Question

                                B

  What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30  years from now,according to the BBC.

Digital money

  We used to pay with cash (現(xiàn)金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card (信用卡) to shop online,money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.

  When ATM cards were first introduced,they were not accepted everywhere.But now it's hard to live without them. It's reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year,and the US might be the next.

Bionic (仿生的) eye 

  It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back一by wearing bionic eyes.

  A blind eye can no longer sense light,but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data  (數(shù)據(jù)) to the mind Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high-resolution (高清的) image could be just a few years away.

Self-driving cars 

  Unlike a human driver,a self-driving car won’t get distracted (分神) by a phone call,the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探測(cè)器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,driverless cars would be widely accepted.

Answer 1

6. A 7. B 8. C 9. C 10. A

6. A

 (讀文中對(duì)電子貨幣的介紹的最后一句話It's reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year ,...可知選A.)

7. B 

(通過作者對(duì)電子貨幣的介紹分析，得知作者主要告訴我們 電子貨幣使用的方便性、安全性，并舉例Sweden已經(jīng)不用現(xiàn)金 支付，可推斷B正確。)

8. C 

(通讀全文對(duì)電子貨幣、仿生眼、無人駕駛汽車的介紹可知， 電子眼不再僅僅出現(xiàn)在科幻片中，日常生活中也將出現(xiàn);人駕 駛汽車有時(shí)會(huì)受外界影響分神;將來盲人用上電子眼能夠看清 楚外界的事物；使用無人駕駛汽車不可能完全避免事故的發(fā) 生。故選   C. )

9. C 

(通讀全文可知本文介紹的信息是科技領(lǐng)域發(fā)展的情況。 故選   C. )

10. A

 (通讀全文分析，推斷在未來社會(huì)機(jī)器人不可能掌控全世 界，盲人可用電子眼看清外界的事物，用上電子貨幣生活將更 方便、更安全，無人駕駛汽車的優(yōu)點(diǎn)眾多，人們將更多地使用 它們。故選A. )
