Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe it is about 47 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

What makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard to say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.
The Torre Velasca
The Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower(狭窄的) than the upper parts.
The Mirador Building
The Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的) hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.
The Prague TV Tower
The Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.
The Longaberger Basket Company
The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It’s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.
1.According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________.
A. is similar to a Lombard castle
B. was created by Blanca Lleo
C. has a history of over 100 years
D. is taller than the Prague TV Tower
2.Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building?
A. B.
C. D.
3.When the Prague TV tower was put up, many people ________.
A. liked it very much
B. thought little of it
C. felt that it might fall down easily

Now let's look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.
In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.
For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.
Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.
1.From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _______.
A. humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate group
B. human beings are limited by the environment while animals are not
C. human beings become more and more different from each other
D. humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability
2.According to the passage, primate includes such animals as _______.
A. monkeys and anteaters B. tigers and apes
C. apes and monkeys D. monkeys and giraffes
3.According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______.
A. increase the population
B. resist natural offers
C. go to the moon
D. cure all diseases
4.According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in _______.
A. the population explosion
B. the destruction of human habitations
C. the growth of natural ecosystem
D. the specialization of humans
