阅读理解     Can you imagine what our life will be like in the year 2050? Perhaps you will be flying off for a holiday on the moon, or maybe you will be taking your dog for a walk in virtual(虚拟的)  reality. We recently
carried out a survey of 1 000 people from different countries to find out what they think life will be like in
the future. The results clearly show both our hopes and fears.
     The survey suggests that friendship-one of the most important human relationships-will have changed
dramatically(显著地) . People will make friends mainly through the Internet. What is more, a large number of people will come across their future wives or husbands in this way! Computers will have become
completely necessary by 2050. Even now, some people begin to regard them as their best friends ! Others, however, say that we will become much more separated and estranged (疏远的)  from each other
because we will have little real human contact.
      Education will have changed a lot, too.  As more and more children will be using computers in schools, certain abilities,  such as mental arithmetic (心算), won"t be necessary since there will be computer
programs for most calculations(计算). Even writing by hand-at least to some extent-will have become a
thing of the past.
      According to the survey, home life will be more and more comfortable. Most people believe that by
2050 robots will be doing housework and we will rely mainly on ready-made food. A lot of people tlunk
that we might only cook for fun in the future.
      Space exploration will become increasingly popular. Fifty percent of the people we talked to believe
that man will regularly visit Mars. They also believe that travel on our own planet will probably change.
Almost everyone thinks that there will be no cars in the city center. Some even think that
environmentally-friendly electric of solar-powered cars will have replaced the cars we use now.
       Pollution is something that worries us very much. Some fear that it will continue to get worse, and that it will be impossible for us to live on our polluted planet. Others even foresee that one day we"ll have to
pay for clean air.
       On the other hand, people seem to be quite  optimistic about the benefits of genetic engineering, as they think scientists will use it to cure diseases like  cancers and AIDS. If scientists manage to find a cure for
these, we"ll have a much healthier society.
       Some people worry about the future, while others  are full of hope and confidence. No matter how
dark or bright it may seem, it is up to us to look after our planet and try to make it a better globe to live on.1. Many people believe that in 2050, we will         .A. not pay for computers
B. seldom leave our homes
C. not have any real friends
D. find partners and friends mainly through computers2. The passage suggests that in 2050         .      A. half of the world population will have traveled to Mars
B. students wiU write with typewriters only
C. cooking will nqt be easy to people
D.lessons taught at school and the ways in which they are taught will be very different3. Some people believe that pollution will have           by 2050.     A. disappeared
B. killed most of the people on the planet
C. become an even worse problem
D. made our planet a warmer place to live on4. Many people think that by 2050      .      A. there will be a cure for cancers and AIDS
B. people will have stopped dying
C. scientists will solve all the problems we face

     Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, fat diet, vegetable diet. surrounded by the word "diet" everyw we look
and listen. We have so easily attracted by the promise and potential of   diet products that we have
stopped thinking about what diet
     products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically
(身体上).
     Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to
admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of
fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the  thinking stage and go straight
for the scale c秤) instead. All  we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in  food labels.
     On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that
we don-t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and
that life  can be without resistance and struggle.
     The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us. but also in the 
physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm  our bodies because consuming them instead
of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are
potentially dangerous.
       Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of medicals. Once we realize this,
we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical
harm that comes from using them.1. From Paragraph l, we learn that _____.            A. diet products fail to bring out people"s potential
B. people have difficulties in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. try out a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet3. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____.A. losing weight is effortless
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____.

A. are over-consumed          
B.lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals      
D. provide too much energy

阅读理解     There is a famous expression in English," Stop the world,  I want to get off ! " This expression refers to
a feeling of panic, or a stress, that makes people want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and
become calm  again. "Stress"means pressure or tension. It is one of the  most common causes of health
problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental  health problems.

important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach.lt can cause stomachaches and problems of
digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from
stress.
     Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people  are under stress, they often overreact to
little problems. For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at  l work may yell at a child for
dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
     Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental! illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and j hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing{ stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a l result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia(神经性厌食),are sometimes caused by stress and often made worse by
stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one"s mental health is put at risk.
     It is obvious that stress is a serious problem.1t attacks the body.  1t  affects the emotions. Untreated, it
may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has  a  great influence on the health and well-being of our
bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.1. According to the passage, which of the following is not a common problem caused by stress?A. physical problems
