20．What picture do you have of the future？Will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now？What do you hope about the future？
  Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology．First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050．Instead，people will choose a program from a"menu"and a computer will send the program directly to the television．By 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer．
   In what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems．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．In transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast．Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents．Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination．
  In the domain（領(lǐng)域）of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories．Many factories already use robots．Big companies prefer robots-they do not ask for payrises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day．By 2050，we will see robots everywhere-in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，hops and homes．
  Last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases．Today 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？

61．What's the purpose of the first paragraph？A
A．To arouse the interest of the readers．
B．To tell the background of the passage．
C．To introduce the topic of the passage．
D．To describe the pictures of the future．

A．computer will finally take the place of the media nowadays
B．robots will completely have replaced people in factories
C．computers will tell drivers exactly where they are in future
D．it is more convenient to choose programs sent by the computer
63．What's the author's attitude towards the life in the year of 2050？D
A．Excited but pessimistic．
B．Confident but cautious．
C．Eager but afraid．
D．Optimistic but worried．

12．One day，when I was going to check in at an airport，I noticed there was a big problem．The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly!And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle．Everyone was worried，as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight，and the bus was not even at the airport yet．
Finally，the bus pulled up，and the driver said，"They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift （夜班），and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight．Good Luck!"
Needless to say，everyone was in a really bad mood．I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung （吊） my banjo over my back when the driver said，"What？Are you going to play that in my bus？""Well，really did not plan on it，"I replied．"I was only kidding，"said the driver．But I started thinking about it，and I pulled out the banjo．A worried，angry woman said，"Well，what if I don't like it？""Then tell me and I will stop，"I replied．
We drove off，and the tension （緊張） made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous!Then I started plucking （彈奏） the old song Blue Skies．In a few minutes，I noticed everyone was singing along．I started to sing，too，and before long，the whole bus burst into song．
One song led to another，and everyone seemed to have a request．"Do you know You Are My Sunshine？"Everyone laughed and sang，with food passed around the bus，and before long，the airport was in sight．
The bus driver called，"We made it!We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player．"Shouts of approval rang through the bus．People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit，and a few exchanged hugs．The driver said to me，"This was the best ride I ever had．Thanks for your music．"
A few weeks later，my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends．Their letters reminded me of how，by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship，you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience-a magical，musical bus ride．
28．What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2？A

A．cheerful           B．terrible             C．strange          D．changeable 
31．What does this text mainly tell us？B
