　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　Something big is happening to the human race，something that could be called the Great Transformation.

　　The Transformation consists of all the changes that are occurring in human life due to advancing technology.For thousands of years such progress occurred slowly.Now everything is changing so fast that you may find yourself wondering where all this progress is really leading.

　　Nobody knows what all these changes will really mean in the long run.But this mysterious Transformation is the biggest story of all times.It is the story of the human race itself.

　　Some people worry about what will happen when the deposits (蕴藏) of petroleum are gone，but already researchers are finding all kinds of new ways to get energy.Someday，solar power collected by satellites circling the earth or fission (裂变) power produced by mankind may give us all the energy we need for an expanding civilization (文明)．Space exploration promises to open up much new land for human settlement，as well as leading to the harvest of mineral resources.

　　Like it or not，our advancing technology has made us masters of the earth.We not only control all the other animals，but also reshape the world’s plant life and even its soil and rocks，its waters and surrounding air.

　　Technology gives us the power to build a great new civilization，if we can just agree on what we want it to be，but today，there is little global agreement on goals and how we should achieve them.

　　So it remains to be seen what will happen as a result of our technology.Pessimists (悲观主义者) worry that we will use the technology eventually to blow ourselves up.But they have been saying that for decades，and so far we have escaped.Whether we will continue to do so remains unknown，but we can continue to hope.

　　语篇解读　这是一篇科普短文：大变革正在我们人类身边发生，技术的发展使我们可以改变一切，创造一切，但人类最终走向何方尚不得而知。人类仍然怀着自己的希望前进。

　　A．nobody is optimistic about the future

　　B．human beings are unable to do so

　　【解析】　细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知，如果我们能建立一种什么样的文明方面达成一致的话，技术就会使我们有能力建设一种新的文明，但现在人们并未达成一致意见，说明人们不可能建立一个新的文明。

　　【答案】　C

　　3．According to the passage，pessimists believe that ________.

　　A．the future of the world will remain unknown

　　B．technological advances will destroy the human race at last

　　【答案】　B
