Unit 3 Life in the future
培优练习
Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and young­looking.In 2035，medical technology is better than ever.Many people at your age could live to 150，so at 40，you're not old at all.And your parents just had an anti­aging (抗衰老的) treatment.Now，all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt，“Turn red.”It changes from blue to red.In 2035，“smart clothes” contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk，but a voice says，“You shouldn't drink that！”Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk，and it knows the milk is old.In 2035，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work.In 2035，cars drive themselves.Just tell your “smart car” where to go.On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子)．Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed，” says scientist Andrew Zolli，“It has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.”The Internet is one example－what will be the next?
1．We can learn from the text that in the future .
A．people will never get old
B．everyone will look the same
C．red will be the most popular color
D．clothes will be able to change their pattern
2．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Milk will be harmful to health.
B．More drinks will be available for sale.
C．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.
D．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.
3．What is the text mainly about?
A．Food and clothing in 2035.
B．Future technology in everyday life.
C．Medical treatments of the future.
D．The reason for the success of new technology.
B
We don't know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand，our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will，of course，change，too.We will be using solar­powered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS.Therefore，our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them.We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations，hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather optimistic about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
4．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A．Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B．Because there will be less face­to­face communication.
C．Because people won't like making friends with each other.
D．Because people won't communicate with each other much often.
5．The third paragraph mainly tells us ．
A．that computers will do all the things for human beings
B．how people will use computers to communicate with each other
C．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot
D．how people will use robots to do the housework
6．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050?
A. The relationship between people will be more important than that of today.
B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C．It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
7．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B．What our life will be like in the year 2050.
C．How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.
D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

Paris,France
Who should go:starving artists,Henry Miller fans,traditional food lovers.
When to go:spring is the best time.That’s what they all say,anyway.Autumn isn’t bad,either,but I’d rather be rooting around the south of France in search of truffles(松露)in autumn.Summer in Paris isn’t bad,really.
Amsterdam,Holland
Who should go: lovers of Dutch Master(artists I mean, like Rembrandt, not cigars), bicyclists—it’s a bike city in a flat land.
When to go:it can rain at any time in Amsterdam,but that’s not a reason for not visiting this fascinating city. Off season tourists will be rewarded with good enough weather to stick around.Summer is good for sun lovers.
Madrid,Spain
Who should go:night owls—Madrid never sleeps, art lovers—the Prado is second only to the Louvre in presenting serious art, party-goers. 
When to go: spring, when days are warm and the nights are pleasantly cool. Demand for outside eating and drinking starts becoming stronger in March or April. Street life peaks in June and then slows in July and August as the temperature peaks.Autumn is also good, although you’ll risk some rains.
