What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be 　　 . They 　　 that cities will become more and more crowded. 　　　 the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This 　　 will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic 　　　 we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity) and housing? 　　 life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. 　　 these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.

How can we 　　 such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already 　 　　　　 in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because 　　 　　 are so high. The crime rate isn't going down. 　　 , it is 　　 so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don't move at all for several blocks. These 　　 problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no 　　 for the future of the city.

However, not all people believe in the horrible 　　 for cities of the future. Instead, they feel that they can solve present urban problems and 　　 future ones.

The 　 　　　　 of any modern city are not unique(独特的) to that city, that is to say, all the cities in the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that 　　 people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are building their downtown areas. Urban 　 　 can learn from one another. They can 　　 solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world.

What will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts(专家) agree that the school will be electronic in the future.

“Present-day schools will no longer exist in the next century,” says a report in The Age. “At that time, future schools will become community-style centers, which run seven days a week, 24 hours a day.” At the same time, computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.

According to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.

The Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers. Teachers check messages and call students back on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons. Besides, all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers.

As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students' library, data storage(数据存储)as well as the bridge to a wider world. Technology has changed the emphasis of future learning. Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.

1.According to the report in The Age, students in future schools will　　　　 .

A.mainly study online B.study at a set time

C.have no teachers D.never go to actual school

2.The example of the Seashore Primary School is given to show　　　　　 .

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

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
