Ⅶ. 阅读理解

(A)

Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now, many changes will take place(发生). But what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people do now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in school then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries on holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead, they will eat more fruit and vegetables. And people will be healthier.

Work in the future will also be different. Robots will do dangerous and hard work instead of man. Because of this, many people will lose their jobs. This will be a problem.

1. Every family will have at least one ____.

A. robot B. cow C. rocket D. computer

2. In the future, people don’t have to ____.

A. do dangerous work B. work fast

C. walk on foot D. eat meat

4. One big problem in the future is that ____.

A. many people don’t have to work

(B)

Robots are (1)______. They have been into space, into the oceans(海洋), and even into volcanoes(火山)! (2)It’s not hard to think of a future when robots will do everything people do.

In the future, robots might look, talk and walk like people. some scientists say you may even have robotic(机器人的) friends (3)几年以后. But for this to happen, robots must be able to think and have emotions(感情). Scientists are already making robots that can act like animals.

Professor Ayanna Luc Steels from France is one of these scientists. He is the man behind Sony’s “Aibo” robotic dog. Aibo can understand over 70 words and find its own way around a house! But Professor Steels really wants to make robots that can act and think like people.

“Today, robots are like actors――they may show emotions, but they don’t feel them,” Professor Steels says. “I want to change (4)that.”

“Robots will be more like people in the future,” Professor Steels says. But most will still only do jobs people can’t do, or don’t want to do. Robots never get bored, tired or scared. So they are perfect(完美的) for working in factories or dangerous places.

Will robots take over the world? (5)Most scientists don’t think this will happen, at least before robots can think!

If a robot can’t think, it can only do things it’s told to do by people. so don’t worry yet!

根据短文内容完成下列任务:

1. 在(1)的空白处填入一个适当的词语:______

2. 将划线部分(2)改写成: ____ of a future when robots will do everything people do ____ hard.
