Answer 1

分析 有一份报告预测了100年后人类的生活．据它描述，摩天楼将更"挺拔"，水泡结构的水下城市以及太空度假将会出现．这份报告来自一个公司．它就2116年的生活向太空学家、建筑学家以及城市规划人士进行询问．并认为2116年的生活、工作以及出游方式将与当今截然不同．专家们用互联网作为例子．他们表示，二十五年前，人们无法想象互联网和智能手机会改变人们的生活．因为互联网，我们的交流方式、学习方式以及处理日常事务的方式发生了彻底改变．并称下个世纪的变化将更加难以置信．
  就这些预测的可能性，研究人员对两千名成年人进行了询问．据他们预测，家居办公和网上工作会议将占据主流．通过先进的3D打印机，人们可以下载家具设计以及美食菜谱，通过它们在家"打印"沙发、桌子或是披萨．人们不再需要医生．一切由家庭健康器材解决，它会给我们诊断治疗．我们可以去太空旅行，并获得在地球上用尽的资源．但有一点被人们所遗忘，那就是人们还需不需要学习英语．

解答 31 D  细节理解题  根据上文"They said the way we live，work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today．他们认为2116年的生活、工作以及出游方式将与当今截然不同．"可知 想利用互联网来表明：未来生活将因科技会发生很大变化，故选D
32 C  细节理解题  根据"People will have highly developed  3-D  printers that will let you download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then‘print'the sofa，table or pizza at home．通过先进的3D打印机，人们可以下载家具设计以及美食菜谱，通过它们在家‘打印'沙发、桌子或是披萨．"故选C
33 D  细节理解题  根据下文"A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English．"可知人们不知道未来还需不需要学习英语．故选D
34 A  推理判断题  根据"A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years now．有一份报告预测了100年后人类的生活．"可知这篇短文主要是关于2116年的生活，故选A
35 B  推理判断题  根据短文大意可知，这是一篇预测未来生活的文章，可能出现在报纸上，故选B
