Experts researching this aspect predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. A computer will send the program directly to the television. On TV screen appear holograms, which are pictures with certain height, width and depth. We will be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.Water has become one of our most serious problems. Agriculture is changing and people are growing more fruit and vegetables to export. Demand for water will increase ten times in 2050. Some futurologists predict that water will be the cause of war if we don’t act now.In transport, cars will run on new fuels and go very fast. A car will have computers to control its speed and there won’t be any accidents. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the earth in about three hours. People will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo by space plane in just half an hour.In the field of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere. They do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day.Medicine technology will have conquered many diseases by 2050; we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals and will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. If you want all this to come true, you should study science and technology hard.25. What is the main difference between today’s and 2050’s TV?A. We can touch the things we see on TV.B.

Peking Opera is being introduced to primary and middle school students in an effort to promote(促进) the traditional art to the younger generation, Beijing News reported on Tuesday.The country's first set of textbooks about Peking Opera was published by the Beijing Association of Promoting Quintessence of Chinese Culture and People's Education Press in 2015. The textbooks are being tried in some junior middle schools in the Fengtai District and will be used in middle schools across the city.Since 2008, Beijing has promoted a program to provide opera training at dozens of primary schools. Schools apply for some support from the city's education department to hire professional actors and actresses to work with students as young as 6 or 7.Peking Opera appeared during the rule of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It developed for decades in China and as its fame spread, it drew audiences in other countries, including the United States and Japan.Yet over the years, its popularity gradually diminished (disappeared). While a significant number of people listened to radio productions of Peking Opera before the 1980s, generations born after that sought after pop culture over the traditional arts.29.

What does the young generation prefer?A. Professional actorsB. Pop cultureC. Traditional artsD. Peking OperaD“Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh, what fun….” Are you familiar with it? It is so hard not to hear it on Christmas. Endless playing of songs like this in shops during the festive season doesn’t just drive us mad — the songs also make us more careless with our money, the research has warned.While the repeated performance of Jingle Bells may seem like an attempt to raise customers’spirits when doing Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more delicate influence.“Background music’can be used by marketers to give cultures —such as the commercialization(商业化) of Christmas — to consumers and affect their behaviour,” experts said. Dr Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of London, said，“Festive jingles are force­fed to Christmas shoppers to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control their shopping habits in a way that they might hardly realize.”“Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.”Dr Bradshaw and Professor Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to control their behaviour.It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore they spend more time examining the shelves, for example. Some providers of background music have been known to promote their services by saying they can get profits by controlling the behaviour of customers.“A common trick is to take a popular current song and record an instrumental version which can be slowed down or sped up at different time of the day to influence behaviour in different ways,” Dr Bradshaw said.Background music is often classed as “Muzak”(繆扎克背景音乐) in honour of the Seattle­based company which began producing its soft­sounding melodies in the 1930s.32. According to Dr Bradshaw, in what ways does Christmas music influence customers?①their mood ②their sense of time ③their income ④the sort of products they buyA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ②③④D. ①②④33. Shopkeepers slow down the rhythm of music in shops to ________.A. let customers enjoy the beautiful musicB. make customers and sales assistants relaxedC. let customers spend more time shoppingD. help customers find what they really want34. What kind of music is now often changed to influence customers in shops?A. Popular modern songs.B. Classical music.C. Folk songs.D. Jazz music.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Music makes happy ChristmasB. Christmas music makes us spend moreC. How to make Christmas musicD. Christmas “Muzak”第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
