【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ice building in Redmond, Washington. 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(guān)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(guān)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(yīng)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(xué)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?！军c評】閱讀理解考查對篇章的把握和對細(xì)節(jié)的識別能力，答題時注意緊扣問題中的關(guān)鍵詞，在文章中尋找答案。6．閱讀理解 Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man39。s new good friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can39。t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat39。s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat39。s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Robots39。 noses don39。t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don39。t need electricity! The rat project is not finished. But a scientist says, It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn39。t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn39。t safe. Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building （but only after an earthquake, of course）.（1）Where do you think you can find this passage? A.In a magazine about toys.B.In a history book.C.In a newspaper about science.D.In an advertisement.（2）Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A.Rats don39。t need electricity.B.Rats are better than robots when smelling.C.Rats are as clever as radios.D.Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.（3）Why does the rat project sound great according to the passage? A.Because rats can get into very small spaces.B.Because rats have better noses than dogs.C.Because rats don39。t like robots.D.Because rats are brave.（4）Which is the best title of this passage? A.Ways of saving peopleB.RatsC.EarthquakesD.Rats for rescue【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】主要講了老鼠是怎樣營救人的。 （1）推斷題。根據(jù)全文可知主要講了老鼠救人，所以可以在關(guān)于科學(xué)的報紙上發(fā)現(xiàn)，故選C。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio ，而沒有說老鼠和收音機一樣聰明，故選C。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn39。t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn39。t safe.可知是因為老鼠可以去非常小的地方，故選A。 （4）主旨題。根據(jù)全文可知主要講了老鼠是怎樣營救人的。故選D。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)題、推斷題和主旨題三種常考題型，細(xì)節(jié)題要注意從文中尋找答案；推斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息；主旨題需要通讀全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。7．閱讀理解 Humans have learnt many things from nature.
