Question

Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror(镜子 ). Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging nanotechnology treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, "Turn red." It changes from blue to red. In 2035, "smart clothes" contain particles, which are very tiny in size and can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip.

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves(袖子). Nano-sized "smart technology" is all around you. "Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network," says scientist Ampy Buchholz.

So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist Andrew Zolli, "it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already." The Internet is one example-what will be the next?

1.According to the passage, in 2035

A. people could live to be 150

B. clothes could be much cheaper

C. cars could change color themselves

D. food could stay fresh for a longer time

2.The underlined word "old" in Paragraph 4 means

A. not free    B. not fresh

C. not expensive    D. not young

3.Scientist Ampy Buchholz thinks that smart technology

A. can be highly dangerous    B. can become very common

C. can cause stress for people    D. can take the place of humans

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. How Will We Live in 2035?

B. What Will We Eat and Wear in 2035?

C. Why Will Everyday Life Be Changed?

D. When Will Smart Technology Be Used?

【解析】

本文是一篇科技小短文，主要畅想了未来30-50年人们生活所发生的一系列变化。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段中In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all.可知，在2035年人们能活到150岁。故选A。

2.词义猜测题。根据第倒数第三段中You get the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. 你得到牛奶，但是一个声音说，“你不应该喝那个！”你的冰箱已经在牛奶瓶上读取了FRID芯片，一件电子设备，它知道牛奶是不新鲜的。由“你不应该喝”推知牛奶“不新鲜”，故选B。

3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Nano-sized "smart technology" is all around you. "Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network,"可知，科学家Ampy Buchholz认为智能技术会变得非常普遍。故选B。

4.主旨大意题。根据第一段中You get up in the morning and look into the mirror(镜子 ). Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all.可知，文章主要畅想了未来30-50年人们生活所发生的一系列变化，也就是“在2035年我们怎样生活”，故选A。
