Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it looks as though TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmers, newspapers and books will come to us in this way.
In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists (未来学家) predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In future, cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
A number of large companies now use robots instead of people who ask for pay rises, or go on strike, and can not work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see and hear again. In the last few years, scientists have discovered how to control genes and have already produced clones of animals. By 2050,scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?

James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. his astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal(描画, 描写)of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.
When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately(热情地, 热烈地)interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself norwegian(挪威语)so that he could read Ibsen’s(挪威剧作家及诗人)works in the original.
When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile(流犯, 被放逐者), because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.
小题1:James Joyce was famous for many reasons except _______.
A.his way of constructing a novel

D.his passion in literature
小题2:“he is second only to Shakespeare” is a comment on his ________.
A.achievement in literature
B.achievement in the nationalist movement
C.achievement in his study of languages
D.mastery of the English language
小题3:How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?
A.2. B.3. C.1. D.4.
小题4:Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?
A.Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.
B.Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.
C.Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life.
D.Because he wanted to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively about the people and the places he knew best.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
On the first day of school we were challenged to get to know a new classmate. I was looking around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
She said, “Hi, handsome! I"m Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(拥抱)?” I laughed and heartily responded, “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent(天真的)age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied,“I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”
“No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!” She told me. We became instant friends.
Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像)and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have many people walking around who are dead, and they don"t even know it!” she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. The elderly usually don"t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”
One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it"s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
56.Rose started college at the age of 87 in order to    .
A.marry a rich man  B.travel around the world
C.make more friends  D.realize her dream
57.Which of the following best explains “she was living it up” in the seventh paragraph?
A.She was living a long life.  B.She was enjoying herself.
C.She was spending a lot of money.  D.She was killing time.
58.When you lose your dreams, you die because    .
A.there"s no sense in living without your aim
B.you can"t sleep well every night
C.you are too old and have to stop playing
D.something is terribly wrong with your brain
59.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Meet the Challenge      B.Never Waste Time
C.Grow Up or Grow Old?  D.Have You Got Ready?

“You must be mad!” said my friends. “Giving up your job now, when there isn"t much chance of finding another one, ever!”
But I had already come to my lonely decision. To wake up in the morning with a sense of fear, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then to set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers(镇定剂) to help me along.
It hadn"t always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed quite well.
I, in common with most other teachers, am rather self­critical, and I knew now I was no longer “managing”.My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague(含糊的) “Hello, Miss”, and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
Was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don"t think it was. I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children, over­stimulated(刺激)by video­watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came without breakfast to school and then stuffed themselves with gum and chocolates bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in class and talked restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting (漂) to all floors.
I had been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I had failed, and no longer had the stomach for the job.
64.The reason why the writer decided to give up her job was probably that    .
A.teaching children wasn"t challenging
B.she took no pride in her work
C.teaching had become too much for her
D.she disliked the new teaching method
65.“My very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence” means“    ”.
A.I"d very well make some students stop talking simply by standing in the doorway
B.when I came to the doorway, the class would immediately quiet down
C.all the students would become silent on my turning up in the doorway
D.my appearance in the doorway could at least comfort the class
66.The following are all reasons that children couldn"t concentrate in class EXCEPT    .
A.they were tired out because they went to bed too late
B.they were burdened with too much homework
C.they were not properly fed by their parents
D.they were over excited by video­watching the night before
67.We can infer from the passage that the writer    .
A.had no love for children at all
B.never truly enjoyed teaching
C.found it difficult to give up her job
D.felt extremely nervous about each coming day
