阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.

Digital money

    We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.

    When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that Sweden will first completely stopped using cash, and the US might be next.

Bionic(仿生的) eyes

    It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by wearing bionic eyes.

    A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to "see" the environment and send data (数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eyes only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes.

Self-driving cars

    Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won't get distracted(分神) by phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(传感器) and cameras on the car would allow it to reduce me number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.

(1)、_______ will first stopped using cash completely.

A、Sweden B、ATM C、BBC D、America
(2)、What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?

A、It's cheaper to shop online with digital money. B、Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card. C、Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash. D、ATM cards are always popular.
(3)、Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A、Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film. B、The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future. C、Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside. D、There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
(4)、From the passage, we can learn some information about _______.

A、culture and art B、industry and farming C、science and technology D、traffic and journey

    Do you know Chinese movie legend Chow Yun-fat? Chow Yun-fat is a Chinese film and television actor, and is named "The Asia's greatest actor". Also, he is a photographer. Everyone likes him very much.

    Chow Yun-fat was born in Lamma Island, Hong Kong, on May 18, 1955. After his father died, his family became very poor. In his childhood, he helped his mother farm and raise chickens on the island. He was only at school for three years, and then left school to work as a porter, messenger, and salesman. In 1973, he was chosen to study in the third artist training class of the wireless TV station. He became a basic actor one year later. He went to Hollywood, the USA in 1995 and soon became the main actor in several films. He became a film superstar later.

    On October 15th, 2018, Chow Yun-fat said he planned to give his total property $5.6 billion HKD (that's $714 million USD) to charity. "My dream is to be a happy and normal person, "Yun-fat told the reporter." The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner."

    Chow Yun-fat spends only $800 HKD ($102 USD) every month. He keeps frugal by taking a bus or train as often as possible and doing charity work instead of spending it on himself. He had a Nokia phone for 17 years. A few days ago, he had to use a smart phone, because his Nokia one stopped working. He always shops at discount clothing stores, because, he said: "I don't wear clothes for other people. As long as I think it's comfortable, then it's good enough for me."

    There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it. A Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were resting their arms on it, and talking over its head. "Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse, "thought Alice;" only, as it's asleep, I believe it doesn't mind."

    The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it. "No room! No room!" they cried out when they saw Alice coming. "There's plenty of room!" said Alice angrily, and she sat down in a large armchair at one end of the table.

    "Have some wine, "the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

    Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. "I don't see any wine, "she said.

    "There isn't any, "said the March Hare.

    "Then it was impolite of you not to offer it, "said Alice angrily.

    "It wasn't very civil of you to take your seat without invitation, "said the March Hare.

    "I didn't know it was your table, "said Alice;" it's laid for a great many more than three."

    "Your hair wants cutting, "said the Hatter. He had been watching Alice for some time.

    "You should learn not to give your personal ideas, "Alice said seriously;" it's very rude."

    The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, "Why is a raven(乌鸦) like a writing-desk?"

    "Come, we shall have some fun now!" said Alice. "I'm glad they've begun asking riddles(谜语). I believe I can guess that, "she said loudly.

    "Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?" said the March Hare.

    "Exactly so, "said Alice.

    "Then you should say what you mean, "the March Hare went on.

    "I do, "Alice quickly replied;" at least-at least I mean what I say-that's the same thing, you know. "

    …

    Finally, they all began to laugh at Alice.

——From Alice in Wonderland
