5.Imagine you're at a party full of strangers.You're nervous.Who are these people?How do you start a conversation?Luckily,you've got a thing that sends out energy at small chips(芯片) in everyone's name tag(標簽).The chips send back name,job,hobbies-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn't quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a new age of using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a small chip can be fixed in a product,under your pet's skin(皮膚),even under your own skin.Some RFID tags have no energy source because they do not need it.The energy comes from a scanning device(掃描裝置),which sends out energy and starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information to that object,and the information can be renewed.Already,RFID technology is used for recognizing(識別) each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors may put a small chip under the skin to get a patient's medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip might get you to pay for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back:10or 12years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surface:Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The idea was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this situation."The world is going to be a connected set of personal small devices."predicts Dr.J.Reich.But some people are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking(跟蹤)school kids through RFID tags,they say.
When Marconi invented radio,he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication,not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and other technologies will be used in the future.Here's a wild guess:Not for buying milk.
58.We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags,peopleD.
A.won't feel shy at parties any longer
B.will have more time to make friends
C.will have more energy for conversation
D.will have no trouble getting information about others
59.We can infer from the last paragraph that RFID technologyB.
A.will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B.will be widely used,including for buying milk
C.will be limited to communication uses
D.will probably be used for pop music
60.The writer writes this passage toA.
A.predict the uses of RFID technology
B.help people be certain of the uses of RFID technology
C.explain the good points brought about by RFID technology
D.warn people of the possible danger in using RFID technology.
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了 RFID 技術,并且向我們預測RFID技術的用途,作者認為RFID 技術在未來可能被廣泛應用,這樣我們可以很容易的獲取一些信息.
解答 58.D 細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第一段Luckily,you've got a thing that sends out energy at small chips(芯片) in everyone's name tag(標簽).The chips send back name,job,hobbies-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.可知在RFID 標簽的幫助下,人們可以很容易的獲取別人的信息,這樣可以使結(jié)交新朋友變得很簡單,故選D.
59.B 推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段Who knows how RFID and other technologies will be used in the future.Here's a wild guess:Not for buying milk.可知在未來 RFID 技術可能被廣泛使用,包括購買牛奶,故選B.
60.A 主旨大意題,通讀全文可知作者通過這篇文章這樣向我們介紹了 RFID 技術,并且向我們預測RFID技術的用途,故選A.
點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
