【題目】What will our future look like? As for the future home, cookers will be set so that you can cook a complete meal at_the_touch_of_a_switch. Television will give the information on prices at the nearby shops as well as news and enjoyment. Visionphones will bring pictures as well as sound to telephone conversation. Machines will control temperature, lighting, enjoyment and gardening, etc. At work, robots will take over most jobs and working hours will fall to under 30 hours a week. Holidays will get longer. Six weeks will be the holidays every year.

What most shocks us is that in the future it will be possible to use virtual reality(虛擬現(xiàn)實)to bring the dead back to life. People will drag out their old and boring home movies and choose a relative to bring back to life. The visual will be combined with records about that person to create a virtual relative. Then the family can have a chat with that relative, keep it running, and live with it. The experience will be like living with a ghost.

【1】This passage is mainly about________.

A．what our future life will be like

B．how machines help us with our life

C．what the use of robots will be

D．how to live with a ghost

【2】The underlined words “at the touch of a switch” in the first paragraph mean________.

A．when you are beside the switches of the cookers

B．on touching the cookers

C．they will become ghosts and come back

D．the family can't chat with them

【答案】【1】A

【2】C

【3】A

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話可知這篇文章是對未來生活的描述。

【2】詞義理解題。switch意為“開關”， at the touch of a switch意為“一碰開關”，也就是一打開廚具。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句話“Six weeks will be the holidays every year.”可知每年人們會有6個星期也就是42天的假期。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第五句話“Machines will control temperature, lighting, enjoyment and gardening, etc.”可知B、C、D三項正確；文中提到機器能控制溫度，而不是人的體溫。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知：在將來，人們會使用虛擬現(xiàn)實的技術把已故的人的影像帶入現(xiàn)實生活，并且可以與之談話等。由此可知，并不是死去的人真的又活了過來或者變成了鬼魂。

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

D

Most people around the world are“righthanded”. This also seems to be true in history. In 1979, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B．C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded so the scientist guessed that righthandedness has always been common through history. Today, about 10% of 15% of the world's population is lefthanded.

Why are there more righthanded people than lefthanded ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hand and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be lefthanded, and studies have found that lefthandedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded instead of lefthanded. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become lefthanded because their main brain is damaged when they are born. however, this doesn't happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become lefthanded.

One idea is that people usually get righthanded from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for righthandedness, he/she may become either righthanded or lefthanded according to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though righthandedness is more common than lefthandedness, people no longer think lefthanded people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, lefthanded children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to.

【1】After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found________.

A．the art began from 1500 B．C.

B．the works of art ended in 1950s

C．most people shown in the works of art are righthanded

D．most people in the works of art the lefthanded

【2】What is the left hand for most people used to do?

A．It's used to find or hold things.

B．It's used to work with things.

C．It's used to make a person's eyes and hands work together.

D．It's the centre for thinking and doing problems.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded.

B．Lefthandedness is cleverer than righthandedness.

C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become lefthanded
