table, currently increasing, andthere are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline."
So what does our deep future hold? A growingnumber of researchers and organisations are now thinking seriously about thatquestion. For example, the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project amedical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of yearshence.
Perhaps willfully , it may be easier to thinkabout such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. Thepotential evolution of today's technology, and its social consequences, isdazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writersand futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That's onereason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated tothe near future.
But take a longer view and there is a surprisingamount that we can say with considerable assurance. As so often, the past holdsthe key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patternsshaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-basedforecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.
This long perspective makes the pessimistic viewof our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad. To be sure, the futureis not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce many of therisks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lotof those to come.

Text 4
On a five to three vote, theSupreme Court knocked out much of Arizona’s immigration law Monday-a modestpolicy victory for the Obama Administration. But on the more important matterof the Constitution,the decision was an 8-0 defeat for the Administration’s effort to upset the balance of power between the federal governmentand the states.
In Arizona v. United States, the majority overturned three ofthe four contested provisions of Arizona’s controversial plan to have state andlocal police enforce federal immigration law. The Constitutional principlesthat Washington alone has the power to “establish auniform Rule of Naturalization ”and that federal lawsprecede state laws are noncontroversial . Arizona had attempted to fashionstate policies that ran parallel to the existing federal ones.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts andthe Court’s liberals, ruled that the state flew too close to thefederal sun. On the overturned provisions the majority held the congress haddeliberately “occupied the field” and Arizona had thus intruded on the federal’s privileged powers。
However,the Justices said that Arizona police would be allowed to verifythe legal status of people who come in contact with law enforcement.That’s becauseCongress has always envisioned joint federal-state immigration enforcement andexplicitly encourages state officers to share information and cooperate withfederal colleagues。
Two of the three objectingJustice-Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas-agreed with this Constitutional logicbut disagreed about which Arizona rules conflicted with the federal statute.Theonly major objection came from Justice Antonin Scalia,who offered an even morerobust defense of state privileges going back to the alien and Sedition Acts。
The 8-0 objection to PresidentObama turns on what Justice Samuel Alito describes in his objection as “a shockingassertion assertion of federal executive power”。TheWhite House argued that Arizona’s laws conflicted withits enforcement priorities,even if state laws complied with federal statutes tothe letter.In effect, the White House claimed that it could invalidate anyotherwise legitimate state law that it disagrees with 。
Some powers do belong exclusivelyto the federal government, and control of citizenship and the borders is amongthem. But if Congress wanted to prevent states from using their own resourcesto check immigration status, it could. It never did so. The administration wasin essence asserting that because it didn’t want to carry out Congress’s immigration wishes, no state should be allowed to do so either.Every Justice rightly rejected this remarkable claim。
36. Three provisions of Arizona’s plan were overturned because they
[A] deprived the federal police of Constitutional powers。
[B] disturbed the power balance between different states。
[C] overstepped the authority of federal immigration law。
[D] contradicted both the federal and state policies。
37. On which of the following did the Justices agree,according toParagraph4?
[A] Federal officers’ duty to withhold immigrants’information。
[B] States’ independence from federal immigration law。
[C] States’ legitimate role in immigration enforcement。
[D] Congress’s intervention in immigration enforcement。
38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that the Alien andSedition Acts
[A] violated the Constitution。
[B] undermined the states’ interests。
[C] supported the federal statute。
[D] stood in favor of the states。
39. The White House claims that its power of enforcement
[A] outweighs that held by the states。
[B] is dependent on the states’ support。
[C] is established by federal statutes。
[D] rarely goes against state laws。
40. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
[A] Immigration issues are usually decided by Congress。
[B] Justices intended to check the power of the Administrstion。
[C] Justices wanted to strengthen its coordination with Congress。
[D] The Administration is dominant over immigration issues.
SectionIII Translation

It isspeculated that gardens arise from a basic need in the individuals who madethem: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidencean impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and thatself-expression is a basic human urge; （46） Yet when one looks at thephotographs of the garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that , forall their diversity of styles, these gardens speak os various other fundamentalurges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression。
One of theseurges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrowa phrase from T. S. Eliot. （47）A sacred place of peace, however crude it maybe, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctlyanimal need. This distinction is so much so that where the latter islacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the foemer becomes all the moreurgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by the structuring of one’s relation to one’s environment. （48） Thegardens of the homeless which are in effect homeless gardens introduce frominto an urban environment where it either didn’texist or was not discernible as such. In so doingthey give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in which theytake their stand。
Another urgeor need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is sointrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. Whenwe are deprived of green, of plants, of trees, （49）most of us give into ademoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychologicalconditions, until one day we find ourselves in garden and feel the expressionvanish as if by magic. In most of the homeless gardens of New York City theactual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions oftenseem to represent attempts to call arrangement of materials, an institution ofcolors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves aswell as of stuffed animals. On display here are various fantasy elements whosereference, at some basic level, seems to be the natural world. （50）It isthis implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use ofword garden though in a “liberated”
sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. Inthem we can see biophilia- a yearning for contact with nonhuman life－assuming uncanny representational forms.
