Over the centuries, there have been a few people who plan the future of the world for a living and they 【小题1】 (call) futurologists.

Hundreds of futurologists will gather at Newcastle University to hold a seminar about the future. Many people will attend the seminar with dreams of starting new enterprises 【小题2】 (base) on the predictions they will hear. I clicked 【小题3】 the websites of a few futurologists and got several predictions.

【小题4】 (short), computers will become handier. Then all of us can use our voices to control computers such as downloading files 【小题5】 updating computers just by saying a few words. By 2015, garments will have been made of new materials that will remain stainless 【小题6】 you spill on them, and they will never get old and worn. By 2025, there will have been no 【小题7】 (starve), no people who have to live on welfare, no discrimination, no conflict and people 【小题8】 (live) in peace and equality. By 2030, tiny, insect-like robots may be sent around the cells of our bodies 【小题9】 (assess) our health , which will have made it possible for us to live for at least 150 years.

   Self-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.

While Mcity can be used to simulate(模拟)many real-life road conditions,it can't help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention(意图)to other drivers,pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution,US car manufacturer Ford,with researchers from Virginia Tech,at the beginning considered using text as a way to communicate the car's intention,but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also rejected,because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean.

Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to speed up.

Then came the big challenge—testing the signals on real roads. "We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you've got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans," said Andy Shaudt, who led the research team. "So we needed to make it look like a driverless car."

The team designed a car seat costume(戏装)that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course,the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar,which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers,all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be noticed,took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.

The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?

【小题1】What did the team first consider using as a way to communicate the car's intention?
A.Light.B.Language.
C.Symbols.D.Sound.
【小题2】The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A.symbolsB.drivers
C.researchersD.flashes
【小题3】What does a rapidly flashing light mean?
A.The car was coming to a stop.
B.There was no driver in the car.
C.The car was about to speed up.
D.The car was about to slow down.
【小题4】The car seat costume was intended to ________.
A.amuse the driverB.attract the pedestrians
C.warn the cyclistsD.confuse the people

   Government intelligence agencies have a plan to build computers that store information inside DNA and other organic molecules(分子).

Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity(IARPA)announced plans to develop tabletop-sized machines that can store and retrieve(取回)data from large batches of polymers — a term that refers to a wide variety of long,string-like molecules. Polymers can store data in individual atoms or groups of atoms.

The project is an attempt to solve a basic problem of the modern era:the vast and growing costs of data storage. Datacenters around the world sucked up 416. 2 terawatt hours of electricity in 2016. That's about 3 percent of the global supply,and it accounts for 2 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A 2016 paper found that DNA,in particular,could store computer information more densely,require less energy,and survive higher and lower temperatures than conventional hard drives. The authors of that paper reported on the successes of prototype(雏形)DNA computers that used the genetic molecules for both long-term storage and random access memory(RAM).

But no one has yet figured out how to handle DNA data storage on large scales.

IARPA officials said the new effort, called Molecular Information Storage, will be broken up into three periods:a two-year program to figure out how to store data in DNA or other molecules at high speed,a two-year program to figure out how to retrieve that data at high speed, and a two-year effort to develop an operating system that can run on that DNA.

Many of the technologies IARPA wants to develop are untested at these scales, so it's unclear how far away that proposed tabletop device really is.

【小题1】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Store Data on DNA Computers
B.Develop Computers of Future
C.Polymers Used to Store Data
D.Information Stored in DNA
【小题2】Which of the following best explains“sucked up”underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Consumed.B.Stored.
C.Delivered.D.Produced.
【小题3】What can Molecular Information Storage do compared to traditional hard drives?
A.Produce and save less energy.
B.Store more information faster.
C.Be better for the environment.
D.Control temperatures more easily.
【小题4】Where can you find the course of the test about Molecular Information Storage?
A.In Paragraph 3.B.In Paragraph 4.
C.In Paragraph6.D.In Paragraph 7.

   Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’re connected (连接) to the Internet, there are a lot of things you can do. You can send e-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can communicate with your friends through social software such as QQ, WeChat, and Facebook. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW) .

There are many different types of computers now. They all can be linked to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people or companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to surf the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can explore the Internet to search for useful information or knowledge in your classroom. However, in order to prevent yourself from playing with computer games, you should use it in limited time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at any time.

Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, receiving and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want through the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

【小题1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The Internet.B.Information.
C.Computers.D.English.
【小题2】According to the passage, you can do all the following things through the Internet except for_______.
A.sending and receiving e-mailsB.chatting with your friends
C.buying and producing thingsD.dealing with information
【小题3】Who is the owner of the Internet?
A.The headmaster.B.The government officer.
C.The user.D.No one.
【小题4】What does the writer try to tell us in the last two sentences of the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is more and more popular.
B.English is important in using the Internet.
C.The information on the Internet is all in English.
D.Every computer must be joined to the Internet in English.
