4.Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room?In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room,the lighting and the humidity(湿度).A sensor(感应器)will find the presence of a human(and,with luck,ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on,and when the humans leave,it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer,and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you.They will find faulty electrical appliances(用品),plugs or switches,separate them so that they cannot harm anyone,and then warn you that they need repair.They will detect fire and if you are out of the house,the computer will call the firefighters.It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.You will open them using your personal card-the one you use for shopping-maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key,and a housebreaker will have to tamper(胡乱摆弄)with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant.It will be an entertainer,and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now,of course,but by 2040"entertainment(娱乐)"will mean much more.For one thing,you will be able to take part actively,rather than just watching.

8.The author intends to tell us that in 2040D.
A.we will live without lights and heaters
B.we will use much more lights and heaters
C.there will be no switches of lights and heaters
D.lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
9.Which of the following statements is NOT true?C
A.The sensor is multi-functional.
B.Without a computer,the sensor cannot do much.
C.The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call when you are at home.
D.It is less likely to lose the key.
10.According to the author,in 2040,new technologyA.
A.will free us from the keys we use today
B.will turn everything into sensors
C.will make the locks out of date
D.will get rid of all crimes
11.Thanks to computers,in 2040peopleC.
A.will have no entertainment outside
B.will replace TV with computers
C.will be controlled by computers
D.will have more fun at home.

分析 本文讲述了到了2040年的时候,新科技的发展和应用会让人们的生活更便利.

解答 8.D 细节理解题.由第一段内容Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room?In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return."They will turn themselves off and on again when you return."如果你出门时忘记关闭灯或者热水器时,不要焦虑.因为他们会自动关闭并且在你回来的时候又自动打开,因此答案为D项.
9.C 推理判断题.文章第二段They will detect fire and if you are out of the house,the computer will call the firefighters.指出,如果你不在家时传感器感测到火灾,计算机就会告知消防队.传感器仅仅是一个感应装置,它感应到异常现象后将信号传给计算机,由计算机对信号处理后再发出相关信息.因此,本题选C项."传感器感测到火灾就发出紧急呼叫"这种说法是不对的.
10.A 细节理解题.根据第二段It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.可知到2040年,人们将使用电子卡开门.因此,本题的正确答案是A项,即新技术会使我们不必再使用我们今天所使用的钥匙.
11.C 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段内容The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant.It will be an entertainer,and most of your entertainment will come right into your home;you will be able to take part actively,rather than just watching 到了2040年,电脑将会不仅仅是一个警察、管家,更是会将娱乐带入到你的家里,到时你不仅是观看而且会参与其中,人们的生活会被电脑所支配,结合选项,故选C.

点评 本文是科教类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
