单元测试卷（三）

(时间：100分钟；满分：120分)

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

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 health will be in 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 optimistic about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

B

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions but the answers to them are still not clear.

We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental

exercise

is

particularly

important

for

young

children.Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think

about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If，on the other hand，children are often left alone with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as “That was a very clever thing you did” or “You are such a smart child”．

ChiChi weighs only 13 pounds.“He's so tiny.I can carry him with one hand，”says Mary Lane.“Most people see him and think he's useless.”

But last October，ChiChi proved to be more than just a pretty face.Mary and her husband，Rick，were relaxing on the beach one afternoon while on vacation in North Carolina's Outer Banks.As usual，ChiChi was lying on his blanket in his own little beach chair.

“We had our noses buried in books，”recalls Rick，“when suddenly the dog became extremely uneasy.His bark was different from anything
