When we think about 2050, it seems that it is far from now and it will be a totally different world. But in fact, it is just about 25 years from now and we can already know what will be possible to have by that time. Now, let’s have a look at some predictions about 2050 together.
First, AI (人工智能) will offer more jobs in 2050. Many people worry about AI in our lives because they think in the end robots will do all the work and we won’t have jobs. However, according to a survey, in 2025, AI will create 2.3 million jobs and make only 1.8 million jobs disappear (消失).
Second, space travel will be possible in 2050. According to Business Insider, people can travel in space in 2050. But it will only be for wealthy people because space travel will cost about 100 million dollars for just one week.
Last, self - driving cars will make driving safer. According to a report by Stanford University, in 2050, self - driving cars will make traffic - related (与交通相关的) deaths less possible and they can also bring changes in our lifestyles, too. We will have more time for ourselves.（E8201003）
17.According to the survey, AI will create ____ jobs in 2025.
A.1.8 million B.2.3 million
C.30 million D.100 million
18. What does the underlined word “wealthy” mean?

C.You will drive it faster than usual cars.
D.You will have more free time.

答案： 17.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“in 2025, AI will create 2.3 million jobs”可知，人工智能能在2025年创造230万个工作岗位。故选B。
18.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“because space travel will cost about 100 million dollars for just one week”可知，太空旅行的费用很高，只面向富有的人开放，wealthy 和 rich 意思相近。故选A。
19.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“According to a report by Stanford University, in 2050, self - driving cars...can also bring changes in our lifestyles, too. We will have more time for ourselves.”可知，在2050年，如果你拥有一辆自动驾驶汽车，你将拥有更多的空闲时间。故选D。

The U.K. education secretary has announced a new $5.5 million programme. The programme is to teach Latin at 40 schools across the country. The secretary said the Latin Excellence (卓越的) Programme aimed to improve opportunities for students in some government - run schools. Latin is a language that was spoken in the area around Rome over 2,000 years ago. It is taught in 49% of the UK’s elite(精锐的) private schools but only 2.7% of state schools. The secretary said, “Latin has a reputation (名声) as an elitist subject, which is reserved (保留) for the privileged (特许的) few, but the subject can bring so many benefits to young people, so I want to put an end to that divide.” He added,“Latin can help pupils with learning modern foreign languages.”
