These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500：
We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(疗法)for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐厅)food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine，stick out your tongue，and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾)to see what you want to eat.
—Kristen
Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my ear to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work，I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.
—Morgan
In the year 2500，I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维)so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly，for we haven't got that technology yet，but they can ho v er(盘旋)up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!
——Carly
Instead of cars，we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment，then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment，then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.
—Roberta

A．change B．treat

答案：C猜测词义题。

根据画线单词所在的句子中的“你只需要走到一台机器跟前，伸出你的舌头，然后机器就会判断出你想吃什么”可以推断出，机器通过仔细查看你的味蕾才能判断出你想吃什么。

3．Morgan thinks his work in the pet store is________.

Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages，mostly into English.Nevertheless，since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起争论的)issue in the translation circle，whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.
An American poet Robert Frost ever said，“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”In this sense，something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻译)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound，well-balanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(语调)language while
Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound；English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form；English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above，a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English，there is some untranslatability，namely，sound untranslatability，form untranslatability and sense untranslatability.
In fact，the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development，as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case，however，talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.
5．By the passage we can know that________.
A．Tang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in China
B. Tang poetry is part of precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization
C．Tang poetry can't be translated into English
D．Tang poetry can only be accepted by people from China
答案：B根据文章第一段第一句话．..it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time可知，唐诗是中国古代文明的珍贵的文化遗产，是中华文化的组成部分。

6．The features of Tang poetry different from other languages are the following EXCEPT________.
A．beautiful sound B．rich words
C．abundant form D．extensive sense
答案：B根据文章第二段内容中所提到的与英语不同的特点有sound，form和sense，文章中没有提到word。

故答案选B项。

7．Chinese is tone language while English is________.
A．intonation language B．tone language
C．alphabetic writing D．ideographic language
答案：A根据文章第二段第五句话English is intonation language while Chinese is tone language可知，汉语是语音文字而英语则是语调文字。

故答案选A项。

8．The attitude towards translating Tang poetry into other languages is________.
A．appositive B．favorable
C．ironic D．passive
答案：B根据文章最后一句话talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.
可知，作者的态度是赞成的。

This is an ancient Chinese poem written by a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty，Meng Jiao.The poem tells about mother's love，which is deep and sincere.
A son will be on a long journey.Before he leaves，his mother is making clothes for the boy by the candlelight.She sews and mends carefully，dreading that he will come back home late.Mother is the warm spring sun while we are new green grass bathing in her golden rays.How can we repay such a great love?
Reading the poem，I feel my heart deeply moved.There is no greater love in the world than maternal love.I'm determined to work hard and try my best to make sure my mother has a happy life in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua。
