They say that, a hundred years from now,we will have used up most of the earth􀆳s resources. We will have pol- luted our sea badly,and be unable to eat fish from it. We will have made air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world􀆳s pollution will have doubled,and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farm- land left. Other people believe that man adapts very 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 21 easily. They have a different idea of the future. However,in their views,will people be living in a hundred years􀆳 time? One architect believes that man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the fu- ture will be a huge, pyramid-shaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there,and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea,we will give the farmers more land to grow crops. As for oil,people will no longer need it:we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals,be- cause there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. But,in a hundred years􀆳 time,the op- timists say, the new sea cities will be using these resources. What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be travelling? Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that,by the year 3000,shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them;and people will order goods from home. People will be wearing very light,thin clothes. By this time,scientists will have invented a fab- ric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. As for travel,most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be travelling through the streets day and night. An- ybody will be able to stop one and use it. An interesting picture! Unfortunately, we will not be there to see if these predictions come true. (　 　 )1. Pessimists believe that in the future 　 　 　 　 　 　 .

Language is our greatest treasure as a spe- cies,and what do we 　 2　 do with it? We gos- sip. About others􀆳 behaviour and private lives, such as who􀆳s doing what with whom,who􀆳s in and who􀆳s out—and why;how to deal with diffi- cult 　 3 　 situations involving children,lovers and colleagues. So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural 　 4　 ,of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular sim- ply to avoid facing up to the really important is- sues of life? It􀆳s not the case according to Pro- fessor Robin Dunbar. In fact,in his book,Groo- ming,Gossip and the Evolution of Language,the psychologist says gossip is one of these really 　 5　 issues. Dunbar 　 6　 the traditional view that lan- guage was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don􀆳t spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk,argues Dun- bar—　 7　 ,he goes on to say,language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip. Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the 　 8　 of the higher primates(灵长 类动物)like monkeys. By means of grooming— cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or 　 9　 from outside it. As we human beings evolve from a particu- lar branch of the primate family,Dunbar 　 10　 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 23 that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group,the greater the 　 11　 it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group,the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to 　 12　 the pressure and calm everybody down. But as the groups got bigger and bigger,the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be 　 13　 to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly,a more 　 14 　 kind of grooming was needed,and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal(有声的) grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to- one 　 15　 contact.

D　 细节理解题。 根据第一段中,悲观的人认为一 百年之后,人类用光了大部分资源;海洋受到了严重的污 染,鱼不能食用;因为空气受到严重污染,人们必须要戴着 口罩。 由此可知 D 项正确。 2. B　 细节理解题。 由倒数第二段可知,A、C、D 三项均 被提及,而 B 项不是科学家的预测而是一些乐观者的看法。 3.
