21、In the far, far future, bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer (飞碟). Imagine a race between them!
There may be telepathy helmets (心灵感应头盔) that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!
What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial—made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air and water. The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.
The future hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.
What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to crash together. Controls that won’t even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.
But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes (圆顶罩) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won’t have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the “weatherman” thinks it is necessary to fresh the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm.
The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.
【1】How will you probably talk with each other in the future according to paragraph 2?
A．With a safety helmet.
B．By thought waves.
C．Through secret words.
D．On a special phone.
【2】What can we say about the artificial food?
A．It only consists of water.
B．It is difficult to digest.
C．It is nutritious enough.
D．It can keep us from aging.
【3】What can we expect of the future life?
A．Road safety will be hugely raised.
B．People will not see a doctor any more.
C．Driving on the highways will be avoided.
D．No storms will happen in the neighborhood.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．A health report.
B．A magazine.
C．A guidebook.
D．An advertisement.
22、In what’s believed to be a first London’s Imperial College Business School is using holographic technology（全息技术）to present lectures to students. From California a product manager was beamed onto a stage like magic. The head of Imperial’s EdTech Lab says, this presents a window to the world. Through holograms（全息图）we can bring in lectures from across the globe, and they can appear in front of our students in a realistic manner. That’s the key.
The developer of the technique explains how it works. “We’re presenting a 2D image as a 3D image, and the iris（虹膜）is flat so we see everything in 2D.Our brain changes it to 3D. We’re doing exactly the same trick. We’re presenting a 2D image but with depth of field and a really good vision. My brain just changes it to a 3D image.” Attendees say there are many ways this tool can help educators and students.
The second thing we could do with that is having CEOs coming to the classroom, and engaging with students. And the third way probably is maybe to have Albert Einstein coming to the classroom. There might be a long wait for that. Meanwhile, master student Josephine Collins says she prefers the interaction a hologram lecture offers compared to those presented online.
I wouldn’t mind it. I think its very interesting if we can have access to different lectures and different things like guest speakers. That’s something I would definitely enjoy. Developers say the cost of holographic technology has dropped considerably since the days it was used mostly in big-budget music shows making it possible for educational institutions to afford it.
【1】According to this passage, holographic technology mainly benefits________.
A．health care
B．commerce
C．education
D．agriculture
【2】How does holographic technology work?
A．Our sight upgrades a 2D image into a 3D image.
B．Our brain transforms a 2D image into a 3D image.
C．The developer presents the lectures online.
D．The iris is so flat that we see images in 2D.
【3】Compared to the lectures presented online, a hologram lecture ________.
A．brings Albert Einstein back to life
B．allows the lecturer to interact with students
C．is more money-saving for educational institutions
D．is more available whenever and wherever you are
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards holographic technology?
A．Ignoring.
B．Compromising.
C．Approving.
D．Disagreeing.
23、Duncan Jurman has been fascinated by butterflies since he was 4 years old. Early on, he learned that butterfly populations were becoming smaller globally due to human activities so he developed gardens at his home, where he raised more than 5,000 butterflies to be released.
In 2018, Jurman developed a large butterfly garden at his high school, which has since attracted 28 species of butterflies, including two endangered species. The garden has also attracted other wildlife, including birds, lizards, and insects.
Jurman is devoted to protecting butterflies by reviving natural habitats. He travels to high schools to share his knowledge and encourage others to help in his quest. He’s now working with gardeners and local residents to rescue endangered butterfly species and create better habitats in general for wildlife.
“From teaching, I recognized that most students don’t know the important roles butterflies play in our nature—as pollinators of plants and key food sources for numerous animals, such as birds and lizards,” Jurman said. “Most don’t know that butterfly populations worldwide are in serious danger. Though equipped with advanced technology as a whole today, most students don’t know gardening, insects and nature in general compared with previous generations."
“I want to change this situation and realize there’s an opportunity to raise youth’s awareness of the importance of butterflies, the many threats facing them, and the relatively little effort necessary to have an immediate effect on the future of butterflies," he added.
【1】Why did Jurman develop gardens?
A．Because he was fascinated by butterflies.
B．Because he was in love with unique butterflies.
C．Because there were different species of butterflies.
D．Because the populations of butterflies were dropping.
【2】What can butterflies do in nature?
A．Serve as animals’ food.
B．Recognize serious natural dangers.
C．Advance agricultural technology.
D．Appeal to birds and lizards.
【3】What’s Jurman’s attitude toward raising teenagers’ awareness of protecting butterflies?
A．Uncertain.
B．Positive.
C．Unknown
D．Disappointed.
24、For 52 years my father got up at 5:30 am every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5:30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.
For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter.
On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me; my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤） in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to. I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
