填空题Directions: Read the following article in
which five people talk about the future. For Questions 61 to 65, match the name
of each speaker (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark
your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Paula: The future is determined by the actions
of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we
recognize that we ourselves create the future—that the future is not something
imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build
the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more
unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their
performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer
has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured
through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp
and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do
the job properly. Mary: In
the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element
in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat when it is stimulated. This
means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor
Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat
rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of
gelatin. Judy: In the future
our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play
an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses
a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his
text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive
questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect
you if you act in a certain way. Carrie: In the future, computers will change
the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change
their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart
conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are
prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on
healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to
keep fit.
