题型专项突破-Unit3阅读理解（未来生活篇）

一、阅读理解

1.

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 to go 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

答案：(1)-(3)

解析：文章大意：本文就环境、购物、娱乐、交通等方面设想了2025年的人类生

活。

(1) A 推理判断题。根据第一部分“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.”可知垃圾运到太空

中可防止垃圾填埋现象，由此推知A项正确。

(2) D 词义猜测题。从such as后列举的cinemas，bowling, concerts and others

可知该词意为“娱乐活动”。

(3)B 主旨大意题。从第八点所表述的内容可了解到在家也能“旅游”，故可称之

为在家度假。

Some people are pessimistic (悲观) when they think about the future.

They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the

earth's resources. We will have polluted our sea badly, and be unable to

eat fish from it. We will have made air so dirty that we will need to wear
