A

36.B.全文理解題。本文主要介紹未來人類的外貌。A未來的生活，與中心思想不符。C不具備概括性。D器官功能衰退不能概括未來人類身體的變化。

37.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解。人類外貌逐漸變化的依據(jù)。見第二段第二句“Man，evenfivehundredyearsagowasshorterthanheistoday.”A,B,C均為人類未來的變化趨勢而不是人類變化的證據(jù)。

38.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段最后兩句說人類將更多地使用大腦，最終大腦變大，前額增大。

39.A.第二段指出人類的頭發(fā)可能會(huì)消失，因?yàn)椤癷tdoesnotserveausefulpurposeanylonger”，即頭發(fā)失去作用。第三段講人類將大量用手指，手指變得靈活敏感，所以C錯(cuò)誤。D與后一段不符。

40.B.推論題。從人類身體變化可以看出，經(jīng)常使用的器官部位，如大腦手指將變得發(fā)達(dá)。而不常用的器官會(huì)退化。A原文已經(jīng)直接提到，不能算作推論。B
