Have you ever wondered what our future is like？ Practically all people【C1】______a desire t

o predict their future【C2】______. People seem inclined to【C3】______this task using causal reasoning. First, we generally【C4】______that future circumstances are【C5】______caused or conditioned by present【C6】______We learn that getting an education will【C7】______how much money we earn later and that swimming be yond the reef may bring an unhappy【C8】______with a shark.

Second, people also learn that such【C9】______of cause and effect are probabilistic(概率)in nature. That is, the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are【C10】______, but not always.【C11】______, students learn that studying hard【C12】______good grades in most instances, but not every time. Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more explicit and【C13】______techniques for dealing【C14】______them more rigorously than does causal human inquiry. In looking at ordinary human inquiry, we need to【C15】______between prediction and understanding. Often, even if we don't understand why, we are willing to act【C16】______the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.

Whatever the primitive drives that【C17】______human beings, satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to predict future circumstances. The attempt to predict is often played in a【C18】______of knowledge and understanding. If you can understand why certain regular patterns【C19】______, you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns. Thus, human inquiry aims【C20】______answering both" what" and "why" questions, and we pursue these goals by observing and figuring out.

All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements

. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we don't know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exacdy what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard(调车场). All of the switches(转辙器) are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.

When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track" many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.

According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we______.

A．have too many conflicting theories

B．do not have enough funding to continue our research

C．are not sure how the universe is put together

D．have focused our investigations on the moon and planets

第7题

What will man be like in the future—in 5 000 or even 50 000 years from now？ We can only ma

ke a guess, 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 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 a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.

Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which 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 very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, how ever, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair？ It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful propose 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 common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

The passage tells us about ______.

A．how man's life will be in the future

B．how future man will look like

C．the fact that man's organs will function differently in the future

D．the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes
