Question

20．What picture do you have of the future？Will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now？What do you hope about the future？
  Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology．First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050．Instead，people will choose a program from a"menu"and a computer will send the program directly to the television．By 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer．
   In what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems．Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages．Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now．In transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast．Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents．Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination．
  In the domain（領(lǐng)域）of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories．Many factories already use robots．Big companies prefer robots-they do not ask for payrises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day．By 2050，we will see robots everywhere-in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，hops and homes．
  Last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases．Today scientists have discovered how to control genes．They have already produced clones of animals．By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have．Scientists will be able to do these things-but should they？

Answer 1

分析 這篇文章講述了未來(lái)的生活將會(huì)是什么樣子，直到2050年，我們的生活將會(huì)發(fā)生很大的變化，將會(huì)完全不同于現(xiàn)在．

解答 答案：61-65．ADDCA61題答案：A 考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)的理解．整篇文章講的是未來(lái)的生活將會(huì)是怎樣，開(kāi)篇第一段就用三個(gè)問(wèn)句將讀者的興趣引起，從而帶著這些問(wèn)題接著往下閱讀，故本題答案為A選項(xiàng)"引起讀者的興趣"．62題答案：D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理．根據(jù)文章第二段的"By 2050，music…programs …will come to us by computer"（到2050年音樂(lè)…節(jié)目…將會(huì)通過(guò)電腦來(lái)到我們身邊）可知到那時(shí)通過(guò)電腦選節(jié)目將會(huì)更加方便，故本題答案為D選項(xiàng)．63題答案：D考查作者態(tài)度．文章從電視節(jié)目、水資源、交通、科技等方面構(gòu)想了未來(lái)的生活，這些變化中既有好的（電視節(jié)目與交通）也有不好的（水資源的匱乏會(huì)帶來(lái)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，人類(lèi)克隆人類(lèi)是否可行）．因此，作者對(duì)于未來(lái)生活的總體態(tài)度是"樂(lè)觀中包含擔(dān)憂(yōu)"，故本題答案為D選項(xiàng)．64題答案：C 考查細(xì)節(jié)推理．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的robots will have replaced people in factories．（機(jī)器人將會(huì)代替工廠的勞力）可知本題只有C選項(xiàng)符合原文，故本題答案為C選項(xiàng)．65題答案：A 考查細(xì)節(jié)推理．根據(jù)文章最后一段的第一句medicine technology will have conquered many diseases．（醫(yī)療科技將會(huì)戰(zhàn)勝很多疾病）可知"并非所有的疾病都能被攻克"，故本題答案為A選項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科教類(lèi)閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語(yǔ)．認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
