I.完形填空
What will man be like in the future? How about in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can
only make a 1 , of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from 2 he is today, for
man is slowly 3 all the time.
Let us take an example. Man, even 500 years ago, was 4 than he is today. Now, on average,
men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of 5 , so we may guess that
man will 6 to grow taller.
Again, in modem world we use our 7 a great deal. Even so, we still 8 only about 20%
of the brain’ s capacity (容量).As time 9 , however, we shall have to use our brains more and more
--and finally we shall need even larger ones! This is likely to 10 a physical change, too. The head,
11 , the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in 12 use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become
weaker and we have to wear 13 . But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will
grow stronger.
On the other hand, we 14 to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to
grow weaker. At the same time, 15 our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are
used a great deal in modem life.
But what about hair? This will probably 16 from the body altogether in course of time because
it does not 17 a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald(无发
或少发的).
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very 18 creature to look at!
All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in 19 with us. He will still

We often think of future. We often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years’ time.
Think of space，perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps
people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed，
permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). When that time comes，people will be
taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. Great progress will have been made in medicine，too.
Perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseases—cancer. Pollution is a
problem we must solve. In a hundred years’ time it will have been controlled.
All the world will have been developed — even Antarctica. There will be large cities in Antarctica. We
already have supersonic(超音速的) flight，but in a hundred years’ time we will have supersonic land
travel as well.
We will have used up most of earth’s land to build our cities， so floating cities will have been built.
The Japanese already have plans for cities of this kind. And there will be cities under the sea. The first of
these will have been completed.

Cloud computing will be in use by about 80 percent of about 600 companies. The trend suggests that
data management and storage are moving to cloud computing sellers on a large scale.
Touting(兜售)cloud computing as a way to get rid of the costs of buying and maintain in on-site
information-technology equipment, sellers offer it in the form of Software AsA.Service(SAAS), a delivery
model in which software applications are delivered to customers over a web-based network. SAAS can
serve the needs of entire companies through huge, web-based platforms. As cloud computing rapidly
becomes the delivery channel for software developers of all shapes and sizes to get their products to
market, offering applications in a cloud is now the rule not the exception. A.relatively small number of
sellers are able to offer SAAS to big companies that want company-wide cloud computing, and only the
sellers need apply. Although market-share data are hard to come by, the list of company’s large enough to
offer cloud-computing on this scale is short: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Salesforce, Rackspace and not
many others.
The concentration of data and virtual (虚拟)computing in the hands of relatively few sellers raises an
important risk for their customers if the Internet-based systems of any one seller are hacked, the result
could be security problems across entire industries in which their customers do
Can this small group of cloud-computing sellers effectively respond to the needs of their customers to
quickly fix such a problem and, most importantly, cut off the damage to these companies' own customers?
Don't think such things can't happen. If hackers can penetrate the Department of Defense, the risk that they
will penetrate Microsoft or google cannot be ruled out Compromise of just one of these sellers---even one
with a modest market share---possibly could shut down, at least temporarily, a sizable part of the U. S.
economy.

The idea of using a public bathroom with see-through walls may sound like the stuff of nightmares.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂But a famous Japanese architect is hoping to change that view, using new technology to make restrooms in
Tokyo parks more inviting.
"There are two things we worry about when entering a public restroom, especially those located at a
park," according to architect Shigeru Ban's firm. "The first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone
is inside. "
The newly-invented transparent walls can turn off both of those worries, Ban says, by showing people
what awaits them inside. After users enter the restroom and lock the door, the room's walls turn a powdery
pastel shade—and are no longer see-through.
Ean's transparent facilities are sure to make for great conversation among visitors to the park—and
they'll stand out even more after dark. "At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern," the
architect's website says.
The group is behind the Tokyo Toilet project, enlisting world-famous architects to create toilets "like
you've never seen." The project's eye-catching toilets are part of a plan to put people at ease when visiting a
public bathroom. The project may seem silly, but the 16 architects who are reimagining public toilets are
some of the brightest names in Japanese architecture. The list includes four Pritzker Prize winners—Ban,
Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando and Fumihiko Maki一along with international stars such as Kengo Kuma and Sou
Fujimoto. The fashion designer Nigo is also contributing.
Ban's colorful public bathrooms opened to the public this month in two parks: Yoyogi Fu kamachi
Mini Park and Haru--no--Ogawa Community Park. Other bespoke commodes will be opening in coming
months.
29.Why are people often worried before entering a public restroom?
A.It's not always clean. B.It's usually at a huge distance.
C.Its lock is usually useless. D.It's always occupied.
30.What does the underlined word "transparent" mean in the third paragraph?
A.Full of bright colors. B.Not easy to see through.
C.Easy to see through. D.Thick and strong.

A.It's impractical and silly. B.It's rewarding and famous.
C.It has won the Pritzker Prize. D.It's the fruit of collective wisdom.
32.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Should the public restrooms be upgraded?
B.The new high-tech walls of public restrooms are coming
C.How do we live with see-through public facilities?
D.Some famous architects designed a silly project

Life in the future will be different from the life today. Between then and now many changes will
happen. But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. And most of them will live longer than people now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every room. And
computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than
they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Travelling will be much
cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for
all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no
one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many
people will not have enough work to do. This will be a big problem.
33.In the future there will be________.
A.much more fruits B.more people C.fewer vegetables D.less people
34.In the future people don't have to________.
