阅读下列短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity.First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead，people will choose a programme from a ‘menu’ and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.Today，we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away.By 2050，music，films，programmes，newspapers and books will come to us completely this way.
In what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems.In many places，people are growing more fruit and vegetables to export.Thus，demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050，the computer will drive it to your destination and there won't be any accidents.On the other hand，by 2050 space planes will fly all over the world in just two hours.
Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050，we will see robots everywhere—in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.
Last but not least，by 2050，we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again.Scientists have discovered how to control genes.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?
36．People in 2050 will get information mainly ______. A．from TV channels B．from newspapers C．on the radio D．on the Internet
37．What will be the major cause of water shortage in the future? A．The increasing population. B．Wars around the world.
C．Changes in agricultural production. D．The worsening environment.
38．At present，humans are unlikely to ______. A．tell drivers their positions using computers B．depend largely on space planes to travel around C．control the genes and reduce certain diseases D．use robots a lot because of the high expenses 39．Which topic is not mentioned in the passage? A．Entertainment. B．Health.
C．Climate. D．Transportation.
B
Free energy is everywhere around us.There are many ways to make and collect energy from
various sources like sun，wind and water.People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too.For example，riding a bike，running or just walking，etc.We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
So comes the idea of solar roadways.Are they the road of future？Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls（过路费）？Why don't we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel.So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded（嵌入的）LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour（绕行）ahead.The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”．There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup，providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt（沥青）roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change.Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots，finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can't wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future. 40．The first paragraph serves as a（n）______. A．argument B．comment C．explanation D．background
41．When some animals are on the solar road，what will the road do? A．Guide them to a safer place. B．Remind drivers to drive slowly. C．Frighten them away from the road. D．Advise drivers to choose another way.
42．From the text，we can know that the Solar Road Panels can ______. A．provide heat for drivers in winter
B．guide drivers who get lost on the highway C．melt snow and ice soon in winter
D．help drivers see the road clearly in the sun
43．What attitude does the writer have towards solar roadways? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Worried. Ⅳ．七选五 阅读理解 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What to do in a fire
Fire drills are a big part of being safe in school.But what if there was a fire where you live？Would you know what to do？Talking about fires can be scary because no one likes to think about people getting hurt.__44__ Know your way out
An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house.__45__ So it's important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.It's a good idea to draw a map of the escape plan.
Stay low
If you can see smoke in the house，stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.__46__ You'll breathe less smoke if you stay close to the ground.Smoke naturally rises，so staying low means you can crawl（匍匐行进）under most of it.
Ask for help
__47__ You can do this from an open window or call 119 if you have a phone with you.Never hide under the bed or in a closet.Then，firefighters will have a hard time finding you.
__48__ It's great to talk about emergency plans，but it's even better if you practice them.Having a fire drill at home gives everyone a chance to see how they would react in a real emergency.Your
