Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. It seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. People will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.By 2050, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places, agriculture is changing and people are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a lot ofwater. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050, and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't actnow.In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. By 2050, cars willhave computers to control the direction and speed, and drive it to your destination without anyaccidents. And space planes fly all over the world and take people flying from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.In the field of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many big factoriesprefer robots, because they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops andhomes.In particular, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050, there will beelectronic devices that could help blind and deaf people see again and hear again, and scientistswill be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and howmuch intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?4．What may happen to the TV programs in the future?A．The programs played on TV will be decided by you.B．A computer will decide TV programs.C．You may choose the channels from a menu on a computer.D．The programs made by you will be played on TV.5．In Para. 3, the author wants to tell us that in the future ________.A．fruits will be more expensiveB．fewer people will plant fruits and vegetablesC．planting will need much less waterD．the shortage of water will be more serious6．What mainly makes driving much safer in the future?A．Good traffic condition.B．Good driving skills.C．The role played by computers.D．The use of new fuel.7．Which of the following statements about the future is TRUE?A．The world will be controlled by robots.B．Blind people will get a lot of help from robots.C．Fewer workers are needed in factories.D．Scientists will clone people of different kinds.CPatients in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can't be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in micesuffering from Alzheimer's. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects' brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of the concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It's a matter of how to get it back.” said the senior researcher SusumuTonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer's andone healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer's mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Short-term memories seem to be normal in the order of hours. But for long-term memories, these early-Alzheimer's mice seem to be damaged，” said the lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. Thissuggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they are unable to learn orstore this memory.”8．What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?A．They are the pioneers of brain research.B．They have used the method in human trials.C．They can cure Alzheimer's using the new method.D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer's.9．Why did the Alzheimer's mice behave normally the third time?A．They failed to remember the electric shock.B．They were accustomed to the situation.C．They managed to overcome the fear.D．They activated the association automatically.10．For long-term memories, the early-Alzheimer's mice ________.A．can transform their brain cellsB．can't learn new tricks wellC．can easily get back their memoriesD．can't access the information stored11．The main purpose of the text is to ________.A．introduce a method of doing a researchB．report the latest discovery about a diseaseC．give advice on how to improve memoriesD．explain how a brain stores informationDBlue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widelythroughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s，whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the Northern Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the West Coast of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure whythe whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.12．According to the passage, blue whales are ________.A．following a fixed route of migrationB．dying out due to commercial whalingC．moving from the south to the northD．rarely found in the Southern Pacific13．The whale population off the coast of British Columbia ________.A．is different from the California populationB．is probably part of the California populationC．has become the largest group since the 1970sD．has lived there since the 1960s14．The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.A．land creatures B．whale speciesC．ocean conditions D．migration patterns15．What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?A．Commercial whaling. B．Weather conditions.C．Life reproduction. D．Food resources.第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
