Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
Ray Kurzweil is an inventor and futurist with some interesting ideas about how humans will soon be able to live much longer than the average 78 years they do now.If Kurzweil is right,this is a question we’ll have to ask ourselves in the near future.
The first challenge is how to stop our bodies from getting old and dying.Kurzweil doesn’t see this as a problem.With gene (基因) technology,we’ll soon be able to turn off genes that cause aging and disease.This technology is getting cheaper and advancing at an incredible (难以置信的) rate.Kurzweil believes that from every year after 2023,we’ll be adding more than a year to the average life expectancy (寿命).He also expects that within the next 20 years,we will have nanobots in our blood.These tiny robots will keep our bodies healthy and free from diseases by finding damaged cells and destroying them.
Of course,if we’re all going to live longer,then there are going to be more of us on this already overcrowded earth.Many people think there are likely to be problems with resources such as food and energy.Kurzweil doesn’t agree.He says that the same technologies used to increase our life expectancy will also be used to help with food production and energy needs.For example,he says,sunlight can potentially give us 10,000 times more energy than we now use.We just need to develop the technology to get it and make it cheaper.There are also new technologies that can recycle water extremely cheaply.This means that dirty water can be made clean again at a very low cost.
But what are we going to do with all this extra time Won’t we all get bored Again,Kurzweil says no.For a start,we won’t be stuck in old bodies.We’ll stay young for years.This means we’ll be able to experiment with many more things than we can now.We’ll also see huge developments in virtual (虚拟的) reality technology that will keep us entertained for years.
The future,according to Ray Kurzweil,looks good,and we might just be around to see it.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕人类寿命被延长进行了探讨。
1.According to Kurzweil,the average life expectancy will increase greatly because of .
A.medical advances B.cheaper technology
C.richer natural resources D.improved living environments
解析 细节理解题。文章第二段讨论如何解决人类生老病死的问题,Kurzweil提到可通过改变促使人生老病死的基因以及利用微型机器人消除致病细胞来延长人类的寿命。故在Kurzweil看来,医学方面的发展可使人类的平均寿命大幅度提高。
√
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Life. B.Food.
C.Water. D.Sunlight.
解析 代词指代题。根据画线词前的“the same technologies...be used to help with...energy needs”和Kurzweil列举人类对太阳光的使用率可知,此处的it指的是可被人们充分利用的“太阳光”。
√
3.Which of the following does Kurzweil agree with
A.Food shortages will become more serious in the future.
B.Technology will play an important role in the future.
C.Robots will take the place of humans in the future.
D.Humans will live in a virtual world in the future.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二至第四段提到的科技对人类寿命、食物和能源以及人类精神世界的影响可知,科技在未来将起到举足轻重的作用。
√
4.What would be the best title for the text
A.Are robots about to rise
B.What will future life be like
C.Is it possible to live much longer

In the third century BC,the full stop (句号) or period 1._________ (introduce) by Greek literary critic Aristophanes of Byzantium.It is used 2. (show) the end of a sentence.However,the full stop has a different meaning to teenagers and those in their early 20s,3. interpret it as a sign of anger.And there is a reason for that.
The younger generation has grown up using the texts as their primary means of communication.When sending messages,they tend to break up their thoughts by sending each one as 4._______________ separate message,instead of using a full stop.They feel the full stop once 5. (use) in traditional texting is not essential at all because the message is now ended just by sending it.
David Crystal,one of the world’s leading language 6.___________ (expert),argues that the usage of full stops is being revised in a really fundamental way.In his book,he says that the full stop has become an emotion marker that 7. (remind) the receiver that the sender is angry or 8. (annoy).
Though the full stop has taken on a different meaning to the younger generation,specialists note that it is important to take language environment 9. account.For example,using full stops in an email is 10. (perfect) acceptable and is not considered rude.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了句号被用来表示一个句子的结束。但现在句号对青少年和20岁出头的年轻人来说其意义发生了变化,它被他们视为生气的标志。然而专家强调,在使用句号时要考虑语言环境。
1.was introduced [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处作谓语。根据空前的“In the third century BC”可知,此处需使用一般过去时;根据空后的“by”和语境可知,此处表被动,应用被动语态,又主语为单数,故填was introduced。]
2.to show [考查非谓语动词。此处表示“它被用来表示一个句子的结束”,表目的,故应使用不定式,故填to show。]
3.who [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指人,关系词在从句中作主语,故填who。]
4.a [考查冠词。根据空前的“each one”可知,此处表示“作为一个单独的信息”,表泛指,又separate的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。]
5.used [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词短语作定语,修饰the full stop。“the full stop”与所给词“use”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故填used。]
6.experts [考查名词的单复数。one of后加可数名词的复数形式,故填experts。]
7.reminds/will remind [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处作定语从句的谓语,空前的“that”是关系代词,指代先行词“an emotion marker”;此处可看作对客观存在的情况的表述,又that在此处表单数概念,故用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式;由于是信息,所以接收者了解发信人的情感是发出信息之后的事,故也可用一般将来时,故填reminds/will remind。]
8.annoyed [考查词性转换。根据空前的“the sender is angry or”可知,此处需使用形容词修饰人,表示人的感受,故填annoyed。]
9.into [考查介词。take sth into account意为“把……考虑进去”,为固定搭配,符合语境,故填into。]
10.perfectly [考查词性转换。修饰形容词需使用副词,故填perfectly。]

2.to show [考查非谓语动词。此处表示“它被用来表示一个句子的结束”,表目的,故应使用不定式,故填to show。]
3.who [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指人,关系词在从句中作主语,故填who。]
4.a [考查冠词。根据空前的“each one”可知,此处表示“作为一个单独的信息”,表泛指,又separate的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。]
5.used [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词短语作定语,修饰the full stop。“the full stop”与所给词“use”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故填used。]
6.experts [考查名词的单复数。one of后加可数名词的复数形式,故填experts。]
7.reminds/will remind [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处作定语从句的谓语,空前的“that”是关系代词,指代先行词“an emotion marker”;此处可看作对客观存在的情况的表述,又that在此处表单数概念,故用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式;由于是信息,所以接收者了解发信人的情感是发出信息之后的事,故也可用一般将来时,故填reminds/will remind。]
8.annoyed [考查词性转换。根据空前的“the sender is angry or”可知,此处需使用形容词修饰人,表示人的感受,故填annoyed。]
9.into [考查介词。take sth into account意为“把……考虑进去”,为固定搭配,符合语境,故填into。]
10.perfectly [考查词性转换。修饰形容词需使用副词,故填perfectly。]
