Question

The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

Global positioning system(GPS)(全球定位系統(tǒng))

It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精確的) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts：satellites, control equipments(設(shè)備) on land and receivers.

Space Technology

Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station(ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(無限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day spare technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

Underwater Robot

Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：該短文先概述了科技正深刻地影響著我們的生活，盡管也給人類帶來了一些副面影響。然后介紹了即將改變我們的觀點(diǎn)、即將深刻地影響我們的三大發(fā)明。最終得出結(jié)論：我們應(yīng)該接受現(xiàn)代科技，否則我們就趕不上時代潮流。

1. Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系統(tǒng))中It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions.可知在各種天氣條件下全球定位系統(tǒng)會告訴你在地球上所處的位置。所以選C。

2. Technology可知：B、C、D是對的，A是錯誤的（可根據(jù)該內(nèi)容的最后一句It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space. 可知它甚至希望有一天太空技術(shù)將人類自己的新房子建在宇宙空間。說明動作還沒有完成，與A項(xiàng)矛盾。）。所以選A。

3. Robot的第二句話It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago可知它將被用來尋找古代被毀到深海的船只。所以選D。

4.細(xì)讀全文可知：對于我們來說，學(xué)習(xí)新科技是很重要的。所以選B。

5.主旨大意題：作者寫該文的目的在于要告訴我們——科技正改變著世界。所以選B。

考點(diǎn)：科普類閱讀。
