　　(2024·江西卷)Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

　　“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.” Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”

　　“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

　　Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

　　It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model，” his father had explained，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

　　“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game.I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work.He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：

　　“ENTER NAMES

　　VOYAGER 1：...

　　VOYAGER 2：...”

　　Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

　　“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自動(dòng)回收程序已啟動(dòng))．”

　　The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

　　“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.

　　But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen，the letters changed.

　　“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION(目的地)：MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”

　　【語篇解讀】 本文講的是一個(gè)科幻故事，兩個(gè)小孩通過電腦里的一個(gè)程序意外穿越到了另外一個(gè)星球——火星。

　　1．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?

　　A．He wanted to take a voyage.

　　B．He wanted to practice his skill.

　　C．He was so much attracted by it.

　　D．He was eager to do an experiment.

　　答案　C　[考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段“Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.”可知，Mark被他父親的電腦深深地吸引住了。]

　　2．Where did the boys' father most likely work?

　　A．In an electronic factory.

　　B．In a computer company.

　　C．In a scientific research center.

　　D．In an information processing center.

　　答案　C　[考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“become a scientist like his father”和第五段中的“from the laboratory where he worked”及下文發(fā)生的情況可知，他父親最有可能在科研中心工作。]

　　3．Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.

　　A．a(chǎn) computer game

　　B．a(chǎn) company website

　　C．a(chǎn) software producer

　　D．a(chǎn)n astronomy program

　　答案　A　[考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。從第六段的“It's a computer game.”可知，Mark認(rèn)為它是一個(gè)電腦游戲的名字。]

　　4．Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?

　　A．He was afraid of being scolded.

　　B．He didn't like the loud noise and light.

　　C．He didn't want to play games any more.

　　D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen.

　　答案　D　[考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。從倒數(shù)第三段的“Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.”可知，Jason非常害怕會(huì)有危險(xiǎn)的事情發(fā)生。]

　　What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?

　　Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology.First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead，people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.By 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer.

　　In what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.In transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.

　　In the domain of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050，we will see robots everywhere—in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.

　　Last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.Today scientists have discovered how to control genes.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?

　　1．What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

　　A．To arouse the interest of the readers.

　　B．To tell the background of the passage.

　　C．To introduce the topic of the passage.

　　D．To describe the pictures of the future.

　　答案　A　[推理判斷題。開篇接連幾個(gè)問句的出現(xiàn)，目的在于吸引讀者的興趣，讓讀者充滿期待地讀完文章。]

　　2．We can know from the passage that ________.

　　A．computer will finally take the place of the media nowadays

　　B．robots will completely have replaced people in factories

　　C．computers will tell drivers exactly where they are in future

　　D．it is more convenient to choose programs sent by the computer

　　答案　D　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“By 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer.”可知這些資訊媒介將會(huì)通過電腦進(jìn)入我們的生活，但并不是說電腦最終代替媒體，所以A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知機(jī)器人將代替人類的一些活動(dòng)，但并不能說機(jī)器人就完全替代人類，所以選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段可知選項(xiàng)C是人類現(xiàn)在的技術(shù)；根據(jù)第二段可知D正確。]

　　3．What's the author's attitude towards the life by 2050?

　　A．Excited but pessimistic.

　　B．Optimistic but worried.

　　C．Eager but afraid.

　　D．Confident but cautious.

　　答案　B　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文的描述可知作者對(duì)未來的生活進(jìn)行了樂觀的預(yù)測(cè)，同時(shí)對(duì)于未來的克隆技術(shù)心存擔(dān)擾。]

　　4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)ll diseases will not conquered by scientists

　　B．scientists have known the way to produce genes

　　C．the clones of human are understanding by scientists

　　D．the clones of animals have a long way to go

　　答案　A　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.”可知現(xiàn)在醫(yī)學(xué)技術(shù)可以攻克一些疾病，與選項(xiàng)A(并不是所有疾病都能被人類攻克)相吻合。]
