Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red. ” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change the color or pattern of your clothes.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already. ” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
24. What will happen in the future according to the article?
A. clothes will be able to change their pattern B. everyone will look the same
C. red will be the most popular color D. people will never get old
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Milk will be harmful to health. B. More drinks will be available for sale.
C. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.
D. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.
26. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A. Nothing can replace the Internet. B. Fridges will know what people need.
C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide. D. Cars will be able to drive automatically.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Food and clothing in 2035. B. Future technology in everyday life.
C. Medical treatments of the future. D. The reason for the success of new technology.

An artwork jointly created by a robot and a human artist will go on sale this week. The artwork — known as an NFT — is to be sold during an online auction (拍卖) on Tuesday. NFT stands for non-fungible token. It is a piece of art that only exists on a computer technology known as blockchain (区块链).
NFTs can exist in the form of images, video, music and text. They are usually bought with electronic money. While anyone can view NFTs, the buyer has official ownership rights over the objects. NFTs have recently been growing in popularity among investors and collectors. Earlier this month, an artwork in the form of an NFT sold for nearly $70 million.
The piece to be sold this week was a cooperative effort between a human-like robot, known as Sophia, and Italian artist Andrea Bonaceto. The company behind Sophia, Hanson Robotics, says the auction will be the first sale of a piece jointly created by a human artist, a robot and artificial intelligence (AI). The artwork, called “Sophia Instantiation”, is a 12-second video file. It combines online and physical paintings from Sophia with elements (要素) from Bonaceto’s work. The artwork also includes influences from art history.
The digital artwork will come with a physical artwork created by Sophia on a printed copy of the online piece. The online auction is to be held by a company called Nifty Gateway. After the sale, Sophia will meet with the buyer to study his or her face, before adding a final element to the artwork. Sophia’s creator, David Hanson, said this part of the project will permit the new owner to have an unusual “personal connection” to the artwork.
Bonaceto said he hopes his collaboration with Sophia will “make a statement in the art world, and even the technology world” about the way robots and humans can cooperate in the future.
Sophia’s art could be “a very, very important historical piece”, said Pablo Fraile, a Miami-based art collector and expert in NFTs. “It’s the first time these ideas have been put together,” he said.
28. The author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 2 is to ________.
A. explain the value of different forms of NFTs
B. teach readers how to buy NFTs with electronic money
C. provide readers with some information about NFTs
D. advise readers to collect or invest in NFTs
29. What can we know about “Sophia Instantiation”?
A. It is the first NFT artwork to be sold B. It is a physical artwork created by Sophia.
C. It is an artwork with elements from art history. D. It is the first artwork created by a robot and AI. 30. What is Pablo Fraile’s attitude towards “Sophia Instantiation”?
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Opposed. D. Skeptical. 31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. An NFT Will Gain High Popularity Among Investors
B. More NFTs Will Be Created by Humans and Robots
C. Sophia Will Be Necessary in Creating Online Artworks
D. Online Artwork That Robot Helps Create Will Be Sold
D
Every racehorse has different abilities．Like humans，some are short- distance runners，while others are marathoners． Figuring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in the finish and taking the award home．Jockeys （赛马骑师） and trainers have traditionally relied on centuries of experience and data from previous races to plan their races．
Amandine Aftalion，a mathematician in Paris，thought she could add to that．Since 2013，she has been analyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt．She has found that short-distance runners tend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line．But in medium-distance races，runners perform better when they start strong，settle down，and finish with a burst of speed．
Her model shows how those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on two different pathways：powerful aerobic（有氧的）ones that require oxygen，which can be in limited supply during a race，and anaerobic ones，which don't need oxygen but build up waste products that lead to tiredness．
Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses．So she and Quentin Mercier，another mathematician， took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles（马鞍）．
The two studied patterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model that accounted for winning strategies for three different races：a short one(1，300 meters)， a medium one (1,900 meters)， and a slightly longer one (2,100 meters)，all with different starting points on the same track．The model takes into account not just different race distances，but also the size or friction from the track surface．
The results might surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finish．Instead，a strong start leads to a better finish，the team found．“That doesn't mean those jockeys are wrong，though．If the start is too strong，it can be devastating as well，leaving the horse tired by the end，” Aftalion says．
32. What should a runner do to get an award according to the text?
A. Make a good start． B. Plan for the race early．
C. Run slowly on the starting line． D. Try running quickly all the time．
33. What formed the basis for Aftalion's studying horse race?
A. The experience and data from previous horse races．
B. The benefit of knowing horses' different abilities．
C. The success in studying runners' winning strategies．
D. The performance of horses on different race distances．
34. What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Damaging． B. Boring． C. Astonishing． D. Puzling．
35. What can we infer from the text?
A. Runners have the same energy output of muscles．
B. World champion runners made a contribution to the study．
C. What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses．
D. Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race．

Knowing that you are dreaming of a special weekend away from the noisy city and boring life, I am wondering if a day’s tour to the countryside will interest you. If you wish, I can take you to the New Year Picture Village for this weekend.
My plan goes like this. We can go for vegetable collection in the fields in the morning, where we can breathe fresh air. Afterwords, we will go fishing in the afternoon, which can be great fun. If we are lucky enough, we can enjoy nice fish for supper, After supper, there will be singing and dancing performed by the rural artists.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
