Three million tons of coal_exploited every year in the city.Ais BareChas Dhave答案：B句中coal“煤”为不可数名词，被three million tons of限定，在句中作主语。这时，句子谓语动词的数应与of短语中表示“数量”的名词“tons”一致，故要选复数形式的谓语动词。根据句子意思，选项部分为一般现在时的被动结构，选项C和D都是主动语态结构。.完形填空What will man be like in_1_in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now on? We can only make a_2_， of course, but we can be sure that he will be_3_what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious_4_. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now on_5_， men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may imagine that man will continue to grow_6_.Again, in the modern world we use our_7_a great deal.

If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞)are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.)It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.1According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by_.Adiseases and aging Baccidents and warCaccidents and aging Dheart disease and war答案：A根据文章中的“目前的主要杀手，例如心脏病、癌症和衰老，都将成为遥远的记忆”来判断，现在人类的死亡主要是由疾病和衰老引起的，所以选A。2In the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in_.Amedicine Bthe InternetCbrain cells Dhuman organ答案：A作者谈到“医学的变革是我们这个时代真正的技术事件”，由此我们可以看出作者所认为的在技术方面的重要进步就是“医学”，因特网虽然能吸引很多人的注意力，但不是真正的“技术事件”。3Humans may live longer in the future because_.Aheart disease will be far away from usBhuman brains can decide the final deathCthe basic materials of cells will last foreverDhuman organs can be repaired by new medicine答案：D该题问的是将来人类能活得更长的原因。根据文章的“人们能服药物来修复器官”判断，“人类的器官可以通过新的药物来修复”。4We can learn from the passage that_.Ahuman life will not last more than 120 years in the futureBhumans have to make medicine to build new skin cells nowCmuch needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeDwe have already solved the technical problems in building new cells答案：C推理判断题。由于细胞可以不断地修复，人们可以活到超过120岁，A项错误；文中提到的skin cells是比喻，D项和原句意思相悖。根据“还有许多技术问题需要解决”判断，人类要想长寿还有许多工作需要做，所以C正确。
