Future Inventions

Everyone has their favourite invention. Some of us even make lists of them. One survey, which asked for

Britain’s greatest invention, named the bicycle, which received twice as many votes as the World Wide Web. That’s

the past, but what about the future? What inventions ____1____ (shape) our lives? J.B.S. Haldane, a British

scientist and not one of life’s optimists, once made his prediction for the future. He said that ____2____ hadn’t

happened would happen and no one would be safe from it. Whether you agree or not, one thing is ____3____

doubt: human beings need to invent a few things pretty quickly. Here is our own list:

Number one is a new source of power. Oil is running out. A teenager, in a recent letter to a newspaper, wrote

that it would take over a hundred years ____4____ (produce) fresh oil. He was wrong by a few million years. Once

our oil is gone, it’s gone forever. We have about fifty years’ worth left, and even less ____5____ rates of

industrialisation speed up. At a recent conference about the world’s future, scientist Hilary Craft said we had

already found the answer: solar power. She said we could expect enormous mirrors in the sky ____6____ would

reflect sunlight and provide the world’s electricity.

Number two on our list is a waste processor. Throughout most of history, the rubbish ____7____ (throw) out

the back door. If the jungle didn’t swallow it, wild animals would get it. Once the jungles disappeared, we started

burying our waste underground or dumping it into the sea. Now we’re running out of space. If we want to avoid

____8____ (destroy) the Earth, we’d better find a way to recycle more effectively. An inventor, Clara Petrovic, said

she was working on equipment that would have waste ____9____ (turn) into bricks and other building material.

Finally, medicine. In the past, a cold killed you. Now we are examining people’s genes for signs of future

illness. ____10____ (find) the disease early enough and you can prevent it. Glen Hiemstra of Futurist.com recently

claimed that somewhere on Planet Earth there is a young child who will be the first person to live forever.

Section B

选词填空

A. convincing B. correct C. discouraging D. encouraging E. festive F. increase

G. instead H. knowledge I. misperceptions J. otherwise K. untrue

Changing Someone’s Mind at the Dinner Table

Family gatherings can bring up topics we prefer to avoid. With the ___11___ season in full swing, it might be

hard to stay away from some annoying relatives. At some point, you know they will say something like:

“Genetically modified foods are not safe to eat” or “Climate change is a conspiracy (阴谋)”. (Again, all these

statements are___12___.)

If this happens, you don’t have to just sit there quiet. “Is it worth making an effort to ___13___ people?” says
