题目内容

【题目】Rapid advances in a new technology will soon transform science fiction into reality — meaning people will have driverless cars, small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home, predicted Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the planet’s largest cell phone trade show.

Introduction of books available online, Internet translation of languages and voice recognition for computers all happened much faster than anyone could foresee and that technological research into even more previously unheard of advances is progressing at a fast speed.

“People who predict that holograms(全息图)and self-driving cars will become reality soon are absolutely right,” Schmidt told thousands of attendees. Research under way will lead to situations where people can put themselves at events like a rock concert so that they can see, hear and even feel the event. And turn down the volume, if it’s too loud.

One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air. “It has an off button and it is here on the right,” Schmidt said. “My point is that it is all about your control. If you don’t like my version of a rock concert, I’m not forcing you to go.” In the future, small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn’t required, Schmidt said.

Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “With technology comes power and with power comes choice, and smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.

1From the passage, the new technology _________.

A. largely depends on science fiction

【答案】

【解析】新技术方面的快速发展很快将科幻变成现实。比如会出现无人驾驶的汽车,由人操纵的智能机器人,不出门就能知晓大事件。但这不会让人害怕,因为这一切都由你控制。

1D细节理解题。文章最后一段中的Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world. “With technology comes power and with power comes choice, and smart resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life,” Schmidt said.可知,新技术会重新定位世界上人们之间的关系,技术带来的力量也会带来更多的新的选择,聪明的、有能力的人会要求更好的生活。故选D项。

2C细节理解题。第四段第一句“One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing, but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air.”可知,一位与会者表示,她很害怕这种可能性是非人性的,但施密特通过把手机举到空中来回答。所以施密特是用举例来消除人们对新科技和担忧。故选C项。

3A推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文中只是客观地描述,未加个人的议论,所以是客观的。故选A。

【题目】We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good or bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are unacceptable. Many people would find it terrible to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as proper food.

Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli (花椰菜) is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.

But dislikes is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture.

One example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from some other cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals (罪犯). Actually, the dog’s place in society as a companion makes the dog taboo as food.

Scientists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.
