Computer technology is still developing rapidly. The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.

It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术).

Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time.

Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (电器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.

Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.

1.Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?

A. Much smaller.

B. Much faster.

C. More powerful.

D. Less valuable.

2.According to the text, quantum computing _____.

A. has been put in use so far

B. can make computers run by themselves

C. can reduce the cost of computers

D. will work by using transistors

3.We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.

A. create much smaller computers

B. be used in electrical appliances and clothing

C. change the structure of computers

D. make computers just serve specific purposes

4.The text is mainly about _____.

A. what nanotechnology is

B. what quantum computing is

C. what the future of the computer is

D. what future computers can bring us

I expect the travel of the future to become less physical, more mental. Through the use of technology, you’ll be able to let your brain experience the sensations of a new place without actual going there. Robots and computer simulation（模仿）will enable you to visit remote exotic places without ever leaving home---the wreckage of the Titanic, the Galapagos Island, even the moon.

As an oceanographer, I’ve spent decades developing robots to explore the depths, and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a cooperative effort between industry, science, and educators that’s designed to be a world classroom for children. In auditoriums throughout the country, we bring kids together and transmit back to them on large screens our live explorations of far-flung areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they truly participate. They have the sensation of really being at the site with us---through the “eyes”, “ears”, and motions of the robot.

This year we’re taking the project to the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos are an exceedingly fragile environment, so fragile that only 60,000 people are allowed to visit them each year. But with JASON we will be able to let some 300,000 children experience those unique islands.

I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to an entirely new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years I foresee people having rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate other environments. I like to call these rooms “home domes”---miniature theatres with wrap-around screens and sophisticated equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest, or a meadow in high mountains.

Today, much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with abundant wealth and time can see only a fraction of the earth’s sights. But this new era of travel will cost so much less in both time and money that many more people will be exposed to a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will help protect our planet. You can’t take large groups of tourists trooping up to look at Dian Fossey’s gorillas. But a small robot can get very close to a silverback and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.

I like to use this analogy（类比）to compare traditional travel with future travel: riding a horse is wonderful, but I don’t need to ride one to work anymore. That’s how I feel about traditional travel. Sometimes I still might want to hop on a plane and see a place firsthand, but sometimes I may simply want to walk into my home dome and take the trip from there.

1.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?

A. Protecting fragile environments like the Galapagos Islands.

B. Building home domes to meet people’s desire of travelling

C. Traveling globally without even leaving home in the future.

D. Owning rooms called “home domes” to be put into reality.

2.According to the article, simulated travel _______.

A. is a piece of equipment made for traveling

B. provides virtual access to actual traveling

C. has a negative effect on future environment

D. will be available in around fifty years’ time

3.Which question is NOT answered in the article?

A. Why is the “home dome” designed and produced?

B. When might a “home dome” be available to us?

C. What will be like in a “home dome” in future?

D. How much does a “home dome” probably cost?

Flying devices called drones(无人机) may be one of the most important technologies of the future.

The number of jobs for people who know how to design, build and control them is increasing. Because of this increase, several U.S. universities have started offering degrees in unmanned aircraft systems, or UAS.

One of these universities is the University of Washington in Seattle. Ward Handley is seeking a master’s degree in UAS at the university. When the drone program first began, he did not think it was a good idea. “Drones can be used to invade privacy(侵犯隐私).” He said. But later, Handley changed his opinion. He said, “I think there are good enough purposes for them.”

The FAA (the part of the U.S. government that controls air travel and traffic) is creating new rules to control the use of drones, however. A new law requires drone owners to register(登记) their drones. People who do not register their drones could face fines of up to US$20,000.

The new rules may also present problems for students. One problem is finding a legal place to fly.

Students at Blue Mountain Community College fly inside the college gym. In Seattle, University of Washington students test their drones in a big room.

Christopher Lum, a scientist at the University of Washington, helps students explore how drones can safely share the sky with regular aircraft. Lum explained why they test drones inside a building, “We need to register our aircraft and get permission to fly outside. That process can take months.”

At this time, Kansas State University is the only school with permission to offer unmanned aircraft flight classes to students outside. The FAA selected Kansas State University and 15 other universities to be part of a national research group.

Lum and some of his students recently moved their research to Australia. Australia has fewer rules limiting drones. A professor at Western Washington University also took his department’s drones to Canada for the same reason.

1.Degrees in UAS were created in several U.S. universities because of ________.

A. the increasing interest in the field

B. the increasing employment opportunities

C. the support from the government

D. the development of this technology

2.Why didn’t Handley think the drone program was a good idea at first?

A. Drones can be used for bad purposes.

B. The use of drones was very limited.

C. Few people can benefit from the program.

D. The university didn’t attach great importance to the program.

3.According to Lum, why does he teach flight classes inside a building?

A. It’s safer for the students.

B. It’s very expensive to register the aircraft.

C. It takes a very long time to get official permission.

D. He hasn’t got permission from the university.

4.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. Australia is promoting the use of drones.

B. Kansas State University is the first to offer a UAS degree.

C. Australia has fewer rules than Canada to control the use of drones.

D. The U.S. has more rules than Canada to control the use of drones.

Until decades ago, our visions of the future were largely positive. We thought science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all. However, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from epidemic (流行病) flu to climate change, we might even tend to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.

Yet such depression is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have existed for millions of years—so why shouldn’t we? Take a look at our species in the universe, and it becomes clear we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens of thousands of years. Look up Homo sapiens (智人) in the “Red List” of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature (IUCN), and you will read: “Listed as Least Concern because the species is widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.”

So what does our deep future hold? Many researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about the question. The potential evolution of today’s technology is complicated, so it’s perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the possibilities of the bright future.

Our future is quite rosy because it shows many promising possibilities of achievement. Besides, we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans and to improve those to come. Take a longer view and we can say with considerable assurance that the past holds the key to the future: by analyzing the past, we can make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants (后代) will find themselves.

1.According to the passage, what inspired our visions of the future in the past?

A.The desire for lives of fulfillment. B.The belief in equal opportunity.

C.The deep appreciation of threats. D.The faith in science and technology.

2.What can we know about human beings according to IUCN’s “Red List”?

A.They control the world’s development.

B.They severely threaten the environment.

C.They are strong enough to continue existing.

D.Their overall population will decrease.

3.What does the underlined word “rosy” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Dangerous. B.Annoying.

C.Hopeful. D.Undisturbed.

4.What should we do to ensure the future of mankind?

A.Explore our planet’s abundant resources.

B.Draw upon our experience from the past.

C.Build our ambition to reshape history.

D.Increase the population of the world.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.The Bright and Promising Future of Mankind

B.Science and Technology Connected with Humans

C.The Fully and Highly Evolved Human Species

D.Different Researches Conducted on Our Future

It’s always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?

The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems that the future of computing is about to change dramatically.

Magic Leap’s preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.

The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.

Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the company’s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.

All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?

It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company?

A. The company is working on new technology that could improve the future of computing.

B. The company keeps updating the media on its progress.

C. The company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing.

D. The company’s newly released video is about the interaction between a dragon pet and its user.

2.What could a classroom in the future look like, according to Magic Leap?

A. A miniature 3D man could take the place of teachers.

B. Students could be encouraged to raise a virtual reality pet on campus.

C. The gaming industry could be invited to help students improve their studies.

D. Students could interact with virtual reality animals.

3.How could Magic Leap’s technology change the world according to the article?

A. It could discourage people from playing a lot of computer games.

B. It could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users.

C. It could help people improve their ability to interact with others.

D. It could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.

4.What is Google’s attitude toward the technology named “Cinematic Reality”?

A. Unconcerned.　　 B. Optimistic.

C. Worried.　　 D. Negative.

The office of the future will look quite different from the office of today. There will be big savings in space, because records will not to be kept on paper. Also, because things can be done at a much quicker pace, it’s likely that working hours will be much shorter. 1.Because a company needs less stuff it can afford to pay workers more money.

2.Are you a secretary, clerk, or a receptionist? If you are, you should be worried by the changes that are going to take place. Because of information technology, your job may become unnecessary in the near future. You will certainly have to know more about using the computer. 3.Instead of doing just one of the three jobs mentioned above, it’s likely that a person will have to do all three. Because of this, there’s likely to be unemployment. While bosses will benefit because they can employ less people, thousands of office workers will find themselves out of work. 4.They will be forced to learn new skills which require the use of the computer to survive.

There may be some good points to the changes for workers as well as employers however. Government should benefit from IT and have more money to spend. Because of the increase in revenue(收入) caused by higher productivity, the government could afford to spend more on things such as social work, charities and culture.5.
