists say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material can be placed on the roof like solar panels (太阳能电池板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared radiation (红外辐射).
Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a kind of material that is like sand.The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect (反射) the light from the sun. Both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space.
The material doesn't get heated up by the sun because it can cool itself. So the panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5 ℃ below the temperature outside.
Mr.Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent into space without warming the air. He also says buildings in developing countries that do not have air conditioning can use the panels.
Scientists say the big problem is developing an actual cooling system by using the high-tech panels. Nowadays, as much as 15% of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems. Scientists believe the cooling system can be developed in the next three to five years.
It can greatly help save the energy.
( )59.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)
A.The building. B.The sun.
C.The material. D.The space.
( )60.If it's 35 ℃ outside, it will be about in the building with the new panels.
A.25 ℃ B.30 ℃ C.35 ℃ D.40 ℃
( )61.What can we know from the passage
A.The new material won't warm the air when sending heat into space.
B.The panels have sand to help take heat out of buildings.
C.It needs more energy to power the new cooling system than air conditioning.
D.Now people in the US can use the new cooling system to cool their houses.
( )62.What is the passage mainly about
A.A new kind of solar panel.
B.A new kind of space material.
C.A new kind of cooling material.
D.A new kind of energy.

Hi! I am Mike. I think our life will change (改变) a lot in the future. In 50 years, many things will be better than they are now. For example, we won't have to clean the rooms, because we will have robots in our homes. With the help of robots, we will have clean and comfortable homes to live in. Also, we won't have to do the dishes. Kitchen robots will check our body and decided what food we need to have. Then they will make delicious and healthy food for us. Robots will do lots of work, so we will have more free time. Traveling will be more popular. We will travel around the world comfortably and cheaply. Maybe some people will spend their vacations in space stations.
However, some things will get even worse. There will be more pollution because people use too many cars. Also, there are fewer trees because people will cut down too many trees to build houses and make paper. Maybe people will have to live on other planets. So everyone should play a part in saving the earth from now on.
( )63.What will robots help us at home according to the passage
A.Cook food. B.Wash clothes.
C.Look after the old. D.Walk dogs.

People began to make robots about several hundred years ago. In the past, some of the early ones looked like animals or humans. However, they couldn't talk and were pretty dumb (笨的). They worked like clocks and did the same things over and over again.
Now modern robots don't always look like people. Some are like big machines, others are nothing but long arms attached to boxy (四四方方的) bodies. However, modern robots are smart. Some can solve problems on their own. Their brains are computers and their eyes are sensors (传感器).Motors (发动机) help them move.
In the future,robots will learn from their mistakes more than they do now.They will be smarter.It's possible that we will have robot judges, robot household workers, and robot factory workers.Robots will help people to do more things.

People depend on their robots to do lots of things, for example, babysitting, cooking, doing chores and taking their dogs for a walk. Robots have to obey (听从) human's orders, because their designers make them do so. A police officer called Spooner hates robots. He doesn't think humans can get on well with their robots at all! But the scientist Susan has different opinions. Susan works on robots' mind and she thinks one day robots will become more powerful (强大的) than humans and help humans to make progress (进步).
When Spooner and Susan work together, they find that something is wrong with the world's robots. A few robots have their own thoughts and they're trying to get out of humans' control (控制)! Of course, these robots' dream doesn't come true. Humans work hard to control their robots again and they succeed at last.

A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you'll see that the doors are usually much lower (较低的) than they are today. Why Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot.
Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technology, and it is changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.
In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we will grow taller.
Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won't do a lot of physical work.
We will use our feet less and our hands more (think about computers). So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. What about the mouth It'll get smaller, because we needn't talk so much with the help of technology.

Our Future Life
With the development of science and technology, people's lives will change a lot in the future.
In the future, the traffic will not be heavy any more because people can go out by flying motorbikes. More and more people will go on a vacation to the moon by spaceship.
Houses, hospitals, schools will be built on other planets, too. People will do less work in the future. Robots will do the dangerous and hard work for people.
To have a better life in the future, I'm going to study harder to get more knowledge. At the same time, I also want to have more time for sports to have a healthier body. I believe our life will be better and better.
