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.
1.We will have developed ________ in a hundred years’ time, permitting long journeys all over the solar system.
A.cheap rockets for space travel. B.a plane
C.a spaceship D.a satellite
2.Man will also have supersonic land travel ________
A.in a year B.about half a century later
C.in the year 2005 D.about a century later
3.Which of the following is true? ________
A.There must be a permanent station on the moon in the future.
B.There will be no pollution in the future.
C.There is no cities in Antarctica now.
D.We may find a treatment for cancer in the future.
4.The last paragraph mainly talks about ________
A.we’ll make good use of space on the earth.
B.cities under the sea.
C.Japan will first build floating cities.
D.earth’s land is in danger.

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性). Today’s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence---knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
1. The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _____ in this passage.
A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective
B. to injure or harm one's own interests
C. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly
D. to grow forth(向前) from the ground
2. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when___.
A. he is forced to do things B. he cannot work at his best
C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.
B. Working conditions affect people’s physical health.
C. Good relationship is the key to business success.
D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.
4. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ____.
A. provide better suggestions B. develop his own personality
C. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear
5. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to_____.
A. provide a variety of project for employees
B. help raise employees’ living standards
C. give employees’ specific instructions(指导)
D. deal wisely with employees’ emotions

English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before.” he said.
1.In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
A.remain widespread and important
B.be more important than any other language
C.lose its dominant position
D.die away in the near future
2.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
A.more and more language users will choose English
B.the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C.English language will soon drop in dominance
D.snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
3.How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
4.What should be the best title for the passage?
A.English Remaining in the Dominant Position
B.The Future of English? Who Knows?
C.Opinions from Different Experts
D.The English Language Snowball Rolling Down

Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling(直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
1.According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted(认为理所当然) is________.
A.our ability to use language
B.the miracle of technology
C.the amazing power of nature
D.our ability to make noises with mouth
2.What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human and animals?
A.Lifting heads when sad.
B.Keeping long faces when angry.
C.Bristling hair when ready to attack.
D.Bowing heads when willing to obey.
3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Body language is unique to humans.
B.Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C.Humans have other powers of communication.
D.Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
4.This passage is mainly about _______.
A.the development of body language.
B.the special role humans play in nature
C.the power to convey information to others
D.the difference between humans and animals in language use
