What will man be like in the future —5,000 or even 50 ,000 years from now? We can only make guesses,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,500 years ago,was shorter than he is today. Five hundred years is relatively a 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 brain's capacity. As time goes on,however,we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head. In particular,the fore-head (前额) will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant (持续不断的) use. In fact,we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time,it is likely that man's 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 sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的) .

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!

This may 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.

Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the worlds first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.

The car is made mainly of renewable materials,like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel (方向盘) is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.

The new racing car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred and fifteen kilometres an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometres an hour in just two and a half seconds. The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel（生物柴油) engine.

Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment. Racing cars burn a lot of fuel,and create a lot of air pollution. In recent years,the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment.

Last month,the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three. Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete. Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers,so the new racing car didn't appear in the event. In test runs,the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.

51. What's the second paragraph mainly about?

第二部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

Have you visited an ancient,aristocratic (贵族气派的) ，and quiet place? Well,this is Vicenza whose streets aren’t wide,with a number of beautiful Renaissance (文艺复兴时期) buildings,and a wonderful square that is the heart of the city: Piazza dei Signori.

Everybody knows Venice,Rome,and Florence,but only a few people know that Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for its important historical buildings,mostly designed by Andrea Palladio who was born in Vicenza (1508—1580) .

It was during the Renaissance and the following four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great buildings were built,making Vicenza famous throughout Europe and giving it the great appearance which it keeps today.

Besides its historical district,around Vicenza are beautiful hills and the countryside where you can spend time walking,sightseeing,and having delicious meals in many restaurants which serve typical foods and good wine. What's more,in Vicenza's countryside there’re great villas (别墅) which are worth visiting. This is where the most local people used to spend their summers farming their lands during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Vicenza greatly attracted people interested in art and historical works. Besides having fun thereVe classical and jazz music concerts and theatre performances,mostly during the autumn.
