Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe(假設(shè)；虛構(gòu)) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娛樂) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir(繼承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
【小題1】According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D. A sea.
【小題2】What will people eat then according to the passage?
| A．Biscuits in pill form. | B．Foods in gas form. |
| C．Foods in water form. | D．Foods in pill form. |
| A．Because they don’t eat meat . |
| B．Because doctors advise them not to eat meat. |
| C．Because the number of animals decreases. |
| D．Because all the animals have died of diseases. |

Schedules, as the 21st century people know, simply did not exist in the 17th and 18th centuries. We are upset if a plane arrives an hour late. Our ancestors weren’t upset if an April ship didn’t show up until June. They began to worry in July and were often happy when it showed up in August. When a long-distance ship finally did get to the port, the whole city became busy and excited. Businessmen hurried down to check the goods they had ordered. The ship would probably stay in port for at least three days, often a week, to take on businessmen, give the sailors a rest, find out about the latest news, weather conditions, and so on.
Travel time could only be approximate. One never knew when the winds would be good. So even though “average sailing time” was given, time could change considerably, shortening the voyage by up to 25% or putting it off by up to 500% or more! The average run from England to Boston was about a month and a half, but there were also voyages of three months. One voyage in 1640 lasted six months!
Travel time is not the same in both directions, due to the winds and currents. This is especially true in the Caribbean, where winds are from the southeast the entire year. Ships sailing west across the Atlantic spend longer than ships sailing east, and the contrary winds can prevent a ship from actually making it to the harbor even if it gets close. One ship was held off the North Carolina coast for 17 days before being able to land!
1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. No sailor was allowed to have fun when the ship reached land.
B. People in ancient times didn’t care about other people’s safety.
C. The ship would leave for a voyage when all of the preparations were made.
D. A long-distance ship would create a lot of excitement in the place where it landed.
2. According to the passage, travel time can’t be fixed due to ___________ .
A. the people at the port B. average sailing time
C. the changeable climate D. the businessmen and the sailors
3. The underlined word “currents” in the third paragraph means __________ .
A. the movement of water B. the movement of winds
C. direction of the traveling ship D. travel time of ships

"Time," says the proverb, "is money". This means that every moment well spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our abilities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, who think nothing of wasting time, remember this. Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we often care little about the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum of the days and of the hours we live. A wasted day or an hour is therefore so much life missing. Our life is a brief span measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea; some in merry-making; some in watching over the sick-beds of our nearest and dearest relatives. Now if all these years were to be deducted (扣除) from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life. All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other part of our existence. For those are the periods when alone we can gain knowledge and develop our abilities. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to make up the loss. Just as money laid out for interest doubles or trebles (成三倍) itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will bring lots of advantages for us. 68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the selection? A. Treasure your time B. Life is short C. Study is important D. Save time 69. The author gives us a proverb at the beginning of the selection___________. A. to present the topic directly B. to inform the readers of the type of the selection C. to tell us how the selection is organized D. to explain why he writes such a selection 70. According to the selection, if you waste several hours playing net games, __________. A. you can make up the loss by staying up B. you will lose the time for ever C. you must double your work D. you will be cleverer, though. 查看答案和解析>> 同步練習(xí)冊答案 湖北省互聯(lián)網(wǎng)違法和不良信息舉報平臺 | 網(wǎng)上有害信息舉報專區(qū) | 電信詐騙舉報專區(qū) | 涉歷史虛無主義有害信息舉報專區(qū) | 涉企侵權(quán)舉報專區(qū) 違法和不良信息舉報電話：027-86699610 舉報郵箱：58377363@163.com版權(quán)聲明：本站所有文章，圖片來源于網(wǎng)絡(luò)，著作權(quán)及版權(quán)歸原作者所有，轉(zhuǎn)載無意侵犯版權(quán)，如有侵權(quán)，請作者速來函告知，我們將盡快處理，聯(lián)系qq：3310059649。 ICP備案序號: 滬ICP備07509807號-10 鄂公網(wǎng)安備42018502000812號 |
