Question

【題目】 Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?

The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and they spend most of time doing sports, watching TV, traveling and surfing the Internet. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more and more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for（將被用來）building new towns and houses for all people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead, they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. That will be a new problem.

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文最后一段Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do.可知，在未來，很多工作將由機器人來完成，因此人們不必長時間的工作了。故應選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第三段中Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day.可知，未來的肉會更貴，所以人們吃肉就吃得少了。由此可知應選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文最后一段Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. That will be a new problem可知，未來一些危險的、困難的工作都將由機器人完成，因此人們就沒有足夠的工作做，這會成為一個問題。由此可知應選B。
