What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average,  men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(容量). As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more,  and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’ s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however , our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. …
【小題1】The passage mainly tells us that _______.

A.man’s life will be different in the future.
B.future man will look quite different from us.
C.man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D.human’s organs’ functions will become weak “
【小題2】The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because ___________.
A.he makes use onIy20% of the brain’s capacity.
B.his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.
C.the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D.he will use his brain more and more as time goes on :
【小題3】What will be true about a human being in the future?
A.He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B.He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
C.His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.
D.He will think and feel in a different way.
【小題4】It is implied that ________.
A.human beings will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(退化,)
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable

A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when people interpret facial emotions (情感).The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,the focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.
“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.” A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符號(hào)),which are used to convey a writer’s emotions by email and text message. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ,while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons∶)and∶­) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons∶(and∶­(show a sad face. However,the Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘­‘) to indicate a happy face,and (;­;) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting his or her emotions,as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),”said Masuda. “In the United States,where an open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth,which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”
【小題1】The text mainly tells us that ________.

A.cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B.culture is a key to interpreting facial emotions
C.different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
【小題2】Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?

【小題3】If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false,he will probably________.
A.read the whole faceB.focus on the mouth
C.look into the eyesD.judge by the voice
【小題4】The computer emoticons used by Americans show that________.
A.they express their feelings openly
B.they tend to control their emotions
C.they are good at conveying their emotions
D.they use simpler emotions to show their feelings

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron(紫褐色)cap and gown(方帽長袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(對(duì)美國的效忠宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”
Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing(開始領(lǐng)悟) their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
【小題1】What’s the article mainly about?

a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.        b. Students gave farewell speeches.
c. The US national anthem was played.            d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.
e. Seniors went into the stadium.
A.b-c-a-d-eB.b-d-c-e-aC.e-d-b-a-cD.e-d-c-b-a
