B．a(chǎn)noldmachineC．a(chǎn)noceananimal D．intelligentrobots解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由該段中的“machinesofsiliconwillarisetocompetewiththeirhumanancestors”可知，carbon在此是指代人類(碳基生命是以碳元素為有機(jī)物質(zhì)基礎(chǔ)的生物，地球上已知的生物，包括人類在內(nèi)，大多數(shù)都是碳基生命)，故選A項。6．Inthelastparagraph,theauthormainly________.A．talksabouttheintelligenceofrobotsB．explainshowtocreateaworldinspaceC．describeswhatourfuturelifemightbeD．showshisworryabouttheenvironment解析：選C段落大意題。作者在本段中主要就人類未來的生活進(jìn)行了簡單地描繪，故選C項。CThesearesomeideasthatsomepeoplecameupwithaboutwhatthelifewillbelikeintheyear2500.Wewillhaveestablishedabaseonthemoon.Schoolkidscantakefieldtripstothemoonweekly.Wewillhavefoundcures(療法)forAIDSandcancer.Thewarwillhaveendedandpeaceflowsfreelythroughtheland.Kidswilllearnmoreandbesmarterthaneverbefore!Historywillbethemainsubjectatschool.Cafeteria(自助餐廳)foodwillbedelicious!Youjustwalkuptoamachine,stickoutyourtongue,anditwillscanyourtastebuds(味蕾)toseewhatyouwanttoeat.—KristenHereIaminthewonderfulyearof2500andlifeissoeasy.Iworkinapetstoreanditissohard!Ihavetowakeupatmidnighteverydayandflymycartothestore.Ittakessolongtogetthere.Ittakesme20secondstogettothestoreinMississippifrommyhomeinFlorida!Atwork,Ihavetopush5buttonsandthenIgohome.Ittakes2secondsandthatislikeforever.—MorganIntheyear2500,Ithinkwewillhaveinventedcarsthatrunonthingswedon'tneedlikegarbage.Tailgaswillsmelllikewhateveryoulikesuchaschocolate.Ialsopredictthatbuildingswillbeabletogointoadifferentdimension(維)soyourcarwon'thitthem.Thecarsin2500don'tfly,forwehaven'tgotthattechnologyyet,buttheycanhover(盤旋)uptosevenfeet.Thesecarsaremadeforspeed!—CarlyInsteadofcars,wemayhavehoveringdevicesthatfloataround.Wecouldalsohaveelectriccarsinsteadofgas-poweredcars.Foodmightbemorehealthy.WhatIbelieveisthattheenvironmentwillchangethemost.Theenvironmentalchangeswillalsodeterminemanyotherchanges.Ifmorepeopletrytohelptheenvironment,thenperhapsin2500wewillhavemoreforestsandwildlife.Ifpeoplewon'thelptheenvironment,thenwewillhavenoforestsandlittlewildlifeleft.—Robertaeq\x(語篇解讀：2500年的生活會是什么樣子呢？人們對它展開了豐富的想象。)7．AccordingtoKristen,whatwillhappenin2500?A．Englishwillbethemainsubjectatschool.B．Studentscangotothemooneveryweek.C．Cafeteriawillreplaceotherrestaurants.D．AIDSandcancerwilldisappear.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中克里斯滕所說的話“Schoolkidscantakefieldtripstothemoonweekly.”可知B項為正確答案。8．Morganthinkshisworkinthepetstoreis________.A．difficult B．meaninglessC．important D．easy解析：選D推理判斷題。文章中摩根對他工作的具體描述使用的是反語，他真實的意思是“這份工作太輕松了”。他的第一句話也是對該意思的提示，故選D項。9．Whomainlytellsthereaderofthecarsin2500?A．Kristen. B．Morgan.C．Carly. D．Roberta.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中卡力所說的那段話可知，他主要談到的是2500年的汽車，包括汽車的燃料、廢氣及功能等，故選C項。10．Robertathinksthatin2500________.A．theenvironmentwillhavechangedalotB．therewillbemorewildlifeandforestsC．theenvironmentwillbeseriouslydamagedD．carswillrunonsolarpowerandelectricity解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中羅伯塔所說的那段話可知，她所堅信的是環(huán)境一定會變化很大，或往好的方面變化，或往壞的方面變
