Once you e into the building, you will feel that you39。re in a modern and future home. When you enter the building, Grace39。s voice, ing from a hidden speaker, tells you your messages. In the kitchen, you set a bag of flour（面粉） on a flat stone table. Grace sees what you39。re doing and makes a menu of flourbased foods on the table. Once you choose one, Grace gives you ingredients（配料）. There39。s also a notice board in the kitchen made of “intelligent（智能的） cloth” that works like a touch screen puter. You can deal with postcards and invitations and surf the net with the touch of a finger. The invitations could be encoded（編碼）. You can deal with them on the puter. It39。s part of Microsoft39。s Smart Personal Objects Technology, whose aim is to make every object more efficient（有效率的）. “The day when your house bees a member of your family is not far,” says Pam Heath, a manager of Microsoft. At the Andersen Windows Company, Jay Libby imagines that windows made of intelligent glass can be changed into TVs. “Nobody wants a television set,” says Libby. “What you want is the service it provides.” If the TV isn39。t improved, it will disappear in the future. Home entertainment is one consideration for the future. At the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, scientists are designing systems that will allow old people to live better on their own. So Grandma39。s home can be cleverly designed to recognize（識別） her ways of waking, sleeping and movement. Family members will be told any change by their puters.（1）We can know from the passage that Grace _________.A.is an idea known as the Microsoft HomeB.is a machine that works like a TVC.can understand what its master doesD.can cook meals for its master（2）According to the passage, all the following are true EXCEPT________.A.Grace can help you in the kitchenB.you can use the puter with a touch screenC.windows will take the place of TV sets in the near futureD.TV technology needs improving（3）It can be inferred（推斷） from the passage that ________.A.the building in the future will be intelligentB.your windows will be changed into TVsC.few people will like watching TV in the futureD.all the old people will live without others’ help（4）Which would be the best title for the text?A.Modern HomeB.Popular HomeC.Future HomeD.Smart Home【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】你走進廚房，Grace會告訴你相關的留言，你看見面粉，Grace會給你提供面食的菜單，你選擇一個菜單，Grace會給你相關的配料，這些都是智能家庭給我們帶來的便利，高效。在未來智能家庭還會提供更多更便利的科技，計算機正改變著我們的生活。（1）推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段的描述和第二段tells you your messages告訴你信息； makes a menu of flourbased foods on the table制定面食菜單； gives you ingredients給你配料等，可知Grace應該是一臺家庭智能機器，它會看懂你做的事情，并提供必要的幫助，故選C。（2）推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段在廚房的活動可知A是對的；根據(jù)第二段 that works like a touch screen puter和You can deal with them on the puter可知B是對的；根據(jù)第三段 windows made of intelligent glass can be changed into TVs用智能玻璃做成的Windows可以變成電視，并沒有要取代電視的意思，故C是錯誤的；根據(jù)第四段 If the TV isn’t improved, it will disappear in the future可知如果電視沒有改進，它在將來會消失，故D也是對的。因此選C。（3）推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段Home entertainment is one consideration for the future和scientists are designing systems that will allow old people to live better on their own可知科學家們正努力使未來的建筑智能化。故選A。（4）主旨大意。根據(jù)本文舉到的例子“智能廚房”可知，未來的家庭智能化必將是一種趨勢。【點評】閱讀理解考查對篇章的把握和對細節(jié)的識別能力，答題時注意緊扣問題中的關鍵詞，在文章中尋找答案。6．閱讀理解 I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket to the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills every day between 10：00 . and 4：00 . Because I work from 9：00 5：30 ., the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round（往返）trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one ing around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the tripso I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fiftyfive minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town. Then on Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worthwhile to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.（1）It seems that the writer of the story works . A.in a small townB.in Richland HillsC.on a farm near the town160
