1、阅读下面的短文,将文中画线部分译成汉语或英语。
What will the world of tomorrow look like? 1. Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. 2.没有科技是完美的. Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.3. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
4. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. 5. 在这个世界上, 科技让人们的生活更容易和安全. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

24、 The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world. The Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Merchants( 商 人 ) travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.
Along and around these ancient paths(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.
It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.
Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir(克什米尔) were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners ( 俘 虏 ) of war almost 2,800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road. And they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even silk route museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35, 000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

26、Flat-screen (平板显示器) television sets are normal now and we cannot even remember the last time we saw the old one with a larger back. Even those of us who do not consider ourselves to be rich might have several flat screens in our homes. That just leaves us with one problem that needs to be taken care of:_____▲_____?
Luckily, we are here to provide you with the answers that you need. The old television set can actually be turned into a beautiful bed for your cat. There are a number of creative thinkers who are trying their best. The cat bed is lovely and retro (复古的)! From the look of it, this creative cat owner decided to take away all of the innards (内部结构) from the television set before adding a new background.
You’ll want to make sure that all of the glass and cords (电线) are taken out before you allow your cat to sleep inside. After all, you do not want any harm to come to your four-legged friend. Once you have placed a nice, soft bed or pillow inside, your cat will have no trouble getting comfortable.
Little Red Book accounts (账号) that have been showing their handwork make us feel jealous. These cat beds are beyond fashionable. It’s the type of idea that makes so much sense; you’ll be wondering why you did not think of it first. You can add your own decorations as needed so that your cat bed is fit for your pet’s personality.
This is your chance to make all of your retro dreams come true. Now, if you will excuse us, we need to look for an old television set.

27、We often ask for information or help, especially(尤其) when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first could sound rude(粗鲁). It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite(礼貌).
In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
“Peter, lend me your pen.” can sound rude in English. Usually in English, polite questions are longer such as “Could you please…?” or “Can I ask…?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but,” before asking them for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct(直接). However, in order not to offend(冒犯) people, learning about language etiquette(规矩) is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
【1】What is the polite way when you ask for help?
A. Pass me the watch, Li Tao.
B. Where is the supermarket?
C. Tell me where I can find a bank.
D. Excuse me, how could I get to the book shop?
【2】Why do we need to learn polite language? Because _____.
A. they can improve our grammar and vocabulary
B. they can help us become better at English
C. everyone wants to be polite
D. the teachers tell us to do so
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. When and how to use correct language is important.
B. How to start a polite talking with strange people.
C. Correct language is as important as polite one.
D. People should learn to speak politely.
