Question

【題目】The life in 50 years

What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas.

First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling. So people will become stronger and healthier，and they will live to be about 200 years old.

Second, cars will become very small and computers will control their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular，and most people would like to take them to travel.

Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won't be crowded or noisy. So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.

Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don't save water now, there will be water wars(戰(zhàn)爭)in 50 years.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

本文介紹了50年后人們的生活情況，機(jī)器人會(huì)代替人們做許多工作，人們會(huì)更加長壽，乘飛行旅行很普遍，地球會(huì)變得更擁擠，水也會(huì)短缺等。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中People will use robots to make cars，do the housework，look after sick people and teach students“人們將會(huì)使用機(jī)器人來制造車、做家務(wù)、照看生病的人以及教學(xué)生”可知，機(jī)器人可知照顧生病的人、教學(xué)生以及做家務(wù)，并未提到會(huì)開車，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中Planes will be very popular，and most people would like to take them to travel“飛機(jī)將會(huì)非常受歡迎，大多數(shù)人想要乘他們?nèi)ヂ眯小笨芍��?/span>50年后大多數(shù)人將乘飛機(jī)旅行。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段首句Second，cars will become very small and computers will control their speed“第二，騎車將會(huì)變得非常小而且電腦將會(huì)控制速度”可知，電腦將控制車速。故選C。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)If people don't save water now，there will be water wars(戰(zhàn)爭)in 50 years“如果人們現(xiàn)在不節(jié)水的話，50年后將會(huì)引起爭水的戰(zhàn)爭”可知，表示水短缺將會(huì)是最嚴(yán)重的問題。故選A。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today“50年后我們的生活將會(huì)變成什么樣子的？沒有人確切地知道答案，但是我們相信與現(xiàn)在的生活非常地不同”以及下文我的弟弟吉爾做的預(yù)測可知，本文旨在告訴人們50年后的生活是什么樣子的。故選D。

做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要先劃關(guān)鍵詞，再根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文中的某一段即可做出題目。

例如第2題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞will travel以及in 50 years可知，定位至Planes will be very popular，and most people would like to take them to travel“飛機(jī)將會(huì)非常受歡迎，大多數(shù)人想要乘他們?nèi)ヂ眯小笨芍��?/span>50年后大多數(shù)人將乘飛機(jī)旅行。故選B。
