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 a relatively 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.
【解题导语】 本文对未来人会变成什么样子进行了分析和想象。
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
解析：选B 主旨大意题。由第一段可知本文主要介绍了未来人类的外貌可能会出现的变化。
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/her 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.
解析：选A 正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失，因为“...it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.”，即头发失去作用。
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

Hybrid cars (混合动力车) are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery (电池) electric motor to provide electric power.
There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic lights, keeping only the electric engine running.
Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.
In 1928, Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don't have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了以汽油和电为动力的混合动力车，它是一种节约能源的汽车。
1．Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars ________.
A．have large engines to deal with accelerating
B．have conventional brakes to slow down the car
C．have no energy consumption when stopping
D．have electric power to assist when needed
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Hybrid cars have much smaller...use less petrol.”可知，混合动力车必要时有电力支持，所以消耗较少的能源。
2．In regenerative braking，________.
A．the conventional brakes are used to slow down the car
B．energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the battery
C．the battery charges itself when the car is accelerating
D．the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，混合动力车用电动马达减速而不是用传统的刹车，电动马达降低车速时产生的电能会被自动储存在电池里，而传统汽车浪费了刹车时产生的能量，由此可知B项正确。
3．From the last paragraph we can learn that hybrid cars________.
A．will gain more popularity
B．were first available in the USA
C．free their owners from tax
D．are free to park anywhere in the city
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As they use less fuel，hybrid cars...for free.”可推知，使用混合动力车有很多好处，所以混合动力车会很受欢迎。

Members of the International Space Station Expedition 44 crew are undertaking a first for humanity: tucking into leafy greens grown right there on the space station, in Zero-G.
The orbiting laboratory has been hosting the station's “Veg-01” experiments in growing vegetables in space since May 2014. These plants were grown and matured over a period of 33 days aboard the ISS, and sent back to Earth for food safety testing.
The second batch of seeds, which had been on board the ISS for 15 months, were planted on July 8,2015, and were again grown over a period of 33 days. It is this second batch that will be munched by the crew on August 10.
NASA researchers are hoping to determine whether these fresh vegetables have an impact on the physical and psychological health of the astronauts. Having fresh food like these available in space could have a positive impact on people's moods and could also provide some protection against radiation in space.
This is important groundwork, not just for the future of the ISS, which would potentially require fewer supply missions if astronauts could grow their own food, but also for NASA's manned Journey to Mars program, scheduled to take place in the 2030s and which would see astronauts spend at least a year on a trip to the Red Planet.
Earth won't be able to send resupply shuttles (再补给航天飞机) to the Mars crew, so they will need to be as self-sufficient as possible. And, if their mental health can be improved, both by fresh vegetables and the presence of plants, which can boost mood levels, so_much_the_better.
“The farther and longer humans go away from Earth, the greater the need to be able to grow plants for food, atmosphere recycling and psychological benefits. I think that plant systems will become important components of any long-duration exploration scenario，” said NASA payload scientist Gioia Massa.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了科技进步的一大成果：宇航员将在太空吃上自己栽种的蔬菜。
5．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Crew in Zero-G are eating leafy greens grown by themselves.
B．“Veg-01”experiments have been finished.
C．Plants were grown and matured for about two months aboard the ISS.
D．The first plants grown aboard the ISS were tested for safety.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，第一批在太空站中栽种的蔬菜接受了安全监测。
6．What can we learn about Journey to Mars program?
A．It takes astronauts no more than a year to the Mars.
B．Growing vegetables aboard plays an important part in the Mars.
C Resupply shuttles will be sent to the Mars in future.
D．It is to take place in 2030.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段及第四段可知新鲜蔬菜对于太空旅行及航天员意义重大。
7．What's the meaning of the underlined part in the sixth paragraph?
A．The more fresh vegetables，the better we live.
B．Fresh vegetables are good for astronauts.
C．More fresh vegetables will be grown in space.
D．It's better to store enough fresh vegetables for astronauts.
解析：选B 逻辑推理题。上句提到新鲜的蔬菜和绿色植物的出现对航天员的健康是有益的。
8．What's the best title for this passage?
A．Leafy greens will be grown on the moon
B．The Mars crew are testing growing vegetables in space
C．Astronauts eat lettuce grown in space
D．The health of the astronauts is becoming a great concern
解析：选C 标题归纳题。本文介绍了科技进步的一大成果：宇航员将在太空吃上自己栽种的蔬菜。

Should people be allowed to take
photos during concerts?
Smartphones, tablet computers and digital cameras (数码相机) are now so common that some of us make a record of almost everything we do. Some would say that we are recording our lives more than we are living them.
Two weeks ago, at a concert in Atlanta, singer Beyoncé Knowles criticized a fan in the front row. __1__ Knowles was trying to get the audience to sing with her. She told the fan, “You can't even sing because you're too busy taping. I'm right in your face! You've got to seize this moment! __2__”
Other singers have also made clear requests to fans to experience their shows rather than photograph them.
Are these efforts really about the music? __3__ Knowles in fact banned concert photographers on her current tour because of unflattering (有损形象的) photos taken during her performance at this year's Super Bowl.
Usually, it's record companies and the artists' publicists who ban photographers. The musicians themselves are often grateful for any publicity they get through social media. Unless their concert is filmed for television or DVD, it cannot be experienced by anyone who isn't there.
Enthusiastic photographers complain that their full-size digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are usually banned. __4__
Some fans complain because they go to concerts to see and hear the artists, not to film them. __5__ So anyone taking any sort of photos is probably blocking someone's view. For this reason, some artists allow photography during the first three songs, then ask everyone to put their phones and cameras away.
A．Put that camera down!
B．The man，like many others，was filming the event.
C．A good view of the stage is hard to get at any concert.
D．More and more musicians are really interested in controlling their image.
E．Knowles once asked the audience to film the whole concert and upload it.
F．And their photos are just good enough to be bought at a lower-than-market price.
G．They can't understand why hundreds of people are allowed to take very bad photos with their phones.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要议论了是否应该允许人们在听演唱会时拍照。
1．解析：选B 由该段中的“Beyoncé Knowles criticized a fan”和“You can't even sing because you're too busy taping.”可知，坐在前排的歌迷正在用相机录演唱会的现场。
2．解析：选A 由上文中的criticized和“Knowles was trying to get the audience to sing with her”以及该空前她说的话可知，A项“把照相机放下”符合此处语境。
3．解析：选D 由该空前的“Are these efforts really about the music？”和该空后的“Knowles in fact banned concert photographers...because of unflattering(有损形象的) photos taken during her performance”可知，演唱者真正关心的是如何保护他们的形象。
4．解析：选G 由该空前的描述可知，摄影爱好者抱怨自己的数码单镜反光相机被禁止在演唱会拍摄，他们也难以理解为什么允许人们用手机拍摄劣质的照片。
5．解析：选C 由该空前的“they go to concerts to see and hear the artists, not to film them”和该空后的“So anyone taking any sort of photos is probably blocking someone's view.”可知，C项内容“在音乐会上很难清楚地看到舞台上的表演”符合此处语境。

A
We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may drive your car in the near future. Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission (任务) to explore the red planet. Robots also help people in natural disasters. They are used in search and rescue operations following an earthquake or a nuclear accident.
In most cases, robots are sent to places considered to be unsafe. The problem is that all of those types of situations are extremely unpredictable and unfriendly. And it is very likely that robots in those situations become damaged. When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually finds the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability. Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in the same way.
Jeff Clune, a computer scientist, is developing the latest and advanced technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. He wants the machines to have the ability to analyze the cause and change to continue performing until they can be repaired.
The researchers have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under complicated conditions. They programmed a hexapod robot with six legs and a robotic arm. Their findings were reported in the journal Nature. Once the hexapod robots become damaged, they can use their own knowledge of how their body works to find a solution.
The hexapod robots are also programmed with childlike curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for the answers. The whole process just takes about a minute for the robots to overcome the damage and continue to carry out the task.
【解题导语】 如今，机器人无处不在，它们被应用于各个领域。科学家们正在研发一种新的技术，使机器人遭到损坏时能够迅速做出改变并继续执行任务。

B
It's 8 a．m., Tuesday, Nov. 18,2028, and you are headed for a business appointment 300 miles away. You step into your circle, two-passenger air-cushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. Hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paper which is flashed on a flat TV screen over the car's dashboard. Tapping a button changes the page.
The car speeds up to 150 mph in the city's countryside，and then hits 250 mph in less built-up areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. You fly past a string of cities, many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. Traffic is heavy, typically, but there's no need to worry. The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. There hasn't been an accident since the system began.
Suddenly your TV phone buzzes. A business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is putting out for sports boats. You reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencil-thin infrared flashlight (红外线闪光灯) on what looks like a TV screen lining the back of the case. The diagram is sent to a similar screen in your partner's office, 200 miles away. He presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. He wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.
Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car slows down and heads for an outer-core office building where you'll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return. Private cars aren't allowed inside most city cores. Moving sidewalks and electrams (电车) carry the public from one location to another.
【解题导语】 本文主要通过描述一个人开车上班，以及途中各种先进技术的使用等介绍了在2028年未来生活的情况。
5．The traffic computer in your car can ________.
A．keep your car at a safe distance from other cars
B．keep your car at the same speed in different situations
C．keep your car receiving signals of TV programs
D．keep your car driving avoiding heavy traffic
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段的“The traffic computer，which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities，keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart.”可知，交通电脑可以使汽车之间的距离相隔50码(约46米)，使汽车保持安全的距离。
6．Why are the cities covered by the new domes?
A．To prevent people from being wet in the rain.
B．To stop the climate of the cities changing violently all year.
C．To protect the travelers against the strong sunshine.
D．To make the city have the same weather all year.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“many of them covered by the new domes(圆屋顶)that keep them evenly climatized all year round”可知，城市上空的圆屋顶的目的是保持城市的气候变化不剧烈，比较均匀，所以选B。
7．What will the city be like in the future?
A．No accidents will happen because of heavy traffic.
B．The sidewalk can move itself up and down.
C．The road is built with the plastic material.
D．The car parks itself on a dome to wait for your return.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“There hasn't been an accident since the system began.”可知A项错误；由最后一段最后一句“Moving sidewalks and electrams(电车)carry the public from one location to another.”可知B项错误；由最后一段中的“the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return”可知D项错误。从第二段的“driving over the smooth plastic road”可知道路是塑料建造的。故选C项。
8．The third paragraph mainly tells ________.
A．you are lucky to sell products of your company
B．you receive best wishes from your business partner
C．you can do business with a newly invented pencil
D．you can do business even on the road in the future
解析：选D 段落大意题。本段讲述了你在路上处理公司业务，从而达成交易的过程。由此可知本段主要是说即使在路上，由于具有先进的技术，你也可以做生意。

One possible version：
The House in the Future
With_the_development_of_science_and_technology,_the_house_in_the_future_will be smart in many aspects.
To begin with, the house will be equipped with a central nervous system that can sense and analyze all appliances and systems, making adjustments according to changes of the surroundings. For example, it will send us messages to inform us we lack daily goods and even order them for us. Besides, the moment it senses its owner is less motivated, the house can adjust itself to make conditions comfortable. In addition, a solar powered unit will recycle water and turn waste into fuel . This is of great benefit to the environment.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that the house in the future will offer every convenience to us.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.
On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white-collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.
Buried with e-mails
Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.
Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting (分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.
Solution? Not yet
Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets (小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.

The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We live about 5 miles away from the Canadian border. My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback (有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.
The time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.
Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little grossed_out because the camels seemed to froth (吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber (口水) all over the car and us.
It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now that I am grown-up and have a son, I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies，” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。人工智能改变商业结构，专家称约一半的职业到2025年将会消失。
29．We can infer from the text that in the future ________.
A．people will face many difficulties
B．people will take up more creative jobs
C．artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D．most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
解析：选B 推理判断题。由第二段中的“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work...think about workplaces”以及第三段的描述可知，未来人们需要从事更具有创造性的工作。
30．According to the report，________.
A．people won't necessarily lose jobs
B．big companies will face fewer challenges
C．small companies will win against big companies
D．most people will become interested in technology
解析：选A 细节理解题。由第五段中的“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.”可知，职业消失并不必然意味着工作丢失——它仅仅改变了人们做的事情。
31．What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A．Mixed. B．Worried.
C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future”和“The optimists pictured ‘a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create’”可知，大多数人工智能和机器人领域的专家对未来持乐观态度。
32．Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that
________.
A．there will be enough jobs for people
B．things will change a lot in a few years
C．many people will become unemployed
D．technology will totally change future jobs
解析：选A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“more jobs seem likely to be created...when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs”可知，微软公司的Jonathan Grudin认为，更多的工作会被创造出来，人们会有足够的就业机会。

Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem. The trick is to be patient, straightforward, and to remember that deaf people communicate visually. After you know it, you'll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1: Starting Your Conversation
__36__ You can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance, or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder. If it's a real emergency, you can also turn the lights off and on quickly.
Position yourself carefully. Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face, and that you're not standing with your back to a light. __37__
Find out how the person prefers to communicate. Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others. Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter. Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods. __38__
Method 2: Communicating through Lip-reading
Keep your sentences simple and use plain languages. __39__ The more complex your phrasing and vocabulary are, the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something. Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren't widely known. When someone else is speaking, don't turn away from the deaf person in your group. __40__ You don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking, but try to make sure your face is visible.
A．Get the person's attention.
B．It's important not to talk too quickly.
C．Or they'll miss parts of the conversation.
D．If so, it'll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E．Stand directly in front of the person, at a normal distance.
F．The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G．Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.

One possible version：
Life in the future
In the future, man's life will be very different from that of today. First, with the development of medicine, on the average, a person will live to the age of about 120. Because of the discovery of new energy, the environmental pollution will be under control. People's daily life will change greatly, too. For example, robots will do all your housework; your chair will change its color to match what you're wearing; you can also put your mobile phone around your wrist and can see the caller while speaking; you can even take a new elevator into space for your holidays.
