Question

What do you think the future will be like? Here are some answers from some students.

Mary: If we don’t take good care of the earth now, our children and grandchildren will be born into a world with much pollution(污染). There will be fewer trees and more buildings, because there will be more people.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講的是人們對未來世界是什么樣子的一些預(yù)測。在短文中三位同學(xué)發(fā)表了自己的觀點(diǎn)。Mary認(rèn)為將來地球上的樹會更少，樓會更多，因?yàn)閷�來人會更多；Jack認(rèn)為未來地球會變得太熱而不能居住；Linda認(rèn)為未來人們的生活會變得更好。

1.主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文的開頭What do you think the future will be like? Here are some answers from some students可知，你認(rèn)為將來是什么樣子的？這里是來自于一些學(xué)生的答案。這是這篇短文的中心句，下面給我們列舉了三個學(xué)生對這件事情的看法。所以這篇短文主要討論的是將來的生活。故選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第二段Mary所說的話中There will be fewer trees and more buildings, because there will be more people可知，Mary認(rèn)為將來將會有更少的樹和更多的大樓，因?yàn)閷�來會有更多的人。故選A。

3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)這個單詞所在的句子Humans(人類)won’t be able to live on the earth. They will have to look for another planet to live on. 可知，Jack覺得未來人類將不能住在地球上，他們將會尋找另一個星球來居住。這里的planet 是指像地球一樣的其他星球，而不是沙漠、島嶼或海底，這些都不是人類能居住的地方。故選C。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中Jack的觀點(diǎn)The weather in the future will be much hotter.可知，Jack認(rèn)為未來天氣將會變得很熱，所以人類將不會在地球上居住，而是要尋找其他的星球。故選B，地球?qū)�會變得太熱了而不能居住�?/span>

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后一點(diǎn)Linda的觀點(diǎn)中可知，Linda預(yù)測Most people in the world will use “green cars” by 2020，到2020年世界上的人們將會使用綠色汽車；there will be less pollution，污染將會更少；people will live to be 200 years old，人們將會活到200歲；we will visit Mars in about fifty years，大約50年后我們將能夠去火星。故一共是四件事情。故選D。

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀。
