What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Newspaper will come to an end in 2043. In the future, digital(數字的) newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源).
Schools will go electronic(電子化). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

科目：初中英語 來源：2011-2012學年浙江省杭州市教育集團初三中考二模英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.
It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接觸) with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
1.How is man’s intelligence given?
|
A．At birth |
B．Through education |
|
C．Both at birth and through education |
D．Neither at birth nor through education |
2.What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?
|
A．穩固 |
B．確定 |
C．修理 |
D．安排 |
3.According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?
|
A．Become a genius. |
|
B．Still become a genius if he should be given special education. |
|
C．Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment. |
|
D．Never reach his intelligence in his life. |
4.What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?
|
A．The importance of their intelligence. |
|
B．The role of environment on intelligence. |
|
C．The importance of their jobs |
|
D．The part that birth plays |
5.What statement is TRUE according to the passage?
|
A．No education can help make a genius. |
|
B．Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth. |
|
C．People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives. |
|
D．Environment influences people in intelligence developing. |

“Can’t you see?” she said. “You’ve sat me next to a black man. I can’t possibly sit next to this kind of human. Find me another seat!”
