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.

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.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said you could buy tickets at the theatre box any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and the theatre is not good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes. By the time I saw one come, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line at the box office, and I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

1. The man learned from _______ that there would be a concert on Friday.

A. the bus stop　　 　　 B. the theatre box

C. one man in line　　 D. the newspaper

2. He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.

A. once 　　　　　　 B. three times　

C. twice 　　　　　　 D. four times

3.One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus．

C. fifteen minutes　　 　　　 D. ten minutes

We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.

Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.

B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

D. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.

D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

3.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

A. disappointed　　　 B. optimistic

C. curious　　　 　　　 D. surprised

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

B. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.

D. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.

1.In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.

A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls

B. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films

C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays

D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor

2. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?

A. Computerized books won’t be very expensive.

B. Computers can keep many different books in them.

C. We won’t have lots of pages.

D. We won’t need any paper.

3.Paragraph 4 tells _______.

A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicating

B. if the Internet will change our habits

C. about computerized books

D. about future uses of computers

4. The title for this passage is _______.

A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books      B. Computers will be Used a lot in the Future

C. Computers will Do Everything for Man        D. How Computers Change Our Habits

5.According to the writer’s view, which is right?

C. Computers will not be used in shopping in the future.
