Question

Welcome to your future life!

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

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a 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 sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things 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?

【解析】

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.”可知衣服中的粒子可以幫助改變衣服的顏色和款式。A項(xiàng)為干擾項(xiàng)，說(shuō)人們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)老，根據(jù)第二段可知是說(shuō)抗衰老的技術(shù)比現(xiàn)在好，所以父母的年齡看起來(lái)和自己一樣年輕，但沒(méi)說(shuō)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)老，故排除。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段最后一句話可知，以后的雜貨店里任何東西都含有關(guān)于產(chǎn)品介紹的芯片，所以答案為 C，商店里的食物都含有電子信息。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“In 2035, cars drive themselves.（車自己就能開(kāi)）”可以推知答案。

4.主旨大意。從第一段就開(kāi)始說(shuō)歡迎來(lái)到2035 年的未來(lái)，接著分 別論述了在不同領(lǐng)域中科技的使用等， 所以可知這篇文章主要講的就是將來(lái)的日常生活中科 技的運(yùn)用。
