　　第一節：閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。（共11小

　　題；每小題2分，滿分22分）

　　A

　　We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

　　At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.

　　Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

　　Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

　　We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.

　　Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

　　1. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

　　A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.

　　B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

　　C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

　　D. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

　　2. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

　　A. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

　　B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

　　C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.

　　D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

　　3. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

　　A. disappointed

　　B. optimistic

　　C. curious

　　D. surprised

　　4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.

　　B. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

　　C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.

　　D. What our life will be like in the year 2050.

Switzerland is also proud of Jungfraujoch — the highest train station in Europe. Switzerland has developed an amazing transport network, and each and every mountain village can be got to by some kind of public transport.

Venice is also filled with many art galleries. The Grand Canal is a long canal that runs right through the city. This is referred to as the most beautiful street in the whole of Venice.
