Answer 1

分析 有一份報(bào)告預(yù)測(cè)了100年后人類的生活．據(jù)它描述，摩天樓將更"挺拔"，水泡結(jié)構(gòu)的水下城市以及太空度假將會(huì)出現(xiàn)．這份報(bào)告來自一個(gè)公司．它就2116年的生活向太空學(xué)家、建筑學(xué)家以及城市規(guī)劃人士進(jìn)行詢問．并認(rèn)為2116年的生活、工作以及出游方式將與當(dāng)今截然不同．專家們用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)作為例子．他們表示，二十五年前，人們無法想象互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和智能手機(jī)會(huì)改變?nèi)藗兊纳�活．因�(yàn)榛ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)，我們的交流方式、學(xué)習(xí)方式以及處理日常事務(wù)的方式發(fā)生了徹底改變．并稱下個(gè)世紀(jì)的變化將更加難以置信．
  就這些預(yù)測(cè)的可能性，研究人員對(duì)兩千名成年人進(jìn)行了詢問．據(jù)他們預(yù)測(cè)，家居辦公和網(wǎng)上工作會(huì)議將占據(jù)主流．通過先進(jìn)的3D打印機(jī)，人們可以下載家具設(shè)計(jì)以及美食菜譜，通過它們?cè)诩?打印"沙發(fā)、桌子或是披薩．人們不再需要醫(yī)生．一切由家庭健康器材解決，它會(huì)給我們?cè)\斷治療．我們可以去太空旅行，并獲得在地球上用盡的資源．但有一點(diǎn)被人們所遺忘，那就是人們還需不需要學(xué)習(xí)英語．

解答 31 D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)上文"They said the way we live，work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today．他們認(rèn)為2116年的生活、工作以及出游方式將與當(dāng)今截然不同．"可知 想利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來表明：未來生活將因科技會(huì)發(fā)生很大變化，故選D
32 C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"People will have highly developed  3-D  printers that will let you download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then‘print'the sofa，table or pizza at home．通過先進(jìn)的3D打印機(jī)，人們可以下載家具設(shè)計(jì)以及美食菜譜，通過它們?cè)诩摇�打�?沙發(fā)、桌子或是披薩．"故選C
33 D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)下文"A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English．"可知人們不知道未來還需不需要學(xué)習(xí)英語．故選D
34 A  推理判斷題  根據(jù)"A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years now．有一份報(bào)告預(yù)測(cè)了100年后人類的生活．"可知這篇短文主要是關(guān)于2116年的生活，故選A
35 B  推理判斷題  根據(jù)短文大意可知，這是一篇預(yù)測(cè)未來生活的文章，可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙上，故選B

點(diǎn)評(píng) 這是一篇關(guān)于預(yù)測(cè)未來生活的短文，題目涉及到很多細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．做題時(shí)應(yīng)結(jié)合短文和對(duì)短文的理解進(jìn)行選擇，做到有理有據(jù)，做完后仔細(xì)檢查．
