32、ho has a promising futureD. a girl who did research on cancer treatmentDWhat will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us
33、take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains
34、a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: th
35、e head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.

This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not
37、 serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in c
38、ommon with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.32. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. Mans life will be different in the future B. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. Mans organs functions
39、will change33. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.34. The change in mans size of th
40、e forehead is probably because _.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time35. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in
41、 the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D.
