22、We don’t know how different our life will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.

At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.

Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.

Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. we will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.

We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition.

Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

【1】Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?

A．Because the number of people will become much smaller.

B．Because there will be less face-to-face communication.

C．Because people won’t like making friends with each other.

D．Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.

【2】The third paragraph mainly tells us_________.

A．that computers will do all the things for human beings.

B．how people will use computers to communicate with each other.

C．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot.

D．how people will use robot to do the housework.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?

A．The relationship between people will be more important than that of today.

B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.

C．It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.

D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．How peoplewill communicate in the year 2050.

B．What our life will be like in the year 2050.

C．How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.

D．What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

24、   After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.

The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard (漠视，不尊重) of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.

Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.

Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.

【1】What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?

A．They were hopeless.

B．They were intelligent.

C．They were unfriendly.

D．They were independent.

【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The change of native students.

B．The importance of learning English.

C．The improvement of native education.

D．Samuel's work for the native kids.

【3】What major problem did Samuel need to solve?

A．The poverty of local people.

B．The lack of facilities in his school.

C．The prejudice against the native kids.

D．The unsuitable teaching methods.

【4】What can we learn from Samuel's story?

A．The academic performance comes first.

B．Respect makes a big difference.

C．Everyone deserves access to education.

D．One method can't apply to each situation.
