Question

Life in the future will be different from life today. But what will the change be?

The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.

People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

1.细节理解题。句意：In the future there will be more people.未来人口会更多。由第一段里的：There will be more people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.可知，未来人口会更多，而且人们会活得更久。故本句正确。

2.细节理解题。句意：Every family will have at least one robot .每一个家庭将会至少有一个机器人。由第二段里的：Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home.可知，未来每个家庭将至少有一台电脑。故本句错误。

4.细节理解题。句意：People may not eat meat as much as they do today.人们可能不会像今天这样吃那么多的肉。由短文第四段里的： Maybe no one will eat it every day.可知，在将来可能没有人每天吃肉。即人们吃肉的次数会比现在少。故本句正确。

5.细节理解题。句意：One big problem in the future is that many people don't have to work.在将来一个大问题是许多人不必工作。由短文最后的内容：Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.可知，在将来许多人没有工作做，这将是一个大问题。故本句错误。
