now？We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones！This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head，in particular，the forehead will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair？This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at！This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.1The passage mainly tells us that _.Amans life will be different in the futureBfuture man will look quite different from usCman is growing taller and uglier as time passesDmans organs functions will be on the wane2What serves as the evidence that man is changing?AMan has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.BMans hair is getting thinner and thinner.CMans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.DMan has been growing taller over the past 500 years.3Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?AHe is hairless because hair is no longer useful.BHe has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.CHis fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.DHe thinks and feels in different ways.4It is implied that _.Ahuman beings will become less attractive in the futureBless use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationChuman beings hope for a change in the future lifeDfuture life is always predictablecollect v收集，收藏生义：v.领取，收走，接走；募捐，募集1Ill go to the cleaners to collect my shirts and pants.我要去洗衣店取我的衬衫和裤子。2Shes gone to collect her son from school.她到学校接她儿子去了。3We are collecting for the earthquake victims.我们在为地震受灾者筹款。答案 .1.As；from2.at3.for；into；in4.to；to；for5.on；by6.above；by；down7.of；like；of；by；in8.up；into；of9.on；under；by10.into.1.我还是无法相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。He still cant believe that he is taking up the job that he doesnt like at all.2我很担心这次旅行，所以头几天我心里总是不踏实。Lost in thought，he almost ran into the tree in front of him.3开始的时候，新的环境让我难以忍受。I think this man is hard to get along with.4空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。She treats the boy as though/if he were her own son.5到了一个看起来很奇怪的房子，他就把我带进一个明亮而洁净的大房间。Hearing the news，she jumped with joy.1.B此处take up意为“接受”。sweep up打扫，横扫；make up组成，编造；bring up养育，抚养。2D句意为：我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到公元3008年了。remind“提醒”，符合题意。3C因head与hit之间是动宾关系，故此处用过去分词短语作原因状语。4Cin no time“立刻，马上”；at all times“总是，随时”；at any time“在任何时候”；at times“有时，间或”。5Ba hovering carriage与drive之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。6Dwhat引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语。7D分析句子结构可知此处缺少谓语，故排除B、C两项。lose sight of“看不见”，catch sight of“看见”。由后面的flew after him可知选D。8C此处考查由“形容词现在分词”构成的复合形容词。A项应为snowcovered意为“白雪覆盖的”；B项应为newlybuilt“新建的”；D项应为wellknown“著名的”。9A第一空用形容词exhausted在句子中作原因状语，表示主语I的状态。第二空考查短语fall asleep“睡着，入睡”。10D由前面的“with the correct help of my teachers”可知选D。be optimistic about对乐观；pessimistic悲观的；worried担心的；curious好奇的。.1.B主旨大意题。由文章第一段可知本文主要介绍未来人类的外貌可能会出现的变化。C项只是其中一个方面。2D细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知人类外貌已经改变。A，B，C均为人类未来的变化趋势而不是人类变化的证据。3A正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失，因为“it does not serve a useful purpose any longer”，即头发失去作用。4B推理判断题。从人类身体变化可以看出，经常使用的器官部位，如大脑、手指将变得发达，而不常用的器官如头发、四肢会退化。- 5 -
