Question

閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。(共10分，每小題2分)

It's March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.                                                
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centers. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done.
As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television.
Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels - the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers - before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2014 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home.
Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as
important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer.
According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a
few decades (十年) and then spend her time on music and painting.

試題分析：這篇短文中作者描繪了2050年時，一家人的生活。那時的人們生活中最重要的幫手就是電腦，很多工作都可以由電腦控制的機(jī)器人來做，學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)也將變得輕松簡單。

點(diǎn)評：本題中個別小題不能直接從文中找到答案，需要自己根據(jù)相關(guān)內(nèi)容分析總結(jié)。一定要弄懂全文后再動手解答問題。書寫答案時，注意首字母大寫，因為是回答問句，即使只有一個單詞也是一個句子。為避免不必要的錯誤，只要能使用原文的就盡量使用原文回答問題，即使自己總結(jié)也盡量使用短句。同時并注意人稱和數(shù)的變化。
