　　(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(自動回收程序已啟動)．”

　　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】 本文講的是一個科幻故事，兩個小孩通過電腦里的一個程序意外穿越到了另外一個星球——火星。

　　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?

　　【語篇解讀】 本篇文章從五個方面對2050年未來的生活進行了展望，同時也存在著些許擔心，如克隆技術等。

　　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。開篇接連幾個問句的出現，目的在于吸引讀者的興趣，讓讀者充滿期待地讀完文章。]

　　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　[細節理解題。根據文章第一段“By 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer.”可知這些資訊媒介將會通過電腦進入我們的生活，但并不是說電腦最終代替媒體，所以A錯誤；根據倒數第二段可知機器人將代替人類的一些活動，但并不能說機器人就完全替代人類，所以選項B錯誤；根據第三段可知選項C是人類現在的技術；根據第二段可知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.

　　A．all 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。根據最后一段“Last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.”可知現在醫學技術可以攻克一些疾病，與選項A(并不是所有疾病都能被人類攻克)相吻合。]
