第一节阅读表达(共4小题;每小题2. 5分,满分10分) 

No one can believe that the over 6 ,300-kilome-tre-long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realise that the length was made up of one brick at a time.  ,it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.

The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 ,000 years. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu,because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have almost been forgotten.

The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by country people to build their houses,sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with peopled names were put away as remembrances. Rubbish was spread over the battlements (城垛) . The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name,but arc not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.

It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. The officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall and the young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilisation and learn to love it.

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all,it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead,people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today,we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometres away. By2050,music,films,programmes,newspapers,and books will come to us in this way.

In many places,agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruits and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore,there could be serious shortages. Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.

In the future,cars will run on new,clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of them 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. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today,the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on earth again. By 2050,space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.

Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike,and work 24 hours a day. By 2050,we will see robots everywhere—in factories,schools,offices,hospitals,shops and homes.

Nowadays,scientists will have discovered how to control genes. Scientists have already produced clones of animals.
