     Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
                                                                    Life in 2060
     Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe it is about fifty years from now. Of
course, things have changed and life is very different.
     Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as
it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is
provided for entertainment of young and old.
     What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir
(繼承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many
foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green
plants.
     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
     Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible
to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
     People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the
number of animals decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our
bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get
rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
     Such would be our life in 2060.

　　The Three Gorges (三峽) Dam, the largest dam in the world, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Changjiang River, into a tame fiver and it will be the largest power source for much of eastern and central China. It will create a huge, deep-water lake, and make it possible for 10,000 ton ocean-going ships to sail 1,5000 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing with its 30 million people, making it the world's largest river port.

　　Construction has already started. The dam will be about 6860 feet long and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang.

By building a dam instead of new coal plants to meet its growing demand for electricity, China will give off much less poisonous gases into the dir.

　　However, some scientists don't agree to the project. They say that Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will put much waste into the reservoir (水庫), which can do harm to people, fish and other living things that depend on the river. Sedimentation (沉積) and damage of abreach (決口) are problems, too.

A．when the dam is built, the balance of nature may be destroyed

[　　]

A．When finished, the dam will be one of the main bases of power source of China.

B．People have different ideas about the setting up of the dam.

C．It will take many years to build the darn because people want to see whether it will be safe and strong enough.
