LISTENING TEXT：
Parlt 1
Hello!Greetings from tlle future!My name's Mekanika and I live in me year 3044．Well，that’s what yon would can it．We can it the year 58 AL．AL means“After Leaving”．You see，58 years ago，people on the earth decided that they had to do something to save the people on the planet．There were so many people on the earth，and there was so much pollution，that the only way to keep the planet from dying was to send people into space.My family was one of the chosen ones.About one third of the earth’s population was left back home, and the rest of us went into space.We are now living in a new city on the planet Mars.Life here is very nice,and we are happy in our home.We still keep in touch with the people on earth and some of us go back home are doing their best to clean up the plant.My grandparents and parents tell me about the earth and it sounds like a beautiful place .when my scientice teacher told me that we could use our school’s time machine to send messages to the past,I want to send one to you and tell you about life here.
Part 2
Every morning，I have to get up at two o’clock.That probably sounds very strange to you，but，you have a different time system here．We divide into eight parts．Two o'clock in the morning here on Mars is almost like six o’clock on earth.I eat breakfast with my family before I go to school. The food here is different from your food：we eat pills and drink juice to stay healthy.My history book says that you ate something called bread and even ate meat from other animals!That sounds very strange to me．We don't eat any animals here and I’ve even seen bread．At three thirty I catch the schoo1 spaceship and fly to class．We don't have schoo1s and
classrooms．We meet our learning guides(you called them teachers)in different places and solve problems together．I love schoo1．My friends are wonderful and I like to think about the world in new ways．I also like creating things with my mind box (you called it a computer)．I’m very interested in what you call‘‘painting”and“singing”．Can you please tell me more about what they are?I’ve read about your life in my history book，but it’s difficult to understand how you lived such a long time ago．Could you please write to me and teⅡme about your life?Thank you．I have to get back to work．I have a test in Marsgeography next week，so I need to prepare for it．
Best wishes，Mekanika

A．combined B．having combined
C．tombine D．being combined
[解析]owing t0介詞短語(yǔ)，后接動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)作賓語(yǔ)，combine與名詞aluminum是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用動(dòng)名詞的被動(dòng)形式。being combined表示“正在被聯(lián)合”，顯然本題無(wú)此語(yǔ)境。C、D兩項(xiàng)因?yàn)槭侵鲃?dòng)形式，也不符合本題語(yǔ)態(tài)要求。 [答案]A

[解析]本題考查動(dòng)詞appreciate的用法及動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。preciate(感激)后面用動(dòng)名詞，即-ing形式，所以所給選項(xiàng)中可以排除B、C兩項(xiàng)。主句中的now and then(時(shí)常)表明本句的動(dòng)名詞應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，所以D項(xiàng)可以排除。剩余的一項(xiàng)為惟一正確選項(xiàng)。句意為“由于我要離開至少一年的時(shí)能不時(shí)地收到你的來(lái)信，告訴我各位的情況，我會(huì)十分感謝。”[答案]A

1． 常用來(lái)引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句的有從屬連詞that，whether；連接代詞who，what，which；副詞when，where，how，why等。

eg：It remains a secret how this boy climbed up the hill．
這個(gè)男孩是如何上山的仍是個(gè)謎。
It's not been decided when the project will be started．

It's a pity(that)they missed the early bus to Shanghai．
It seems unlikely(that)she will refuse the offer．
4．如果含有主語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句是疑問(wèn)句，一般要用帶形式主語(yǔ)it的句型；但．what，whatever或whoever引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句一般不用于帶形式主語(yǔ)的句型，即使在疑問(wèn)句中亦如此。
eg：Has it been decided where we'll have the party?
Is what you told me last night really true?
5．It is said that．…It is believed that…等句式是固定用法，其中的主語(yǔ)從句不可置于句首。
6．引導(dǎo)名詞性從句的that和what．．
that引導(dǎo)主從，賓從，表從時(shí)在句中無(wú)詞義，只起連接作用。引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，that可省略；引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句時(shí)常用形式主語(yǔ)it代替主語(yǔ)從句。what引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句、賓語(yǔ)從句、表語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，不但起連接作用，而且有具體意義，意為“the thing(s)that(which)所 ……的人(物)”。簡(jiǎn)言之，從句中如果主語(yǔ)和表語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)都不缺少時(shí)，連接詞用that，否則用what。
eg：The fact is that we are far behind the developed countries in science and technology．The village is no longer what it used to be ten years ago．

[解析]本句考查同位語(yǔ)從句與定語(yǔ)從句的區(qū)別。同位語(yǔ)從句
用來(lái)說(shuō)明前面標(biāo)志詞的內(nèi)容，that在同位語(yǔ)從句中不作任何成分，但不可省略；而定語(yǔ)從句用來(lái)限制或修飾前面的先行詞，that在定語(yǔ)從句中作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)在非正式文體和口語(yǔ)中可省略。由此可知，第(1)句是個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句，第(2)句是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，what不引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，when表時(shí)間．兩題均無(wú)此語(yǔ)境。 [答案] (1)A(2)B

Can you imagine what our life will be like in the year 2050?
Perhaps you will be flying off for a holiday on the moon，or maybe You will be taking your dog for a walk in virtual(虛擬)realily．
we recently carried out a survey(調(diào)查)0f 1，000 people from different countries to find out what they think life will be like in the future．The results clearly show both our hopes and fears．
The survey suggests that friendship--one of the most important human relationships-will have changed dramatically(顯著)．People will make friends mainly through the Internet．What is more，a large number 0f people will come across their future spouses(配偶)in this way!computers will have become completely necessary by 2050．Even now，some people begin to regard them as their best friends. 0thers，however，say that we will become much more separated and estranged(疏遠(yuǎn)的)from each other because we will have little real human contact．
Edueation will have changed a 1ot，too．As more and more children will be using tomputers in schools，certain abilities，such as memtal arithmetic(心算)，won't be necessary since there will be computer programs for most calculations(計(jì)算)．Eyen writing by hand-at least to some extent--will have become a thing of the past．
According to the survey，home life will be more and more comfortable．Most people believe that by 2050 robots will be doing housework and we will rely mainly on ready-made food．A lot of people think that we might only cook for fun in the future．
Space exploration(探險(xiǎn))will become increasingly popular．Fifty percent of the people we talked to believe that man will regularly visit Mars．They also believe that travel on our own planet will probably change．Almost everyone thinks that there will be no cars in the city center． Some even think that environmentally-friendly
(利于環(huán)保的)electric or solar-powered cars will have replaced the cars we use now．
Pollution is something that worries us very much．Some fear that it will continue to get worse，and that it will be impossible for us to live on our polluted planet．0thers even foresee(預(yù)言)that one day we’ll have to pay for clean air．
On the other hand，people seem to be quite optimistic about the benefits of genetic(遺傳)engineering，as they think scientists will use it to cure diseases like cancers and AIDS．If scientists manage to find a cure for these，we'll have a much healthier society．
Some people worry about the future，while others are full of hope and confidence(信心)．No matter how dark or bright it may seem，it is up to us to look after our planet and try to make it a better globe to live on．

As you move around your home，take a good look at the things yon have.It is 1ikely that your living room will have a television set and a video，and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven.Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need．Yon almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer，holiday abroad at 1east once a year and eat out at least once a week．
Now，perhaps，more than ever before，people are wondering what life is a11 about，and what it is for．Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world．They feel that the 1ong-hours work culture to make more to buy more things is eating up their lives，leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes．Many are turning t0 other ways of living and downshifting is one of them．
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year．One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz．They used to werk in central London．He was a newspapor reporter and she used to work for an international bank．They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(效區(qū))leaving their two children wwith a nanny(保姆)．Most evenings Dalliel wouldn't get home untill eight or nine o'clock．a(chǎn)nd nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings．They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by．
Nowadays．they run a farm in the mountains of Wales．“I always wanted to have a farm here�！眘ays Daniel，“and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift．It’s taken some getting used to，but it’s been worth it．We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no 1onger have any holidays．However．I think it’s made us stronger as a family ,and the children are a lot happier．”
Liz．however，is not quite sure，“I used to enjoy my job，even though it was hard work and long hours．I’m not really a country girl，but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to 1ooking after the animals．0ne thing I do like，though，is being able to see more of my children．My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too mach or you might not do it a11．”

What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50，000 years from now"?We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today,for mall 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 average，men are about three inches taller．Five hundred years is a relativelv short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller．Again，in the modem 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 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 1ikely to grow weaker．At tlhe 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 tobe bald．
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to 1ook 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． -
51．The passage mainly tells us that--．
A．man’s life will be different in the future .
B．future man will 1ook quite different from us
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D．human’s organs’functions will become weak
52．What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had．
B．Man’s hair is gretting thinner and thinner．
C．Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker．
D．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years．
53．The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because____.
A．he makes use only 20％of the brain's capacity
B．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C．the other 80％of his brain will grow in due time
D．he¨will use his brain more and more as time goes on
54．What will be true about a human being in the future?
A．He will be hairless because hair is no lonlger useful．
B．He will have smaller eyes and will wear better dasses．
C．His fingers will grow weaker beoause he won’t have to make
use of them．
D．He will think and feel in a different way．
55．It is implied that--．
