Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16"century? For starters, what will the weather be like? Depending on whom you ask, the 26"h century will either be a little chilly or infernally hot Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s, Earth's climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will render much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300 Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times Either way, tool-wielding humans alter their environment - and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive instead Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale In other words, we'll become a species that can harness the entire sum of a planet's energy Wielding such power, 26th- century humans will be masters of clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power Furthermore, they will be able to manipulate planetary energy in order to control global climate Physicist Freeman Dyson, on the other hand, estimates the leap to a type civilization would occur within roughly 200 years Technology has improved exponentially since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds If Moore's Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a kind of computerized immortality Humans will farm the oceans, travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage? A How would the world change in the next 500 years? B What would we in the next five centuries? C What problems would happen in the 26th century? D How would technology improve the life in the far future? The word infernally in paragraph is closest in meaning to A differently B extremely C permanently D contemporaneously The word harness in paragraph could best be replaced by _ A renew B adjust C exploit D discover What does the word they in paragraph refer to? A fusion and solar energy B clean energy technologies C masters D 26th century humans Which of the following is TRUE about the future predictions? A Michio Kaku believes that the progress from type to type I civilization will take about two centuries B People in the 2500s are likely to control the energy of the Earth to limit the global climate C The speed of technology improvement will remain changeable in the far future D Solar energy will be the main power for the 26th century citizens According to Adrian Berry, the following are what future humans can EXCEPT _ A cultivating in the oceans B traveling between the stars C exploring the universe by robots D living as long as they want According to the passage, what experts predict about the weather in the future? A The temperature will decline as much as possible because of the excessive fossil fuel use B The Little Ice Age will return due to the influence of solar energy C The Earth will have to face with extreme weather like frost or scorching period D The climate change will happen more quickly because of deforestation It can be inferred from the passage that A no one could be sure what the life would be like in the 2500s B what we imagine about the life in the 26 century may be the same what the 16th-century people thought about the current life C the predictions of different scientists may draw the same world in the next 500 years D technology will affect most of the fields in the future life II Read the following passage and fill in each blank with ONE most suitable word NOTHING'S NEW IN MEDICINE Throughout the ages, disease has stalked (0) our species Prehistoric humans must quickly have learnt what could be eaten without danger, and how to avoid plants that could bring about illness They found leaves, berries and the bark of different trees that could actually heal wounds and cure the the sick, and (9) _ soon became a special skill to understand natural medicine Ever (10) _ dawn of history, medicine men and wise women have always been expert in treating diseases and have dispensed medicine with ritual and magic Through trial and error they discovered treatments for almost (11) affliction prevalent at the time The precious recipes for preparations which could relieve pain, stop fits, sedate or stimulate were (12) down from generation to generation, although there was (13) an exact understanding of the way in which the medicines worked Nevertheless, (14) the power of these primitive medicines, generations were still ravaged by disease During the last 150 years, scientists and doctors (15) work has focused on these early medicines, have learnt that their power derived from certain chemicals which were found in herbal remedies or could be synthesised in the laboratory In just such a way, advances in modern medicine continue, aided by the discoveries made centuries ago by our ancestors III Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks The Alexandra Palace in north London was built with private funds as a "People's Palace" Serviced by its own station, it was opened in 1818 and was extremely well (16) _ until, two weeks after its opening, it burnt down It was replaced by a slightly larger building which opened in 1875 and featured, among other things, a splendid organ and Great Hall, which was the size of a football pitch Despite the extraordinarily wide range of events (17) there - from dog shows to great concerts and banquets, com elephant displays to bicycle matches - it always operated (18) and by 1877 much of the park around it had been sold to speculative builders, leaving only about half of the original land In 1900, a committee was appointed, whose principal duty was to run the palace and park "for the free use of the people forever." There were, (19) , powers to charge for entry so that the substantial costs could be covered The Palace continued, (20) varying degrees of success, as an entertainment centre In the 1930s, it was probably most notable for being the home of the world's first high definition television broadcasts 16 A inhabited B attended C crowded D visited 17 A performed B set C staged D laid 18 A at a loss B at all costs C at its disposal D at a profit 19 A however B moreover C for example D though 20 A for B with C as D.at IV Now read the texts and for questions 21-30, choose from the people (A-D) Some of the people may be chosen more than once MEMORABLE TRAIN JOURNEY A London to Brighton (UK) I spent over ten years doing this journey every day of the week I'm very relieved I am retired now I still the same journey sometimes but now I don't have to travel in the rush hour and if there are delays it doesn't matter so much The journey when it went well wasn't bad at all It wasn't too long and I was usually able to sit down and read the newspaper It was quite pleasant as long as there were no annoying people having loud phone conversations But generally it was fine and not a bad way to begin and end a busy day in the city The problems and stress came with the all too frequent delays and cancellations It was extremely frustrating, especially as I was paying so much money for my ticket The cost was much too high in my opinion I am glad I don't have to pay that anymore B Moscow to St Petersburg (Russia) The most memorable train journey I have ever been on was between Moscow and St Petersburg in Russia We were about 17 years old and on a school trip to see the places we were studying in our Russian history lessons We spent three days in Moscow then took the overnight train to St Petersburg I remember feeling really excited about it I had never been on an overnight train journey before We went to the theatre on our last evening in Moscow and then went straight to the station to get on the train at about 11 pm There were four of us in each room and our whole group occupied about two carriages of the train Our teachers were very aware of the dangers of travelling by train at night in Russia and warned us never to walk around the train on our own They told us to go in groups of three to the toilets so that two people could wait outside together while one person went in That frightened us a little but nothing happened I don't think we slept much; we stayed up most of the night talking, but I remember waking up in the morning and realizing it was daylight outside and that we were in a completely new city It was amazing C Casablanca to Marrakech (Morocco) We decided to travel by train because it was cheap and it only took three hours Also, I thought a train journey through the desert would be interesting and different In reality it wasn't quite as much fun as I had hoped We got to the station in plenty of time and got our tickets without too much difficulty The chaos started when we went out to the platform It appeared that everyone else in the station was also planning to get on the same train as us It was really crowded When the train arrived, it was a real fight to get on and all the seats were occupied in seconds My friend and I got separated in the confusion but there was no way we could move so we just had to stand where we were and hold on My friend managed to sit down after about an hour but I had to stand for the whole three hours The scenery was quite spectacular in places but the train was hot and uncomfortable D Cairns to Katanga (Australia) I went on this train journey while I was visiting some friends who lived in Australia I went away for a few days on my own and before I left, my friends had recommended this trip: it was definitely worth it It used to be an old mining train that took miners to work every day It starts on the coast and goes right up the side of a mountain It is very steep and the views are fantastic looking back out to sea There is lots of information in the different stations about the people who built the railway originally It was a very dangerous job and many of them died while they doing it, either through accidents or disease The whole journey only takes about an hour but you see all sorts of amazing things on the way At one point it even goes through a tropical rainforest and there are some really beautiful plants It is a wonderful trip to as a tourist, but I'm sure the miners didn't enjoy it quite so much Which person or people: 21 was disappointed by the experience? 22 learnt something interesting while on the journey? 23 did this journey more than once? 24 did this journey with one friend? 25 thinks the price was too expensive? 26 chose to the journey because of the low price? 27 says this was the first time they had been on a journey like this? 28 says they felt scared at one point on the journey? 29 mentions something which irritated them while on the train? 30 took this journey because of advice from friends?
