Question

4．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（胸牌）．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（装置），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：10 or 12 years 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 small 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．

32．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
33．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
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 a ffected．
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 only be used for buying milk
D．will probably not be widely used．

Answer 1

分析 本篇文章主要预测了在未来生活中RFID的广泛应用，交友，购物，看病等，当然也会带来不利影响，如隐私泄露的问题．

解答 32．D．主旨归纳题．由第一段This hasn't quite happened in real life可知，芯片并没有出现在真实生活中．故之后对芯片的应用描述都是预测的．故选D．
33．A．细节理解题．由第一段The chips send back name，job，hobbies，and the time available for meeting-whatever，芯片可以在短时间内发送回别人的名字，工作，爱好．故人们可以轻而易举的到别人的信息．故选A．
34．C．推理判断题．由倒数第二段担忧的人认为racking school kids through RFID tags，通过芯片跟踪学校的孩子和 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时候喝了多少啤酒．可推断人们的私生活会受到影响，故选C．
35．B．推理判断题．由最后一段Marconi的例子可知，推测和实际也是会相反的．因此作者推测广泛应用的芯片不用于买牛奶，恰恰暗示了芯片可以用来买牛奶．故选B．
