Question

【題目】Today, the technology that is being developed for cell phones is surprising. Soon our cell phones will be able to do things that we thought impossible or not even thought of at all.

When picturing the future, there are quite a few things that we would love our cell phones to be able to do. Let’s take a look at the ones that are likely to be in the next generation of cell phones. Cell phones of the near future will be able to start and unlock cars, turn lights on and off in houses, make payments(付款), work as computers. This sounds too good to be true, right? Fortunately, this future is just over the horizon; you won’t wait too long. New technology for phones is being developed to realize eye scans(掃描)and fingerprint scans as new“unlock your phone”, so you needn’t worry about your information being stolen.

What do I want my phone to be able to do? I want it to be special. For example, I will shout to my phone across the room“Give me directions to the market”and it pulls up the directions and sends them to my printer. Is it possible? Yes. Maybe someday cell phones will be able to change into robots and walk our dogs and clean our houses too. Who knows? In the last 30 years we have gone from hardly knowing what a cell phone was to surfing the Internet with excellent cell phones.

It is hard to believe that technology is advancing as quickly as it is, with no end in sight. In 5 years the technology of today will be a thing of the past, and the world won’t look back one bit.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 A

【2】 D

【3】 B

【4】 A

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。將來的手機(jī)會(huì)做我們認(rèn)為不可能做到的事情。手機(jī)可以變成機(jī)器人，還能夠像機(jī)器人那樣工作。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句there are quite a few things that we would love our cell phones to be able to do.確定A想為正確答案。作者說手機(jī)可以用來支付，但未說什么都能支付，故排除D項(xiàng)。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)前后文知道作者描述的這種將來，你不會(huì)等待很久，由此可猜出over the horizon意為“即將到來”，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的--- realize eye scans(掃描)and fingerprint scans as new“unlock your phone”, so you needn’t worry about your information being stolen.可知，如果你的眼睛掃描是通過他的手機(jī)完成的，他的信息就不會(huì)丟失。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段我們知道將來的手機(jī)可以回答問題，可以遛狗，做家務(wù)，可知手機(jī)能夠像機(jī)器人那樣工作。故選A。

利用上下文提供的情景和線索，進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析進(jìn)而推測(cè)詞義，尤其是要抓住所需推斷詞匯前后的含義找出正確答案。本題第2小題，根據(jù)前后文知道作者描述的這種將來，你不會(huì)等待很久，由此可猜出over the horizon意為“即將到來”。
