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 average,men are about three inches taller.Five hundred yearsis relatively short period of time,so we may assume 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 shallneed larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head,inparticular the forehead,will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact,we use them so much thatvery often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over very longperiod 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 wilgrow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair?This will probably disappear from the body altogethern course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In theuturez 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 use.He will still be ahuman being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36.The passage mainly tells us that_.A.man s life will be different in the futureB.future man will look quite different from usC.man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD.man s organs functions will be one the wane37.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 getting 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.38.The change in man s size of forehead is probably 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.39.What is true about a human being in the future?A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C.His fingers grow weaker because he doesnz t have to make use of them.D.He thinks and feels in different way.40.It is implied that_.A.human beings will become less attractive in the future.B.less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC.human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD.future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today,the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services isalso steadily increasing.One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry.Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists and guides,brochures,souvenirs is one of the major industries in many countries.Since peopie are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world,this business will no doubt continue to grow.Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment.Movies,TV shows,coneerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure.The same can be said of most books,except textbooks.Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time.This list could be greatly extended.But even among these industries,we have mentioned only part of the picture.The peoplewho make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41.What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A.People1 s leisure time is increasing.B.More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C.Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D.Longer vacations are offered than before.42.What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A.It is the biggest leisure industry.B.Movies,TV shows,concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C.People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D.Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What s main idea of this passage?A.With people having more leisure time,tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B.With people having more leisure time,entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C.With people

would have dreamed of doing the repairsand decorations in their own homes.In those days labor was fairly cheap andmost people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painterand decorator,unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves.Today,however;it is quite a different story.Men and women in aII walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting,papering,putting up shelves and wall units,and tiling walls and floors.Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully builttheir own houses.These jobs have been made easier today by the introductionof prepared materials,which require the minimum amount of skill to use.In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one/Do-it-YourselfMshop containing a vast range of timber,tiles,paints,wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories.Do-it-Yourseir is a booming business;all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so.Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.44.Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?A.Because they could not do it themselves.B.Because professional workers were very cheap.C.Because they had no time.D.Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A.People could do everything

beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singersz actors and hosts.It was the advertisement that frustrated me.Ad is a great annoyance of watching television.In the first place,the ads waste time.Generally speaking,at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program,and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie.Inthe second place,the ads often interrupt the viewer.The viewer may forget thesituation of a show because of frequently inserted ads;even worse,the watchermay lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another;which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment,depression,anxiety and so on so forth.Besides,the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are,some of which even look so disgusting.For example,anexpensive car is made to seem luxurious,or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower!Thereforez the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.48.Why the author was one of the TV fans in the past?A.Because he could stay with his favorite

claims)the word s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald*s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino,California,in1948 by brothers Mac and Richard Dick McDonald.Mac ran the restaurant side;Dick was the marketing genius.He had already invented the drive-in laundryand had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising.Now he spotted the gap in the post-war;baby-boom market for cheap,family-orientated restaurants with simple menus,standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start,business began to boom.By 1954,the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur,a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer,milk shake maker used throughout theMcDonald7 s chain.A year later,Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers chainof 25 franchises for the equivalent of around$70m(4
