Question

【題目】 In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.

Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors（感測(cè)器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.

Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.

▲ : drones（無(wú)人機(jī)）are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast

drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!

To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?

【1】Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?

A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.

B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.

C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.

D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.

【2】What is a good result of using self-driving technology?

A.There will be fewer cars in the future.

B.Few people will ride a bike around.

C.People will have better driving skills.

D.All the car factories will go out of business.

【3】Which can be put in ▲ ?

A.But there will be traffic jams in the air

B.New technology will appear in the future

C.Change is not only happening on the ground

D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Transportation in the Future.B.Important Data in Cities.

C.Smart City Technology.D.The Cities of the Future.

【4】D

【解析】

文章大意：在未來(lái)，越來(lái)越多的人將搬到大城市。為了做好準(zhǔn)備，在大數(shù)據(jù)的幫助下，城市變得更加智能和高效。地方政府已經(jīng)在收集大量重要數(shù)據(jù)。例如，有測(cè)量噪音、污染和交通的傳感器。這被稱為“智慧城市技術(shù)”。這類技術(shù)在未來(lái)可能還很遙遠(yuǎn)，但其他技術(shù)即將問(wèn)世：自動(dòng)駕駛汽車今天正在世界各地進(jìn)行測(cè)試。無(wú)人機(jī)現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越普遍了。也許，無(wú)人機(jī)總有一天能把人送到鎮(zhèn)上。然后，你可以飛到任何你想去的地方！總而言之，未來(lái)的城市將大不相同。你長(zhǎng)大后想住在什么樣的城市？

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors（感測(cè)器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy.”地方政府已經(jīng)在收集大量重要數(shù)據(jù)。例如，有測(cè)量噪音、污染和交通的傳感器。這被稱為“智慧城市技術(shù)”。未來(lái)，這些數(shù)據(jù)將幫助我們節(jié)約能源，保持城市整潔，從而使我們的生活更加輕松�？芍�，第二段提到傳感器， 以顯示城市正在變得更加聰明。故答案為A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike” 如果自動(dòng)駕駛出租車能利用智能城市的數(shù)據(jù)找到帶你去目的地的最佳方式，那么交通堵塞就會(huì)減少，步行或騎自行車的空間也會(huì)增加。可知，故答案為A。

【3】理解判斷題。根據(jù)上文“People will probably stop buying cars altogether.” 人們可能會(huì)完全停止購(gòu)買汽車。和下句“drones（無(wú)人機(jī)）are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast” 無(wú)人機(jī)現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越普遍了。又便宜又快�？芍�，此空應(yīng)填變化不僅僅發(fā)生在地面上，故答案為C。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，在未來(lái)，越來(lái)越多的人將搬到大城市，總而言之，未來(lái)的城市將大不相同。你長(zhǎng)大后想住在什么樣的城市？這篇文章最好的標(biāo)題是未來(lái)的城市。故答案為D。
