It is plain that in the year 2020 everyone will have at his elbow several times more mecha

nical energy than he has to-day.

There will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics.

We are only beginning to learn that we can control ourbiological environment as well as our physical world population: by Malthus in about 1800’by Cripples in about it was and the second time by using the new fertilizers. In the year 2020, starvation will be headed off by the control of the dis-eases and the herdity(遗传) of plants and animals –by shaping our own biological environment.

Now I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine—the operator. By the year 2020, the repedtitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were over long ago; and the mental tedium(乏味) will go the way of physi cal exhaustion. Thoday we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled; but in the year 2020 all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change; it is as inevitable as the year 2020 itself.

根据以下内容回答题：

Celebrities lead very stressful lives，for no matter how fascinating or powerful they are，they have too little privacy，too much pressure，and no safety.

For one thing，celebrities don’t have the privacy an ordinary person has．The most personal details of their lives are printed on the front pages of the National Enquirer and the Globe so that bored supermarket shoppers can read about“Leonardo DiCaprio’s Awful Secret”or“The Heartbreak behind Winona Ryder's Smile”．Even a celebrity’s family is made public．A teen-age son’s arrest for using drug or a wife’s drinking problem becomes the subject of headlines．Photographers chase celebrities at their homes，in restaurants，and on the street，hoping to get a picture of Halle Berry in curlers or Jim Carrey drinking beer．When celebrities try to do the things that normal people do，like eat out or attend a football game，they run the risk of being interrupted by thoughtless photographers．

Celebrities must also cope with the constant pressure of having to look great and act fight．Their physical appearance is always under observation．Famous women，especially，suffer from public attention，inviting remarks like“She really looks old”or“Boy，has she put on weight．”Embarrassing pictures of celebrities are sold at hi|gh prices，which increases the pres-sure on celebrities to look good at all times．Famous people are also under pressure to act“calm and collected under any circumstances．Because they are constantly observed，they have no freedom to be angry or to do something just a little crazy．

Most important，celebrities must deal with the stress of being in constant danger．The friendly behaviors such as kisses of enthusiastic fans can quickly turn into uncontrolled attacks on a celebrity’s hair，clothes，and car．Most people agree that photographers brar some respon-sibility for the death of one of the leading celebrities of the 1990s--Princess Diana．Whether or not their pursuit caused the accident that took her life．it's clear she was chased by reporters like an escaped prisoner chased by police dogs．And celebrities can even fall victim to deliber-ately deadly attacks．The attempts to kill Ronald Reagan and the murder of John Lennon came about because two unbalanced people could not get these world·famous figures off their minds．

As a result，famous people must live with the fact that they are always fair game--and never out of season．

Leonardo DiCaprio and Winona Ryder are probably names of __________．查看材料

A.shoppers

B.celebrities

C.reporters

D.photographei"s

Farmers" Markets

Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was14. __________ (46)

"You don&39;t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"

Oliver Robinson,25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. __________ .(47) "I&39;m sure Dad hoped I&39;d stay," he said. "I guess it&39;s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn&39;t appeal. For young,ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson, farming doesn&39;t offer much "in terms of money or life style". Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "Providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature."

Farming is a big political issue in the UK. __________(48) The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.

Jamie Oliver&39;s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern spells (带来) hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. __________(49)

"I started going to Farmers&39; Markets in direct defiance (蔑视) of the big supermarkets.

__________(50)It&39;s terrible," said Londoner Michael Samson.

第5题

A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.

There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and mere commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access—after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we've ever had.

Of course, the use of the Internet isn't the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.

To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn't have the capital to do so. And that is why America's Second Wave infra structure—including roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on—were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain's former colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or any where else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you're going to be. That doesn't mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

Digital divide is something ______.

A．getting worse because of the Internet

B．the rich countries are responsible for

C．the world must guard against

D．considered positive today
