You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology，or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the nottoodistant past.Robot HelpersWheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere，of course. And hes probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes.So why hasnt it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.Telephones of TomorrowIn 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet.Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious：peoples desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably notit could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesnt always mean people will want to use it.And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.1The whole passage is mainly about _.A. predictions that have come trueB. predictions that havent come trueC. why predictions dont come true easilyD. what technology will bring about答案与解析：B主旨大意题。作者列举了很久以前人们对未来的预测的例子来证明并不是所有的预测都能完全实现。故选B项2The author of this passage wont believe that _.A. predictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technologyB. the future isnt always easy to guessC. not all past predictions have come trueD. many of the hightech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据第二段中的Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology，or whether people really needed it in their lives or not.可知作者认为很多的预测之所以不能实现是因为它们不考虑人们在生活中是否真的需要这种科技，故A项是作者不赞成的。3The underlined word “weird” in Para. 5 probably means _.A. wonderful B. stupidC. practical D. strange答案与解析：D词义猜测题。根据上文知道机器人太昂贵、太笨拙，所以机器人帮人们洗衣做饭的想法现在看来仍是不可思议的事情，故选D项。4What does the author think of the flying car?A. It is too difficult to imagine.B. It is too crazy an idea.C. It is likely to be made.D. It is often reported in the news.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Its not so crazy any more！可知会飞的汽车的想法有可能会实现。故选C项。B(原创)Thirtytwo of the worlds best football teams competed for the golden World Cup trophybut the planets most populous(人口众多的) nation is not among them.Team China failed to qualify for the “beautiful games” showpiece event in Brazil. In fact Chinas World Cup dream turned into a nightmare as early as 2011 ，when it was removed in a regional qualifying round. China reached the finals only once back in 2002. But their debut (首秀) turned out to be an embarrassing result: they were knocked out after the group stage without scoring a single goal.Still，these setbacks did not get rid of the football fever here.Chinese football fans enjoyed the action in Brazil despite matches taking place after midnight，Beijing time.By all means, local fans found ways to stay up late for the games. Some took paid leave, and others found excuses to stay home，such as getting doctors to sign sickleave certificates. A man asked to take the day off to attend a teacherparent conference.Some managers said workplace productivity dropped during the World Cup. However, enthusiasm for the game brought commercial benefit. The World Cup advertising revenue (收入) for Leshi，one of Chinas largest video websites was estimated to reach RMB100 million yuan ($16 million), said its top executive Qiang Wei.This summer alone CCTV, the state television network, could get in as much as RMB1.5 billion yuan ($ 240 million) in advertising revenue 50% more than their earnings from the 2010 World Cup.During the monthlong competition held in Brazil, Chinese sports fans gathered for viewing parties in their living rooms, in factories and school dormitories, and in restaurants and bars, many of which opened late for the fans to watch matches live on television.5How many times have China been qualified for the World Cup?A. Once. B. Twice.C. Three times. D. Zero.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段的China reached the finals only once back in 2002.可知，中国队唯一一次踢进世界杯是在2002年。故选A。6According to Paragraph 5, we can infer Chinese football fans _.A. make up all kinds of ways to improve Chinas footballB. make up all kinds of ways to stay up to watch the World CupC. have no choice but to improve Chinas footballD. have no choice but to stay up to watch the World Cup答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知，中国球迷千方百计地为熬夜看球寻找途径。故选B。7. Why did workplace productivity drop during the World Cup?A. Because many people didnt concentrate on their work.B. Because the management was not perfect.C. Because some Chinese football fans were on strike.D. Because the financial crisis continued.答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据上下文可知，在世界杯期间很多球迷晚上熬夜看世界杯他们不能集中注意力工作，所以工作效率下降。故选A。8What made Leshi and CCTV bring in a lot in the World Cup?A. The fund from the government.B. The sale of tickets.C. The advertisements.D. The investment from football fans.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第六、七段的内容可知。广告使它们收入很多。9Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Team China failed to take part in the 2014 World Cup.B. All kinds of Chinese football fans.C. The 2014 World Cup held in Brazil.D.
