A
What will our world be like in 2050 Maybe no one knows. Because we never know what will happen in the future. But it's very interesting to make some predictions. Here are some exciting predictions.
Languages
English should still be the most popular language, but Chinese should be the second. Now, many foreign people are studying Chinese 11 their second language.
Water
12 water shortage will become one of the most serious problems in the world. So water-saving will become more and more important.
Education and Science
Students won't go to school. They will stay at home and study online. Students from all over the world may study together 13 the Internet. We may eat more genetically modified（转基因）food. And more robots will be around us. 14 will do lots of dangerous work.
Living
People will live and work under the sea. Perhaps there will be big towns, factories and farms under the sea, too. Everyone will carry a pocket computer. The computer will give people all the answers 15 their questions. Everyone will have telephones in the pockets, too, and they will be able to talk to their friends all over the world.
1. There are ______ kinds of predictions in the passage.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
2. The underlined word “shortage” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.
A. 短缺 B. 丰富 C. 清澈 D. 浑浊
3. Which is TRUE according to the passage
A. Chinese will be the most popular language.
B. Students will go to school in 2050.
C. People will live and work under the sea.
D. There will be no water problems in 2050.
4. What's the passage mainly about
A. The life in the future.
B. The school life in the future.
C. The language in the future.
D. The food in the future.
B
In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data（数据）.
The local governments（当地政府）collect lots of data. For example, there are sensors（传感器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as “smart city technology”. In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that can clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.
Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地）, there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.
Smart city technology will also bring many other benefits（益处）. For example, if water sensors find a water leak（泄露）in the pipes, the problem can be fixed right away, without your having to call the repairman.
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our present cities into the smart cities of the future. But it won't be long until more cities join the smart city revolution（革命）.
5. Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph
A. To show that cities are becoming much smarter.
B. To explain what “smart city technology” is.
C. To help people in cities live a more exciting life.
D. To describe the changes that will happen in the future.
6. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. How self-driving cars work.
B. Why self-driving cars are popular.
C. The advantages of self-driving cars.
D. The future of self-driving cars.
7. What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to
A. Self-driving taxis. B. Traffic jams.
C. Smart city data. D. Rubbish bins.
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. Smart city technology is being widely used now.
B. People will have to pay less money to live in a smart city.
C. More and more cities are becoming “smarter” and more efficient.
D. It will be very difficult to turn our present cities into smart cities.
C
What will the house of the future look like Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner Architects（建筑师）believe that they are all possible. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root”（根）of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil（土壤）to control the home's temperature.
The lizard（蜥蜴）house
Like a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture（建筑风格）. It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques（古老的技术）can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney（烟囱）can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
9. What is the best title of the passage
A. Green Houses of the Future
B. The Greener, the Better
C. How to Build Green Houses
D. Changes of the Houses
10. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home ______.
A. with the root of a leaf B. with the energy from sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground D. with gardens on its walls
11. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it's in the bright sun
A. It will take in light.
B. It will turn dark.
C. It will turn white.
D. It will produce energy.
12. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future ______.
A. will be more delicious
B. need more cooks
C. will be greener
D. will be easy to cook

With the development of technology, life in the future will be more comfortable and convenient.
