What might the future be like? Here are some predictions(預(yù)言).
Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult. But 28 years later, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.
Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students’ library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students’ parents through e-mail. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.

試題分析：這篇短文是關(guān)于未來(lái)的幾個(gè)預(yù)言，這其中提到了到大約2020年的時(shí)候，春運(yùn)將不再像現(xiàn)在這樣緊張，國(guó)家會(huì)修建更多的鐵路滿足人們回家的需求；會(huì)有其他的能源，如煤、天然氣、太陽(yáng)能等來(lái)代替石油，未來(lái)在學(xué)校里電腦會(huì)有更大的用處，甚至?xí)袡C(jī)器人老師來(lái)上課。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的第一句話Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult.可知，春節(jié)期間，有20億多人需要同時(shí)回家，這就使得買票變得十分困難。故選C。A是圣誕節(jié)；B是國(guó)慶；D是中秋節(jié)。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020可知，到2020年中國(guó)計(jì)劃修建更多的鐵路以及一條快捷交通網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)，這可以為90%的人服務(wù)。故選D。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.可知，煤、天然氣、太陽(yáng)能、核能甚至水有一天可以代替石油來(lái)作為能源。故我們可以看到?jīng)]有提到是B wind，風(fēng)，故選B。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段There will be robot teachers, they will check homework on computers可知，將來(lái)將會(huì)有機(jī)器人老師在電腦上給學(xué)生改作業(yè)，故選C。A選項(xiàng)說(shuō)春運(yùn)以后仍然是個(gè)問(wèn)題，這與文章的敘述是不符的，這一問(wèn)題將會(huì)得到很大的改善；B選項(xiàng)說(shuō)90%的人口將會(huì)住在城市，這與文章的敘述不符；D選項(xiàng)說(shuō)讀者們可以面對(duì)面的討論話題，這也雨文章的表述不符，將來(lái)人們可以通過(guò)電腦來(lái)交流。
小題5:段落大意題。瀏覽文章的最后一段我們可以看出，本段的中心句就是該段的第一句話，即Schools will go electronic.，學(xué)校將會(huì)電子化。這一段主要告訴我們?cè)谖磥?lái)的學(xué)校中，電腦將會(huì)更廣泛的使用，學(xué)生們將會(huì)利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)，而且還會(huì)有機(jī)器人老師。故選A。

Different types of maps have different uses.
Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places. 

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution maps (分布圖) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straightlines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(專家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.
小題1:Bob Doughty seems to be ________.
A．a(chǎn)n exchange student from the USA

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap.
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. (A) They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special liquid （液體）. Slowly, the plant eats the insect.
(B) Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things that plants need, especially nitrogen （氮）. Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!
小題1:__ Can plants get energy from the air?
小題2:__Why is Venus flytrap a famous plant?
小題3:__In some places, why do some plants get energy from animal meat?
小題4:__寫出（A）處劃線單詞they所指代的名詞。
