What will the city of the future be like...

What will the city of the future be like? No one knows for sure,and making predictions is a risky business. But one thing is certain about the future city—they are going to get bigger before they get smaller. Here are some of the ideas for running a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025.

1. To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun,preventing landfill and environmental problems.

2. No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.

3. In the future all shopping will be done online, and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.

4. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.

5. All forms of recreation,_such as cinemas, bowling, concerts and others, will be provided free of charge by the city.

6. All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will be possible to change the color of cars at the flick of a switch.

7. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.

8. Old people and people with disabilities will be able togo anywhere in the world using high-tech cameras attached to their heads.

9. Traveling in space by ordinary citizens will be common. Each city will have its own spaceport.

1.From the passage, we can infer that now___.

A. some waste materials are got rid of by filling holes in the ground with them

B. a patient can have an operation but doesn't have to stay in hospital

C. you must go out of the city if you want to smoke

D. no cars are powered by solar energy or wind

2.The underlined word “recreation” in the fifth idea probably means“___”.

A. risky business

B. what people will create again

C. taking one's career once again

D. activities for pleasure and amusement

3.Which is the best title for the eighth idea?___

A. Senior citizens    B. Holidays at home

C. The disabled    D. Space travel

 

1.A 2.D 3.B 【解析】文章给我们描述了2025年的城市生活,涉及生活中的方方面面的变化。 1.A 推理判断题。根据第一条中the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun,preventing landfill and environmental problems.可知将来会把废料送往太阳,避免垃圾填埋和造成环境问题。由此可推断现在处理垃圾的主要方法是垃圾填埋,故选A. 2.D 猜测词义题。根据下句such as cinemas, bowling, concerts and others可推测电影、保龄球、音乐会等都属于“recreation”形式,“recreation”指娱乐,消遣”,故选D. 3.B 主旨大意题。第八条中Old people and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world主要是讲老年人和残疾人的旅游,using high-tech cameras attached to their heads.告诉了我们方式是用高科技相机旅游。A项和C项都不全面,也不是D项的太空旅游,故选B.

Like most of my schoolmates, I have either brothers nor sisters; in another words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family;they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I'll get good marks in all my subjects. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat her as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? What things are in other homes,I wonder.
