Question

The Internet, mobile phones and iPads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系統)

It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精確的) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (設備) on land and receivers.

Space Technology

Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (無限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

Underwater Robot

Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

4.B

5.B

【解析】本文先概述了科技正深深地影響了我們的生活，從我們工作的方式以及到我們玩的方式，盡管如克隆也給人類帶來了一些副面影響。然后主要介紹了即將改變我們的觀點、即將深深地影響我們的三大發明。最終得出結論：我們應該接受現代科技，否則我們就趕不上時代潮流了。

1.細節理解題。根據Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系統)可知：It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions.。

2.細節理解題。根據Space Technology可知：B、C、D是對的，A是錯誤的（可根據該內容的最后一句可知：It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.。說明動作還沒有完成，與A項矛盾。）。

3.細節理解題。根據Underwater Robot的第二句話可知：It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.。

4.細節理解和推理判斷題。從此段我們可知：對于我們來說，學習新科技很重要。

5.主旨大意題：本段的主要目的是：要告訴我們——科技正改變著世界。
