阅读下面短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Imagine walking up to a world where China is the
world's leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on
Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well,
this could be the reality in 13 years if some of the predictions of
100,000 Britons are correct.
[2] The survey asked the people of the UK how they
pictured the world in 2025.
[3] Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned
King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six
think the monarchy ( 君主制度) will have been abolished. A
quarter of those surveyed believe a new party will form the
government in 2025, although the same number of people think
that labour will be back in power.
[4] On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to
become the world's leading superpower, while a third think
Great Britain will be made up of four self-governed countries.
[5] Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and
bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there will be a
permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a
colony of humans to be living in space. More than half
questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their
favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two-
thirds believe cosmetic surgery ( 整容手术) will have become
common and one in six think we will look after our own health
using computers rather than _ .
[6] But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily
comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more
than half think that "celebrity" ( 明星) will be a registered
profession.
