What kind of house will you buy in the future? Would you like to live in a house where your plants can call your phone to tell you that they need to be watered? Or a house that helps you cut your energy bill by turning off the lights when you leave a room? It may sound like science fiction, but it already exists! Come and visit the Smart Home at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. It will show how you can live a green lifestyle by making use of advanced technology throughout the home that makes your life easier and simpler.
The Smart Home uses green technology to record the energy it uses, including electricity, water and gas. The house’s energy dashboard (仪表盘) lets you know your energy use through your television and computer. The house greets you with the new information when you walk in the door. It is able to record when you enter and leave rooms, and can switch the lights, television and music off .
The Smart Home is made entirely of recyclable and renewable materials. The furniture is made from used light bulbs, plastic bottles and other renewable materials, but you can’t tell from just looking at them. The kitchen countertops (工作台面) are made of recycled glass.
The entire house is designed to control the use of energy. The roof of the Smart Home has a sustainable vegetable garden, which does little harm to nature. Even the personal computer is green: it uses less power than a 60-watt light bulb. The house can raise and lower the window shades by itself.

In the near future, people in some parts of the world will watch a new kind of television. It is called the high definition television or the HD-TV. The main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed. This is because the HD-TV has many more points and lines that make a television image. Every color television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points. They all come together as an image in the eye of the person watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than five hundred lines in a normal television. The HD-TV has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.
The HD-TV also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a CD. All these improvements make an HD-TV very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than twenty thousand dollars .A major problem with the HD-TV is its broadcast signal（传播信号.The signal is bigger than normal because it carries more electronic information.
1. What is the main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television? It is ________.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
We often think of future. We often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years’ time.
Think of space, perhaps a permanent (永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed, permitting long journeys throughout the solar system (太阳系). When that time comes, people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. Great progress will have been made in medicine, too. Perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseases (疾病)— cancer. Pollution is a problem we must solve. In a hundred years’ time it will have been controlled.
The world will have been developed — even Antarctica. There will be large cities in Antarctica. We already have supersonic (超音速的) flight, but in a hundred years’ time we will have supersonic land travel as well.
We will have used up most of earth’s land to build our cities, so floating cities will have been built. The Japanese already have plans for cities of this kind. And there will be cities under the sea. The first of these will have been completed.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Have you ever imagined what human beings will look like in the future? Well, now you don’t have to.
According to AsapScience, a Canada-based video channel that touches on many different science topics, humans will be very different creatures 1,000 years from now.
Artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and climate change will work together to change our bodies greatly, according to a video recently published by the channel.
We could, for instance, develop red eyes as our DNA changes, and have darker skin because of global warming.
The video painted a picture of a future world in which our bodies are part human, part machine. Nanobots, or tiny robots, will be put into our bodies, improving our abilities.
“No longer will we be limited by our own physiology. We will truly become a mixture of biology and machine on the inside,” says the video.
Meanwhile, designer babies will cause future generations to grow into intelligent, attractive people. As global warming takes hold, humans will also be skinnier and taller, as this body shape deals with heat better.
In fact, Cadell Last, a researcher at the Global Brain Institute located in Belgium, believes change may happen even faster than this.
As he said in a paper recently published in Current Aging Science, mankind is already going through a major evolutionary change. In less than four decades, Last claims, we will live longer, have children in old age and need artificial intelligence to finish daily tasks.
“Your 80 or 100 is going to be so radically different than your grandparents,” Last said. Instead of living fast and dying young, he believes humans will live slow and die old.
“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.
Just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields, while nowadays more and more are getting an education. These are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will evolve in the future. But with such large changes in our environments, it seems likely that we will all look very different one day.
1.Which of the following factors could play a role in the appearance of future humans, according to the text?
A. Advanced technology and global warming.
B. Medicine that fights aging and genetic engineering.
C. The Internet and artificial intelligence.
D. The cold weather and the dangers of machines.
2.The video released by AsapScience said that .
A. humans will be thinner and shorter
B. future humans’ bodies will be part machine
C. humans will develop red eyes that will enable them to see clearly at night
D. tiny robots will be put in humans’ minds and will give them super abilities
3.Which of the following would Cadell Last probably agree with?
A. Future babies will be designed according to their grandparents’ wishes.
B. Our increasing dependence on artificial intelligence will threaten our survival one day.
C. Future technology will pause our biological clocks so that humans live slower and longer.
D. In less than four decades, humans will have a sudden genetic change that will make us rely on artificial intelligence.
4.The main purpose of the article is to .
A. tell us about a prediction of how humans will look in the future
B. offer us different theories on how humans will evolve in the future
C. encourage us to be imaginative about how humans will look in the future
D. inform us what kinds of factors Could influence how humans will look in the future
