24、: A What will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, 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 500 years ago, was shorter than h

25、e is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively 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 ti

26、me goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need large ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: 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

27、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 s

28、ensitive 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 this gives the impression

29、that future man will not be 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. ( ) 46. According to the passage, future

30、man will be _. A. changing fast B. changing slowly C. the same as us D. totally different from us( ) 47. Future man is likely to be different from us in _. A. almost every way B. only two ways C. a great many ways D. one or two ways( ) 48. Future mans hair will _. A. grow darker B. stop growing comp

31、letely C. fall out more often D. get longer ( ) 49. From the passage, we can conclude that future man will _. A. have a larger forehead and weaker eyes B. have thoughts and emotions similar to ours C. need glasses to see better D. be bald and attractiveB One night in February 1962, John H. Glenn, Jr

32、. flew over Australia. The man in the Mercury (水星) capsule was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. Over the dark land 100 miles below, he saw sparkling lights. It marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him. In Friendship 7, Glenn radioed, “The

33、 lights show up very well. Thank everybody for turning them on.” His capsule moved on to the east. During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of the 18 tracking stations. Some of them were on ships at sea. Others were in the United States. Many of the stations had been built

34、with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria, Zanzibar and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network. John Glenn, Jr. was the first American to orbit the earth. For h

35、is flight, the tracking network (跟蹤網(wǎng)絡(luò)) covered 60,000 statute miles (法定英里). 500 men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 statute miles and has about 100 stations. One-third of these stations are outside the United States.

36、 ( ) 50. This passage is mainly about _. A. talking to ships at sea around the world B. breaks in the worldwide network C. the first American to orbit the earth D. a satellite which fell into the ocean ( ) 51. From the passage we can see that _. A. Friendship 7 stopped in Perth, Australia B. all tra

37、cking stations are inside the United States C. radio equipment is important in space flight D. many people could see Glenn in his capsule when he made the flight ( ) 52. During his flight Glenn could always _. A. see lights on the ground clearly B. reach ships at seaC. reach one of the tracking stat

They wanted to see Friendship 7. D. They wanted to greet Glenn. C A sixth of undergraduates in Beijing this year

39、have registered at driving schools. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so. Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is no

40、t really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a drivers license has become another factor. “In the job market, owning a drivers lic

41、ense sometimes strengthens a graduating students competitiveness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law. Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a license after gradua

42、tion because of the pressures on working peoples time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunities to learn,” Zhou says.Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very

43、capable and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main learners. To get a drivers license, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours practice before the final

46、ght it was a waste of money and time to learn to drive. C. He thought they could learn to drive faster. D. He thought they would spend three times more time to learn to drive than ordinary people.( ) 57. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Students Pay Less to Learn to D
