We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.
D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
3.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
A. disappointed B. optimistic
C. curious D. surprised

A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

From the beginning of human history, wild animals provided food, clothing and sometimes medicine for man. We may not depend as much on wild animals now. But we hear about them every day. Americans use the names of animals in many ways. Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies especially like to use big cats to sell their products. They like lions, tigers and wildcats. When Americans say wildcat, they usually mean a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat. All these cats attack quickly and fiercely. So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.
An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different. It was used to describe members of Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812. A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen went home. It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unnecessary war.
Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s. At that time, some states permitted banks to make their own money. One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it. Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered. So the money had little or no value. It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat banknote. The banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks. A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money. It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.
Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it. Dishonest developers would buy such property. Then they would sell it and leave town with the money. The buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground. Today, wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not known to have oil.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Wildcats and their stories.
B. Wildcats and their characters.
C. Varieties of animal species.
D. Relationship between animals and humans.
2.The underlined words "a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat" in Paragraph 1 may refer to " ".
A. gasoline companies
B. automobile manufacturers
C. brands of automobile
D. names of wildcats
3.Which of the following would people like to have or trust according to the passage?
A. Wildcat congressmen. B. Wildcat oil wells.
C. Wildcat banks. D. Wildcat cars.
4.It can be inferred that during the days of wildcat money .
A. people couldn't buy anything with the money
B. people complained and suffered a lot
C. the rich invested too much on oil wells
D. people didn't know how to save money
