What do you hope for the future?People predict that life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that there won't be TV channels(频道). At that time, people will pick up a program from a "menu" and a computer will send the program to the TV set at once. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.Water will become one of our most serious problems then. In many places, farmers are in great need of water to grow fruit and vegetables.About transportation, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast.

It's a matter of the perspective (视角). In Montana, you might drive a mile in any direction and might not see another human being. In Macao, 60,000 people live in every square mile!What is true is that the world's population doesn't stay the same. It has been increasing fast. That's in part because in each generation (代)there are more people who then have children than the last generation. Five hundred years ago, the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900, the world's population was under 2 billion (十亿). Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means, if this rate of growth continues, when you are a parent, there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Soon the world's population will probably reach 8 billion. Some people worry about that! But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth means too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are, the more resources (资源) the world needs to offer and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth's resources.1.From the first paragraph we can know that ______.A. Montana is too crowdedB. Macao is too crowdedC. the world is too crowdedD. the world is not too crowded2.The population is increasing fast partly because ______.A. people live longer than beforeB. there are fewer wars than beforeC. medicine is developing faster than beforeD. more couples now would like to have children than before3.What was the world's population in 1900?A.450 million.B. Less than 2 billion.C.40 billion.D.7 billion.4.The writer thinks that with the population increasing, we should ______.A. find more resourcesB. use more resourcesC. think about our ways of livingD. move to other places5.From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.A. thinks the world already has too many peopleB. thinks the world can feed no more than 8 billion peopleC. is not sure when the world's population will reach 8 billionD. is not sure what the world needs to feed so many people六、句型转换1.You shouldn't stay in bed all day.(改为祈使句)_____ _____ in bed all day.2.The writer wrote this story because it's true.
