Question

【題目】根據短文內容選擇正確答案。
C
Grace, usually known as the Home of Microsoft, is inside an office building in Redmond, Washington. Once you come into the building, you will feel that you're in a modern and future home.
When you enter the building, Grace's voice, coming 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 you're doing and makes a menu of flour-based foods on the table. Once you choose one, Grace gives you ingredients(配料).
There's also a notice board in the kitchen made of “intelligent(智能的) cloth” that works like a touch screen computer. 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 computer. It's part of Microsoft's Smart Personal Objects Technology, whose aim is to make every object more efficient(有效率的).
“The day when your house becomes 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 isn'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 Grandma'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 computers.

【解析】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。根據第一段的描述和第二段tells you your messages告訴你信息； makes a menu of flour-based 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。根據第二段在廚房的活動可知A是對的；根據第二段 that works like a touch screen computer和You can deal with them on the computer可知B是對的；根據第三段 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。故選D.智能家庭。
