【题目】A

Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another,and how this new connectivity is being used to deliver medicine to the patient no matter where he or she may be.

Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms (症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly,however,remote diagnosis (远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data (生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone,it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment,the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need especially after earthquakes. On the whole,the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts' opinions.

But there is one problem.Bandwidth (宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex (复杂的) medical pictures around the world CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the shortterm needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the secondgeneration Internet and thirdgeneration mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

Doctors have met todiscuss computerbased tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications,the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and sharing of medical information,experts' opinions and diagnosis are common.

【1】The writer chiefly talks about______.

A.the use of telemedicine

B.the online doctors

C.medical care and treatment

D.communication improvement

【2】The basis of remote diagnosis will be______.

【3】The underlined word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that______.

A.bandwidth isn't big enough to send complex medical pictures

B.the secondgeneration Internet has not become popular yet

C.communication satellites can only deal with shortterm needs

D.there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

【4】Why will broadcast communications become cheaper in the future?

A.Because the government will offer larger part of the money.

B.Because the price of medicines in the future will fall.

C.Because a newer method of communications will replace it.

D.Because the price of broadband communications will fall.

【题目】B

Like millions of other houses on this planet, my house is made out of wood, glass and stone. However, it is also made out of software.

If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised the minute you come in, when you will be presented with an electronic PIN (个人身份号码)to wear, which tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you whatever you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.

I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. Today's leading-edge technology will help me build tomorrow’s better home. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?

【1】According to the passage, the author is probably a(n) .

A. musician B. architect

C. experienced teacher D. IT expert

【2】 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. A home for the future.

B. The function (功能) of the PIN.

C. How to develop a new system.

D. Easy life in the future.

【3】 Whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?

A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.

B. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.

C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.

D. To let readers know how special his house is.

【4】 The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because .

A. it has your favorite music following you

B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

D. it has been controlled by computers.
