A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now。

It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's buildings，underwater ‘bubble' cities and holidays in space。

The report is from a company. It asked experts on space and architecture， as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116。

They said the way we live， work and play will be totally different from how we do these things today。

The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smart phones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things。

The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable。

Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction they thought were most likely to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online。

People will have highly developed 3—D printers that will let you
download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then ‘print’ the sofa，table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor。

We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment。

We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will need to study English.
24。

The writer uses the example of the Internet in Paragraph 1 to show 。

A。

the Internet was often used B。

the Internet has developed fast
C. technology will change people's lives
D. people will not believe the changes
25. With the help of highly developed 3—D printers， a way to get a sofa in 2116 is to 。

A. buy one in a shop B。

ask somebody to make one
C。

design and make one by oneself D. download a design and ‘print’ one
26. The passage is mainly about 。

A。

holidays in space B。

the life in 2116 C. the history of the Internet D。

medical treatment
27。

The passage is most probably from .
A. an advertisement B。

a newspaper C。

a detective story D。

a health report
C
If you're a yoga lover， you've probably noticed the ways yoga works —you’re
sleeping better， getting fewer colds or just feeling more relaxed and at ease。

But if you’ve ever tried telling a beginner how it works, you might find explanations like “It increases the flow of prana” or “It brings energy up your spine” fall on skeptical ears。

As it happens, Western science is starting to provide some concrete clues about how yoga works to improve health， heal aches and pains, and prevent sicknesses. Once you understand them，you’ll have even more motivation to step onto your mat.
I myself have experienced yoga’s healing power in a very real way. Weeks before a trip to India in 2002 to investigate yoga therapy， I developed numbness and tingling (刺痛） in my right hand。

After first considering scary things like a brain tumor and multiple sclerosis, I figured out that the cause of the symptoms was thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve blockage in my neck and chest. Despite the uncomfortable symptoms，I realized how useful my condition could be during my trip. While visiting various yoga therapy centers， I would submit myself for evaluation and treatment by the various experts, try their suggestions and see what worked for me。

Thanks to the techniques I learned in India，advice from teachers in the United States, and my own exploration, my chest is more flexible than it was， my posture has improved，and for more than a year, I’ve been free of symptoms.
My experience inspired me to dig into the scientific studies that I’d collected in India as well as the West to identify and explain how yoga can both prevent disease and help you recover from it.
28。

What is the author probably？
A。

A teacher。

B。

A doctor。

C。

A journalist。

D。

A salesman。

29. Which will further motivate a yoga beginner to step onto the mat?
A. Personal feelings。

B. Professional terms。

C. Western medicine。

D. Scientific evidence。

30. What does the author mainly base on to persuade people to practise yoga?
A。

His own experience. B。

Experts’ evalua tion.
C。

Teachers’ suggestions。

D。

Practitioners’ exploration。

31. What might the text be followed by?
A。

Scientific studies you should do. B. Ways yoga improves your health。

C. The author's trip to India。

D. The author’s recovery from illness。

D
The fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for some time。

Now，scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland， despite having no apparent source of food.
Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013。

They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse's vertical air pipe。

As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The
scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse。

This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.
In July 2015，the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫）， empty cocoons （茧）, and queens。

They found nothing， leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non—reproductive female workers。

Their population is refilled every year， by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole。

The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016，the nest had been repaired。

It appears that despite the terrible conditions， the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.
Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions。

In this case， the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation — a classic example of “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
32. How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?
A. They fell down there by accident。

B. The research team brought them there.
C. The storehouse builders left them there. D。

They were attracted by the environment。

33。

What does the underlined word “eroded" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A. melted. B。

rotted。

C。

exploded。

D. expanded.
34. What did the researchers find in the nest？
A。

Larvae。

B。

Cocoons. C. A queen. D。

Worker ants.
35。

Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?
A。

They had enough food。

B。

They were able to reproduce。

C. They adapted to the conditions.
D. They had new comers to join them.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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.
Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences. 36
♦ Try physical activity
When you are nervous， angry or upset， try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 37
♦ 38
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly， it
will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations。

If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping， you should consult a doctor.
♦ Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be
just as important to your overall well-being as work。

39 。

Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy。

♦ Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there's so much
to do， and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be
too much for you and as a result， you may not achieve anything。

40 Set
out to do the most important task first。

A. If you feel stress is hard to control， seek professional help.
B. Take care of yourself
C。

Running, walking, playing tennis， and working in your garden are just some
of the activities you might try。

D。

You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun
E。

Instead， make a list of everything you have to do, and then do one thing at
a time。

F. Here are some ways you can deal with everyday sources of stress
G. Competing with others， whether in accomplishments， appearance, or possessions， is an avoidable source of stress

I believe in the things that set us 58 . I believe in being myself，no matter how many awkward smiles I 59 。

Dear Tom,
How time flies! It’s one year since you came to study Chinese in our school. In the past year,you have helped us a lot， without which we couldn't have made great progress in English. During this year， we have learned lots of cultures about your country that cannot be found in the book。

Before you leave， many classmates and I intend to hold a farewell party for you， hoping that you can remember the wonderful time we spent together。

By the way the party will be held in our classroom on the afternoon of July 10th.
May you have a pleasant journey home and welcome to China again.
We are looking forward to your coming。

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
