根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。

A

    What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.

    First of all, it seems that people won't use TV channels by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a "menu" and a computer will send the program directly to the television.

    Water will become a very serious problem. We'll need much more water, but there won't be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war.

    Cars will run on new clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won't be any accidents with the help of computers. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.

   Robots will work in factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day.

    In a word, by 2050, our life will change a lot and our future will be quite different from now.

(1)、Maybe people won't use TV channels any more by 2050.
(2)、There will be a lot of car accidents by 2050.
(3)、Water could be the cause of war.
(4)、Robots will work in big companies and ask for money.
(5)、According to the passage, our life in the future will be better.

    Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year.Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered of coal﹣powered stoves.

    One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun.Crosby Menzies,a solar power expert in a South African company,described his latest solar cooker called the“Sol.4”,”It is four square meters of mirrors,six to eight meters in length.It is quite a large cooler.”

    The“Sol.4”works by reflecting (反射)light from the sun off large mirrors.The mirrors direct (把…对准)the light at a cooking pan.Then the light heats the pan with solar energy.Within two minutes,the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions.In just four minutes,water can be boiled.That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

    The cooker is also much“friendlier”than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it.And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal.Suchindividualswould be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.

    At present,the cooker only works when the sun is shining.But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.

    Each cooker costs about $2000,which is a large amount of money for most Africans.To solve that problem,Crosby Menzies has crated a non﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa.It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

    The name of our galaxy(星系), the Milky Way, comes from its appearance. It's a milky white band of glowing light that spreads across the night sky. If you look up at the evening sky, there's a good chance you will not be able to see what your grandmother saw when she was a little girl. A new study says that nearly 80 percent of people in North America can't see the Milky Way because of light pollution.

    The most light-polluted country in the world is Singapore where researchers found that people living in the country never have the chance to experience true darkness. Other countries with large percentages of people living under such skies include Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

    Too much light has a direct influence on human physiology and behavior. It can also destroy our sleep cycle. What's more, it also influences wildlife. For example, baby turtles may not swim into the ocean because of street lights near shorelines.

    In the U.S., some communities have been taking action on light pollution but in developing countries, people still want to make bigger, brighter light, like LED lights. They can save energy, but on the other hand, they will increase light pollution rapidly in fact.

    There are still people that can remember when they used to be able to see the Milky Way, when they would walk outside at night, but those are becoming fewer and fewer.

    Nighttime natural scenery needs protection just like daytime scenery. Don't let the light pollution steal the chance to experience the wonder of a natural night sky from us.

Dawnn Karen, the person who first mentioned the idea of Dopamine(多巴胺) dressing, wrote about looking for joy through dress in her book Dress Your Best Life. Dopamine dressing is so popular in 2023 on the short video platform TikTok(抖音). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It can influence how we feel. Dawnn Karen started looking for ways to improve dopamine level just during the COVID-19 pandemic.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} They found that in soccer games, teams with red uniforms always played better than in any other color. Another study showed that wearing green can make people become more creative. Green has also been found to help people relax, because it can remind them of nature. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

But there are some problems with these scientific studies, as people around the world have different ideas about colors. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

 阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 You must have heard of"city bu city"(meaning city or not city), an internet buzzword(流行语) created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. It's used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city. 

 Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this trend(潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document(文件) and a connecting ticket(联运机票) to leave. 

 The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72 hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places 19 across 19 provincial areas . It has attracted more travelers to China . In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民)管理局). 

. Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China

"This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China. We want to see exactly what it's like by ourselves, " said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was unbelievably good, beautiful and modern totally different from what ho had heard about China from Western media.

 Yuyuantantian, a new media account(账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian.
