Famous Last Words
Not all① predictions come true②.Many of them are wrong，and some are very wrong.Here are just a few of the bad predictions people made in the twentieth century about the twenty­first century：
◆定语从句people made...修饰predictions，其中省略了引导词that/which，因为that/which在此从句中作made的宾语。

AIRPLANES
“No flying machine③ will ever fly from New York to Paris.”
Orville Wright, 1908.
COMPUTERS
“I think there is a world market for maybe④ five computers.”
Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM，1943.
CLOTHES
“Thirty years from now people will be wearing clothes made of paper which they will be able to throw away after wearing them two or three times⑤.”
Changing Times Magazine, 1957.
◆过去分词短语made of paper作定语，修饰clothes，可转化为定语从句that/which are made of paper；定语从句which they will be able to throw away 也修饰clothes。

MEN ON THE MOON
“With the first moon colonies⑥predicted⑦for the 1970’s⑧，work is now in progress⑨ on the types of building required for men to stay in⑩ when they’re on the moon.”
Arnold B, Barach in The Changes to Come, 1962.
◆过去分词短语required for men to stay in作定语。

◆动词不定式to Come作定语，意为“即将到来的”。

THE BEATLES
“We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out⑪.”
Decca Recording Co.rejecting⑫ the Beatles⑬， 1962.
ROBOTS⑭ IN THE HOUSE
“By the year 2000, housewives will probably have a robot shaped⑮ like a box with one large eye on the top，several arms and hands, and long narrow pads⑯ on the side for moving about⑰.”
New York Times，1966.
◆过去分词短语shaped like a box作定语，修饰a robot。

◆with one large eye on the top 是with复合结构。

此句的with复合结构构成是：with＋名词＋介词短语。

KEYS
“By the mid­1980’s no one will ever need to hide a key under the doormat⑱again, because there won’t be any keys.”
Computer scientist Christopher Evans, The Micro Millennium，1979.

”

衣服

”
《流年杂志》，1957。

月球上的人类
“因为预测在20世纪70年代将会有第一批到月球的移民，现在正在修建这几种类型的
建筑物，当人类在月球上时，他们需要住在里面。

”
阿诺德·B.贝拉克在《未来变化》中，1962。

甲壳虫乐队
“我们不喜欢他们的歌声，吉他音乐即将过时。

”
反对甲壳虫乐队的迪卡唱片公司，1962。

家庭机器人

”
《纽约时报》，1966。

钥匙
“到20世纪80年代中期人们将没有必要再把钥匙藏在门前的擦鞋垫下面了，因为那时将不会有钥匙了。

”
电脑科学家克里斯多弗·埃文斯，《微机黄金时代》，1979。

Ⅱ阅读理解
Thinking about the future isn’t a special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars. We make to－do lists, a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy. We look up the weekend’s weather. We make predictions about the results of sporting events. We practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us. We daydream about events we’re eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.
Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or maybe even the next few years of our lives. Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what action we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years from now. This kind of far－future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.
Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031. Why indeed think about such remote futures? Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world, and our lives, decades in advance? And if so, what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?
These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists. I was personally inspired by the discussions, and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life. They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place. Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught. Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would
be like in the future.
【解题导语】本文主要写了对于未来的思考，以及未来思考可以给社会带来很大的好处。

1．The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to ________．
A．draw readers’ attention
B．tell readers the main idea of the passage
C．entertain readers
D．explain the topic
D解析：推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“Thinking about the future isn’t a special skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. ”思考未来不是什么特别的技巧。

事实上，每个人都一直在做，可见下文中的例子都是围绕着这个中心为中心服务的，所以答案选D。

2．The underlined word “domain” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “__________”．
A．understanding B．field
C．choice D．rule
B解析：词义猜测题。

根据第二段中的“what our lives will be like or what action we should prepare to take in the far future”我们的生活会是什么样子或是我们在遥远的未来应该准备采取什么样的行动，这种类型的未来考虑应该是专业未来学家思考的范围，可以猜测domain是领域的意思，故选B。

3．Which of the following things might a futurist think about?
A．The result of sporting event being held.
B．The weather of the coming weekend.
C．A life－threatening disease that doesn’t exist yet.
D．A new technology widely used in daily life.
C解析：细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that don’t exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031.”未来学家被训练想象似乎对别人不可能的遥远的现实：还不存在的技术，法律的巨大变化，有可能在2031年感染我们的奇怪的疾病。

所以C选项有可能是未来学家考虑的，所以答案选C。

4．What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.
B．The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.
C．It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.
D．Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.
D解析：推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.”如果我们都学会了这种使我们能够思考未来的事物的宝贵的技能，社会将受益匪浅。

所以答案选D。
