閱讀理解

　　What will man be like in the future－in 5000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today．For man is slowly changing all the time．

　　Let us take an obvious example．Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today．Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller．Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller．

　　Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal．Even so, we still make use of only about 20％ of the brain’s capacity．As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger．

　　Nowadays our eyes are in constant use．In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses．But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger．

　　On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs．These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker．At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life．

　　But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer．In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald!

　　Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true．All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us．He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own．

(1)

The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _________．

[　　]

A．

began to change five hundred years ago

B．

never stops changing

C．

never stops growing

D．

has recently begun

(2)

People’s heads will eventually grow larger．This is because their brains _________．

[　　]

A．

will grow faster

B．

will be in use

C．

will play an important part

D．

will need more room than at present

(3)

Future man will probably _________．

[　　]

A．

have bigger eyes

B．

get weaker eyes

C．

see better

D．

have to wear better glasses

(4)

Future man’s hair will _________．

[　　]

A．

grow darker

B．

stop growing completely

C．

fall out more often

D．

get longer

Head above water？

　　TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea．

　　Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level．Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable．Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered．

　　But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea．Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years．Experts say that it will have sunk another 20～50 cm by 2050．A century ago, St．Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year．Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times．

　　While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming．

　　The average global temperature has increased by almost 0．5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1～3 degrees over the next 100 years．

　　Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川)melt, adding more water to the ocean．The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise．The sea level has risen about 10～25 cm in the last 100 years．

　　The main cause of global warming is human pollution．Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2．This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer．

　　Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes．The sea level could rise by one meter this century．

　　Should this come true, millions of homes will be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live．

(1)

The people of Tuvalu are afraid that _________．

[　　]

A．

they will be in great hunger

B．

salt water will cover the little country

C．

without help, the country will be flooded by rain water

D．

the mud under Tuvalu is going to sink 2．5 cm every year

(2)

What is the result as the climate goes on?

[　　]

A．

Venice will sink 24 cm in the following 100 years．

B．

Only the glaciers can be melted．

C．

It makes the seawater reduced．

D．

The sea level will be raised．

(3)

Why is the globe becoming warmer and warmer?

[　　]

A．

Because that the seawater is being polluted．

B．

Because a lot of terrible fires have broken out in the cities．

C．

Because, with the development of industry and the living level rising, more and more coal, oil and gas are being burnt．

D．

Because the greenhouse is bigger and bigger．

(4)

What does the underlined word“refugees”mean?

[　　]

A．

changes

B．

sea waves

C．

animals

D．

people who lost their homes

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

“Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled .

My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!”

Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫畫(huà)書(shū)) from under his shirt. 

“Oh, Mr. Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs. Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go.

“It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile.

“Oh no,” Mrs. Diaz said. “Let me pay right now ...” She dug in her purse. “How much?”

“Three seventy-five.”

Mrs. Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.  

“It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said.

“No,” Mrs. Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.”

I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought.

I had an idea.

“What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me.

I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.”

“Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs. Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!”  

“Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.

As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) his tongue at me.

Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now. 

56. Where did the story most probably take place? 

A. In a classroom.                           B. In a supermarket.  

C. At a bookstore.                       D. At a library. 

57. By saying “but Ted wouldn’t let go” in Paragraph 4, the author means Ted ______.

A. took the book by mistake      B. wanted to keep the book

C. didn’t want to go home        D. didn’t think he was wrong

58. From the underlined sentences in the eighth paragraph, we may infer that Mrs. Diaz ______. 

A. didn’t think her son stole the book

B. had been out of work for a long time

C. forgot to take money with her that day

D. couldn’t afford to pay for the book

59. In the last paragraph, what does the author mainly tell?

A. His idea was successful.        B. Ted didn’t like the job.

C. He liked Ted very much.        D. Ted was a naughty boy.
