Question

【題目】On a warm day in 2050, Frank and Mary Smith wake up in the morning and turn on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read Time, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.

Frank reads some usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centres.

As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots(機(jī)器人) to make coffee for them. Frank is an office worker, working for three factories.

文章大意：本文介紹的是2050年的生活，由于電腦和機(jī)器人的應(yīng)用，是非常方便的，孩子們不必出去上學(xué)，英語和漢語是世界兩大語言。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They used to read Time, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.可知，它最可能是一份報(bào)紙，故答案選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Frank reads some usual news about space可知，弗蘭克首先讀一些有關(guān)太空的新聞，故答案選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise. 弗蘭克和瑪麗有一個(gè)女兒，Louise.可知，這個(gè)家庭有三口人，故答案選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them. The Internet has made it much easier to learn at home.由于不再需要教室，2030年教室消失了。互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使在家學(xué)習(xí)變得容易多了�？赏浦�，2030年學(xué)生不需要去學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)了，所以D選項(xiàng)“她去學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)”是錯(cuò)誤的，故答案選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise現(xiàn)在13歲，正在學(xué)習(xí)中文，中文已經(jīng)成為和英語一樣重要的世界語言。可知，2050年中國將在世界上發(fā)揮重要的作用，故答案選D。
