Life in the future will be different from the life today.Between then and now many changes will happen.But what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast.And most of them will live longer than people now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful,and there will be at least one in every room.And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then.People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports,watching TV and travel.Travelling will be much cheaper and easier.And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food,too.More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people.Then there will be less room for cows and sheep,so meat will be more expensive.Maybe no one will eat it every day.Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables.Maybe people will be healthier.Work in the future will be different,too.Robots will do dangerous and hard work.Because of this,many people will not have enough work to do.This will be a big problem.

B

3-D cinema has been around since the early 20th century,but Hollywood brought the technology back in 2007.Many thought it was just a trick to make more money.But then came Avatar,the first must-see movie in 3-D.

But since Avatar,3-D cinema has struggled.In 2010,several 3-D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010,some people said the technology was dead.Of course,that wasn’t the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology.Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s,it took audiences some time to get used to the new technology.But in the end,sound and colour became the standard.James Cameron,director of Avatar,thinks we’re going through the same process with 3-D. 

Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3-D movies.In the US,seeing a 3-D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2-D.Also,a recent study at California State University finds audiences don’t actually enjoy movies in 3-D any more than in 2-D.Walter Murch,a famous movie editor,wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process(处理) 3-D images.Watching a 3-D movie confuses our brains and this is why some people get headaches.

But James Cameron disagrees.In fact,he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3-D.And there are signs that 3-D is fighting back.More 3-D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before.The Lion King 3-D recently made over US $150 million at the box office,and Cameron’s Titanic 3-D made even more.

Who knows what the future holds for 3-D? Steven Spielberg recently said,“I’m hoping 3-D gets to a point where people notice it.Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”

5.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010,3-D movies 　　　. 

A.were not successful　　　B.became popular　

C.developed quickly  D.were of poor quality

答案:A

解析:推理判断题。由画线句前面一句“But since Avatar,3-D cinema has struggled.”(但是自从《阿凡达》以来,3-D电影就变得艰难起来。)可知,再加上本句中的bombed,以及下一句中的dead可判断该句表达的意思是“票房失利”。故选A项。

6.The example of sound and colour is used mainly to show that 　　　. 

A.Hollywood tends to absorb what is new

B.3-D technology takes time to be accepted

C.Hollywood struggles with new technology　

D.high technology helps to make better movies

答案:B

解析:推理判断题。根据第二段可推知,作者用有声电影和彩色电影的例子来说明3-D电影技术目前遭遇了同样尴尬的境遇,从而推知3-D电影要想被人们接受,还需要时间。故选B项。

7.In Walter Murch’s opinion,3-D movies 　　　. 

A.bring moviemakers great profits

B.are more expensive than 2-D movies

C.do great harm to people’s health

D.are unsuitable for people to watch

答案:D

解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第四句中的“...human beings have no ability to process 3-D images.”和第五句“Watching a 3-D movie confuses our brains and this is why some people get headaches.”可以推出,在Walter Murch看来,3-D影像画面不适合人们观看。故选D项。

8.What can we learn from the text?

A.Avatar was the first 3-D movie.

B.3-D cinema has existed for years.

C.Titanic 3-D has made the most money.

D.2012 witnessed the coming of 3-D’s time.

答案:B

解析:细节理解题。根据文章的首句“3-D cinema has been around since the early 20th century...”可知,3-D电影已经存在了多年。
