VI. Read the passage and answer the following questions
I find it absolutely fascinating thinking about the future, as technology is rapidly advancing and in
40 years time, who knows what we’ll be able to do with it. Scientists have recently predicted that by
2050 the population of the world will be over ten billion and technology will have advanced so
greatly that we will have far more information about all known diseases (and possibly cures), we
will all be living in eco houses and will no longer face sky high electricity bills and we may even be
able to take a holiday to Mars.
Our daily lives will most definitely be littered with all kinds of new technologies that help us do the
things we hate the most in 2017! House Robo’s will be a likely feature in all homes and will help run
the family home, take out the rubbish, prepare food and hoover the house from top to bottom. Our
kitchen gadgets (such as your fridge, cooker, microwave and dishwasher) will also be ‘robotic’ and
will email or text us, users, when a food item has gone out of date or has been used up. Similarly, the
fridge has a built in camera so that when you are at the supermarket, you can log in to your fridge
and check what you need to stock up on.
It is predicted that by 2050, we will all have ‘weekly digital health checks’ in our homes, which run
sensors over our bodies to check for signs of ill health and any abnormalities. Conditions can
instantly be recognized by the ‘virtual doctor’ inside the health machine and treated immediately,
and if you need a prescription – it will be ordered and sent out automatically. If the digital health
check picks up on a person being overweight, they will send a signal to the domestic house
computer to modify their diet and book in for gym sessions. Because of all this immediate
treatment, people will live far longer and won’t be wiped out by disease or forms of cancer. Medical
conditions that are considered rare today, will be far more known about and will be able to be
cured quickly and efficiently.
41. What will the world’s population be by 2050?
_________________________________________________________________________
42. How will our kitchen gadgets help us?
_________________________________________________________________________
43. What can you do with the fridge with a built-in camera?
__________________________________________________________________________
44. How can our bodies be checked for signs of ill health and any abnormalities?
__________________________________________________________________________
45. What are the benefits of the immediate treatment?
_________________________________________________________________________
VII. Listen to the interview about people’s life expectancy in the future and decide whether

the statements are true (T) or false (F).


46. Nobody can predict how long we will be able to live in the 21 stcentury.
47. People’s general health will improve because they eat a lot of mushrooms.
48. Nowadays, if people look after themselves, they can live to be 90.
49. Within 30 years, 80% of cancers will be curable.
50. Eternal life isn’t impossible.

Ex 2. Read the following passage and circle A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
By the end of the third millennium, people will all have access to basic utilities like electricity
and the internet. As a type of civilization, the overall energy consumption of everyone in the 30th
century will be at a level of around 4×10²⁶ watts. In other words, the energy utilization in a world
full of working class consumers will be comparable to the luminosity of our parent star. So, the
people of the future will inevitably need to fully harness the output of the Sun through the use of a
vast array of satellite mega-structures that encircle the celestial body and capture the radiation it
emits.
In requiring everyone to work together, the inclusive attitude of the future will cause everyone
to grow much closer to one another, improving interpersonal relationships in neighborhoods the
world over. By the year 3000, the whole of humanity will become a sort of poly-amorous society of
mono-ethnic global citizens, living in a complex egalitarian intercontinental cooperative. Everyone
will be part of multicultural communities within communities. Companies and credit unions will
even be owned by their employees. People will all be very conscientious. Everyone will support
the global economy, as well as ecology, of the world.
Humans will inhabit artificial urban jungles filled with buildings and sidewalks, while the other
animals will inhabit natural rural jungles filled with wilderness and trails. Friends will walk
through the crowded streets of the mega-cities of the future holding hands with one another. Public
displays of affection will be customary among everyone. Casual bisexual encounters will be the
norm. Everyone will care about everyone else. People will all accept each other, and help each
other out, more and more as time goes on.
The point is that eventually, everyone will finally get along. Humanity will progress to a point
of collective compatibility as everyone sufficiently integrates and assimilates. From now until the
year 3000, the several thousand languages currently spoken will reduce down to only about a
hundred. More importantly, the nation-state members of the UN will all use the same form of
electronic currency. As the countries of the world unify more and more, the metric system will
become the universal standard of measurement. Things will become increasingly more common
among everyone. This will bring everyone closer and closer together, each step of the way. In the
end, cultural memes will all eventually just blend together in the great melting pot that is the
world.
People will also change physically, along with mentally, too though. For instance, there will be
an increase in both height and longevity, among people in general. In the year 3000 people will be
about six feet tall, and live to be 120 years old, on average. They will experience a slight reduction
in the size of their mouths, too. Improvements in nutritional science will revolutionize the world of
medicine and alter the course of human evolution. Everyone will be genetically screened as an
embryo to weed out defects and correct mistakes in their personal genome. 8th scale transhuman
cyborgs will even go so far as to have 7 th scale robotic integrations, with microscopic machines
making them better. This will be terribly important because there will be very little diversity in the
gene pool of the superhumans of the future, who are all bred to be what is considered ideal.
