But what changes might we see? Robots and AI technology will bring great changes to jobs. Also, self-driving (自动驾驶) and flying cars will come into our daily lives. Scientists have even bigger ideas in a video called To the Future. Dr. Juraz believes we may be able to control (控制) things around us simply with our ideas. “Imagine that you could use simple devices (设备) connected to your mind and control things around you simply by thinking about them.” Juraz says. According to him, scientists are working on the technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that.

Imagine that cars are safer, more energy-saving (节能的), and able to carry heavier things. Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change. She says, “I think one day we can tell a machine what to do in a few simple words.” For example, pilots have to follow many steps for a plane to take off. But in 2045, according to Panny, “Prepare for taking off” and the computer will do the rest. Or maybe we won’t even need pilots. These are just a few of the many possible changes that 2045 might bring. It makes us wonder what surprises the future has. Will there be new kinds of energy that change our lives? 50. How does Panny explain her idea according to the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By listing numbers. D. By asking questions. 51. What will the writer probably write about after the last paragraph? A. Many possible changes. B. Devices connected to minds. C. New forms of energy. D. New self-driving cars. 52.

Wild animals are lovely and smart. You may like them and want to have them as your pets. But they are not like cats or dogs. They may be unhappy to be your pets. Some of them even lose their lives after leaving the wild. Today, they have something to say. A little otter (水獭) says, “I miss my mum. About three months ago, some bad people caught me. They put me in a cage (笼子) and fed me fish and milk. And they spent lots of time playing with me. But I’m still unhappy. I miss my mum! I like to swim. I often swim in the water in the evening. Could you please send me back to my mum?” A little turtle says, “Please don’t touch me. I’m from India. I have something on my back. It looks like the star. When I meet my enemies (敌人) in the wild, the ‘star’ can help me. People like it, so they take me home as a pet. They like to touch my back. But I don’t like it. Sometimes, the touch can even kill me.

D A long time ago, there were two talented boys, John and Joey. They showed great talents at an early age, and they did better than others around. They grew up but they chose different ways. John used all of his talents to find a good job. He joined in many activities and visited the most important people and places. Everyone thought that he would be the most important person in the world. But the second young man, Joey, was different. He always took a heavy responsibility (责任). He thought he should help others. He was always busy looking for ways to help others. One day, bad things happened and they met many problems. John didn’t know what to do. But Joey always tried his best to solve all kinds of problems. He thought of some good ways and didn’t let the bad things affect (影响) the people in his town. From then on, he was more famous than John. John then knew that his best talents were not only for himself. He learned from Joey that he should always help other people. 47.

Robots and AI technology will bring great changes to jobs. Also, self-driving (自动驾驶) and flying cars will come into our daily lives. Scientists have even bigger ideas in a video called To the Future. Dr. Juraz believes we may be able to control (控制) things around us simply with our ideas. “Imagine that you could use simple devices (设备) connected to your mind and control things around you simply by thinking about them.” Juraz says. According to him, scientists are working on the technologies that can make this happen. They’ve made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Steven says that we’ll be able to create very strong but light things. New materials (材料) will change the way we build everything. Imagine that cars are safer, more energy-saving (节能的), and able to carry heavier things. Panny believes that our relationship with machines will change. She says, “I think one day we can tell a machine what to do in a few simple words.” For example, pilots have to follow many steps for a plane to take off. But in 2045, according to Panny, “Prepare for taking off” and the computer will do the rest. Or maybe we won’t even need pilots. These are just a few of the many possible changes that 2045 might bring. It makes us wonder what surprises the future has. Will there be new kinds of energy that change our lives? 50.

They put me in a cage (笼子) and fed me fish and milk. And they spent lots of time playing with me. But I’m still unhappy. I miss my mum! I like to swim. I often swim in the water in the evening. Could you please send me back to my mum?” A little turtle says, “Please don’t touch me. I’m from India. I have something on my back. It looks like the star. When I meet my enemies (敌人) in the wild, the ‘star’ can help me. People like it, so they take me home as a pet. They like to touch my back. But I don’t like it. Sometimes, the touch can even kill me.
