The Web as a Way of Life
If you ask people today why they use mobile phones to communicate with their friends or
why they turn to TV for entertainment they will look at you as if you are crazy. These things
have become such an integral part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked
on.
In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the web. it will be just there. It
will be a way of life. People will use it for shopping, education, entertainment and
communication. They will invent new uses for it.
A change like this is generational. Old people have to learn something about new things
outside their everyday life, while kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it as

given.
In the future, everyone’s business card will have an email address. Every lawyer, every
doctor and every business-from large to small-will be connected. On the other hand, the variety
of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate. You can find all kinds of
interesting materials on the web.

the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web. Americans, particularly young Americans,

a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides
and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.
The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies,
tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in
the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body
and face，it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too.
On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals.
The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as
you move closer to them.
In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light
streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate as they
are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through the
dust kicked up by the horses,the romance of Africa comes to life.
Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking
back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you
will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

More and more people read an iPad in bed, reserved as a place for sleep, before they go
to sleep.
Charles, a professor from Harvard Medical School% and hi& colleagues got a small group
of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or
an iPad f6r four hours before sleeps Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before
and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture
of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.
When the people read on the iPad as compared to the paper books-they reported feeling less
sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep
on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed
by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude in today5s journal article that because of the rise of e-readers
and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and teenagers, more research
into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed.
Charles and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note” “Reading an iPad in bed may
increase cancer risk.”
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens
of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made
to filter (过滤)short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime
tech users, it needs more research.
32. In Charles9 experiment, the group of people were asked to ________.
A. sit in a row And receive the strict tests
B. have their sleep patterns observed all night
C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time
D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial.
33. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to ________.
A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day
reading
C. become less energetic the next morning

B. fall asleepmore easily after
D. have a lotmore melatonin secretion

A. remove the blue light from your devices completely
B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
35. Which of the following can be best served as the tide of the passage?

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What will man be like in 5,000 or even 50,000 yearfrom now on? We can only make a guess,
of course. However,we can be sure that he will greatly differ from what he is today. 36
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is
today. 37 Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we can imagine that
man will continue to grow taller. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them
so much that often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period
of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we make less use of out* arms and legs. 38 We can’t walk farther.
At the same time, however,our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great
deal in modem life. What about our brain? As time goes on, we shall have to use our brains
more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones! 39 Our head, in particular the
forehead, will larger.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature
to look at! This may be true. 40 He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions
similar to our own.
A. For man is slowly changing all the time.
B. As a result, these are likely to grow weaker.
C. Man will live in the earth for a long time.
D. Now on average, man is about three inches taller.
E. This is likely to bring about a physical change, too.
