It is clear that the wrld will be a very different place in 2045. S what’s ging t happen then? It’s pretty likely that rbts and AI technlgy will change a lt f industries. Als, self-driving and flying cars will cme int ur daily life, bringing us much cnvenience (便利).
Hwever, scientists have even bigger ideas. In Frward t the Future, a vide series, three researchers predicted what they imagined wuld becme real in 2045.
Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a pint where we can cntrl things simply by using ur mind. “Imagine a wrld where yu culd just use yur thughts t cntrl yur envirnment,” Justin said. Accrding t him, experts are wrking n certain technlgies that can make this happen. They’ve made sme prgress already.
The future has mre than just that. Many ther exciting things culd change the buildings and ther bjects arund us, says Stefanie Tmpkins. “We’ll be able t build things that are very strng but als lightweight. We dn’t even knw the materials arund us,” she predicted.
Pam Melry believes we’re ging t find that we have a very different relatinship with the machines arund us. “I think we’ll begin t see a time when we’re able t cntrl a machine just by pressing a buttn r nly saying sme simple wrds,” she said. Fr example, right nw t land a plane safely, a pilt has t g thrugh many steps in the right rder. But in 2045, in Pam’s wrds, a pilt may just need t say the wrds “prepare fr landing”. Then the cmputer knws the steps it needs t take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilt wn’t even be necessary.
These ideas might sund like science fictin nw, but they shw the directin technlgy is heading. The future is being built by tday’s scientists and dreamers.
31．What is the main purpse f the first paragraph?
A．T list all future technlgies.B．T intrduce the tpic f future life.
C．T cmpare different scientists’ ideas.D．T explain hw rbts change jbs.
32．What des the underlined wrd “this” refer t in Paragraph 3?
A．Making prgress in AI technlgy.B．Driving flying cars in ur daily life.
C．Cntrlling things by using ur mind.D．Using rbts in different industries.
33．Accrding t Stefanie Tmpkins, what will future materials be like?
A．Cmmn and cheap.B．Strng and heavy.
C．Beautiful and expensive.D．Unknwn and light.
34．Which picture shws hw a pilt might land a plane in 2045?
A．B．
C．D．
35．What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．Famus Scientists in TechnlgiesB．Lk Int the Life in 2045
C．New Kinds f Building MaterialsD．Challenges fr AI in the future
