Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, youre not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.Its time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example - what will be the next?1 We can learn from the text that in the future_.A. people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern2 What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.

His job is to share his expertise(专长) with students in schools, chess camps and other events.During Sudan's civil war in the mid-1980s, Juac was forced out of the country with 20,000 0ther so -called Lost Boys. He fled to Ethiopia, then to Kenya staying in a refugee camp for eight years, where he learned to play chess.Juac described a dangerous journey in which half the boys didn't survive. To eat, they had to kill wild animals."There were animals on the way. It was about a thousand miles and sometimes there was no water. When we were in Ethiopia, we had to cross the river and there a lot drowned."Juac arrived in the United States in 2004 and began working as a security guard. Winning a chess tournament gave him this teaching opportunity. Juac believes chess helps prepare young people for life."Some kids are not interested, so it's your job to make them like the game, to explain them what chess is going to help them with." He said. "Like, I can tell, this game will give you patience, and help with your math skills."Julie Cathone, a second grade teacher in Jackson Public School, agrees. The School's principal, Meghan Kelley, said Juac and chess have made a big difference."What a role model. I mean when you think about just overcoming, and finding what you love and turning that into your life's work."Juac said he enjoys the freedom he has in the United States. But his passion is playing and teaching chess to youngsters. His boss, Michael Propper , said Juac has one great advantage."I think he's believable. I think they look at him and he's so unassuming that they feel like they can do what he's doing and be a person as he is too."Ju ac still has a big goal ahead of him-becoming an international chess master. With his skill and patience, Propper and his peers have no doubt that will happen.5How long did Juac most probably stay in Ethiopia?A. About six years. B. About eight years.C. About twelve years. D. About sixteen years.6We can learn from the passage that Juac _A. must be teaching kids chess for freeB. is patient and good at math problemsC. surely has his own chess school in AmericanD. hasn't taken part in international chess contests7The underlined word "unassuming" probably means _A. not appear important B. seem to be very greatC. appear very charming D. be not strict or serious8Which is the best title for this passage?A. "Lost Boys" Experienced Difficult Times.B. Former Sudan "Lost Boy" Appears in NYC.C. Former Sudan “Lost Boy" Becomes Chess Master.D. African Boy Is Teaching Chess in the United States.CAs a good mother to three children, I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows （誓言）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure; it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.Its so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. Its so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. If you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.9It can be inferred from the passage that_Athe author didn't try her best to work wellBthe author spent all her time caring for her childrenCthe author is a success in personal lifeDthe author likes traveling very much10How did the author form her view of life?AThrough social experienceBBy learning from her friendsCFrom her children and husbandDThrough an unfortunate experience11By the underlined sentence “Its so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to.Awork rather than enjoy lifeBmake a living rather than live a real lifeCwaste a lot in lifeDforget the most important lessons in life12Whats the authors attitude toward work?ADont let it affect your real lifeBEarn enough money to make life betterCDo it well to serve othersDTry your best to get a higher position and a pay raise.DMonthly Talks at London Canal MuseumOur monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.
