1．Imagine you're at a party full of strangers．You're nervous．Who are these people？How do you start a conversation？Fortunately，you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag （標(biāo)簽）．The chips send back name，job，hobbies，and the time available for meeting-whatever．Making new friends becomes simple．
This hasn't quite happened in real life．But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology．
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product，under your pet's skin，even under your own skin．Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it．The energy comes from the reader，a scanning device，that sends out energy （for example，radio waves） that starts up the tag immediately．
Such a tag carries information specific to that object，and the data can be updated．Already，RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport．Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records．At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm．
Take a step back：10or 12years ago，you would have heard about the coming age of computing．One example always seemed to surface：Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk．The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler．
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon．"The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual sall devices，connected wirelessly，"predicts Dr．J．Reich．Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology．It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags，they say．We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it．And how many beers．Accompanied by how many biscuits．
When Marconi invented radio，he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication．Not for pop music．Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future．Here's a wild guess：Not for buying milk．

31．The article is intended toD
A．warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B．explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C．convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D．predict the applications of RFID technology
32．We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags，peopleA
A．will have no trouble getting data about others
B．will have more energy for conversation
C．will have more time to make friends
D．won't feel shy at parties any longer
33．Passive RFID tags chiefly consist ofD
A．scanning devices
B．radio waves
C．batteries
D．chips
34．Why are some people worried about RFID technology？C
A．Because children will be tracked by strangers．
B．Because market competition will become more fierce．
C．Because their private lives will be greatly affected．
D．Because customers will be forced to buy more products．
35．The last paragraph implies that RFID technologyB
A．will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B．will be widely used，including for buying milk
C．will be limited to communication uses
D．will probably be used for pop music．

分析 本篇文章主要預(yù)測(cè)了在未來(lái)生活中RFID的廣泛應(yīng)用，交友，購(gòu)物，看病等，當(dāng)然也會(huì)帶來(lái)不利影響，如隱私泄露的問(wèn)題．

解答 31．D．主旨?xì)w納題．由第一段This hasn't quite happened in real life可知，芯片并沒有出現(xiàn)在真實(shí)生活中．故之后對(duì)芯片的應(yīng)用描述都是預(yù)測(cè)的．故選D．
32．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第一段The chips send back name，job，hobbies，and the time available for meeting-whatever，芯片可以在短時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)送回別人的名字，工作，愛好．故人們可以輕而易舉的到別人的信息．故選A．
33．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段An RFID tag with a tiny chip，可知RFID由芯片組成，故選D．
34．C．推理判斷題．由倒數(shù)第二段擔(dān)憂的人認(rèn)為racking school kids through RFID tags，通過(guò)芯片跟蹤學(xué)校的孩子和 a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it．And how many beers，啤酒公司也知道你什么時(shí)候喝了多少啤酒．可推斷人們的私生活會(huì)受到影響，故選C．
35．B．推理判斷題．由最后一段Marconi的例子可知，推測(cè)和實(shí)際也是會(huì)相反的．因此作者推測(cè)廣泛應(yīng)用的芯片不用于買牛奶，恰恰暗示了芯片可以用來(lái)買牛奶．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇文章難點(diǎn)在推理判斷題上．推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提，以具體事實(shí)為依據(jù)進(jìn)行推理，做出判斷．這種推理方式比較直接，考生只要弄清事實(shí)，即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論．
