Question

The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

Global positioning system(GPS)(全球定位系统)

It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精确的) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts：satellites, control equipments(设备) on land and receivers.

Space Technology

Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station(ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(无限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day spare technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

Underwater Robot

Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

【解析】本文讲述了技术影响了我们生活的各个方面，从我们工作的方式到我们玩的方式，甚至将改变我们的思想，并将极大地影响我们的生活。它甚至导致了一些社会问题，如克隆人类。然后主要介绍了深深地影响我们的三大现代技术：全球定位系统，太空技术和水下机器人。最终得出结论：我们应该接受现代科技，否则我们就赶不上时代潮流了。

1.题意：_________________可以准确地告诉你用户在地球上的位置。考查细节理解题。A. Satellites卫星；B. Receivers无限电接收机；C. Global Positioning System全球定位系统；D. Underwater Robot水下机器人。根据Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)可知：It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions.（它告诉你所有天气条件下用户在地球上的位置。）结合题意可知选C。

2.题意：根据这段话，关于国际空间站哪一个是不正确的？考查细节理解判断题。A. It has carried people to other planets. 它把人类带到了其他星球上。B. It will provide a long­lasting lab for us. 它将为我们提供一个持久的实验室。C. Russian and American scientists are working for it. 俄罗斯和美国科学家正在为此努力。D. Humans will get a lot of advantages from it.人类将从中获得很多好处。根据Space Technology中（Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long­lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages.）可知：B、C、D是对的，A是错误的（可根据该内容的最后一句It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.（人们甚至希望有一天太空技术能把人类带到太空中的新房子里。）可知：说明动作还没有完成，与A项矛盾；选A。

3.题意：赫拉克勒斯习惯于________________。细节理解题。A. save lives in the sea拯救海上生命；B. take pictures in the sea在海里拍照；C. repair the broken ships修理破损的船；D. look for the ancient ships in the sea寻找大海中的古代船只。根据Underwater Robot的第二句It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.（它将被用来搜寻很久以前在深海中被摧毁的古代船只。）结合题意和选项可知选D。

4.题意：从这篇文章中，我们知道_____________________。考查细节理解和推理判断题。A. the use of GPS is affected by the weather conditions GPS的使用受天气状况的影响。B. it's very important for us to learn about new technology学习新技术对我们来说很重要。C. it's easy for us to catch up with all the new inventions我们很容易赶上所有的新发明。D. technology brings us many advantages such as cloning humans科技给我们带来了许多好处，比如克隆人。本文讲述了技术影响了我们生活的各个方面，从我们工作的方式到我们玩的方式，甚至将改变我们的思想，并将极大地影响我们的生活。根据主要内容可知：对于我们来说，学习新科技很重要。结合题意和选项可知选B。

5.题意：这篇文章的目的是什么？考查主旨理解题。A. To help us study some new technology. 帮助我们学习一些新技术。B. To tell us technology is changing the world. 告诉我们技术正在改变世界。C. To help solve the problems that technology causes. 帮助解决技术导致的问题。D. To remind us the advantages of technology are limits. 提醒我们技术的优点是无限的。本文讲述了技术影响了我们生活的各个方面，从我们工作的方式到我们玩的方式，甚至将改变我们的思想，并将极大地影响我们的生活。根据本文主要内容可知本段的主要目的是：要告诉我们——科技正改变着世界。选B。
