What will man be like in the future ― in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, 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 example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively(相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose 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(容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. 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 (有…的趋势) 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(敏感的)because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!
Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.
48. Future man is probably to be different from us in ________ ways.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
49. Future man’s head will grow larger because ________.
A. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
B. he makes use only 80% of the brain's capacity
C. the other 80% of his brain will grow faster
D. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
50. What will be true about the man in the future?
A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
B. His fingers will grow weaker because he won't use them.
C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
D. He will think and feel in a different way.
51. What does the writer write the article for?
A. To give us some knowledge of future man.
B. To show that man's life will be different in the future.
C. To let us know future man will become less attractive.
D. To tell us future man is growing taller as time passes.
C
My most memorable and best experiences will stay in my mind for many years to come. For most people, horses are just animals that should only be used for racing, for money. Ever since I was only a few years old, horses have been my passion (酷爱之物). My dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally came near my anxious little life, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.
It was a warm summer day in Odessa, Ukraine, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while I looked around to find something that made my eyes twinkle (shine). I saw a figure from heaven; a four-legged beautiful animal was standing down the block, breathing heavily. I ran up to the horse, not even knowing how to pet it, just excited to see the most beautiful animal. He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail.
Right away I thought that I could ride this horse. I turned the other way and went to search for my mom to get some money. I saw her buying groceries and led her to where the horse was. The owner was back and said that it was his horse and I couldn’t ride it. A warm stream of tears (眼泪) flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to ask the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a high price. He taught me how to get on the horse and explained to me that it was important to keep heels down and arms steady. The beat of the horse’s trot (小跑) awakened all the senses in me and I knew I was the happiest little girl in Ukraine at that time. I began planning how I was going to buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I knew it, the ride was over. Surprisingly, I actually learned to control the horse.
That day was probably the happiest time of my life. Most children wouldn’t have as much fun as I did. Several years later, after coming to America, I began to take part in show jumping. If it weren’t for that time in Ukraine, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the most amazing(令人惊叹的) sport, one where you and another animal truly have to bond.
52. Which of the following is true according to the article?
A. The writer and that horse took part in show jumping later.
B. When the writer saw the horse, she loved it at once.
C. The horse owner allowed her to ride the horse for free.
D. The writer thought horse racing was for making money.
53. What does the underlined word “bond” mean?
A. To be connected to share feelings B. To be compared to find advantages
C. To be encouraged to work hard D. To be supposed to join efforts
54. From the passage, we can infer that_______.
A. the horse could be easily controlled
B. the horse owner was a kind and rich man
C. the experience opened doors for her to get into the sport
D. the writer’s mother loved the horse as much as her daughter
55. What could be the best title for the story?
A. Love for Horses B. Interest in Sports
C. An Exciting Dream D. An Amazing Ride
