1．Technologically，the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge.Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the Internet，we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered by Windows 95.There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs；people laughed at the idea of reading electronic books.
So，what will our world really be like in 2035？What will the future jobs and technology be like？The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today，but smarter and more automatic.We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by robots.Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-planning，flight-booking web services.Even writers are threatened by companies such as Narrative Science，which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously，there will also be new jobs created：the computer engineer who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis，programmers，space tour guides and vertical（垂直的）farmers.Technology will continue to disrupt（擾亂） businesses and get rid of jobs，creating new professions we can't yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won't do so in a traditional office either.We're already seeing a shift in the definition of work.It's now a task you perform，not a place you go to.Productivity is no longer measured by sitting at a desk.There's no nine to five.No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back and forth to work.You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper instead of sitting in traffic.Of course，advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.

2．It has become acceptable for people to say that women work less than men and therefore deserve less!It may have been true in the past when women were expected to stay at home and look after children，but women have changed over the years．They have "come out"!Gone are the days when they toiled （辛苦） the kitchen stove all day long；they are now aware of their needs and are willing to fight for them．They expect to be given the respect they deserve，both at home and at work．They have realized their intellectual potential and have determined to do something about it!
Women on two wheels have become a familiar sight on the roads of most Asian countries during the past few years．It is common to find a woman taking her children on her bicycle to school and then reach her office in time．She has become a major part in family decisions in every aspect and how those decisions are carried out．It would have been unimaginable a few years ago!
It is rather difficult to combine a career and a decent home life， "super woman" though she is．She needs to feel supported and fulfilled．She may arrive at work feeling as if she has already done a full day's work．If colleagues doubt her commitment to her job，she will feel sad．At the same time，women of today expect their partners to contribute towards childcare and household chores．
Today's women are learning to avoid situations that make them feel more stressed and it is a hard struggle．Despite all this，the new woman， "the superpower" has arrived．She still believes in the power and value of a family unit and she holds it in high esteem （尊重）．

3．The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned about the potential negative effects of social media on young kids and teens.But the same risks may be true for adults.A review study suggests addiction symptoms （癥狀），such as failure to pay attention to personal life and escapism，appear to be present in some people who use Facebook excessively （過度）.
A study also shows when people stop using the Internet，they also go through small but measurable physical effects.Rather than improving health，as frequent interactions（互動） with offline social networks do，the findings show that interacting with Facebook may predict the opposite result for young adults—it may undermine it.
In fact，another study found that social media use is linked to greater feelings of social isolation （隔離），mentally and physically.We fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others as we check our Facebook pages.The study looked at how we make comparisons with others' posts，in "upward" or "downward" directions—that is，feeling that we are either worse or better off than our friends.It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse，which is surprising，since in real life，only upward comparisons make people feel bad.But in the social network world，it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms.
All of this is not to say that there is no benefit of social media—obviously it keeps us connected across great distances，and helps us find people we had lost touch with years ago.But visiting social networks when you have some time to kill is very likely a bad idea.If you are feeling brave，try taking a little break，and see how it goes.And if you are going to keep "using" it，then at least try to use it reasonably.
（1）What might researchers think about "using Facebook excessively"？
A．It's problem behavior.
B．It's costly and time-consuming.
C．It's sometimes a solution to social isolation.
D．It's leading people to become imaginative.
（2）What does the underlined word "undermine" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Present.
B．Destroy.
C．Check.
D．Ensure.
（3）What's the finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 3？
A．Social media are being given too much importance.
B．Young Facebook users feel more isolated than their elders.
C．All kinds of comparisons on social media upset people.
D．Downward comparisons link closer to depression than upward ones.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．Social media affect people's mental health.
B．Comparing ourselves with others may lead to depression.
C．Social networks have more advantages than disadvantages.
D．Nowadays people tend to turn to the Internet for satisfaction.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5
