20．The Group of Eight ______ by eight of the world's wealthiest nations in 1998．（　　）
A．was formedB．formsC．is formedD．formed

分析 八国集团是由八个世界最富有的国家在1998组成．

解答 答案是A．考查被动语态，分析句子可知The Group of Eight 是主语，form动词"组成"与主语形成被动关系，1998年是过去时间，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，故答案选A．

点评 被动语态由"助动词be+及物动词的过去分词"构成．被动语态的时态变化只改变be的形式，过去分词部分不变．疑问式和否定式的变化也如此．掌握各种时态的被动语态是解题的关键．

Recently，my class holds a heated discussion about whether students should carry a mobile phone．Recently，my class holds a heated discussion about whether students should carry a mobile phone．
　　About 60% of us students agree that we should be allowed to carry a mobile phone．This is because mobile phones are small in size，light in weight，and easy to carry．It is convenient for us to communicate with our parents and friends．
　　However，while the others（About 40% of the students）disagree，saying that it is bad for our growth．The students carry a mobile phone in order to show off．And it is a waste of time and money．
　　Personally，I think it has both advantages and disadvantages．If we make use of it properly，it may be changed a better thing．．
15．By 2050，a completely new type of human evolve as a result of extremely new technology，behavior，and natural selection．This is according to Cadell Last，a researcher at the Global Brain Institute，who claims mankind is undergoing a major"evolutionary transition"．
In less than four decades，Mr．Last claims we will live longer，have children in old age and rely on artificial intelligence to do ordinary and boring tasks．This shift is so significant，he claims，it is comparable to the change from monkeys to apes，and apes to humans．"Your 80or 100is going to be so radically different than your grandparents，"Mr．Last says，who believes we will spend much of our time living in virtual reality．Some evolutionary scientists believe this age could be as high as 120by 2050．
Mr．Last claims humans will also demonstrate delayed sexual maturation，according to a report by Christina Sterbenz in Business Insider．This refers to something known as life history theory which attempts to explain how natural selection shapes key events in a creature's life，such as reproduction．It suggests that as brain sizes increase，organisms need more energy and time to reach their full potential，and so reproduce less．
Instead of living fast and dying younger，Mr．Last believes humans will live slow and die old．"Global society at the moment is a complete mess，"he told MailOnline．"But in crisis there is opportunity，and in apocalypse （启示） there can be transformation．So I think the next system humanity creates will be far more sophisticated，fair，and abundant than our current civilization．"
"I think our next system will be as different from the modern world，as our contemporary world is from the medieval （中世纪的） world．The biological clock isn't going to be around forever，"he added，and said that people could pause it for some time using future technology．
The change is already happening．Today，the average age at which a woman in Britain has her first baby has been rising steadily stands at 29.8．In the US，just one percent of first children were born to women over the age of 35in 1970．By 2012，that figure rose to 15percent．
"As countries become socio-economically advanced，more and more people，especially women have the option to engage in cultural reproduction，"Mr．Last added．And as well as having more child-free years to enjoy leisure time，he believes artificial intelligence will make up the need for low-skill jobs．We may also spend a large amount of time living in virtual reality．"I'm not quite sure most people have really absorbed the implications of this possibility，"Mr．Last said．
His views are detailed in a paper，titled"Human Evolution，Life History Theory，and the End of Biological Reproduction"published Current Aging Science．

59．According to Cadell Last，a completely new type of human will appear because ofA．
①artificial intelligence ②new technology ③natural selection ④mundane tasks
⑤behavior
A．②③⑤
B．①②③
C．③④⑤
D．①②⑤
60．Which statement is compared by Mr．Last to the change from monkeys to apes，and apes to humans？D
A．We have diseases and die young．
B．We give birth to a child when we are young．
C．We spend less time in virtual reality．
D．We use intelligent robots to do everyday housework．
61．The underlined words in the third paragraph most probably mean"A"．
A．Organisms need more energy and time to ripen．
B．Natural selection shapes key events．
C．Reproduction．
D．Reproduce less．
62．In the next system Mr．Last explained we can infer thatA．
A．women are engaged in careers or hobbies instead of giving birth to babies
B．women are engaged in playing computer games rather than working
C．women are engaged in cultural reproduction in place of men
