Forget about them!In 2030, some of the most popular jobs could be a vertical farmer, space pilot or body part maker, according to a new report. A report was recently commissioned by the U.K.government. It was conducted by asking a unique group of future thinkers to list what science and technology jobs they think would be most popular by the year 2030. They were asked to consider advances and developments which may be achieved between now and then. As you may expect, the results are quite intriguing. For example, computers and robots are expected to transform the fields of medicine and farming. In medicine, the invention of machines that grow limbs and organs will allow for new jobs in professional sports and the military. On the microscopic level, “nanomedicine” would allow scientists to treat cancer and other diseases at the cellular level.Listed below are some of the more interesting occupations you or your future children may be interested in pursuing.Space pilots, tour guides and architects: Space tourism will allow for space pilots, tour guides and the architects that will allow them to live on the moon.Vertical farmers: The future of farming leads straight up into the sky. Vertical farms in densely populated areas could significantly increase food supply.Classroom avatar manager: Intelligent avatars will replace classroom teachers andprofessors. Human interaction will still be needed, but only to properly match “teacher” to student.46. Why does the writer suggest forgetting about careers in law and engineering?a. They will become more difficult in 2030.b. They will totally disappear by 2030.c. There might be better careers available in 2030.d. A government job will pay well in 2030.47.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following excerpt from Music to My Ears and answer the questions that follow.Paul, Accountant, 35Favorite Genre: Gangster RapFavorite Artist: Wu Tang ClanLet me start by saying, I know full well that my choice in music is not everyone’s cup of tea.It surprises people because of my rather strait-laced profession. I love to pump my tunes whenI have guests round for parties, but I would never make anyone listen to my music if they saidthey didn’t like it. There’s quite a lot of bad language in the rap music I listen to, but there’s also a lot of eloquence. People hear the violent lyrics and imagery and think that gangster rap is just mindless gibberish. But many of the best emcees are highly literate and greatstorytellers. It’s really no different from Hollywood. You don’t hear people saying Robert De Niro or Al Pacino are bad guys in real life just because they play gangsters on the big screen.So why does everyone assume the rappers are thugs and criminals just because they paint these pictures of urban life?17.

It is a pitythe same cannot be said for the great fairy hoax of theearly 20th century. This hoax may cause you to burstwith laughter now, but at the time many believers defended its credibility. This very well-planned hoax would continue to fool people for years to come!Having appeared throughout Western cultures since the middle ages, the legend of fairies is widespread. Arguably the most famous of fairy hoaxes is the Cottingley Fairies. A series of photographs were taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths who happen to be youngcousins living in the north of England. The photographs depict the two girls with the supposed mythological creatures. Taken in 1917, the photos divided their growing audience, including the parents of Elsie and Frances.Of course many suspected they were fakes, but others including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, saw them as authentic evidence of the existence of these spirits. It was not until 1981 that Wright and Griffiths finally admitted the photos were actually designed using cardboard cut-outs of the tiny winged creatures. If fact, Wright was an accomplished artist and photo technician so it is difficult in a way to call this hoax a lame attempt to fool people. After all, they managed to fool half the world, didn’t they?46. When did the fairy hoax originally take place?a. the late 20th centuryb. 1981c. the early 20th centuryd. the middles ages47. What does the author mean by the jury is still out?a. Cryptids exist for sure.b. Cryptids might exist.c. Fairies exist for sure. c. Fairies might exist.48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to authentic?a. actualb. fictionalc. burstingd. accomplished49. What were the fairies made out of?a. real tiny peopleb. paperc. tiny winged insectsd. No information is given.50. Why were the pictures of fairies so believable?a. The girls used cutting-edge technology.b. They used pictures from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books.c. One of the girls was very artistic.d. The photos were sent to a technician to add color.。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following Culture Note from Unit 3 and answer the questions that follow.With almost 150 phones for every 100 people, Italy has one of the highest phone to people ratios in the world. Italians of all ages and social background can be seen chatting away on their cell phones at any time of the day. It is not uncommon for Italians to take calls inrestaurants, business meetings and conferences or even to answer their phones during concerts and live performances. As with neighboring Spain, people are also not averse to discussing personal matters out loud in public. It’s all a far cry from countries such as Japan where social etiquette frowns on public cell phone usage. Indeed, bus drivers are known to refuse entrance to passengers who are chatting as they board, and some movie theaters will not even permit phones to be kept on in silent mode as the lights could bug other members of the audience.17.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following excerpt from Famous First Words and answer the questions that follow.“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”These were U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong’s first words as he became the first man to set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969. For a long time it was claimed that Armstrong had made a grammatical gaffe, as he had forgotten to use the word “a” before the word “man.” The omission of the all-important indefinite article would have made the sentence a tautology – a statement that repeats a word or idea –as the words “man” and “mankind” essentially mean the same thing. However, Armstrong, who passed away in 2012, always insisted that he did say the word as he stepped out of the Apollo 11 onto the surface of the Moon and, while it remains inaudible to the ear in the official recording, an audio analysis in 2006 indicates that he did indeed utter the word.17. What controversy surrounds Neil Armstrong’s famous quote?a. His words may have been too harsh.b. His words may have contained an error.c. He was too difficult to understand. d. His statement was a little sexist.18. When did Armstrong say his famous quote?a. When he got back to earth in 1969.b. Before landing on the moon in 1969.c. On the moon in 1969.d. At his home in 2012.19. According to the excerpt, what was finally decided in 2006?a. An article was added to the quote.b. The quote was completely changed.c. Several articles were added to the quote.d. Armstrong denied that he said “a.”20. The word gaffe is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. grammarb. analysisc. indefinite articled. mistake。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following excerpt from Looking for a Little Romance and answer the questions that follow.Take NoteWomen love to receive an intimate message from their lovers, and most men are no different in this respect. How often do most women write cards or notes to their boyfriends or husbands?I’m betting it’s a pretty low figure. It probably has something to do with feeling like you are back in high school, passing notes to the boy at the desk next to yours. You shouldn’t feel self-conscious about written correspondence, though, and there shouldn’t have to be a reason.Writing a card to your man is a great way to show him you’re thinking about him and how much you care. Try leaving it on his pillow before he goes to work so he’ll see it in themorning and look at it during his work day.Welcome SurprisesRather than organizing things on the weekend as is usual, try spontaneously suggesting a night out during the week or at a time when he is least likely to expect it. Taking the initiative like this is a really nice touch. To make it an even more special night, you could try setting something up in advance, like booking a table at the top spot in town or getting hold of tickets to a ball game. Although his idea of a great night out might not be exactly the same as yours, it’s all about the effort that you put into making your partner feel special.17. According to the excerpt who most likes to receive written messages?a. only menb. only womenc. both sexesd. No information is given.18. According to the writer, why do people not write notes?a. They are selfish.b. They feel ashamed.c. Notes aren’t easy to write.d. Notes are too intimate.19. According to the writer, when should couples go out?a. When the weather is good.b. When it is a special occasion.c. When you have a restaurant coupon.d. When it is not planned.20.

Since the invention of printing, stories have been part of the world’s liter ature. The fairy tales, legends and fables we know today have often come from far in the past. One of the greatest storytellers of all time was Aesop, a Greek slave who lived around 600 B.C. Although there are some stories with human interaction, Aesop mostly told stories about animals who were the main characters in his fables. In a typical Aesop fable, the story shows how a problem is solved and a moral is learned. Aesop’s stories include “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and “The Tortoise and the Hare.” They were first written down around 300 B.C. In fact, experts disagre e on the exact origins of at least some of the fables themselves since there are several stories which are similar to Hindu and Buddhist tales. We may never know the answer to this question because the stories were told roughly around the same periods in human history. Also, the writing of these famous fables, Greek or otherwise, was not actually put into writing until centuries after Aesop’s death.17. What is a synonym for the word story?a. fableb. talec. legendd. All of the above.18. Who was Aesop?a. a story writerb. a story characterc. a fable tellerd. a Hindu man19. What is a synonym for the word moral?a. lessonb. fairy talec. tortoised. origin20.

Reading ComprehensionThe term nuclear family first appeared in the early 20th century. With the rise ofindustrialization and early capitalism, the nuclear family became a financial and social unit.The term is used to define a family group consisting of two adults and their children. This is in contrast to a single-parent family, to the larger extended family, and to a family with more than two parents. However, nuclear families typically center on a married couple and may have any number of children. There are differences in definitions of the nuclear family even among experts. Some definitions allow only biological children that are full-blood siblings, while others allow for a stepparents and any mix of dependent children including stepchildren and adopted children. Other definitions have changed over the years to include familiesheaded by same-sex parents or additional adult relatives who take on parenting roles.
