Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Task:_Write_about_what_life_will_be_in_the_year_2050. In 2050, our life will be a lot different from nowadays in many aspects.The environment, transportation, education and people's lifestyles will also change to a new level. There are some reasons to be optimistic about life then.Along with development of scientific advances, people will have more means of transport.Solar­powered, wind­powered cars which are much more environment­friendly will be produced and used.Travelling to other planets will be more available to everyone physically, mentally and financially qualified. In addition, everyone can afford to study in 2050.With the help of technologies, such as metaverse or something more advanced or revolutionary, we don't need to go to school anymore. Just stay at home and you can learn everything from online teachers, which will help us save money and commuting time.The schedule will be more optional for you to choose as long as it suits your time and your purposes. However, there are also some reasons to worry about life in the year 2050.The more modern the technologies will be, the more polluted environment we will have.As I suppose, the future environment will have much pollution.Nevertheless, future scientists will pay more attention to this aspect so I think it will be improved soon. Because of technologies, people will be much passive than at present.There will be robots helping people in many aspects of their lives.People won't need to do housework or cook for meals because robots do them all.And since we can study at home, people will use computers almost every day, which may make them become much lazier and easier to be obese. There will be a lot of changes in our life in the next decades.Whether it will be a better or worse life depends on what we will do with them and how they can influence our life... 1.This passage is probably taken from a website for ________.

As a journalist, I often encounter the date 2100.It's a milestone year frequently mentioned in climate change news reports, stories about future technologies and science fiction.But it's so far ahead that the route we will take to get there is difficult to see.I rarely consider that, like my daughter, millions of people alive today will be there as 2100 arrives, inheriting the century my generation will leave behind. For many of us, how often can we truly say we are thinking about the well­being of these future generations? How often do we think about the impact of our decisions on the decades and centuries ahead? Part of the problem is that the “‘now’ commands so much more attention，” the sociologist Elise Boulding once said.“If one is mentally out of breath all the time from dealing with the present, there is no energy left for imagining the future.” No wonder problems like climate change or inequality feel so hard to handle right now. That's why researchers are coming to the same conclusion that short­termism (短期主义) may be the greatest threat our species is facing this century.Despite our natural ability to look and plan ahead, we have a weakness in our thinking called “present bias”. For example, people are more likely to accept an offer of ￡10 today, rather than a guarantee of ￡12 in a week.They also tend to spend on pleasures, not save for rainy days. I understand the dangers of short­termism.I can both justify the argument and feel the need to care more about future generations.But I admit I still struggle with how to translate that into clear action as an individual.To realize that we are just one in a chain of generations, we owe an obligation to our future generations to leave a better world than the one we inherited ourselves. 9.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.People's expectation of the year 2100. B.The author's thoughts on the year 2100. C.The author's plan for his daughter's future. D.People's attitude to the importance of the year 2100. 10.Why do many of us rarely consider our future generations according to Elise Boulding? A.Owing to our ignorance of the future. B.Because of people's inability to plan for the future. C.Because of our difficulty in handling future problems. D.Due to the lack of our mental energy to consider the future. 11.What does the underlined word “bias” in paragraph 5 mean? A.Preference.　　　　　　　　B.Disorder. C.Balance. D.Freedom. 12.What's the author's purpose in writing this article? A.To criticize those who favor short­term rewards. B.To express his dissatisfaction with the young generations. C.To inspire people to think more about the future generations. D.To show his determination to speak for his daughter's future.
