Question

【題目】 Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a telepresence system(遠(yuǎn)程遙控系統(tǒng))—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自動(dòng)扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. Actually, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

【解析】

本文向我們描繪了未來(lái)智能生活情況。

【1】“one hundred years”翻譯為“一百年”，可用“世紀(jì)”替換。故填century。

【2】“to agree to do something”翻譯為“同意去做某事”，可用“批準(zhǔn)，贊成”替換。故填approve。

【3】分析“Actually, technology companies around the world such as IBM.”可知，此處表示“事實(shí)上，世界各地的科技公司，如IBM”，強(qiáng)調(diào)“事實(shí)上”，結(jié)合空格數(shù)可用in fact替換，用于句首需大寫首字母。故填(1).In (2).fact。

【4】根據(jù)“Every home there will have a telepresence system(遠(yuǎn)程遙控系統(tǒng))”可知，每家每戶都會(huì)有一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)程遙控系統(tǒng)。故填Every home there will have a telepresence system.

【5】根據(jù)“Actually, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.”可知，世界各地的科技公司，如IBM、西門子和微軟，已經(jīng)涉足這一領(lǐng)域，共三家公司。故填Three.

【6】根據(jù)“…said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.”可知，Dan Hill是一家研究公司的負(fù)責(zé)人。故填The head of a research company.
