Every summer the heat was miserable. This summer was no exception.
Jamal lay on the porch (门廊), holding a glass of sweet tea to his forehead, trying to absorb some of the cool. It was early afternoon, and his grandmother had lain down for her daily nap.
“Jamal! Jamal！” said Lisa, trying to get his attention. “What？” he asked.
“I'm going to sort out the attic (阁楼). Want to come？” she asked calmly. Lisa was two years younger than Jamal and was used to being blown off.
“Grandma said that if we see anything we want up there, we can keep it，” said Lisa.
“What makes you think I want any of that old junk？” asked Jamal.
“Suit yourself，” said Lisa. She went to the bedroom to change into old clothes that could get covered in sweat, dust, and possible dead spiders.
Up in the attic, Lisa began to see Jamal's point. The heat in the

Her grandmother laughed.“What, you can't believe it? Yes, that's me; that was taken at my home coming almost sixty years ago.”
“You were beautiful, Grandma，” said Lisa admiringly.
“You'd be surprised, Lisa，” her grandmother responded.“Adults, all of us, were once young and irresponsible like you.”
“I don't think Mum was ever like that ...” said Lisa.

What will man be like in 5，000 or even 50，000 years from now on? We can only make a guess, of course. However, we can be sure that he will greatly differ from what he is today. 1 (承上启下，说明人类一直在变化)
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. 2 Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we can imagine that man will continue to grow taller. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.(说明身高和眼睛的变化)
On the other hand, we make less use of our arms and legs. 3 We can't walk farther. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. What about our brain? As time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones! 4 Our head, in particular, the forehead, will be larger.(说明四肢和大脑的变化) Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may be true. 5 He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
A. For man is slowly changing all the time. B. As a result, these are likely to grow weaker. C. Man will live in the earth for a long time.
D. Now on average, man is about three inches taller. E. This is likely to bring about a physical change, too.

词汇微存 ①bring about 导致；引起； ②all in all 总之； ③in spite of 尽管
1.A 空前一句话中的关键信息“greatly differ from what he is today”和文章后面几段中提到的人类过去、现在和将来的变化可知，A项“人类一直在变化”符合语境。
2.D 该段说明人类的身高的变化，空前一句说明500年前人类比现在矮，故D项“现在人类平均高了三英寸”符合语境。
3.B 根据前一句“我们胳膊和腿利用得比以前少”和空后一句“我们不能走远路”可知，腿和胳膊不如以前强壮了，故B项正确。
4.E 设空前一句说明人类需要更大的大脑，空后一句说明人类的前额变得更大，故E项“这有可能导致身体的变化”符合语境。
5.G 空前一句说明将来的人类不如现在的人类好看，空后一句说明将来的人类仍然和我们一样有相似的思维和情感，故G项“总之，尽管将来的人类和我们有许多不同之处，但是我们仍然有很多共同点”符合语境。
