61、allows him to express himself more clearly解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“it could be very useful in different job situations”可知，在不同的工作场景中法语都非常有用。由此可推测，正是因为法语的使用频率很高，所以Bryan想学法语。2We can infer that Georgina _.Awill live in MilanBcan speak SpanishCfeels puzzled about her careerDwants to make some Italian friends解析

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
64、slowly changing all the time. Let us 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 assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in
65、 the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity.

66、rticular, 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. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use
67、of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serv
68、e a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald (光秃的)Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true.

71、in due timeDhe/she will use his brain more and more as time goes on解析：选D细节理解题。由第二段最后两句说人类将更多地使用大脑，最终大脑变大，前额变大可知答案。6Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?AHe is hairless because hair is no longer useful.BHe has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.CHis fingers grow weaker
72、because he doesnt have to make use of them.DHe thinks and feels in different ways.解析：选A正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失，因为“. it does not serve a useful purpose any longer”，即头发失去作用。7It is implied that _.Ahuman beings will become less attractive in the futureBless use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerati

Networking company Cisco says that 50 billion Internetconnected devices and objects will be sending data by 2020.But getting back to those cows, cars and refrigerators, what types of data might they actually send? Cows might send
