The future home is something that people have talked about for decades.Because the future home idea inspires our imagination, scientists and engineers have been working hard to develop different systems to make houses “smarter”.
The video camera at the entrance recognizes visitors using facial recognition software.The facial recognition software of the future home will not only recognize friends, but strangers as well.And the software in your future home will run the strangers' faces against a database of criminals.
The future home will also have smart appliances (家电) as well.There will be a vast networking system connecting them.Ovens, microwaves and refrigerators will be regulated automatically (自动地), so remote cooking will be bound to come true and meals are prepared for your arrival.
There will also be green systems in place such as saving and reusing wash water and bath water.Plants and people may receive pure or mineralized drinking water.
If you think this future home idea is pie in the sky or science fiction, then think it again.Most of the systems described here are either in development or already out at the market.Future homes may not be standard yet for the middle class but this isn't as far ahead as many people would think.

3.What does the underlined word “standard” in the last paragraph mean?

C.Special. D.Excellent.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据语境及画线词所在句中的but可知but前后是转折关系;根据画线词后边的“but this isn't as far ahead as many people would think.”可知这部分是说未来家庭离我们没有那么遥远,由此推测but前边说的是不太理想的方面,由此可推断画线词所在句想表达的是:虽然对于中产阶级来说,未来家庭可能还不普遍,但它并不像人们想的那么遥远。由此可知画线词在此处的意思是“普遍的(common)”。故选B。attractive吸引人的;special特殊的;excellent完美的。

What will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts agree that the school will be electronic in the future.
“Presentday schools will no longer exist in the next century, ” says a report in The Age.“At that time, future schools will become communitystyle centers, which run seven days a week, 24 hours a day.” At the same time, computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.
According to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers.Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them.However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.
The Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia.At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers.Teachers check messages and call students back on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons.Besides, all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers.
As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students' library, data storage (数据存储) as well as the bridge to a wider world.Technology has changed the core of future learning.Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要谈了对未来学校的构想, 例如, 现在的学校将不复存在, 以后的学校将是电子化的等。

7.What does the underlined word “core” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Lesson. B.Score.
C.Attitude. D.Focus.
解析:D 词义猜测题。根据后文“Thus, we'll pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.”可知, 我们会更多地关注孩子的学习, 而非教学。科技改变了未来学习的重点。故画线单词意思为“重点, 中心”。
8.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.The Schools in the Future
B.Great Changes in Technology
C.The Seashore Primary School
D.Actual Schools to Be Replaced
解析:A 标题归纳题。根据第一段中“What will the future school ...in the future.”可知, 本文给出了一篇报告的内容并以滨海小学为例证, 给出了对未来学校的描述, 故A项“未来的学校”适合作文章标题。
